I don’t have ADHD but it happens to me sometimes. Because all of these lengthy updates, shader caching, loading of game loader, loading of game, etc. By the time a game fully loads I need to go to bed.
I played Roller Coaster Tycoon from 1999 recently. That was the exact opposite, and so refreshing. Its an efficient game, which I think it had to be to run well back then with the simulation of 1000 individual guests and the whole park on a Pentium 90 with 16 MB of RAM.
I don’t remember how it was back then, but now playing it on a modern computer, it just loads instantly. When I noticed how truly instant it was, I was so surprised that I just switched back and forth between loading two saves for a bit :-)
Yeah I know. Chris Sawyer. If I recall correctly he said he had to use a little bit of C to interface with the Windows APIs but the rest is all assembly 😄
I quit playing the Sims 4, I am simply, a builder. I would go on a month binge, then not play for 6months. Sometimes I’d play once a month-
But having to fix my mods every single time I booted was so much. I never had issue finding what was broken, it was just so time consuming. Then after two hours the game would be ready to play, and … I would be instantly bored, forgot my house plan to the mind vortex, all energy spent, ugh. That game is seriously dead.
I was beyond excited to move from xbox to pc with that game. amazing how it took no time at all for me to hate it.
I also play PvE Rust, it takes like a half hour to load in, and i get a whopping 33FPS. Love that game so much, 20-30mins loading time is fine if I dont have to fix mods like a sleuth every fuckin time I want to play. Just walk slowly so the graphics can load in lmao
I still load into Rust and immediately just, log off often. Hyperfocus just isnt there sometimes.
Thats when I load N (it’s free and fun!) and play short levels.

It was written by one dude in assembly

What does he use to lift up his massive brain?

I think you’d like satisfactory! It loads pretty quick too somehow.
