Being unable to think of something without a prompt.

I guess most people can just remember things without sticky notes and calendars.

I might be. Give me a topic and I'll spew out all sorts of obscure trivia, but until you mention it, I don't know that any of it exists.

Is that a challenge? Tell me what you know about Living Card Games without looking it up!

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

So, "Living" card games doesn't mean anything to me, but you did trigger card games in general, which could take me a while. I've probably spent a majority of my waking life playing Magic, Poker, Hearthstone, Silver, Smash up, and various other card games. Most recently, I'm obsessed with Balatro.

That being said...

Are you about to open a Pandoras box by making me look up Living Card Games?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Mate, if you're into CCGs, you really missed out by not getting into LCGs! Android:Netrunner, a remake of the original Netrunner from the 90s is the absolute GOAT CG out there with a close second being the Doomtown:Reloaded (which I helped design). Basically it was CGs without the luck/gambling. Just get all the cards and make exactly all the decks you want.

Unfortunately Netrunner and Doomtown run out of steam half a decade ago, but they're still developed by their fans, but usually the only way to play them consistently is online in places such as Jinteki.net. There's a few others still in production, but iirc they're co-operative ones, like Arkham Horror

Lol I played Wizard 101 with my kids. I had the most amazing solo life/balance deck.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

I was maining the most jank exile /chess deck you've ever seen. I called it homeless kasparov

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I really like netrunner but I can't find anyone to play with (I prefer in person opponents). It is also the first thing that comes to mind when I think of living card games.

In high school, my friend ran Linux. I was over at his house and he had to go take a shit or something, and I was trying to see what games he had on his computer. When he got back he asked what the hell I did because he now has to reboot, and we're going to have to watch it do that for the next half hour. And penguins and hats.

That's pretty much everything I ever needed to know about Linux.

i have approximate knowledge of many things; accessing it without the right trigger may take a while though.

i know i know something but i have accepted that my brain will often only grant me access days later in a completely unrelated situation 🤷🏼‍♂️

You ADHD? I was almost 40 before I learned about inattentive type ADHD. As far as I knew, ADHD was spastic kids that couldn't sit still. Since I was more of the daydream and fall asleep type, I never would have thought I was part of that crowd.

[–] catharso@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Pretty sure, yes.

I'm over 40 and i've had this and many other symptoms my entire life.

No official diagnose though; but this 160 questions-test for example says i'm pretty high up there: https://www.adxs.org/en

I'm also the daydream and fall asleep type ☺️

Undiagnosed adults club!

This is me to a large degree. Give me a cue and a whole encyclopedia is at your fingertips. Just say think of something and I'm at a loss.

We are normal, it's the others who are weird

Singing to me the song of my people. Where you all at?!

Omg, this is me. I thought I was alone. I love all you people in this thread, FAM!
