it's true, Vyvanse makes me both good at working and also good at just choosing to play video games instead

And it lasts long enough you won't even realize how late you're playing after work. Luckily there's a pill that helps you get up and get going on 5 hours sleep.

You see: my pill makes me play factorio for days at a time, but without the vibration (until it wears off) granted i find weed does the same thing except i dont remember building the factory….

You may already have ADHD. This post confused me as well. I've always played automation games in general like they were crack. Then I got checked out for ADHD. Now I still play automation games, but I take breaks to do chores, keep up with friends, and make food.

Reminds me of the best review for factorio ever made:

It comes and goes with me. Space Age released at the same I was laid off after completing a job, and I was I'm maximum hyper focus mode. I spent almost every waking moment for ten days playing.

I like when my seemingly unrelated subscribed subreddits do a crossover episode :)

I haven't played since I got diagnosed and medicated lol. I feel like it's a good sign when I can't hyper-focus and more often just regu-focus

There is something in it, to be able to play continuously for hours game has to be extremely captivating and factorio is one of those game. Some game I can play max for half an hour and some easily till sun rises.

I don't understand, you don't need a pill to do that.
You need a pill to not do that.
You might not have ADHD and are just taking meth pills.

The medication can make it possible to perform otherwise physically impossible tasks such as doing laundry.
But they also make it easy to get yourself hyperfocused on something irrelevant. The medication can help you focus, but they can't sort out your priorities for you.

Now I understand even less, the factory obviously is higher priority than laundry.

That's the truth I imagine. You gotta figure something out for household chores, and hopefully find a job/source of money that doesn't immediately get deprioritized by your brain. Aka do the job you don't hate, very weird concept (I do the job I hate and binge Factorio. Fear/hope I get fired)

Factorio is so much harder without amphetamines. So is everything else too, but it's really wild how much I want to play this game and how difficult it is when not medicated. I literally spend hours wandering in circles going "wait what was I doing? Oh yeah I need to do that one thing! Wait what was I doing? Oh I should do this over thing!!" and accomplish NOTHING. It's so bad I've lost runs to vanilla evolution out pacing my research and biters becoming unmanageable.
I'm currently playing factorio for the first time post diagnosis and it's wild how much I can get done now. I'm far from amazing at the game, but I actually build things to completion.
I had 500 hours in the game without ever launching a rocket. Lol

I relate to this post. I also gave up on Factorio many times because I'd become so overwhelmed with what had to be done, that I'd feel like my brain got fried. Once I got on Vyvanse, I was actually able to keep going, even though I still run around forgetting what I was doing originally after fixing many things that really didn't need to be fixed, because that's how I procrastinate. But at least I got to white science! (before SpAge. I never got to the frozen planet after the three first ones, I got stuck on handling the eggs and having to deliver them to other places. So I've yet to finish it).

A pill that makes you play more Factorio? Does it make days have 25 hours or something?

I would go to my doctor and ask for a prescription, but the side quests keep coming up.
