Perhaps the most important event of my life was discovering I have autism at age 33. Many things that didn't make sense suddenly did. I pointed my hyperfocus inward to my own mind,…

I am not saying this to complain. I have no regrets or complaints. I am free from suffering as a result of going through this experience. I live at the monastery full time now.

I feel this. I have been burned over and over again as well. I desire to trust deeply and build real intimacy with friends and colleagues and lovers, and for many years I was very …

Oh hey it's deepnight - I remember your awesome Ludum Dare games. Thank you for sharing this tool with the gamedev community!
