  I had a brush with both alcoholism and video game addiction before. Good to hear that you don’t have to deal with any addictions.

  I think what could really help is having a tight circle of friends. When you have nothing going on for you in life and you are not really looking forward for anything, it might get you in this circular thinking of “my life is ruined because my brain doesn’t work right” and really focusing on this thought and seeing your neurodivergency as the root of all discomfort in your life, which may then manifest itself as suicidal thoughts. I have been there and I sometimes still have such episodes because I don’t get what I expect from my friends. So yeah, this is of course no easy task, but try to find people that will enrich your life with new things. Try to find things you can look forward to. You can say that it’s just coping, and it is, you are trying to disassociate from the pain of living with autism, but there is no other way around it; you can’t solve autism, you can only cope with it. There is no shame in coping with something that you cannot change.

  If you have ADHD and autism, it might increase the risk of substance abuse/addictions in general.

  Excuse me but sometimes, I just want to be angry and not “rationalize the causes of my anger”. I think it’s fully okay to be pissed about something and wanting vocalize your anger without immediately extinguishing it by “rationalizing” the thing that made you angry.

  I am not sure if advertising is a necessary evil. I guess I do not like being sold something constantly, and when I am in the market for anything, I will expose myself to advertising willingly, but it is, in way, a matter of consent. I can imagine that there is also people who like being sold things unsolicited, you know, they might say that they like discovering new products through advertisements.

  You can try setting up Ollama on your RPi, then use a highly-optimized variant of the Mistral model (or quantize it yourself with GGUF/llama.cpp). You can do some very heavy quantization (2-bit), which will increase the error rate. But if you are only planning to use the generated text as a starting point, it might be useful nevertheless.

  Unfortunately no, there is no DRM-free release of Hades.

  Why does every platform try to be everything nowadays?

  Older games used to have this by default. I remember playing Quake II with fire bound to CTRL alongside with mouse look enabled.

  I recently bought Invisible Inc., a turn-based tactical stealth game. I had my eye on it for almost 8 years now, but I seldom found time to play any other game than DotA. Now that I have beat my addiction, I can finally enjoy some games I had on my wishlist for a very long time. I also bought the first two Thief games and Grim Fandango Remastered.

  Grim Fandango made me tear up. I have never had so much fun in years playing a video game. I really enjoy adventure games (played Myst, Monkey Island, Beneath a Steel Sky) but I have the feeling that this style of game is a bit out of fashion currently. Any recommendations for modern adventure games?
