Just 20 more cards and the Dex is done ✅ obviously this was a huge amount of luck.

I play trading card games, it's a dangerous slope, but it is possible to remain competitive while respecting the ADHD.

It can be super useful for improving at the game but short term memory issues and the like mean it can be a bit frustrating from time to time.

#GamingWithADHD is wild, sometimes... The thrill of installing the game, making sure all the drivers are updated, snacks are in hand, is the most gaming that happens in a session from time to time.

I love when I play games but getting myself into a zone when I can fruitfully is uncommon 😅

Wicked was fantastic, the longer runtime was very warranted and handled well.
The only criticism I have is that I would have liked if Defying Gravity was less segmented with action and dialogue. Otherwise it was spectacular and visually otherworldly. 💚

It's just One Short Day to the Emerald City! 💚 Eeeeeeeeeee!
I know it is technically out today but myself and my wife are going tomorrow. Papa Ross duties and work come first then.... We feast upon the glorious greenosity that is Wicked.

I feel like the biggest game that almost defines #GamingWithADHD is none other than Minecraft by Mojang.
Minecraft, while infamous, is a building/crafting and exploration game with no end(except The End) of things to do, lots of organising and tons of variation.

Get to see the #Wickedmovie in 48 hours. I'm so so so excited.

Next up on #GamingWithADHD we have my current obsession, Vampire Survivors by @poncle.bsky.social
It is a topdown Bullet-Heaven game that coined the term Survivors-Like.
This game is €4.99 & its DLC is unendingly satisfying. Ode to Castlevania is *Chefs Kiss*

Coca-Cola for their yearly Christmas ad this year commissioned an AI update to their famous ad. It's truly atrocious. This is either a massive mistake or a calculated step.

Onto the pressing matter of the day, why is this Persian so jacked? Why are they winking at me? Also why are they clearly voiced by Tim Curry. #pokemontcgpocket #pokemon

You know, I'm not about making #ADHD my entire identity, however it frames so much of my daily life it would be difficult to not give it the consideration it needs so I can proceed into life's challenges and indeed life's comforts.

Straying from Auto-battlers, #GamingWithADHD I'd like to focus on some complete experiences. Starting with such a strong contender, Dragon Quest 11. Quoted as being"The perfect bedtime story". Instead of sending you a store page here's a review by Tim Rogers you will love: tinyurl.com/55puupu3

Next on #GamingWithADHD is Super Auto Pets by Team Wood Games.
It's an easy to grasp auto-battler with cute critters and even cuter players(one of them is me and soon to be you).
The game comes with packs to add more unique characters, one flat purchase per pack.

Next up on #GamingWithADHD is maybe a surprising one for some, but it is Teamfight tactics from Riot Games!
This RPG is one with a rotating meta game, units and strategies and cosmetic only micro transactions. A terrific competitive multiplayer auto-battle RPG.

I'm a big musicals nerd and I am super super looking forward to seeing #Wicked this weekend. I've been hearing nothing but positive press.

When it comes to adaptions of stage musicals I think there is a general understanding that things need to be somewhat different due to the medium.

#GamingWithADHD is tough. Not just because of the attention issues but due to being dopamine starved we are more likely to give into micro transactions for the quick rush. I'm all for supporting game developers, so I am going to highlight non-predatory games for #ADHDGamers.
