Definitely better. I play tabletop RPGs (D&D, Pathfinder), and technology has allowed us to do all sorts of things that would be challenging in a physical medium. We can create detailed maps with lighting effects, sound effects, and triggers. A lot of the more tedious parts of the game such as initiative and health tracking get automated, and applying damage and healing is as easy as clicking a button while having a unit selected. And to top it all off, we're not restricted to playing with the people around us and physically getting together. You can sit at home in your PJs and just hop into a Discord call to play with your friends. I'm truly grateful for it because I was able to continue playing Tabletop RPGs with my sister when she moved 1300 miles away to live with her then boyfriend, now husband.

Because I have very poor social skills, and every time I have opened up to somebody in the past, they've taken advantage of me and hurt me. It's just more comfortable and stable being alone at this point.

Some folks with ADHD get a backwards effect from caffeine, putting them to sleep. Wouldn't hurt to get tested

I would have had a much easier time scheduling therapy if I could have done it within Dark Souls, tbh

I grew up poor enough to receive school lunches. Got straight A's all through school, yet as an adult I'm plagued with mental illness that I have neither the money nor support to get through, so I work in retail for $26k/yr.

What, you're saying you don't grow your own estrogen in a little plot of land in the back yard? You're missing out!

Until you drop that down the grate too

I don't even get the 'feel accomplished' part of tasks when I do them on time. Makes it real hard to convince myself to do things, I tell you hwat
