Basically amounted to "You should game-ify your work flow. Break things up into manageable tasks and set aside the time to do each task. Whatever you can't do today, try to get it done tomorrow. Make sure you reward yourself for reaching your goals as well. And if you find that you can't enter into that workflow because of real life, make sure you make time to do something to reset your brain whenever you come home from work or school. Take a nap, take a shower, take a walk, do whatever you need to do to reset your brain."
He said something like this about ADHD for sure.
And it is fucking retarded, cause ADHD is not intellectual disability, it's executive function disability.
Anyone who had to do anything with people with ADHD will know that this shit does not work.
It's very hard to trick yourself, why delay prize when you can just take it now?
Someone with ADHD have hard time forming habits, so this idea of gamification is retarded and screams lack of experience with them.
Though I would give him this, that doing it externally works. That's why ADHD people are often addicts, be to games or other substances.
All his wisdoms are as always reddit tier feel good advises, sounds good for someone who has no idea about given topic, but are worthless in reality.
Because it seems like all he’s doing at best is affirming things or just talking things up.
That's what most people want. Why would you want to put hard work into making games, learning how to properly program, learn how to make appealing art?
When some dude on the internet can tell you it does not matter, just make your slop!!
It feels good. Like you are worthy even if you don't do shit.
It's especially appealing, given that there is shitload of good resources to learn. And developing actual experience and competence is possible, and not that hard.
But it's easier to point at some game's flaws and say "Hey, it's shite here! See does not matter that you skilless!" (and then ignore that it excels at something else, or was first to do something, and it would probably be easier to just hone your craft than to replicate why it was successful).
