The Gamecube and Unfairness

[80T]

Too long to quote...

I didn't knew about ADHD until now.
I just took an ADHD online test....
My result was 83/100... :/ (not quite sure about my accuracy on the answers but still... )
No wonder though... I pretty much expected this...
That explains much of my wonders...

To be honest I've somewhat felt a relief...

Doctors test I'm 100/100 ADHD. Even take meds. An ADHD is nothing to be ashamed of. Most really smart scientists and even in most cases children ADHD isn't a bad thing. Yes we get destracted very easily but then again if we are able to consentrate we can think way farther forward than most. For example. And no This is no exageration or however you spell it. Spelling is not my forte. Anyways. I use to see a councelor for my ADHD along with my meds. He had games and most times we played checkers or chess. I can tell the next 3-4 POSSIBLE moves in all out comes in which I can counter. I won every single time. And it wasn't because he sucked at the game. I just understand the movements of each piece and can tell the next movements really easily. Especially by watching the movements someone makes against my own movements. Normally just set ppl up for double or tripple jump in checkers or make themself end up in checkmate without even realizing it. Thinking they are countering what i'm doing not realizing they are sinking into a trap. Only once did he beat me and that was because I did not take my meds and got destracted unable to concentrate for very long I couldn't tell much besides his next move and in chess and checkers people are always trying to be 2 steps ahead of the opponent or more. So could see why and how I lost. Anyways. That is rambling. ADHD is just a disorder but nothing that can seriously affect your life.

1. I'm not ashamed of myself in any manner...
2. At least in my case, I can tell that indeed it affects my life (mostly in the bad direction... )
3. I kinda learned to live with it (not sure if it's the best thing though... ) and I'm not really sure that I want to be treated...
4. Though I don't think I ever meat a person with such disorder myself, I have the feeling that such cases aren't rare at all and it's somewhat something common...

OT: Just got my grey cube the other day Now I have 3 of them... great system
I already got my eyes on a black cube (I think it's condition it's 9.9/10 ) got to buy it as soon as I can afford it and get rid of one of the purple ones.

It affects only what you want it too. The meds are only there to slow down ADHD ppl's thinking becuz with ADHD we think about EVERYTHING on our mind at once even without realizing it. So with meds we can think about one thing at a time.

I don't think even 95% of you have real ADHD. I've seen kids with real ADHD they are obnoxious and keep touching stuff and literally twitch. I see kids be diagnosed with ADHD or ADD just because they are bored with their classes at school. It's not the kid's faults that the teachers are BORING.

So... I think it didnt' matter which one you chose, you would still have a great time with any of those 4 back in the day and even now. There is no actual unfairness since all of them had up and downs and if you were a real gamer you had to get all 4 to unleash the ultimate gaming experience ever mother ****ing created.

Long live to the purple cube and to the sixth generation
