I agree, a big buggy open world game, maybe not quite as bad as Fallout 76, is not a place for intrusive anti-cheat. If there is a place for it, it’s competitive shooters, and, as you pointed out, competitive esports.

For me its as much about the mindset and prep as it is about the choice of product. I prefer to be creative/productive over chill/couched most of the time. If I’m trying to hit that ADHD flow state high, I usually drink some mango juice (interacts with those receptors) or have a slice of pizza (fat increases the absorbancy of the cannibanoids). I’ve heard broccoli acts similarly. Then I’ll do something centering like take a walk or rock in my hammock for a bit. After that, I’m using revving my gears ready to ram into a project headfirst. Your mileage may vary.
