Grundulum posted:It would not surprise me at all if there were significant overlap between people on the spectrum and people considered to be literal-minded nerds. There absolutely is. Double empathy problem, people! Understand that, if I seem too eager to defend Demetrius from accusations of being a jerk in ways that the character doesn't deserve, it is because I am autistic and 1) I see a lot of people showing what I see as obvious autistic behaviors get categorically dismissed as rude, bizarre, or obnoxious -- often by those who seem to have very little knowledge about autism -- and 2) like a lot of autistic people, I get defensive about my autistic headcanons because good rep is so goddamn rare! I just want to protect all the autists, even the fictional ones!* Anyway, this game lets you engage as much or as little as you want with the various mechanics, in-game cause and effect are highly predictable and unambiguous, it doesn't require a ton of super-fiddly coordination, and the characters are cute, colorful, and easy to befriend. It's such a good autistic special interest. *Except Sheldon Cooper. TBBT writers are the ones who can eat poo poo.

Demetrius is a true pal, he sends actual useful poo poo in the mail (off-season Nautilus and Rainbow Shells for quest completion!) and builds out the fruit or mushroom cave.

From what CA said in an interview for the book Blood Sweat and Pixels, trying to add MP was where he started having severe burnout and depression with SDV, to the point that he asked Chucklefish for staff to help with it which up to that point he hadn't done at all. I imagine that leaves one fairly gunshy about promising it in the future.

I really need to start playing this game sober - it's not that I necessarily make mistakes, but rather more than I play all night and then come back the next night and have zero recollection of what I've done and waste half an in-game day figuring it out.

I kinda like this person's theory vids. This is one of the less out-there ones, which argues that one of the worst townies is ... George. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZR70hxo1Cg I don't agree with all the points -- Penny is in the wrong for "helping" George with his mail without asking if he needed help -- but it's a surprisingly strong argument. I know people love grumpy grandpa and I kinda do too, but it is messed up how little he appreciates everything his wife does for him, and how homophobic he is if you marry Alex without maxing out George's Hearts. The characters this thread loves to hate -- Pierre, Clint, Demetrius, Shane, Lewis -- all have serious flaws, but they never tell you to your face that your marriage is "unnatural" if you don't go out of your way to become their best chums. I think the main reason people like George is because he reminds them of their own grandfathers. That's why they're willing to dismiss his mean traits: "Ha! Classic grandpa!"

No George is a dick. He just gets more of a pass than the other shitheads in the game because he's crippled, it's more understandable than Pierre or Lewis just being narcissistic assholes. I think I said it a long time ago but my favorite zany-but-not-entirely-implausible Stardew theory is that Jodi is trying to kill Kent with clumsily made bombs, which Kent finds, fixes up and mails to The Farmer.

George has leeks an incredibly common spring item you find on the ground as a loved gift. Pierre only has fried calimari, a cooked dish you must learn the recipe for that requires a rare fish only found at night in winter. This is the biggest difference between peoples opinions of the two

I've been on both sides: a person in a wheelchair and a person who wanted to be a good friend/neighbor to someone. If it had been me I would have wanted to help George instead of watching him struggle in futility, and his reaction was way over the top, imo.

She should have asked him if he would like some help, not just say "oh let me help you" and physically shove him aside. Like Penny just didn't know better but she definitely did the Wrong Thing there.

Most disabled people have horror stories about well-meaning people trying to help them, the problems the well-meaning people caused, and how invalidated the disabled people felt. Eric the Mauve is right about this: if you see a disabled person struggling, always ask them if they need help before jumping in. Never touch them, their equipment, or their service animals without permission unless it's an emergency.

George mostly escapes the criticism cause he's so out of the way. You don't really need to interact with him at all if you don't want to. Pierre is your main contact for buying seeds, Clint is your only source of tool upgrades, and while you never need to speak to Demetrius you do need to visit his house regularly for farm buildings or if you're trying to date either Maru or Sebastian. Meanwhile there are no services at George's house, and while you'll probably be by his place if you're dating Alex, Alex isn't a popular boyfriend to begin with. Most people don't see enough of him to pick up more than "cranky old man".

George can also be befriended into renouncing his homophobia, whereas nothing you do will make Pierre less of a sleazebag, Clint let go of his fixations, or Demetrius be a good step-father.

Most dictatorships nowadays still have elections for show. The gotoro empire is actually a constitutional monarchy, they have rights and a well-developed welfare state that ferngillers could only dream of.
