What the fuck. I am 8 episodes in Kamen Rider 555 and it's actually good. I would like it more if it had some more mature themes but it's pretty good, especially for a child-targeted TV show. I think shows aimed at adults in my country are less well-written and directed than this one

When I am in full work mode for weeks and I don't really experience media I have an intense desire to collect yu-gi-oh cards, which disappears once I play a good game / watch a good anime. I had understood that people consume useless stuff because they want to feel something when they don't have time for a more time-consuming but more satisfying activity that has some substance, but feeling it myself is a whole other beast.

Why can't I work 4 days / week or something, I am not even asking to not work at all. My job is too stressful to have to go to the office and talk with representatives of our client everyday. Does everyone feel this way regardless of mental illness or neurodiversity?

When I was unemployed I had a ton of free time but I felt that something was missing, and I was anxious about not having a job. Now that I am employed, my free time has been reduced by a ton and I miss being unemployed. Shits weird

For co-op games try Rabbit & Steel and Secrets of Grindea

Well THAT just happened lea-smug

I think I have reached the autism/ADHD/OCD endgame. I cannot make myself experience anything new without someone else holding my hand and doing it with me (usually my gf), whether it is some new piece of media or learning something (which I loved before my symptoms flared up and targeted it in uni). The only thing I can do is work work work until I get fired for being too burnt out to do it.

Is any Kamen Rider any good as an adult? I'm in the mood for something light media-wise so I am curious about this series

New rock bottom just dropped: instead of doing something actually worthwhile with my life I am just grinding pet battles on a WoW private server

The ADHD+OCD combo (executive dysfunction + a need to find the perfect distraction-free moment) have left me unable to experience media while having a job. I miss it

I am thinking of getting on Ozempic. It is expensive but I am tired of losing weight only to gain it again because of stress eating and generally having intense cravings (I was obese as a child so that might have contributed to it). I don't want to die early, I want to live a full life with my girlfriend and friends.
