Being autistic is a blessing and a curse even at the best of times. One moment you're a blazing super computer so ingrained in something and unstoppable, and one small thing causes a slip up that crushes you to the point where you may not recover for years.

I just feel like, with help from an earlier age, I could've built up an ingrained skillset and given ways to help myself.

I just feel like because I was more trouble than the other kids at school, not disruptive just really quiet and didn't ask for help, I was passed over and my potential killed.

Omg I didn't realise you were trans too, my god!!!
Been watching you for years and years, so happy for you

I'm just not excited for this anymore. I'll finish the season, I'll probably rewatch it at some point, I'll watch season 3 but I am so disappointed with this.

I need to find time to replay the game so I can see this story the way it should be.

No offense to the actors or crew. Set design is on point, cinematography is fine (even if the final grade is way too vibrant), every actor is great they just needed better material.

I'm not even angry I'm just so deflated, I watched every episode on release until episode 5. I watched it days after.

There's still good moments but overall, they have completely fumbled the adaptation of one of my favourite stories ever. I hoped that 2-3 seasons would allow more organic storytelling, instead we're relegated to no subtlety, over explained, under plotted television.

Every episode I hope this series will finally start to adapt Part II properly and every episode I'm more disappointed. Now we're basically at the end of Ellie's section and her side of the story has been squandered beyond belief. The Dina romance was cute it has become corny, Ellie is way too upbeat

My 2nd quibble is tone. Besides the end of the last episode this series feels weirdly light in a lot of places. I miss Part II's constant oppressive hopelessness. I'm hoping we can really dig into the bleakness as this goes on.

I am still enjoying the show though. So this isn't supposed to be hate

I understand why HBO, Mazin and Druckmann are heading in this direction, but as much as I love it S1 was way too fast and I was hoping multiple seasons would give this more time to breathe but we're still breaknecking this thing.

I think more of an emphasis on the inbetween time would have caused a bigger twist of the knife. I was expecting (I didn't watch the trailers) S2 to be wholly the connective tissue between Parts I&II and maybe end with last episode's big moment.

Ngl, I thought that was the lava texture from Resident Evil 5
