Huh. I’ll check it out, their series on pasta was really good.

I’ll check it out, I had it bad this weekend.

This was the one that made me think, oh, I might have ADHD!

Huh, I’ve always been a tea drinker rather than coffee, and I’ve always found tea more calming that coffee or caffeinated sodas. This could be why.

It could also help explain why my mother, who I’ve suspected for a while was undiagnosed, favored tea over coffee all her life and really went off the rails once she developed a caffeine allergy and stopped drinking it.

If I know long long it takes to get somewhere, I will somehow find myself leaving the house with exactly that amount of time, leaving no space for delays. This is bad. So instead I’ve started saying “I’m going to leave at this time, which is definitely more time than I need” and then not looking at a clock when I get there so I never find out how much closer I could cut it.

The other strategy is to plan to eat when I get there, before whatever it is starts. I will be motivated to get there with enough time to eat.

I am very much into this kind of stuff.

take a nap, me

I’ve had chronic intermittent tinnitus my whole life, can’t really say it helps me concentrate when it’s flaring up.

Edit: I went looking for samples of pink and brown noise, and the brown sample I found claims to help relieve tinnitus. Since my flare-ups are sometimes accompanied by headaches or vertigo, I’ll check it out and see if it helps me at all.

What about New Wave?

In a familiar situation (at work, getting my kids ready for school) I just look around for all the things I can see need doing and do whatever is highest priority.

In an unfamiliar situation (eg. trying to schedule back-to-school checkups) I flounder. I still look around for all the things I can see need doing, but;

• I don’t always know what needs doing

• I don’t always know how to do it

• I tend to do not the highest-priority task but the one with the lowest cost / barrier-to-entry

• I will be fighting my anxiety, related to the first two points, the whole time

I have found no software solution, premade or coded by myself personally, that beats a pen & paper bullet journal.

I recently tried one that boasted about how it used AI to help organize your tasks, but it didn’t and couldn’t do the one thing I needed it to, which is automatically populate a daily to-do list with suggested tasks.

I’m a waitress. A lot of bartenders and waitresses have ADHD or are undiagnosed but share symptoms.

Previously I’ve been a teacher and worked in childcare.

I have a Switch, which has hundreds of games and great couch coöp. I can’t speak to most of the other concerns except creativity, and to that I say: Any platform open to indie devs is one that won’t suffer from lack of creativity. You’ll have to deal with Sturgeon’s Law, but that was always true.

I have fond memories of playing it, but I never beat it and never even really understood how to beat it.

Have you ever played Sweet Home for the NES? It’s like Luigi’s mansion crossed with Final Fantasy themed after a Japanese horror movie.

Try Stranded Sails. It’s a tight little adventure game.

Damn straight!

Three questions:

Can I play it in front of my kids?

What’s the minimum play session? (That is, how long from startup to the next save point?)

Is it a lot like Mass Effect?

As someone who’s never played, which ones the good one?
