Lemmy world doesn't let you add multiple images so I added the funniest one I had. Anyway, I absolutely adore Go Diego Go.There are usually no bright colors or loud sounds, and it's very repetitive which I adore. Though unfortunately it has the loud and annoying type of character, aka Rescue Pack... but aside from rescue pack and the fourth wall breaks, I also love this show because it teaches about animals!

Aww that’s sweet! There’s definitely a relatable validity to wanting gentle, low stakes, low-sensory content and I think you’ll find that a common sentiment in autistic spaces.

I usually start my day by watching one of my comfort shows on repeat before having to slog to work and play gentle, repetitive/comfort games to unwind afterwards. Lately it’s a third run through of King of the Hill for me, and I just picked up some DLC for Powerwash Simulator 2 that I’m enjoying. So similarly low-stakes and low-sensory input.

There’s something about wholesomeness too that’s calming. What’s one of your favorite moments/episodes from this series, if you want to share?

    That's interesting. I typically prefer more intense stuff, but Diego seems to be an exception. Could just be because hyperfixations/special interests 'rewire' my brain in a way, for example, Stray is a game I find very boring but played probably 50 times now, and spent over a hundred hours playing. I blame it on either the cat or the game being a special interest.

    And my favourite episodes are Alicia Saves the Crocodile and Alicia & Whitetail to the Rescue, or just anything involving Alicia in general as she's my absolute favourite (And she's in the image I shared in the post, by the way!)

    as for scenes, I don't remember many as I haven't sat down and watched a full episode in like 8 months. But I do have a few scenes I don't like, such as Whitetail falling down a cliff in Alicia & Whitetail, since the white-tailed deer is my favourite animal / special interest and I hate seeing them harmed, or Nico (Diego and Alicia's father) losing control of the boat and almost crashing it into a massive rock while Alicia was onboard in Save the Sea Turtles.

    I I want to get Stray! I wanted it since I first saw it and now I see it is for Apple too! Thanks for reminding me. As soon as I can afford $30 I am getting it! I am attracted to it becaue it looks hyper realistic. I dont like the fake ness of games.
