I really wish the ttrpg.network munis were more consolidated in general. It seems like the ubiquity of lemmy.world has made it hard for other instances to carve out a niche

Yeah, you could make it the “traditional/tabletop games” thread, in the spirit of the divide between eg. /tg/ and /v/ on ye olde 4chan


No. But I’d comment with some of said communities in the gaming thread


Maybe broaden “video games” to just “games” to let the board gamers, TTRPG-ers, and CCG-ers post about their stuff as well. Right now I feel like those don’t have a great bucket in the categories there.


I recently had to stop taking my vyvanse due to some bad side effects and holy shit I forgot how bad this was

FYI you are probably also dealing with withdrawal in addition to being unmedicated. Getting off of meds after having been on them is a very different experience from never having been medicated.


Really big and complex games like Rimworld and the Paradox or Hooded Horse games can really suck me in.


caused a massive outburst of productivity

Coffee is a stimulant and can therefore provide a similar effect to actual ADHD meds like Adderall and Ritalin. You may have been unknowingly self-medicating.



Right, but subscribing to a community doesn’t obligate you to post there.


What do you mean spread yourself? If a community doesn’t have activity, there’s nothing to see from it. If you’re subscribed, it’s just more stuff on your feed.



I like the idea of TTRPG AARs. But honestly, reading about one person’s solo games doesn’t sound that fun to me. But more power to ya. Hopefully you get something out of sharing these stories.


Did you create it using a different account? This one doesn’t say it’s the moderator of any munis, and you don’t have any posts in your history on such a muni.


Thank Christ! Does this mean you’ll stop posting to /comics?

I wish you luck with your weird obsession.


At this point I just forgive myself for losing interest in really long games, and don’t enter into games with any expectation that I’ll finish them unless they’re a very compact experience. My two recent favourites that I actually finished are Duck Detective and Minami Lane, both only a couple of hours.


Yup. And then when I’m off the clock, I feel guilty about all the work I procrastinated during the workday, feeling amped up to tackle my assigned work the next day. Then the cycle repeats. Brain can’t enjoy the thing right in front of it.


Ah, okay. I wasn’t aware.


Do pharmacies not order things when they’re out? I always call my prescriptions in advance and the pharmacy makes sure they have enough and then calls me back a few days later. Is that not how it works where you are?


The doctor will prefer to give you not enough at first and then steadily increase the dose until it starts to help. I think Ritalin is the same stuff as Concerta, and for a while I was on 54mg of that. Nowadays I’m mostly down to 27mg daily, but on days where I know my attention will be taxed heavily, I can take 2 and go back up to 54, since I know I can handle it.


That’s true. It usually alternates in the winter and summer.


Man that wouldn’t be very interesting for me since I eat the same breakfast every day and the same lunch most days too


There are many better words you could use. Insular, isolationist, xenophobic. Not to mention that I’ve never once heard Japan’s culture described as “autistic”


No one said anything about a stronger high

“T break” (short for tolerance break) is a term used by people who take recreational drugs to describe abstaining for some time in order to lessen tolerance and get a stronger high from a lower dosage afterward.


That’s not what autistic means…


Don’t forget that their porn is blurry. Such a travesty.



Oh shit. Guess I’m allowed in Japan after all.


Apparently Vyvanse is the only one that’s allowed. Sounds like regulatory capture to me.


This isn’t a recreational drug where we need to take “T breaks” in order to have a stronger high when we start it again. It’s a prescription drug that has a prescribed daily dosage. Going off it has serious consequences. I skipped a week once years ago when I was at my family cottage and forgot my meds. By the end of that week I was so deeply depressed and lethargic I had no motivation to do anything. So yeah, the dependency is real, but the withdrawal symptoms are no joke either.


OP, don’t hate the ADHD. Hate the Japanese law. That is a stupid law.


Just Adderall? Or all ADHD meds?




There are lots of different ND things out there. Just because you didn’t get the diagnosis you expected doesn’t mean you don’t have something





Is that to say that there are skill checks in the dialogue options?
