Me, needing to apply to jobs: ugh, I'll do it later. (Then I finally do it, but only for like an hour)
Me, modding Skyrim: four hours later just a few more records to verify and things to tweak!
Me, during dance class: ok, you just spent about 3-5 minutes showing us the figures, but I don't remember anything you just did ๐ถ Also, my brain refuses to allow my hands and feet to do different things. If I focus on my upper body movements, I completely lose everything that my feet are doing and vice versa.
You forgot that after finishing modding Skyrim you're not interested in playing anymore. In fact, it feels disgusting.
You are truly one of my kin ๐
I kid you not. A few years back when vortex mod compilations weren't a thing and you had to install every mod by itself and make sure it works with other mods I ended up downloading, installing and tweaking mods for about a week until it looked and felt like I wanted. Then I never played the game. This happened more than once.
I regularly find myself in adhd memes but according to the doc I don't meet the point required to be diagnosed with ad(h)d, so I just try to somehow work.
Oh absolutely, I've done the pages/tens of hours modlist installs too! I started back around 2012-2013, life took over for years, then in early 2020 COVID lockdowns happened in NYC and I needed a way to kill like 16 hours a day. I remembered modding was a good time killer, found Lexy's LOTD list, and spent about 20-25 hours (probably 3-7 hours at a time) going through it.... Twice.
How many hours did I play it before I discovered Wabbajack was a thing and installed a new list? Maybe 5 hours hahaha
God, I get sucked into modding Bethesda games and by the time I'm done I play them for 10 minutes tops
I picked up modding again in early 2020. I'm still doing it 4 years later. I've spent probably a few hundred hours modding the game and maybe 40 hours actually playing it.
