well said! I should check out Enshrouded. I just bought Factorio after finally learning it never goes on sale, lol. and then immediately got lost in two other gangs, now doing a fourth Stardew Valley playthru
also fyi there's no hyperfocus type of ADHD; that's just a broad effect of executive dysfunction
I always try to buy games on sale, so I've been avoiding Factorio on principle. Their developers refuse to lower the price because they feel there no point in setting a price for a game, then discounting it every once in a while to draw in new players. They believe it's a $30 game, so they want everyone to pay $30 to play it, period.
Fortunately, I won a Steam key for it in a raffle, so I got it for free. And I'm glad, because I don't feel it's worth even $30. It's not a bad game, but I personally would've paid $10-15 max for it.
True, but explaining the nuances of ADHD in a thread that's not specifically focused on it is complicated. Especially since we're still trying to define the vague differences between ADHD, autism, ADD, and a few other cognitive disorders. Some things are merging under umbrella terms (e.g. ADD doesn't really exist anymore; it's now a form of ADHD) and other distinctions are getting blurry, with too many cross-over symptoms to clearly define. Much easier to just point out that one of my greater symptoms of ADHD is hyperfocus.
