I had one for a couple years too, back when it was new. I loved it. such good stereo speakers.

You might not need official testing if your doctor is comfortable prescribing meds without it. talk to your doctor and see what they think. based on a discussion of your experience, they may be willing to prescribe you a minimum dose of an ADHD med to see if it helps. it’s not the most scientific way to confirm that you’ve technically got ADHD, but assuming you’re physically healthy, the worst case scenario would be that you have bad side effects, stop taking it, and you’ll have wasted some of your time.

“You can do anything at Zombocom”

laughing a stupid little laugh after I’m done talking. probably comes off as nervous and awkward. I hate it.

I really like Kingdom: Two Crowns on my steam deck.

oh that’s interesting. I was under the impression that a GP wouldn’t prescribe simulant meds without sending me to a psychiatrist first. I’ll have to talk to my GP about it then. I haven’t discussed it with her since I came off atomoxetine.

I don’t mean to be an aggressive anti-capitalist (but I’m gonna), but the suggestion that the solution to “dopamine addiction” is to “throw yourself into your work” makes me extremely suspicious.

there are some print-on-demand card and game manufacturers that might be less expensive than you think. I’m a hobbyist game designer and I’ve used thegamecrafter.comthegamecrafter.com as well as makeplayingcards.com to have custom cards printed, and it wasn’t particularly costly.

but if those services do charge more than you want to spend, the thing I recommend most strongly is that whatever stock you decide to print on, cut them with one of those sliding-blade paper cutters. don’t try to cut them with scissors. they’ll come out a lot more even.
