ADHD gaming
-
I do this thing, where I'll play a game for 2-5 minutes and then I'll stop again.
You can bet your ass that I only play games that load and close almost instantly. Well, and basically only games that I'm already familiar with.

This exact thing happened 3 times in a row to me yesterday
-
I hate it and how much joy it saps out of my life
-
I go through that but I stay in the menu tweaking the settings until it's perfect. Then I start the game mess with the settings again only to lose interest in actually playing it.
I’ve done that a lot with mods.. get the mods I want set up and then realize I don’t actually want to play..

I'm interested in playing. I am just so fucking exhausted from all my jobs and the loading screen is where I go through all the stages of grief until I accept i am to tired to do the one thing that brings me joy in life.
Then I go to bed and my daily torture session begin anew.

Total War Warhammer 3 would like a moment of your life.
At least they added the rematch feature at the end of a battle. I often find myself stuck on a particularly hard fight for many attempts till I get it right.

Brain hack: Go stare at a wall for 5-10 minutes and try again, repeat until the game/activity seems fun. Your brain will start to crave any stimulation when faced with unbearable boredom.
Note: This may cause emotions you were suppressing to surface in the absence of stimulation, which will likely be uncomfortable, but also might be the reason you were struggling to enjoy things in the first place.
Why not just take a walk outside instead of bending over backwards to enjoy computer?

Looks like you could use an NVMe SSD, so loads don't take 2 minutes.
Even a SATA SSD is gonna cut that down almost as much as an MVMe! I have both types in my machines and basically… as long as it’s not a hard drive hahaha

I mostly play on the Xbox, not very often. so when I do, it's the update game. I play update for a few minutes, get bored then go do something else. By the time I finish there's no more time to play and I forget until a couple months when I only get to play update again.
Update game
"Oh hey, the console doesn't need to update this time! And this 5-year old game is the one I just updated last month, and there hasn't been any news or anything about the game."
needs to update
"Wow, these minor bug fixes are (probably) amazing.
Especially when it's 300MB!" -
If I'm lucky I can find something new to hyperfixate on to get me out of a rut. Old stuff doesn't do it for me. Discovered my favorite genre this way actually.
Discovered your favorite genre, for now

Decent speed storage and hardware to match, remove all splash screen bullshit and loading vids etc, kill any other pre menu misc they might have, and yeah ... ???

Its 4am and its dark out there

This is me, except for spending an hour getting the thing running properly and graphics settings tweaked properly just to play 10 minutes and never touch it again. Sometimes I wonder if I actually just enjoy configuring games.

whenever i find a game that i actually want to keep playing i give a quick prayer to the gods, thanking them for their mercy
go figure that game was The Long Dark this time, only thing more violently autistic than a realistic canadian survival game would be a railway planning ga- sigh
