A Bit About Me

Hello.

I'm a late-diagnosed autistic person living authentically. My autism is level 1, formerly called asperger.

I communicate directly. I struggle with indirect communication. I appreciate honesty.

I consider myself a positive, empathetic, and open-minded person with a sense of justice. I reject social hierarchy and social status. I don't accept any form of injustice, manipulation, or imposed control. I lean toward moral libertarianism. I value personal freedom, individual responsibility, and deliberate choice above all. My core values are fundamental to who I am. I follow an inner moral compass that guides my decisions.

Respect is essential to me. I'm very friendly, but I have principles, especially when it comes to respect. Achievements alone aren't enough to earn respect without good character. They add extra respect when someone has good character. What matters most to me is character. If there's disrespect, I'll cut contact. If there's mutual respect, I'll treat others the same way.

I have boundaries. I avoid environments and people that can be harmful for autistics like me, especially those who consistently display narcissistic and manipulative traits, as well as machiavellian, psychopathic, sociopathic, and antisocial traits, both online and in real life. I don't quickly label and judge people. I observe behaviour patterns.

I have a childlike sense of humour. Sometimes I share funny or meaningful ideas that suddenly appear in my mind.

I enjoy thoughtful conversations about topics I'm passionate about. I don't reply in real-time. I reply when I can. You can reply in your own time. It's also fine if you can't reply.

I add new people from time to time. Unless we're friends enough, I won't take offence if you don't accept my friend request or unfriend me later. Feel free to add or remove me whenever you want.

You're welcome to add me if you'd like.

Thanks for reading.

Autism Explained

Autism isn't a disorder that needs to be cured. It's a natural variation in how human brains develop and function. Autistic brains process information, emotions, communication, and sensory input differently from neurotypical brains. This shapes how autistics perceive and interact with the world. Autism isn't caused by external factors. It has a strong genetic basis, which may involve polygenic variants inherited from parents, de novo mutations, or both. It's lifelong and a part of a person's identity. Autism isn't a straight line. It's multidimensional. Visuals with levels can be misleading. Sensory processing, communication, executive functioning, emotional regulation, motor skills, masking, and burnout are all distinct dimensions. Each can appear at different intensities in the same person, even from day to day. Hiding autistic traits to fit neurotypical norms is called masking. Masking often leads to exhaustion, burnout, anxiety, and depression. Autistics should be able to communicate, think, and behave in ways that are natural for them. They may require support in certain areas of life. Support should focus on enabling them to live authentically and comfortably. This can be achieved through understanding, acceptance, appropriate support, and environments adapted to their needs.

My Personal Tastes in Music, Films, Shows, and Games

🎧🎬🎥📚🖥️

Why I Prefer Niches Over Mainstream

I don't really enjoy mainstream. In my opinion, when something becomes popular, it often loses what made it special. Most works are made to please the masses rather than to make something with depth. Especially nowadays, everything feels rushed. I'm into niches. I'm more interested in titles from the 1980s to 2000s. Those eras had a kind of originality I rarely see in today's world.

―――――

Favourite Music

Meditative, hypnotic, exotic, otherworldly, and dreaminess with avant-garde soundscapes similar to Coil's Stolen & Contaminated Songs. Experimental industrial metal including mechanical, harsh, and crushy rhythms with existential weight similar to Godflesh's Pure. Cyber industrial metal featuring melodic tones and dynamic vocals similar to Fear Factory, Mnemic, or Sybreed.

Top 10 Music
1. Coil – Stolen & Contaminated Songs (1992)
2. Coil – Worship the Glitch (1995)
3. Godflesh – Pure (1992)
4. Godflesh – Post Self (2017)
5. Fear Factory – Archetype (2004)
6. Mnemic – Passenger (2007)
7. Sybreed – The Pulse of Awakening (2009)
8. Breach the Void – The Monochromatic Era (2010)
9. Shadow Domain – Digital Divide (2018)

In My Opinion, Thief is the Best Game Series Ever Made

🌒🏰👁️🗝️🕯️

My Thoughts on the Thief Series

If I had to choose only one game series, it would be Thief, the pinnacle of the stealth genre.

There's something really satisfying about slipping through shadows, listening to approaching footsteps, stealing priceless treasures, and vanishing without any trace. Every careful step makes you explore more while staying alert to everything around you.

Thief was the first stealth game built around light, sound, and the player. Stealth here isn't just about being unseen, it's about seeing. It teaches you patience and observation over aggression. It makes you feel like a vulnerable yet clever human rather than a superhero. That's why, unlike other stealth games, Thief is considered pure stealth.

The City blends gothic architecture with steampunk elements, filled with noble manors, abandoned cathedrals, and haunted crypts. Divided by magic, religion, nature, and technology, it's rich in literary and mystical depth. Factions like the Keepers, the Hammerites, the Pagans, and the Mechanists struggle for control. All these show parallels to aspects of our own world. Here, patience is your greatest weapon, and shadows are your closest allies.

The protagonist, Garrett. He's not a hero, and he's not trying to save the world, loyal only to himself. He's intelligent, cynical, snarky, and darkly humorous. As for the soundtracks, they're unmatched and perfectly match the atmosphere.

With its innovative mechanics, rich world-building, and twist-filled storytelling, Thief is unlike anything else. Thanks to voice actor Stephen Russell, composer Eric Brosius, and everyone at Looking Glass Studios for creating this masterpiece.

For over two decades, the community and fan missions have kept the spirit of the series alive. Thief's influence is still visible in modern stealth and immersive sim games. Without it, titles like Dishonored, Gloomwood, and countless others wouldn't exist.

To me, Thief isn't just the best game series ever made. It's a timeless work. It gives me a vibe I can't really explain. Nothing else has ever made me feel this way. It haunts you forever, even long after you stop playing.

A Call

If you consider yourself a real Thief fan, skip the 2014 / 2025 reboots. They've nothing to do with the original Thief games. They feel like cash-grabs that exploit the IP and disrespect its legacy.
