[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;53196311]Video games with customisable characters that don't let you save the character's face for later use. Now that's 95% of games with character customisation but it still pisses me off to unreasonable degrees. They don't even need to save a model, just a tiny file with the numbers used to generate the face.[/QUOTE] At the [I]very[/I] least, there's usually the workaround of saving your game asap and just backing that up so that you can just put it back when you want to use it. Still a pain in the ass though.
I constantly hear fire cracking sound in Skyrim Christ,this bug driving me insane Im not going to start over

There are far more businesses in this small town than where I lived before and it was easier to get a job there. What the fuck man i'm tired of being broke, I NEED a job.
Just logged onto my Origin, and even though I bought sim 3 (or 4) which ever one was the newest a few years or so back, it's no longer in my library and now it wants me to buy it again. Besides just making me mad, anyone know what I can do?

When the "Yes" and "No" buttons are always in set places but then for no reason for ONE option they decide to switch it so you end up clicking "Yes" when you wanted to click "No" so of fucking course I lose all my progress in the middle of a game because sony can't keep consistent
[QUOTE=Bertie;53196189]Language evolves, the meaning of words change, and anyone who isn't a brain-dead idiot would know how to separate jokey internet "autism" and actual autism in any given discussion. All I can say is you're taking the word and its change personally when it's not. Your ASD isn't something to hide at all but it's not something to go around proclaiming to dumb people if you don't want to get dumb responses. If you care about activism then you should be expecting people to be stupid and ignorant about it until they're taught better, not sure what there is to complain about.[/QUOTE] What the fuck? There is nothing even remotely acceptable about using mental conditions as derogatory slang. This is 4chan tier shit, come on now.
[QUOTE=Bertie;53195917]It shouldn't be used as an insult, but it developed into a sort of slang word and I think you're taking it more seriously than it is. Context matters of course, but I freely refer to my friends as "autistic" or "faggots" and many other naughty words that I 'shouldn't' be using jokingly. It's humour.[/QUOTE] Well, that is [I]technically[/I] humor, but it's extremely insensitive and derogatory humor that most socially adjusted people don't find funny past the age of 15. [editline]12th March 2018[/editline] Okay, here's a thing that gets me mad: my dad's insistence on using black slang. And I mean all of it. I go out of my way not to be seen in public with him because he has no filter whatsoever and he goes out of his way to embarrass me as much as possible. Then he wonders why I don't hang out with him. Blehh. Also, he's really shitty at using Google and refuses to learn, which is something that irrationally angers me about pretty much anyone.
I can get really impatient and irritable with people sometimes and it makes me an asshole. I look back on it later with regret
[QUOTE=KeelMobeel;53197697]What the fuck? There is nothing even remotely acceptable about using mental conditions as derogatory slang. This is 4chan tier shit, come on now.[/QUOTE] We used mental conditions as humorous "derogatory" slang in the psychiatric ward I was hospitalized in. In the high school class I was in, where we had anything from rape victims to diagnosed autistic people to mentally impaired people, we used the same sort of humor. I guess we tapped into the magical ability to not take things personally and seriously, that you haven't managed to access yet. [QUOTE=The golden;53197739]Yeah sorry you have absolutely zero right to take other peoples mental disorders and re-purpose the names to suite your needs then tell them "language evolves" and tell them to deal with it. I have no idea how you think this is even remotely acceptable.[/QUOTE] You sound like you made your mental disorder part of your identity. If you can't at all detach yourself from the word "autism" and see it as the internet slang word that it is nowadays, then I guess you're inevitably going to be offended by people joking around. Nothing more I can say. [QUOTE=AtomicSans;53197794]Well, that is [I]technically[/I] humor, but it's extremely insensitive and derogatory humor that most socially adjusted people don't find funny past the age of 15. [/QUOTE] I guess we're socially maladjusted loons then.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;53197969]Are we really doing that unearned pretentious bullshit where you confuse “not having a filter” with maturity and mental fortitude, against things that aren’t targeted at yourself? Really that’s just as spineless as it gets. it’s neither of those things, you’re just holding yourself to an incredibly low standard and pretending your shit doesn’t stink. The whole language evolves crap destroys your own excuses, language doesn’t evolve by one guy on FP trying to weasel their way out pissing on people with disabilities by patting themselves on the back. It’s a competition of ideas, and the side of people who grew up tend to disagree with you.[/QUOTE] Well, most of this post is just nicely worded bile, so there's not much to say. As for "not having a filter", I do have a filter. If there's some hypersensitive person next to me who can't handle certain words, I won't use them next to him, but hypersensitive is what they are and I'm not gonna encourage that. I'm gonna keep stressing the importance of context and intention that a bunch of you are relentlessly ignoring. I never said I'm walking up to autistic people like the golden and cracking epic jokes about Minecraft to their face. The context of the usage of the word matters. The time and the place and the people involved. Let me repeat a standard cliche and suggest that some of you need to grow thicker skin, straight up.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;53198019]Cut the mental gymnastics and grow out of it. I made a conscious decision a while back to actively lessen and eventually drop that crap entirely, at no personal cost. It’s frankly is irrelevant what kind of excuses and asterisks you attatch to it, you are reducing a condition and the people with it to an acceptable target for some petty amusement. ASD People aren’t just stigmatised because they’re different, they’re stigmatized because the narrow minded people established and fed into the idea that using them as a punching bag is cool bro. Sticking fingers in your ears and pretending your actions don’t have consequences isn’t being thick skinned, it’s being thick skulled.[/QUOTE] We're just going in circles. They're not excuses, they're explanations, ones that are not even being addressed, but just straight up ignored. Excuse me if I don't take you too seriously when your posts amount to "grow up". I am not reducing the condition and the people with it to an acceptable target for petty amusement. The word autism, within the context I talk about, has nothing to do with ASD people. It's just a word. Intent and context matters. You keep ignoring it and I keep repeating it, because I don't care about your blanket bans. I hate to see people get so attached to some word that was put on them.
I was just talking to one of my friends who was autistic about this recently actually, and they said people ascribing negative connotations and describing certain unsavory behaviors as "autistic" really made them feel really self-conscious and self-hating about their own qualities and behaviors on a regular basis. Stigmatizing things like sexuality and mental illness and giving them negative connotations by using them in a purely negative fashion is incredibly harmful to people's self confidence and how they live with those parts of their lives. I grew up in a time where my peers would use "gay" as like, THE most common word to describe literally anything and everything negative in your life that you hated (i.e. "thats so gay!") and was called a faggot all the time for being slightly less masculine and more emotionally sensitive than my peers. Considering that I actually did end up being bi it resulted in a ton of self-hatred and made me hide that part of myself for a long time, and even now I still tend to be kinda closeted irl. And that's my individual experience, ignoring the larger stigma it attached to homosexuality in the first place. Please dont and use words like that outside of proper contexts, especially in derogatory ones.
I'm reminded of two former co-workers I had, both gay, both whom reacted differently to the use of homophobic language. One would freely use the word faggot, tell gay jokes often, and frequently used "well that's gay" to express his displeasure, though he would be offended if someone actually acted in what he felt was a homophobic manor. The other would be upset if anyone said "well that's gay". I don't really feel like either of them were wrong in how they reacted to or used words, people have different ways they feel about the usage of such words. Saying someone is hypersensitive because they are offended is silly, but so is calling people "immature 15 year olds" because of language they use in a private setting. Being offended doesn't mean you're overly sensitive, but being loose with your language in private doesn't mean you can't take a condition seriously or have empathy towards people with said condition.
See, when I was joking with my ex by saying "I'm not artistic I'm [I]autistic[/I]" that's a (dumb) joke. When you go, "Oh you like Minecraft? That's so autistic" that's just an insult. Pretty easy to see the difference.
[QUOTE=Bertie;53198039]The word autism, within the context I talk about, has nothing to do with ASD people.[/QUOTE] I have to bring this up specifically to show just how unbelievably stupid this line of reasoning is. Let's use some parallels, shall we? Does any one of these sound remotely acceptable to you? [QUOTE]"Faggot" has nothing to do with gay people.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]"Nigger" has nothing to do with black people.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]"Gas the kikes" doesn't mean "Kill the Jews."[/QUOTE] (I can't believe I've actually seen this one in the wild.) I could go on but you get the idea. Sorry, these derogatory insults are inseparable from their origins in prejudice against marginalized groups. "B-but language changes over time!!" is a lame excuse that shows complete ignorance of historical context (which you really should be aware of, since you're so insistent on the importance of [I]context[/I].) Usage of these insults displays your willingness to be complicit with prejudiced attitudes against these groups. Without even going there, though: when somebody tells you that something you have a habit of saying is hurtful: you stop doing it. That's literally it, that's one of the basics of being a good person. I don't understand people who can't do this. I've gone through bad phases in the past, I had an edgelord anti-SJW phase in high school where I spouted hateful garbage about trans people (what irony.) I've jokingly called my friends faggots before. But I stopped doing that shit because I realized the potential for hurting people that those words carried, and [I]just like magic,[/I] that stuff stopped being funny once I understood the [I]context[/I].

