Introduction Post

dbhfan28

Hi all, I'm new here to this community, I'm 22 and autistic and adhd (both diagnosed this year, though knew about autism for years before due to a while's waiting to be assessed) I was recommended to try this online forum in my feedback session for the autism diagnosis and I thought I'd give it a try and see if I can get involved and find community/connection. I've listed my main interests in my bio, though my most special interest is the video game Detroit: Become Human (alluded to in my username). Looking forwards to giving this a try!

  • Good morning from America, dbhfan28!

    Congrats on the diagnosis! I hope it has helped you to understand yourself a little more.

    I play Fortnite Zero Build with my friends a lot, but never tried Festival. Isn’t that one that’s focused on music and emotes?

    Hope to see you around here often.

    Good morning, thank you! It's definitely been helpful getting the diagnosis, just in terms of understanding myself better.

    I play some zero build too, not too often as I find it a bit difficult, though definitely better than regular battle royale with all the building structures. That's why I tend to main more of the festival mode. You're right, that's the one with music, it's a rhythm sort of game, kind of like Guitar Hero but probably a lot easier (other than songs that were brought over from guitar hero onto Fortnite festival, which are extremely hard)

    I find that most relaxing too with video games, playing on easy mode is a lot better than trying extreme and never getting anywhere. I do the same with Skyrim when I play, they have a "survival" mode with realistic hunger and temperatures and that's just not for me, video games are just fun when they're doable. Plus in games that have a story with them it's a lot better of an experience without all the interruptions if you can't progress past hard parts.

    Honestly? I’m a “dad” gamer so I tend to play games at the easiest difficulty when I can so it’s easier to relax. So I get why Festival would be more fun if you find Zero Build tricky. Like for example I love the Fire Emblem games, but I don’t find it any more enjoyable to suffer through the excruciatingly hard difficulty modes when I can just relax and breeze through the easiest mode.
