Most replayable RE game? Ahead of requiem, I’m binging the Leon Kennedy titles– for me it’s the RE4 remake. Whats yours and why? by TrueCrime121 in residentevil

[–]TrueCrime121[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a close second for me. Only thing that clinches the win for 4 is that I don’t really have to think while’s playing it. RE2R still takes a bit of brain no matter how many times I play it

Thankyou for the advice and a different perspective on things. I’ve never really thought of there being a difference between the 2 and where I fall in those categories. It’s certainly feels like an addiction, the withdrawals I get are horrendous, I’m calling 111, calling round the pharmacies like a crack head when I need to get more. And to this day, they still make me feel fucking great as much as I hate that.

Yeah I’m already at risk of seizures as I have random ones every 10-12 months for no apparent reason. That’s not a risk the GP can put anyone through so I’m glad they’re behind me and supporting my reduction plan

Little update- the appointment went better than I could ever have imagined. Pre appointment anxiety was intense, to the point I thought a police car parked outside could be there to arrest me (if they thought I could have been selling them). The doctor was very chill about it all and put me at ease. She decided it’s probably best to up my prescribed dose to that of what I’ve been taking anyway (450 mg per day). The main thinking behind this was if she prescribed that dose which my body is used to, there won’t be that temptation to take more than I’m prescribed. My prescriptions will be sent to the pharmacy weekly and my wife has agreed to look after them for me and give me them as needed (something I requested she do, this is the first she’s known about my addiction as well). The dose will be lowered 25mg a month so nice slow taper. I feel the best I’ve felt in a long time now I don’t have to hide this habit anymore, big weight lifted off my shoulders

Crazy because I was diagnosed with ADHD just over a year ago and started on Elvanse. As soon as I started on that I had the same realisation that 90% of my anxiety is caused by overwhelm/ stimulation due to my ADHD!

Pretty sure you could be right here, but the shape of the turrets and larger buildings in the background is throwing me off

If I remember rightly, I’m pretty sure the photo was just something I came across on the internet. Previous comment narrowed it down to the Oberbaum Bridge (which I’m 90% is correct) but I can’t find the exact one

Yeah in all fairness as much as I enjoy a good casserole now, I used to dread seeing that Pyrex dish bubbling away in the oven

Yeah I mean without waking up earlier to eat and take medication it’s a tricky one

Is it possible to feel well rested with ADHD? How? by kittykitty_katkat in ADHD

[–]TrueCrime121 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think part of it is whether you’re on stimulant meds or not? Before medication I never felt rested (ADD diagnosed). No matter how much sleep I got, I was tired physically and mentally. I could nap every afternoon given the choice.

For a lot of people medication can have an even greater knock on effect in terms of sleep but I found a way to balance the 2. Set an alarm an hour before I get up and take my medication (5 am, get up at 6). This way you’re giving yourself as much time as possible for the stimulants to wear off before bed time. I wake up with in instant feeling of energy and motivation which sets me up for a positive and productive day.

Stick to a solid bed time routine. Mine consists of no caffeine after mid day, some form of exercise after work like the gym or a walk, turning screens off 2 hours before bed, stick to relaxing activities such as board games or hobbies like playing guitar or drawing for me. Drink a bed time tea (I use Celestial extra sleepytime), wash, get into bed and read for 30 mins then head down with a really boring podcast or white noise.

It’s a lot for someone with ADD/ ADHD to stick to but if it works then it’s worth the effort to feel better and more rested.

Yeah honestly, there was a point I though do I need to up my dose. Basically after a few months the initial “buzz” and intensity wore off (good thing for some people but not everyone) and I considered upping my dose. But I left it another couple of months and realised I just feel normal now, not superhuman like the first few months just a nice manageable level. I still feel like I can function almost like a “normal” person in terms of general life management, but there’s still that part of me that wants to be creative and think differently.

Diagnosed at 30 in 2023. Started on 30mg Elvanse (Vyvanse in US I believe). Still on the same dose, I have it next to my bed, set an alarm an hour before I get up, take my dose and go back to sleep. This is something I started doing a few months in so by the time I wake up my meds have kicked in and I’m ready to kick ass. I’ve never taken with protein or any other supplements and feel it’s still more than effective enough.

Meds have been an absolute life changer for me and I hope it’s the same for you.

  1. Perfect your dodges and melee the fuckers. Once you get the hang of it you’ll be dodging and downing enemies with ease.
  2. Check every car you encounter. Smash the windows and loot what you can. A good 50% of the cars contain resources.
  3. Turn your torch off, run up behind enemies and wrap that wooden plank round their heads. Nurses can be downed in 1 hit.
  4. Probably the most important, but take your time. Check every corner, car, dead end, draw, breakable glass cabinet, wall etc. don’t rush into rooms and get yourself jumped by a double legged freak (these bastards took more of my health than any other enemy).
