I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.
Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

ADHD simulator
wake up, have task moving around environment keeps adding more tasks or secondary tasks, earlier tasks fade out/disappear/become broken up as list gets longer (feeling that there's something that you were originally going to do - can recall if you go back to the place where task was added)
activities can be partially completed and forgotten
end screen lists all the things you did, didn't, and kind of did do
I don't know what the end goal would be for a game like this, maybe just get to the end of the week
