    Either this or laser-focusing on a new game with a fresh, complicated system to manage & tweak during play for similar multi-stim results… 😅🤷🏼‍♂️

        Currently? I’m on my 2nd run of Veil of the Witch, just installed Path of Giants yesterday, and relit my Duolingo flame a few weeks back, to name a few. (Yes, I’m that one who waits until the 11th hr before the weekly rank up closes and absolutelyfuckingsmashes 1k points in a sitting to take first place. 🤷🏼‍♂️ It’s not personal, I’m simply brutalizing the system for dopamine)

        FWIW, in a pinch I’ve been known to cobble together a semblance of distractionary paths like personal Pac-Man dots with games like Townsfolk, Unciv, Stellaris, FTL, Into The Breach, etc.

        Some of my beloved standbys are RDR (all), DRG, Horizon (both), and if I’m allowing myself a VR dive (who needs “actual” reality anyhow?!), it’ll be in Skyrim (modded AF), NMS, or Elite Dangerous (once you go full A-10 replica HOTAS IRL for your Allblack Mur-der-Lance, you’re a lifer. It is known.)

      Nobody can. Thoughts occuring isn’t ADHD thing - it’s a human thing. Even Buddha had thoughts.

        I’ve asked several people if their brain is ever quiet and all have said yes. My brain has never has never been quiet unless I was blackout drunk or something similar

          That’s self-reporting, which is notoriously unreliable. It’s not that people are lying - they just don’t know. Most people are thinking without realizing they’re thinking. They couldn’t stop their thoughts for ten seconds even if their life depended on it. It becomes painfully obvious once you start meditating - actually paying attention to what the brain and body are doing moment to moment.

            I don’t think I expressed myself well in my initial comment. I’m saying that I have a stream of consciousness that never shuts the fuck up. If you’re telling me that all humans have that same issue and aren’t able to tell, I’m going to have to strongly disagree.

              Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying - but at the same time, I recognize that I only have access to my own stream of consciousness. I couldn’t possibly know for certain what someone else’s subjective experience is like - and neither can you.

                They didn’t deny people’s brains produce thoughts all the time. The point is being painfully aware of them, having so many/with such intensity you don’t recall any “quiet” moments. Each person’s subjective experience is the point. Other people can experience more calm and silence, and it’s accurate as their personal experience. The fact they can’t tell that they have a constant stream of consciousness going on is the point.

                  I’ve been perfectly respectful this whole time. Insulting me personally and calling me a bullshitter just because you disagree is completely uncalled for. There’s enough mean people on social media already - I wish you wouldn’t contribute to that.

      Hmm… quick math scribbles …That’s like 23 rabbit holes in 42 different directions —every second.
