- All public transport now runs on schedule. I love schedules.
- It’s illegal to show up at someone’s door unnanounced. You must text first.
- No music in supermarkets. Also, ordering groceries to your address is now free.
- Instead of engaging in meaningless small talk, people ask what topic someone has been obsessed with lately.
- Ads are abandoned.
- Working from home is now default.
- Restaurants carry common “Safe food” menus, and silent seating options.
- Social capital is no longer about how much you earn, and what kind of success you have, but about knowledge of obscure movie references.
- What’s on TV? Oh, it’s your comfort show on rerun again!
- People of support level 2 and higher will be granted magical powers to compensate for their difficulties. Not sure how I’ll implement this in practice but I’ll damn sure give it a shot.
I can definitely relate.
For instance, BG3 has this launcher window where you have to click a “play” button to start the game. The first few times I launched it, I could not for the life of me figure out how to get past that screen without help. It turns out the button was highlighted in a way to grab your attention such that I just couldn’t see it.
We also have an app here for reading store flyers. Sometimes a certain store gets “featured” and they get this huge banner-like look instead of the usual thumbnail. They might as well not exist anymore at that point.
Glad to hear I’m not alone. I can notice subtle things very well. But big colors and buttons I’m basically trained to ignore. I complain about app/web UI design to a massive degree too. We need more autism coated people approving these things.
