Minecraft and No Man's Sky. (But then, I repeat myself.)
Also, to a lesser extent, Lemmy. That one is still more of a growing fixation, rather than a hyper-fixation.

Lol. I think Lemmy would benefit from "categories" of up-votes/down-votes. This comment got my up-vote entirely because I found it amusing.
I can't really say from personal experience -- mostly because I'm quite certain that I would offend someone in-so-doing -- but I have an idea that might offer some insights:
There's a link in the right hand sidebar of this community to helpful resources; from there is a link to Autism tests. Click on the AQ-10 test, and take it. After you finish, look back over your answers, see if you can guess which questions would have made your score lower, and change those answers accordingly. Play around with it a bit, and maybe even think of it as a game. If you get your score down to zero... that's roughly how the most "neurotypical" person would have answered. That's not to say that all NTs will answer that way, but it gives you an idea of the traits that suggest neurotypicality, with the opposing answer obviously suggesting neurodivergent traits. Analytically, this also means that the more strongly you gravitate towards the ND trait answers, the less "typical" is your natural behavior.
You could also do this with the 50 question version of the test, but I imagine that would take a lot more time and effort with a much more limited return on investment, as compared to just doing the 10... but even as I'm writing this, I'm finding myself tempted to go do it anyway. That's probably one of the ND traits in me.
(Alternatively, if you're familiar with the structure of HTML, you can easily figure out all of the answers from the page source.)
There are a few different types of base part limits -- but the specific limit which obviously matters the most is the upload part limit. (Uploading is what you do to share your base with the rest of the NMS community.)
The "I don't know how to..." questions are mostly answered by doing exactly what you're already doing... playing through those main questlines at the top of the list. But don't hesitate to explore the secondary quests; there can be some good stuff there, too.
One of the things I like the most about NMS is that there's no real sense of urgency to any of it, other than what you imbue it with yourself... so picking and choosing whichever quest strikes your fancy at the moment can be quite satisfying.
Also, I suggest that you don't stress too much about units; if you can't afford something right now, just look into it later. Even if you never read a single spoiler, in time you will no doubt discover a few methods on your own to obtain an overabundance of units.
As spoiler free as I can make this, (in deference to Dinodicchellathicc) while still kind'a answering your question: Start looking into Quicksilver tasks on the Anomaly.
A while back I started a Permadeath save specifically for the purpose of finishing off that last Steam task... so lately, I've mostly just been beefing up that save. Got a crap-ton of upgrades to my primary ship and Multitool, started a settlement, upgraded my Minotaur and got an S-class freighter -- which I don't even have on my original save with >500 hours!
So now, I'm actually finding it next to impossible to repeat the process, and find an S-class freighter for my other saves.
iOSification can come in two forms: aesthetic and functional. The aesthetic changes don’t worry me in the least. It’s the possibility of the eventual removal of macOS features that set it apart from iOS that would be concerning.
Full disclosure: I have not been officially tested by a doctor, myself, because depending upon your insurance, it can be pretty expensive. So money could certainly be one very valid reason to not get tested. On the other side of that, my wife and I did choose to have our kids tested, so that they can take advantage of options that such a diagnosis opens up within the public school system. You obviously aren’t looking towards that path, yourself, but that doesn’t mean it is entirely without value.
That said, I did take the online test, which is primarily targeted at an adult audience and which (unsurprisingly) showed very strong indicators that I’m also autistic. I would suggest starting there. The way I look at it, knowledge is a tool; you get to decide how (or if) to use that tool. And when the barrier to obtaining that knowledge is low, it’s worth the effort to step forward and see where that knowledge takes you.
The website with online tests is linked under helpful resources in the collection of links in the sidebar, but I’ll also go ahead and link directly to that website right here for your convenience: https://embrace-autism.com/autism-tests/
The ten question test is merely a subset of the fifty question test; if you’re at all distressed about the process, feel free to start at the short test. (I took both, and they both scored me extremely highly.)
This feels to me a lot like blaming the kids when dad comes home drunk. Some of the MCU movies have been absolutely great... some, not so much. Likewise for the Disney+ shows, for that matter. Just let each of them stand on their own two feet and stop casually casting blame on content that is at best only peripherally related.
And for crying out loud... stop force injecting political agendas into a movie which offer no meaningful contribution to the actual plot. I promise you, that's done far more damage to movies than any of the Disney+ content.
Welcome to the fold! Be warned: coders tend to be a weird bunch of folks.
The most important lesson I ever learned as I was starting out in software engineering came from my Design Principles teacher, during my short stint at a community college. That was a class which was technically not associated with a specific programming language, though the same teacher also taught various programming classes in different languages. She also wrote her own textbook for that Design class, actually... I still have my prepublication copy of it somewhere, that she had handed out to the entire class for free that semester. To this day, I still have a great deal of respect for that teacher. But I digress.
The lesson I learned from her was this: Programming languages are just tools like any other. Tools come and go over the years. The skills that you learn which will last beyond whatever language you're learning and using right now are going to be things like how to construct good logic and how to structure a meaningfully intuitive user interface. These are the things that you should focus on perfecting first and foremost, rather than the syntactical nuances of any given language. If you have a good design at the outset, everything else should fall into place much more easily.