[QUOTE]"Gas the kikes" doesn't mean "Kill the Jews."[/QUOTE] As an Israeli Jew, I hear the phrase "gas the kikes" and other similar expressions about Jews and money often from my friends online. We also call each other faggots and homos, and some of us are gay. So yes, "gas the kikes" doesn't mean "kill the Jews", in the sense that when it's part of playful banter, it's about teasing the person on the receiving end and not about literally wanting to gas the kikes. I guess it's worth noting that when I hang around the more 4chan-oriented /pol/-inspired groups where such interactions are probably less playful and more spiteful, I don't tolerate it nearly as much. Anderan summed up what I was trying to say better than I did. In private, with friends, language has a different weight and a different meaning. I don't go around being an edgelord in public or in front of people I don't know or in front of people who might be offended. And he's also right that calling people here hypersensitive was mean of me, and I apologize. My opinion hasn't changed at all though.

Around her and really just anyone who's mentally handicapped, I won't say the word "retarded," because it offends her and would be extremely rude and inconsiderate to use it around anyone who's afflicted by some condition, even if they might not actually care. But here on FP? I literally just called Sony retarded like an hour and a half ago. One of my groups of friends back in high school (like three or so years ago) consisted of two black people and two white people, but we all sat around in a circle during lunch every day playing Duck Game calling each other a "bitch ass nigga" as a joke. I've since quit hanging out with them, and so, I don't say it anymore, because it's just not the language I use around regular, everyday people that I don't know, same with the other white person in the group. I see no problem with things said among friends, but outside of that is a problem to me.

If having to open something other than Steam is so big of an inconvenience that you now no longer want the game, I really doubt you gave that many fucks in the first place.
