I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What do you like most about 2023's repertoire of video games?

    My newly diagnosed ADHD has been kicking my ass recently so I haven't gotten around to setting up my PC after moving so I've only been playing switch.

    That said, I've been going back and forth between Red Dead Redemption and the Super Mario RPG remake and I've been loving both. I immediately bounced off RDR2 finding the controls very clunky and slow, but I've loved my first play through of RDR1 so far and the Super Mario RPG remake is probably one of the best RPG remakes of all time.

    I've also been playing the only good mobile idle game, Super Snail.

      Definitely get ADHD medication like Vyvanse or whatever now that you're newly diagnosed.

      I also couldn't play video games until I got my ADHD meds (and I especially had trouble doing anything else besides playing video games).

      Also, on another note, I really should get into "idle games" sometime.

        I have to work my way through Kaiser's system before they'll actually get me medication, but it's actually moving way quicker than I expected. Getting back into therapy for the first time in like 8 years should also help.

        On the idle games front, I can't recommended Super Snail enough. The tutorial is frustratingly long but once you get through it, it has a really satisfying loop and you do feel like you're making progress every day. There are no forced ads and I've never felt pushed to buy any of the micro transactions to keep progressing.
