if it's symptoms that you feel you've struggled with your whole life but are now struggling especially hard, i'd say it's possible it could be ADHD + depression

for me it's like, i've very rarely been able to get academic assignments done without using the dopamine rush from getting stressed out and sometimes getting panic attacks (unhealthy and unmedicated way to do necessary tasks with ADHD), but when i had a depressive episode i couldn't even bring myself to get stressed out enough to do the stuff i needed to do, and ended up continually taking and failing the one class i needed to continue my degree for two years, doing the bare minimum to stay in college and rack up more debt until i sought help

it's worth talking to a PCP or someone else about it if you suspect it, they'll sometimes have outdated views on what ADHD is, but usually they can give you an overview and whether or not they suspect enough to personally recommend a screening

i'm sorry for your loss comrade, and i'm proud of you for seeking help, you deserve it

me gearing up again to play Journey for the 420th time

the reddit quarantine feels like two years ago tops

probably not the case, but something to consider

the executive dysfunction symptom of ADHD can resemble depression, like if you find yourself wanting to get a school assignment done but not being able to get yourself to do it until the task becomes urgent and stressful could be the task lacking enough dopamine reward (I want to X, but I can't get myself to do X)

this can also directly cause depression: if you feel like you're never able to get yourself to do the things you want/need to do, you can find that you eventually stop trying (I can't ever do X, so why bother)

the main reason i say this is that untreated ADHD can resemble/be co-morbid with depression, and SSRIs can aggravate ADHD symptoms in some people

i think there will only be two Ass Controllers in existence, so we just gotta hope whoever wins one of them gives the official cushy tushy review

photoshopped version of the deadpool/wolverine promo sweepstakes ass controller, unfortunately 😔

It seems like it's almost the exact same system where by the time you hit maps and realize the build you made is absolutely fucking cooked, respeccing is still really expensive and grindy, maybe even more expensive depending on how late game gold scaling will work out vs orbs of regret?

I feel like the campaign is when you least need cheap respecs, since you can pretty decently run through it with almost anything

ehh, it depends on the game.

shit like Elden Ring where you get a bunch of free full respecs to do whatever the fuck you want with, hell yeah I'm gonna do whatever

Path of Exile where if you fuck up the placement of your 123 passive skill points you essentially have to either grind your tush off for 50+ hours or reroll and redo the same 20+ hour boring ass campaign again if you want to do anything meaningful post-campaign, I'm gonna look up a guide

if games respected my time more i'd do it less, but otherwise lol, lmao, even.

this tbqh, i simply just don't play ttrpgs where most of the mechanics are slapping big numbers onto a wargame minigame, can't have minmaxers when there's nothing to minmax
