The road in front of my building is closed to be resurfaced this week and this afternoon it’s SO QUIET. I love it, blissful!
I don’t even need to wear my noise-cancelling headphones to be able to relax. I love where I live but I wish it was like this all the time.

(The reverse is also true of course, when you can get neurotypical people to feel like it does to find a new special interest - you’ e got an excellent teaching tool.
Wait… is learning the opposite of horror?)

Anyway my point is that if you can crack a way to make neurotypical people feel what it’s like to be autistic in these ways, you’ve got a cool horror concept.

Like to me, making a phone call is scary in a way I simply can’t explain. I don’t even understand WHY. I know the steps required to perform the task but my brain will shut down at the possibility 9 times out of 10. I’m used to it, but what if suddenly, the concept of buttons is terrifying, or stirring, or shoelaces?

(To be clear, *need* is too strong a word. Even if someone offered me time on such a thing, it'd be more effort than I care for to make use of it. So, no offers needed, but thanks <3)

Looks like picotron's web exporter is working super well!
I'm not accustomed to html files over 1mb tho, but that might be more a case of me being old than anything else? I mean these days you I think nothing of pasting a bitmap into discord so maybe its fine?
And I guess it's been loading that much on the BBS games I've played without even noticing.
tl;dr:
picotron now has html export!
and I'm old!

I suppose some unfair shapes could be made specifically/conditionally fair depending on how they are weighted, but certainly not all.
And I’m not adding another category because this is about shape not a combination of shape and mass distribution

To be clear, these are types of fairness, a shape belongs to one category only. They do not quantify how fair/unfair that shape is, and all shapes can become less fair if biased physically (eg a cube stops being fair if you load it with weights)

Okay, I’ve got it, a classification of dice shapes by type of fairness:
- Generally Fair (fair under all circumstances. Think Platonic solids, trapezohedra, Catalan solids, etc)
- Specifically Fair (fair only under a specific set of circumstances. These become less fair if you change various physical properties other than their shape, eg a 3-sided coin)
- Unfair (Never fair. My assumption is that all dice that aren’t isohedral or prismatic belong to this category)

You can paste #picotron sprites into the code editor to get illustrated code comments!
(and edit the line if you want to see the pod data for the bitmap)
super neat!
