Me but with a half hour setup for a solo boardgame 😭
I can never play solo boardgames tbh. If I am going to play something solo, I can play something more complex on the PC. In fact, many of the most popular BGs have very good apps for themselves too. And if one wants to play something specifically boardgamey, things like Slay the Spire exist.
I ask because my son, near 12 years of age, has ADHD and ODD. Videogames have historically been a massive issue with him, and today doesn’t play them. He does however love board games. However being he is a only child, he will play Chess/Clue/Yahtzee against himself often. I play when I can but I’m not always able to. He doesn’t like drawing, painting or writing, so I lean into board games.
I’ve found a few solo board games, but nothing good
Was hoping to hear what else might be out there that people find enjoyable, as his birthday is soon.
I’ll look up what Slay the Spire is
Also monster train 2,just came out.
For solo boardgames, it really depends on its age, but if old enough to play complex ones, there’s some ones with almost infinite replayability. Spirit island, Dune Imperium, mage Knight, voidfall.
Im interested in knowing what solo boardgames you like?
I usually only get this when I’m overworked, a few days of staring at a wall usually fixes it until the next overtime wave.
i mean, it’s true, but why?
I need someone to explain it to me.
Fucking hate it when this happens
happened to me 3 times in a row two days ago
Thank you lol I post enough here, I didn’t wanna crosspost one that I made elsewhere immediately after making one before it
I was wondering why you posted it in general gaming and not here :)
It’s not a big deal to crosspost immediately. It’s not like I don’t know you’re a meme addict :D
Still lol I like to spread the love around. After leaving Risa and the psychopaths running Startrek.website I like throwing shit basically everywhere and saying “Have fun” lol
Or, like last night, making a dumbass meme about sending me pizza and then openly rejecting pizza offers.
I need sleep.
It’s so hard to finish long ass games…
…it didn’t used to be. It used to be fun. Can I please have that back? Please…? Please…
I don’t have ADHD but it happens to me sometimes. Because all of these lengthy updates, shader caching, loading of game loader, loading of game, etc. By the time a game fully loads I need to go to bed.
I quit playing the Sims 4, I am simply, a builder. I would go on a month binge, then not play for 6months. Sometimes I’d play once a month-
But having to fix my mods every single time I booted was so much. I never had issue finding what was broken, it was just so time consuming. Then after two hours the game would be ready to play, and … I would be instantly bored, forgot my house plan to the mind vortex, all energy spent, ugh. That game is seriously dead.
I was beyond excited to move from xbox to pc with that game. amazing how it took no time at all for me to hate it.
I also play PvE Rust, it takes like a half hour to load in, and i get a whopping 33FPS. Love that game so much, 20-30mins loading time is fine if I dont have to fix mods like a sleuth every fuckin time I want to play. Just walk slowly so the graphics can load in lmao
I still load into Rust and immediately just, log off often. Hyperfocus just isnt there sometimes. Thats when I load N (it’s free and fun!) and play short levels.
I think you’d like satisfactory! It loads pretty quick too somehow.
I played Roller Coaster Tycoon from 1999 recently. That was the exact opposite, and so refreshing. Its an efficient game, which I think it had to be to run well back then with the simulation of 1000 individual guests and the whole park on a Pentium 90 with 16 MB of RAM.
I don’t remember how it was back then, but now playing it on a modern computer, it just loads instantly. When I noticed how truly instant it was, I was so surprised that I just switched back and forth between loading two saves for a bit :-)
It was written by one dude in assembly
Yeah I know. Chris Sawyer. If I recall correctly he said he had to use a little bit of C in addition to mostly assembly to interface with the Windows APIs 😄
What does he use to lift up his massive brain?
YES!
I finished downloading almost 40GB of Call of Duty Mobile over mobile data on February 21st. I still haven’t played it, and now it needs updates installed for sure.
Yeah, quite a big phone game.deleted by creator
If a game takes 2 minutes to come to the menu, yes then i do lose interest in the game, not because of ADHD, but because i recognize it’s inefficiently coded and probably will hang and lag like crazy later on.
Game: optimizing shaders, please wait
Me: looks at phone
Game: loads into main menu
Me: jams to the main menu music while scrolling for 45 mins
Me: Nah I don’t wanna play anymore
I remember back in the days of the Commodore 64, games still took 2-3 minutes to load.
Prince of Persia on 2x 5.25 floppies needed about 8 floppy changes to load
5.25 floppy. That’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time… They called me that in elementary.
Is it ADHD or is it depression 🤔
Yes
This is the ADHD memes community.
It gets very frustrating when people comment on every meme suggesting that this feeling might be caused by something else. ADHD unfortunately has to fight pretty powerfully to occupy a space for just ADHD.
Hey that’s my line D:
Well both for some of us, but it’s probably also the fact that you have no energy in your reserves to do your hobbies when everything is so fucking shite everywhere. Can’t pay bills, tons of stress, videogames are now revenue generating devices instead of genuine entertainment, and social media on your phone delivers the same dopamine hits with much less effort. Your brain knows this so it makes it harder to work to play if that makes sense.
Get a Steam Deck, and you can press the power button whenever you want to stop playing and it puts the system on standby. Press it again and it powers on in a couple seconds right where you left it.
I don’t really play anymore but occasionally I get the desire to play some Gran Turismo. The last three or four times I’ve had that urge, both the console and the game required rather large updates. Half an hour later, still not done updating… desire to play gone with the wind. Rinse and repeat 3 months later.
