>>12871173uwu>>12871177beat me to it (also dubs)>>12871175that sounds wonderful
I'm worried, what if it kicks in and I use my focus to get really into World of Warcraft instead of productive things?I wonder how much I'll need to keep fighting to manage my priorities.
fakeass scam disorder
>>12871194Don't worry about anything like this for the first few weeks please, first you need to get used to it and also (re)learn stuff like how to eat and sleep. Now just focus on doing stuff you enjoy without meds too and see how much difference it makes, and then you can go to harder things
>>12871196over-diagnosed but real
>>12871196All disorders are some combination of real and unreal. They are made up of a list of symptoms, ways of thinking, acting, etc. I very much meet all of the criteria for adhd. The label itself is socially constructed, but the way that an adhd person experiences life is observable. If they were a caveman in a tribal society, they would be more suited to some tasks and less suited for others. The problem is that modern society is like a sock that claims to be one size fits all, but clearly isn't. There are many people who just aren't suited to being a wagie, waking up at the same time every day, the bills, the commutes, the wife and the golden retriever.Until this society is destroyed in the glorious burning hellfire of great goddess Eris of chaos and strife, we faulty products in the human assembly line require drugs, the stronger the better.>>12871201I live in the UK where it is extremely under-diagnosed and most people struggle to get help. I was on a waiting list for many years and had to take numerous tests. America sucks in many ways, but you should count yourselves lucky that doctors do not gatekeep disorders and medication as hard. I could have been on adderall decades ago if I was a yank.>>12871200Thanks, I'll try to do that. There's just a lot that I would like to get done. I wanna learn godot, I wanna learn java, I wanna switch my distro from CachyOS to Devuan and get that all set up and working. I want to create agitprop for my homebrewed ideology and create game design documents for a game I probably wont make.
>>12871227forgot my clover
>>12871227I would have gone with Artix, as I prefer arch-based distributions. But both times I installed it on this machine, I had issues with electron refusing to function and after hours of painstakingly troubleshooting with an incompetent AI, I gave up on Artix.Hopefully I'll have more success with Devuan, I'm really wanting to move away from Systemd.I'd go with Freebsd but I'm not sure if everything that I want to use is compatible. It's probably not worth the headache.
>>12871227>There's just a lot that I would like to get done.When I started my meds this was my biggest mistake, I wanted to everything all at once and burned out, also at a point I started taking it more than I was supposed to, that's why I try to warn you, please just be patient, you can and will achieve all of them but only if you take one step at a time, and this current step is just learn your meds and getting used to it I also wish all the best for your plans, now you have all the power to make your dream come through just be careful and mindful
>>12871257thank you anon, I appreciate your words and will try to keep them in mind.
>>12871272also I forgot lol I'm learning to be a game designer, so this interests me, what kind of game do you want to design?
>>12871292In my late teens, I found a game called worlds.com, sometimes called Worlds Online or Worlds Chat. It was essentially a 3D chat client from the 1990s (it was already very old by the time I discovered it). Anyone could create an avatar, make their own room and decorate it. Anyone with a link can visit that room.The graphics were very simple. Most environments were made up of flat surfaces with textures slapped on top, objects such as plants and statues would be 2D sprites that would rotate to face the player, giving the illusion of 3D.I want to create something similar. A 3D chat that will run on any system. No emails, no DRM, no ID-checks, none of the enshitification associated with modern online communication. You set a username and you're ready to go. I also would like for self-hosting to be possible. Maybe even with a system similar to that of the fediverse, where various servers can federate in order to share a game world. But that last part is probably very over-ambitious.
>>12871316Sounds pretty good, and it doesn't even need that much designing other than a map and the mechanics, but even then you just need a city with various activities since players will make their own places. The anonymity part is absolutely awesome and very much needed in todays industryI really like this and honestly don't think it would be that hard, not as hard as lets say, a singleplayer story driven game, you can release it in early access and upgrade it according to players feedback keep us posted
>>12871328Thank you anon. I have a long way to go though. I don't know any programming and have no experience with game development.But I at least have a goal to motivate me to learn. The hardest parts to get working will likely be server related stuff, rather than the game itself.
>>12871336Search up GDC talks, you can learn a lot about developing from there, also there are lots of publicly available game design documents out there, read those too.You don't need to know programming, I learned it for 4 years in school and when I started actually working on my projects it turned out nothing that I know were useful, also since you already want to design and more of an "idea guy" (not in a bad way, every game ever started with an idea guy, the only difference is that some will stuck with ideas while the successful ones are able to go further) it might be better to hire someone who doesn't have ideas or not good ones but can program while you focus on the art and environment and gameplay>The hardest parts to get working will likely be server related stuff100%, also probably its going to cost the most, but at the start you only need a single one for testing, maybe then you can even start gathering money (through patreon for example) Once you go through the initial "i have an idea" phase and start to work out these ideas, draw concept arts, design the gameplay elements/mechanics, etc, you can easily get someone who wants to work on it with you, sometimes even for cheap, but if you want to do everything by yourself then read programming books, most of them even have tasks for you to dobut again, dont try to do everything at once you dont want to burn out, if you just do one thing a day its already a success
>>12871354thanks, this is great advice.I'd never personally go the patreon route, because I don't want others to feel burned if I'm unable to follow deadlines or deliver on promises. I would like to avoid becoming the new Yandere Dev. If I were to develop this thing, development will be quiet and mostly kept out of the public eye. I have a "it's done when it's done" mentality when it comes to creating things, so building hype would not be the smartest thing to do.
>>12871380That's a lot better choice actually, I just wanted to say some option in case you couldn't pay for lessons or programmers but like I said, yt and archive.org is full of great stuff, as for books unfortunately I can't really give exact examples (english obviously isn't my native and ADHD makes it pretty hard for me to learn in foreign) but if you search for them I'm sure you can find some. I hope you will succeed and once I can play your game, good luck on your journey, both with the game and meds!
>>12871394thank you, you're the nicest anon ive talked to in a while.Your english is fine btw. As a brit, I find that foreigners often times have a better grasp on the english language than most people here do.
