That point about how sensory processing issues can affect your health is so on point, I had no idea how much of my general anxiety was caused just by the world being too loud and bright. Earplugs and sunglasses worked instantly where 5 different medications failed to do anything.

Because the number of people who won’t buy it because of the LCD screen is smaller than the number of additional people who will buy it if it’s $X cheaper at launch.

I don’t seem to be able to reply to WookieMunster so I’ll say here:

I don’t get the hype over OLED screens, honestly. The difference isn’t enough for me to care, and it’ll be plugged into a TV most of the time anyway. It’s only a downgrade in that one area and only if you have an OLED Switch, whereas I don’t have any kind of Switch and couldn’t tell you which model my husband’s (the one I’ve played) is.

I’ll maybe believe a release date when it’s actually announced,. Maybe. Though I already know I’m buying the Switch successor if it’s backwards compatible with Switch games, so it would be nice if this article turned out to be true.

If you already have an ADHD diagnosis, there probably is no point seeking an autism diagnosis. Being that there’s no medical treatment, and what disability protections there are would be covered by the ADHD diagnosis, I suspect you’d be best off trying coping techniques on your own. Which is mercifully quite easy to do.

The biggest game-changer for me was considering that I might actually have sensory sensitivities. I always assumed I didn’t have many, if any, but it turns out a huge chunk of my day-to-day anxiety was due to light and sound overstimulation.

Would definitely recommend, it’s proper co-op (in the sense of both players having the same game experience, not the sense of needing to actually cooperate). I’m terrible at platformers so I find it challenging, an actually competent player would probably find it generally easy.

I’m loving it, though it’s not as fun as Pikmin 3 Deluxe was. My husband and I played co-op and we dandori’d the fuck out of that game, it was awesome. For 4 we’re taking turns doing a day/night each, haven’t tried the “co-op” yet because it sounds incredibly lame.

Oatchie makes the game so much easier. For better and worse, but I think more better than worse, I basically just treat him as a noble steed to take advantage of not having to worry about stragglers.
