I have so many unfinished games because of how much I struggle to jump back into a game I haven't played in a while, because of this I've become a serial restarter. On the other hand, my partner can pick up a game they haven't played in _years_ and just jump right back in as if they never stopped. They think it's perfectly normal but to me it's like they have some sort of superpower.
Any console with a suspend or quick resume feature is making it amazing for playing and resuming games easily. 1. the ease of pausing or stopping a game at any point even mid dialogue makes the activation energy to start playing way less. 2. By simply pointing my character in the direction I want to go next before suspending the game gives me an easy way to resume and just keep walking and it'll all come back to me what to do next. Resuming in an arbitrary save point with no sense of direction adds a big hurdle when resuming games. Using this in God of war (2018) with PS4 pro suspend feature. And in sea of stars on Nintendo switch. If steam puts out an OS I can put on a PC that supports a system suspend feature mid game I'm going to install it on my gaming PC and ditch windows.
Trueee knowing you can stop/start at any time makes it way easier otherwise i'm always waiting for that "perfect moment" to start it again but that moment never comes.
i've quit so many games i loved just because i couldn't remember how to play and the tutorials were a slog of pointless stuff you had to go through before it even got to the info i wanted. The second i feel like i "have to" do something i shut down completely ...if i feel coerced i will fight you to the death to avoid it even if it's something i love doing lmfao. unfortunately games that make me watch cutscenes i've already seen trigger my coercion response. case in point this new trend in shooters where we have to see what the teams look like at the start and end of a match (so they can sell skins) that 15 seconds of time wasting between matches slowly drives me crazy until i tilt out.
Not commenting the video when it was launched because it fell in the playlist (bin) of watch later that sometimes has hundreds of videos but I was watching this video and I'm not sure if you were talking about mechanics/features in games that affect people with ADHD or that affect everybody. Sometimes watching videos like this I wonder if I could have ADHD, but I'm pretty sure that I don't have because the part of the hyperactive doesn't aplies to me, I'm just lazy and easy to get distracted
You know it's bad when I got distracted playing a game, to watch a video about ADHD, only to then get distracted from the video... 😭😭

Hyperactive is only one kind of ADHD. The other kind (used to be called ADD) is inattentive, kinda the opposite
