I quite liked this in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
This was incredibly helpful for me, as I took a long pause between playing after ending up on the second map
Pokemon FireRed (and LeafGreen) does this!
By the way, these “flashbacks” aren’t static images. Your player sprite would be animated doing the last thing it did in that frame!
Also, the controls are simple enough in this game. No need for any tutorials.

Ahh nostalgia! The last ones i played, next thing i know they’ve got pokemon modelled after a garbage bag.
Leave Trubbish alone, he’s one of my favorites.
Damn, that’s a cute name. I could imagine a street dog with it.
There’s a journal feature in DPPt too! Not as dynamic as it was in FRLG though
You beat me to it. As soon as I saw this post I immediately thought of FRLG, which are probably my favorite Pokémon games. The only change I would make would be to implement the phys/spec split
The best part to me is how it emulates the anime recaps
Even though you say that, there is a tutorial for the controls. Funny though, I forgot which button it is. 🧓
forgot which button it is
I believe pressing either L or R works.
This is the main reason I hate quests. I would start something, not play for a month or so, come back and having to figure out where I had left off. By the time I was caught up, my gaming time was over.
Detailed quest log/journal is a must. I hate it when quest logs don’t show what you’ve already completed.
Ok, I have to break into the office to steal the trophy but WHY? Talk to Fred, WHO THE FUCK IS FRED?
The reason i dropped out of the worst in Stardew Valley: too many characters!
You can bet money I never remembered anyone’s birthday or the upcoming town events. :(
This is infuriating specially when doing multiple side quests in parallel.
At least you got that far. Usually I run out of time before mandatory updates are done.
This would be the best gift
Honestly, we need more ADHD-friendly accessibility features in life overall.
I really hate that ADHD doesn’t get taken seriously as a disability, because having it certainly makes me feel disabled compared to most people.
I feel like an extraterrestrial when someone tries to teach me a new board game. I don’t understand what they’re telling me, and they don’t understand what I’m asking (or WHY I’m asking it). I feel like the instructions could almost always be expressed succinctly as a flow chart, but I’ve never actually encountered that in the wild.
A flow chart? That’s interessing… I never made a board game but if i ever happen to, be assured that i am prolly gonna use one, it just seems such a good idea
Disabilities in general don’t get taken seriously. In addition to ADHD, I have an eye deformity that requires $5000/year special contact lenses and just keep getting told to pound dirt :/
You’re not perhaps talking about keratoconus?
Is that the one where, if you don’t wear contact lenses, your eyeballs might literally explode?
Nope, your cornea might fall out. At least I haven’t heard of exploding eyeballs
Lol indeed, I’m surprised someone else knows about it.
It’s a terrible fucking disability but there’s like no research into it and insurance thinks they know better than ophtomologists
My brother has it. I’m German, and he got an experimental treatment called crosslinking some years ago. They stabilize the cornea using a laser, and since then, he doesn’t need contact lenses anymore, but glasses suffice. Nowadays, it’s apparently proven enough that even the public health insurance pays for it. Now, by the price of the contact lenses you mentioned, I presume you’re American, and it might be incredibly expensive, but you could still do a bit of research about it.
I had cxl a few years back, his case sounds a lot more manageable. Cxl doesn’t typically improve vision, it just prevents it from getting worse.
I’m in Canada, but it was also $$$ when I was in the US. For some fucking reason it’s specifically excluded from the assistive devices coverage here. My ophto has been fighting them for ages
CXL stands for cornea cross-linking, so you have done it already. Then nevermind what I said. Good luck with your struggles in the future!
I was playing a Professor Layton game and it had a recap of the past thing you were doing every time you opened the game. Loved it, so helpful
Witcher 3 has a little bit of that but could be better for sure
One of the reasons it took me do long to beat the main quest on skyrim, and I’d always convince myself to just start over because this time for sure I’ll get through it all
How many stealth archers did you roll up?
I do this for myself because same lol. I post PC so I usually keep a text document open so I can write down things I’m working on or, things I need to know I finished or, quests or whatever.
Smart!
In stardew and Minecraft they have signs. I have signs in different areas for different reminders of what I’m doing just in case I lose my notes lol
I wish every game had an ultra easy/explorer mode for this reason. I have zero interest in having to become “good” at a game in order to move forward. I’d love to give Elden Ring and such another try but I’m just a regular dude with a job and a family. I’m not trying to make video gaming a new “skill”, I just want to play the stupid game for a bit, put it down, maybe forget about it for a month before I have time to pick it back up again…
The newer Deus Ex games had something like that, the loading screen would be a “Previously on Human Revolution” sequence like with a TV series
This is my biggest hurdle to No Man’s Sky, NGL. Thankfully, there’s an option to reset a quest to a more local star system, but that can be tedious if one’s near the end of said quest, as it completely undoes any progress before moving the marker to a spot closer to me.
Maybe I’ll get to it this time, maybe I’ll get distracted and run out of playtime.
That’s the real game, ya know? 🤷🏼♂️
I don’t care. I play helter-skelter anyway. Just jumping around to whatever is fun, forgetting where I was, repeating stuff I liked. Never finishing the game. It’s all good.
This is what I love fallout 4. Yeah it’s not the best story, or game, but It’s like it was made for ADHD people. Constant sidetracking, few timed quests, even less that matter at all, easy to jump into and just spread chaos at a moments notice. Its pretty easy, even on hard or survival, eventually you become so OP it’s like playing God and flooding the earth.
Steam overlay has a “Notes” feature to keep your thoughts and allows you to resize however you want and optionally overlay it on top of your game instead of having it hide when you minimize the steam overlay, for quick referencing recipes/guide info etc. it also persists through sessions. I frequently use this in survival games or rogue like games to write myself a debrief before I get off at the end of the night knowing that I won’t remember certain details tomorrow.
Hahaha, that’s awesome. I’ve still just been taking physical notes with pen and paper like it’s the 90’s but I’ll have to check this out
I used a pen and paper when I played Blue Prince. It was pretty much necessary.
Though I did take a lot of screenshots too and those were also helpful
Oh nice, is it tied to the game or global notes?
Wait whaaat? That’s really cool.
One of my favourite games atm is “Into the dead: our darkest days”. It’s a survival rogue like, basically like this war of mine, but set in texas in the 80s with zombies.
It’s fantastic, but too often when revisiting a scavenge site I forget which rooms I’ve gone in and what resources are available/I need to bring.
I’ve wished they’d implement a “pen” feature for the map (like project zomboid), or spray paint you could bring to mark a door, for the entire time I’ve played it. But steam notes sounds like a fantastic solution, assuming they don’t implement something in game.
I’ll comeback after month sometimes and be like “shit, what do I need here again?” but even just the next day I’ll forget some stuff
This is why Satisfactory should have a built-in Kanban board!
Nah. I just finished a playthrough with a friend and my experience is you just can’t plan that game. Go with the flow and shit will sort itself out. If you plan for more than the milestones, you’ll fail.
