I grew up with some of the first games. Loved Sierra's library. Played some of the more eclectic games like Battle Beast and Howie's Great Word Adventure. As far as programs went, I didn't get much into it until later. But, I do remember using the Microsoft Works Creative Writing Program. That was fun to do designs on.

Seconding the first comment here: I have ADHD and your description sounds very familiar to me. I am able to use alarms to motivate myself to get up and do some things, but it is definitely not 100% and many alarms are skipped. Another thing that helped me was learning to tell myself it's ok; it's to take a break, even a long break, even many long breaks - and it's ok to not do things that were planned. Being nice to me really helped reshape my understanding of achievement. It never gets easier, but learning how to deal with it definitely changed it from daily dread to enjoying life.
And they definitely shouldn't use a fake email generator to setup a seemingly realistic contact roster for themselves and references.

The library of things is also something many public libraries have now. Not just media, but tools, power tools, cooking pans and equipment, pod casting equipment. Definitely worth a look.
So, where do we ~~get~~ have to go when they deport us? I'm Irish/Scottish from about 400 years back, so my ancestors were literally here before the USA existed. Do I ~~get~~ have to go back "home"? Because I've always wanted to go!
I had a nice little profile on there until about a month ago. I didn't delete when I saw AI spammers join. And I kept my profile even when the mods were starting to become reddit-ish. What sent me over the edge was when they announced a partnership with an AI company who said they were "just there to beef up security". Yeah, no, not for me. Super sad, too, because Bluesky is a good idea, but I'm sticking with the fediverse.
Ubuntu user here. I get glitches from time to time, and the newest update caused a more than small issue with booting. However, compared to the litany of glitches, bloatware, and user-anti-interface of Windows, I'll sing the praises of Ubuntu all day long. Even the few games I play, like Cyber Punk, run perfectly.
About 15 years ago I did this one little trick. People have been doing it for literal millenia, and it really helped me cut back on the time spent gaming. I had kids... Since then, I only ~~get to~~ play on weekends.
