My go to activities are:
Getting out on nature, running water is a big plus, hiking, kayaking, etc.
Board/party games have improved a ton over the last 20 years. Some simple fun games that take a minute or less to teach: telestrations, just one, banagrams
D&D or other role playing, this is a really easy way to engage in social interaction that is lower pressure (at least for me) and fun.
That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t regulate predatory practices. Many video games are built on social media and gambling models designed with intentionally addictive features. In not talking about fun features, I’m talking about addictive features. There are panels at game designer conferences you can listen to about this stuff.
Disco Elysium is the game that instantly came to mind. Basically all story that is brilliantly written with incredible voice acting. I hope OP checks it out.
They already exist and their name is Murderbot. Check out the Murderbot Mysteries.
All of my social activities involve quiet rooms and less than 10 people. Although I will say that if the crowd gets big enough then the white noise all the talking creates can be calming. Unfortunately the hundreds of people bumping into you kinda ruins the whole thing.
Rain sounds and/or instrumental music are the only way I can focus when the environment is noisy.
I like to say that I think in really big mutable general concepts, abs only in specifics when solving a puzzle or troubleshooting. Sensations is much closer than words for sure.
My SO hates driving, so I drive us everywhere, they also love conversing. I keep trying to explain why this isn’t compatible… at least now they keep track of where we are more often and let me know when I’m going to miss my turn. I won’t talk and drive without my ADHD meds though, way to dangerous…
I’m right there with you. Going through all of it right now. I have been considering getting an official diagnosis, but I’m 100% sure I’m on the spectrum, so I’m not sure if there is a point.
Yes! It can be very effective for certain things and for certain people. It’s much more useful for those of us with ADHD. It’s helpful for retraining things like imposter syndrome, self- loathing, anxiety, etc.
Personally I have found FasterEFT is more helpful since it’s a quick in the moment fix and can be learned in a few minutes, but it does require self awareness. Meditation helps there and both seem easier and more useful to me.
Card Hunter is an excellent trpg/ deck builder that has card based actions. Excellent single player with multilayer options that I haven’t explored much because I generally need to be able to pause for extended periods, but it seems solid enough (no idea if there is an active community though).
You can pay to skip ahead, but I had a great time never paying for anything. Probably put 100 hrs plus in.
This is the message they are sending to users:
Hey u/username,
We will soon begin rolling out changes to Reddit’s User settings. It is getting a refresh that includes changes to ad personalization, privacy preferences, and location settings.
As part of these changes, we are retiring a setting that you have previously turned on that limited how we used your activity from the Reddit platform to personalize ads. We have replaced the setting with a new option to select categories of ads that you may not wish to see.
More details are available in our announcement and help center.
These changes are rolling out starting today and you may see the changes over the next few days.
It’s by far the best mobile browser that let’s you run tampermonkey and uBlock on Android and it’s not close. I haven’t found an add-on that let’s me run video/audio in the background, so until then Brave stays installed so that running YouTube with no ads and the phone locked is an option.
Aside from that, Firefox gives fantastic customization options, runs well, and is less vulnerable to attacks specifically because it has a smaller market share and it makes more sense to target Chromium based browsers.
I’m not mad, I just prefer open source software that doesn’t collect my data. What are your favorite things about sync that I can’t get with Jereboa?
What keyboard bug? I haven’t run into it, and I’ve been using it for months.
It’s crazy to me how small the Jereboa usage is. It didn’t collect or share data and has a great interface. What are these other apps giving that makes you want to use them? Genuinely curious on what I’m missing out on.
This is sadly a much more likely scenario
