For myself, I tend to be reluctant to get into any game, but once I am I'll play it for 1,000-2,000 hours. Borderlands 2 and Binding of Isaac, for example. I've owned Borderlands 3 since it came out and still haven't actually played it because Borderlands 2 is still easy to fixate on even after \~1,200 hours of playtim...

Do you think ADHD is over diagnosed now, or under diagnosed 30 years ago? Keep in mind that apparently 1 in 3 college students have taken Adderall. This seems quite high to me, but maybe it is necessary. Idk I was just looking to get some input from you guys, particularly people aged 30+ who lived in that time.
