I have to expunge the last bits of liberalism from myself. Shit like still eating meat once in a while, not wearing a mask when out with friends and ordering delivery when too tired to cook like a fucking treatlord. This site has unironically helped me in a ton of ways and I thank every one of you for this
Greece too
Work has broken my mind to the extent that I regressed to wanting to buy shiny Yu-Gi-Oh cards even if I know its a bad idea. My job isn’t even that hard but it’s still exhausting to have to take the 1h commute, mask and socialize, stress over my responsibilities and fake working even if my energy reserves are done for the day.
I don’t understand if I am just naturally lazy or if the autism+ADHD combo is making this harder than it is for NTs.
If I didn’t have my gf I don’t know if I would be able to stand this situation. I barely manage to now, only by taking drugs and eating emotionally (I have reached my max weight so far).
At least I do some fun stuff from time to time like playing Kingdom Hearts for the first time (it was one of my childhood hyperfixations), watching quality media such as Twin Peaks with my gf and playing with the yugioh cube I assembled with the few friends I still have.
Void Stranger but I am not sure if the essaybros have found it
I can picture a type of person that would enjoy Elden Ring for its artistic value but suck at games due to reasons outside their control (bad reaction times, poor concentration, sensory processing difficulties etc) or even due to not having enough time to “git gud”. Why shouldn’t they have their easy mode? Other mediums aren’t that inaccessible to people
It’s absolutely ableist. My ADHD makes me worse at games for sure (and also way less able to tolerate punishing design such as the Dark Souls corpse runs), also some things like tapping rapidly I just can’t do at all. The only answer gamer bros have for me is “git gud” or its even worse evolution “skill issue”.
It really triggers the RSD sometimes but what can you do, I just play easier slop now (especially since work has crushed my soul) and have more fun. I would actually love a website that lists the bullshit in each game like infrequent checkpoints, difficulty spikes, lack of quest markers etc so I can know to avoid them.
I don’t really have intense sensory issues but ketamine analogs help me introspect and think without the anxiety caused by OCD or my emotional baggage so I really like them.
I have to warn you, if you overdo it with ketamine you will destroy your bladder. Also, take EGCG supplements when you trip because it might reduce the bladder damage (according to a study on rats it worked, no study has been done on humans AFAIK but it might work).
The issue is sitting on a desk instead of a couch for even more of the day. I already had a low tolerance for such game systems (dunno if it’s the ADHD), so now it’s absolutely demolished and I feel you
First full-time employment, and employment in general.
I would love to, but I work in a huge open office so people could see what I was doing instead of pretending to work after my energy reserves have run out
I started playing WoW again (I was clean for 6 years). Surprisingly the game is still fun even if more soulless than its past iterations. The MoP remix event is also really fun, my Nightborne Warlock is completely overpowered now
Eh I would argue that the Cuba episode and the airplane episodes differ on how the subject matter is presented. In the Cuba ep it is played straight, while in the airplane episode Archer is depicted as a racist and is the butt of the joke
Does this get any better? Season one was a fun comedy but the politics were disgusting
CrossCode ZeroRanger Hades Rabbit & Steel
It’s math. You don’t really use the scientific method
Katamari Damacy is very cute game about a tiny prince that ralls up stuff into a ball and pretty much a stress ball in video game form. The soundtrack is great and there is nothing else like it.
It has ZeroRanger which is a 10/10 videogame for cheaper than the Steam price so try that as well
I just finished Ys VIII and Katana Zero.
Ys was very good, even if they upped the anime cringe compared to 2003-2007 Falcom games, it still had the best gameplay loop in the series. Searching for castaways and seeing your village grow in a deserted island while spamming your flashy animu skills and swapping between characters is just so fun.
The bosses are easy and the game allows you to pause and heal similarly to BOTW but I needed to relax this week so it was fitting. The music is also great as well.
Katana Zero is the most cinematic game I have ever played thanks to the great mechanics and level design, with a ton of action movie-like setpieces the one after the other. Too bad it’s unfinished because I was hooked by the story but it’s still worth it.
X4 is really good. If you play buster only and don’t abuse weapon weaknesses, the bosses are some of the best in 2D platformers if that’s your thing
I feel like I have lost my identity after 1year of job-searching and subsequently work. I don’t understand how things came to this point, I feel like all of my personality has crushed by the 9-5. Does everyone feel this hollow or am I that unable to exist
