Not sure what age has to do with it, but. . . Enjoy. There are some great games just waiting for new players. The perks can bring balance to any system.

    I have a possible new diagnosis to discuss with my therapist tomorrow.  It might be the answer to a question that I have had since I was 19.  It's called Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).  It happens to a large percentage of people with ADHD, which I have.  Actually, I have been watching videos about ADD/ADHD lately.  I remember my Mom telling me that she watched a show on ADD and she...
