That last one hit best.
I'll constantly make entire spreadsheets to analyze the most random things, and then I get annoyed when my wife doesn't want to hear the summary and conclusion.
I used to play this game called RAGE many years ago. It was a first person shooter, with a bunch of late game overpowered guns, had a crafting system to make ammo and the like, shops to sell and buy said ammo, but had strict resource controls to keep it competitive and fun.
So I spent around four days tabulating values of every ammo and crafting material in the game, mapping out which in-game traders sold what and when, and then spent maybe the next three days just craft-selling the cheapest item, a wingstick(basically a boomerang) in the game.
Hundreds and hundreds of wingsticks, grinding like a little kid in a sweatshop. I made enough money to max. out capacity on every ammo capacity in the game. As a result I breezed through the endgame, and what was supposed to be a long, tough, engaging mission into the heart of the enemy turned into a caricature of a boss fight, and I probably spend more time admiring the environment design there than worrying about dying or running out of ammo. I think I ran out only on one ammo type, and in total I used only the three most powerful ammo types in the game.
A level I should have enjoyed and formed the neat little bow for that game to be wrapped in, turned into a comical doom guy-esque slaughter of the scariest enemy in-game.
I am truly my own worst enemy.
It's like that saying goes. "Players will optimize the fun out of a game." Game studios spend many, many man hours on just this one aspect of development. It's the reason Skyrim's systems were fewer and simpler than Oblivion and Morrowind. I believe Todd Howard himself said they were trying to get away from all the spreadsheet inducing aspects of their games.
If it's any consolation, the last mission is generally considered to be the weakest part of the game.
Not a programmer.
I spent the odd hour a day for a year and half, googling VBA to make a multi-page report with pictures and such generate automatically after the import of a CSV file.
All so I could do 30 reports I was secretly backlogged on that would have taken me about 3 days to do manually.After getting into Linux I decided I should learn programming too in case it's useful and I've been trying to slap together little programs for doing things like logging the weights of my tree frogs or data scraping image hosting sites. Coding is actually pretty fun for the ADD brain. Lots and lots of problem solving, a system to figure out, autism brain logic stuff, it's great.
You guys keep coins in your wallet??? That seems like it would be terribly uncomfortable
My wallet has a lil coin zipper pouch thing
My wallet is completely zipperable! Zippers for ever! Bow to the zipper gods!
You guys have money?
Not all wallets are billfolds.
I havent used coins regularly for a decade.
I don't carry coins very often myself
You guys use a wallet?
Caffeine and I have a very strange relationship. Sometimes, it keeps me alert. Sometimes, it makes me crash within an hour of consuming it. I thought I didn't have ADHD for the longest time because I was told of I did have it, caffeine would make me sleepy.
For me, it seems to have no effects. I've been known to down mugs full of coffee and still manage to fall asleep. (It gets the bowels running, though)
I've found constantly slamming energy drinks throughout the day to be a semi effective way of getting through work.
For me it's music and pomodori
I'm not sure what the 'less sleep/mild cold' one is trying to say but it did make me realize something about myself. When I'm sick, but not super sick, I do find it very peaceful. It makes me okay with laying on the couch watching stuff all day long whereas if I were healthy I'd feel anxious about wasting my time.
I think that might be what it's trying to say except for the fact that that is NOT the case when I'm running low on sleep.
I have a similar experience when I'm sick. I usually feel more calm and it seems easier to cook or read.
Same for me, my internal (probably wrong) explanation for this has been that it's quite similar to having something going on (in this case, the recovery from sickness) so that it's a bit easier for the brain to not actively worry and be useless.
I don't know if what I wrote makes sense, I'm not sick right now
I have that coin from the year where my sister was born
No one can have it
Maybe her child if he ask politely
Why don’t energy drinks work for us???
For the same reason Adderall let's us focus, while it makes everyone else jittery.
Chemicals are weird. Thanks a lot, brain.
I don't know if I have ADD, but amphetamines definitely help me focus when the dosage is medical and the intent is not recreational. I haven't heard of anyone not being more productive if they pop 10mg of D-amph at work. People get jittery when they do lines of speed in a rave.
Caffeine and AD(H)D seem to have all kinds of funky relationships/cross effects
I don't know. When I was younger, caffeine made me sleepy. Nowadays, it makes me focus.
It's great to finish activities, but I cannot take it frequently as it affects my mood if I do so (bipolar disorder). It's only my emergency focus 🪄.
Caffeine addiction can also cause needing caffeine to sleep. Like, a very high amount of caffeine addiction. (Source: a phase where I needed caffeine to go to sleep.) Right up there with the caffeine withdrawal shakes.
One can additionally have ADHD.
If all the column B's describe me, is this meme a diagnosable test of ADD?
I didn't phrase that right but you know what I mean.
Yes, if column b fits you don't need to see a psychiatrist, you can just go straight to the pharmacy and pick up your 72mg extended release methylphenidate. /s
😄
Currently prepping for a nap by finishing my second cup of coffee.
I have the worst of both world
literally me
I partly see myself in this meme and I don't like it.
I do indeed remember a couple of dreams from when I was a very young child, didn't realise it was an adhd thing. At least caffeine works properly for me though.
I love this.
I hate you got me spot on!
Usually it's a handle issue
I actually use monsters as a sleep aid.
I don't have ADHD but apply your "ADHD column" attributes to myself.
Poor meme
You should get tested for ADHD. Again if you already have been.
