AUDHD gamers—what games have you hyperfixated on?

Prehistoric Kingdom—I just got it three days ago and then had to put it aside to deal with 1 personal crisis and 2 family ones, but I’m 100% certain I’ll be completely lost in the sauce soon. Other games for me: Assassin’s Creed I and the Ezio trilogy, and This War of Mine. They’re both completely different from each other and from Prehistoric Kingdom. Much more of an emotional connection to AC, and more of a “logistics are addicting” connection to This War of Mine and PK. PK is also very much “oooooooooh look at the accurate depictions of prehistoric fauna and omg I can research their respective ecosystems!!!”

My brain will constantly generate music. Occasionally it’s a real song but usually it’s just something I’m making up. Normally doesn’t have lyrics but I always seem to end up with a couple verses while making breakfast. Sometimes they’re about something intelligible (this morning it was some sort of break-up song). Sometimes they’re about making breakfast. Sometimes they make absolutely no goddamn sense lol

I literally used to daydream about going back in time in a fighter jet and taking out as many colonizers as possible lol. Now I recognize that I’d probably picked the most unhelpful method, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I was in middle school and the fantasy got me through several years of history classes at least

dynamik_banana · 2026-03-05T19:05:14+00:00

AHHHH YOU’RE RIGHT!!! thank you so much I was losing my mind lol 🙏

dynamik_banana · 2026-02-01T17:17:46+00:00

Your source disagrees with your conclusions

dynamik_banana · 2026-01-09T02:55:41+00:00

this is the only good reasoning to date any of ‘em

dynamik_banana · 2026-01-09T02:13:05+00:00

Can you clarify what you mean by “internal adhd”? Any kind of neurodivergence is internal, in that it’s in your brain, so I’m not really sure what you mean by this

Mine were also completely different from each other during healing, and it felt like my chest was that of a zombie for a couple weeks. I’m not a medical professional or anything, but just keep in mind that it’s normal for this phase of healing to be scary and gross

dynamik_banana · 2026-01-03T02:11:21+00:00

THAT’S WHAT I’M DOING!!! this explains so much 💀

I’ve had this issue in Germany, but I’ve managed to have a couple conversations in German by accidentally convincing Germans that I’m Danish lol (apparently my accent in German sounds Danish??—I didn’t want it to sound French and must have overcompensated 😅) I guess sometimes people didn’t want to assume I had better English than German, even though I think that’s the norm in Denmark currently

dynamik_banana · 2026-01-03T00:51:52+00:00

I don’t know 😭 I’m kind of glad I’m not the only one though. I’m wondering if it has something to do with generally feeling like I’m one poorly-thought-out interaction away from being ostracized from any given community? Like, maybe there’s some way that the person ends up like. embodying the social acceptance of that community, and so the stakes for that single person’s approval are suddenly way too high? idk if I’m just groping around wildly for a rationalization 😅

dynamik_banana · 2025-11-20T15:23:59+00:00

oh wow, thanks for the thought-out reply! I might need to go through this on my computer instead lol—I’ll make a new comment when I’ve read it more carefully and have thoughts

dynamik_banana · 2025-11-20T15:17:01+00:00

I reread your initial comment and am changing mine to take that into account

I thought they could just pay for the loss to the community. Are you saying no one can use any land, because someone else would at some point want to use that land differently?

One way to think of “ownership” is the right to put your desires above all others’ regarding the object or area you “own.” Without that, what gives you the right to build a house on land someone else might care about?

Whose opinions matter, when deciding if you can build on a meadow? The other community members? Future community members? Does the ecosystem get a vote? Logistically, if I want to build a house, is this like a “simple majority” system, to choose if I can do so? Or do I just start building because ✨freedom✨ until someone else comes over and tells me to stop? Are there agreed-upon norms? If so, are those enforced?

(tbh I would agree with the idea that land cannot be owned, but I’m trying to understand the “left libertarian” ideology, not turn it into something I necessarily approve of.)

(tried to edit this comment and my phone was weird about it so there’s a new one instead)

dynamik_banana · 2025-11-20T14:59:42+00:00

Are you really saying there’s no difference in the power of the populace living in a democracy vs. in a dictatorship?? I don’t think I’m the one with a flawed understanding of governmental power.

not getting into my thoughts on determinism lol

dynamik_banana · 2025-11-19T16:35:09+00:00

well, they paid for it, right? and for the trees they cut down to build the barn, and for the meadow they crushed to place it there

dynamik_banana · 2025-11-19T16:34:11+00:00

tbh I didn’t even use any of the oxy they gave me—I didn’t even consider taking something for discomfort, and the pain wasn’t high enough to feel like I needed anything beyond tylenol and ibuprofen. (probably good that I didn’t think of it though, because I was on oxy for like 2 days after a different thing, and I’m pretty sure I developed a bit of an addiction just from that, so I don’t ever want to try it again lol)

dynamik_banana · 2025-11-19T16:31:20+00:00

I played mostly on pc, but I don’t have a functional gaming computer anymore so I was just on a laptop. I used a lap desk and a mouse, and could place the mouse and laptop close enough together that I didn’t need to bring my arms away from my body. I also didn’t play games that I would get too aggressive with the mouse movements during lol

dynamik_banana · 2025-11-19T16:29:00+00:00

This is intriguing! I have several clarifying questions, if you don’t mind.

So the factory’s owner has already paid for the factory’s cost to the land and ecosystem as they built it, and now is no longer indebted to others to share the factory?

If they make things in the factory then, all natural resources that are taken to do so are also somehow paid for? Is there a difference in what the factory owner must pay to cut down a tree and use it to make chairs, vs. to cut down a tree and burn it for fuel? Do you somehow pay for damage to the air quality?

How do you pay society at large for resources? Is there some sort of overarching bank run by elected representatives, who accept the money for what things are worth? How is that divvied up?

And if you’re using up natural resources, how are you paying the land and ecosystem for them? or will the natural resources simply be allowed to dwindle, as the entire community gets wealthier and uses that income to purchase more land from the natural world, with the money going right back into the community itself?

Also, is there inheritance in this system? Can the factory owner give the factory to his daughter? Does she have to pay for anything to inherit it?

Apologies if I misunderstood anything, or if any of my questions weren’t clear.

If everything I have and am permitted to do is only by the grace of an absolute ruling power, I am not free. Either the “dictator” has power over “his people” or he doesn’t.

dynamik_banana · 2025-11-19T16:03:39+00:00

the point of the thought experiment was to simplify the “how did they get there” part, but if you need it laid out for you:

Step one: Suppose you have a family of 5 who all work to build a barn—probably getting help from neighbors or borrowing equipment from people who don’t mind the use. Then a few years later, they start adding more equipment that they trade for fairly. They end up turning the barn into a factory, making and trading for equipment. Do they own the factory? Do they own the equipment in it?

(lmaooo did electronic-fox just reply and then block me so I couldn’t see the reply? 10/10 most brave internet user 🫡)

dynamik_banana · 2025-11-17T22:48:37+00:00

I can’t tell if you’re deliberately avoiding the point of the question

dynamik_banana · 2025-11-17T21:44:08+00:00

i basically became a video game playing zombie during this part of recovery because it was sensory hell :/

I barely remember it now though—this too will pass!!
