October on a Sunday, still warm enough the ice cream truck just passed by.

Really wish it didn't play Turkey in the Straw.

The story of this game so far:

Airona: Whatever you do, don't touch the radioactive purple miasma. PLEASE.

My dumb ass: *runs right for the purple shit at every possible opportunity or is tricked into eating/huffing it; dies*

Airona: Okay, wow.

Because I'm in my depression era, right now. :p Also I'm shit at it ('motherfuck, this is ff14's headless chicken running bullshit again godsdammit'). I spent most of the weekend drunk fishing.

It's October and still hot outside, so I can still show off my abs. :p #blueprotocol #blackskygamers 🎮

Screenshot from Blue Protocol: Star Resonance: Sael is a dark-skinned man with greying black hair and goatee, wearing an unbuttoned white shirt and white trunks. He's smiling and raising the peace sign while fireworks are going off over the ocean behind him.

Working memory is a major barrier for people with ADHD. It's more prone to being erased, overwritten, or overwhelmed.

Expecting ourselves to follow changing or complex instructions without support, especially in a chaotic or distracting environment, is often a recipe for missing something

Okay, never mind, diversity win, shit's weird on both of them.

Screenshot from Blue Protocol: The player is wearing a blue, strange wetsuit that is only comprised of one sleeve, a collar, a shoulder pad on the other arm, blue trunks, and a nervous plush shark in an inner tube attached to the belt.

Why is this cut so weird? XP #blueprotocol #blackskygamers 🎮

(Playing a man because again, oh look the women's clothing has illogical undertiddy, weird cutouts in her space suit, and in general looks awful.)

Screenshot from Blue Protocol: The player is a dark-skinned man with black hair turning grey at the ends. He's wearing a 'detective's outfit, which is a white button-down, black vest, and beige jacket that is cut much wider than it should be.

Bleh. I used to love rainy days, but they just make my body hurt now. 😞

Violet Arrows @violetarrows.bsky.social · 3d

Okay, would like to sober up now, trying to play while this inebriated is getting annoying.

Man, fuckin... phone crashed when I tried to upload what I was drinking with the proper alt text, then uploaded the test with bad alt text just fine.

*drunk* Aww shit, get it little man... #blackskygamers 🎮🍄 #trashgoblin

I’ve learnt that only hyperfocus can keep me from disappointing others. Sometimes.

Two-page comic about ADHD, self-doubt, and burnout.

Panels 1+2
A person with short black hair and yellow antennae recalls lifelong struggles with effort and recognition. As a child, they cry while being scolded over homework. Later, they work hard but still fail small details and receive an “F.” When they finally succeed, they can’t enjoy it—holding a medal labeled “2,” they feel it’s luck, not skill.

Panel 3+4
Page 2:
They explain how productivity fluctuates. A blue graph shows steady effort, while a pink line spikes wildly. They say, “For me, it fluctuates more extremely.” Sitting exhausted at a messy desk, they admit, “I only stop when I’m too tired to go on. The word I learned for all this was ‘lazy.’ I never learned a healthy measure or how to trust myself.”

How old is too old to be told I have "serious potential?" Because I'm tired and old

*small nagging internal voice* We're supposed to be working on ship week.

Me: I literally only endure romance once every 5-7 months and I think I might have already used that up recently. Was kind of a stupid idea trying to commit to it, honestly.

SNIV: ...oh. okay.
