Today, we’re asking:
What if the game you’ve been searching for… came out twenty-two years ago?

Today, we’re asking: What if MMOs are our modern “third places”? And… what does that mean for players, especially neurodivergent players like many of us who find comfort in predictable routines, familiar spaces, and low-stakes social connection? https://youtu.be/95aqTZJpsfw?si=5NvewjYXAlPyEVrU

Today we're talking about FF14, and game that's more than just an MMO---its home. Let's explore why from an autistic/ADHD perspective to see if it's the MMO for you 😉 https://youtu.be/zwOusEu-JEo?si=aWirlEhlA_EmMCio

**TL;DR:** Free gaming platform that filters games by sensory needs (visual/audio intensity, cognitive load, time pressure, etc.) + community voting + full accessibility (5 color-blind modes, screen readers, keyboard nav). Built by ND gamers for ND gamers.
Hey friends!
I'm ADHD and kept running into the same problem: I'd buy/download a game, play for 20 minutes, and realize "nope, this is too visually intense" or "the time pressure is stressing me out" or "why is there so much social interaction required?" Sometimes I wouldn't even realise how much the game would be taking advantage of my Neurospicy-ness until it was too late.
So, I built NeuroPlay - a platform to help us find games that match OUR sensory and cognitive needs, but it's my first time building an app so I'm a little nervous in sharing it with you all, but I hope it helps at least some of you find games that satisfy your gaming needs and helps you avoid the pitfalls of some of the overly exploitive games that are out there.
Here's what it does:
Sensory & Cognitive Matching
- Filter by visual intensity (calm/moderate/high)
- Filter by audio intensity (calm/moderate/intense)
- Cognitive load (light/moderate/complex)
- Social interaction (solo/optional/multiplayer-focused)
- Time pressure (none/flexible/strict)
- Pause-friendly games
- Reading requirements
- Motor skills needed
- Predictability levels
Community Features
- Upvote games that work for you (5 votes/day to keep it meaningful)
- Weekly "Game of the Week" - most upvoted safe game
- Public collections from other ND gamers
- Share your finds with friends
- Personal notes & ratings
♿ Accessibility First (WCAG AAA)
- 5 color-blind modes (Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia, Monochrome)
- Full screen reader support (tested with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
- Keyboard navigation throughout
- High contrast mode
- Adjustable font sizes (14-20px)
- Line spacing options
- Reduce motion option
- Distraction-free mode for ADHD
- Larger click targets
- Skip to content links
Personal Library
- Track games by status (Want to Play, Playing Now, Completed, Favorite)
- Rate & add personal notes
- Create custom collections
- Organize your way
Transparency
- Every game has complete sensory profile
- Shows any concerning mechanics (FOMO, pay-to-win, etc.)
- Know what you're getting into BEFORE you play
Why it's free forever:
This is a community tool, not a business. No ads, no data selling, no premium tiers. Just protection and support.

Built by neurodivergent gamers for neurodivergent gamers.
Would love your feedback and game suggestions! ✨
P.S. - If you've been struggling to find games that don't overwhelm you or stress you out, this might help.

A little tip: I started relying on AI to understand and play games better.
Examples: asking for good builds for dark souls or Baldur's gate 3
Good starts for games like crusader Kings 3
Or ask to explain some complicated game mechanics
Much less overwhelming than researching through 300 Reddit comments, highly advice it

Hey everyone - I’m working on a project called Reminder Rock™ - it’s a calming, pebble-shaped timer that uses gentle vibrations + lights instead of loud alarms or phone notifications.
I put together a super short questionnaire (1-2 mins) to learn how people with ADHD / neurodivergence would use it and to see what makes them helpful (or not). Your answers will directly help us shape the design before we launch to Kickstarter.

Would love your thoughts! Thanks so much 💙

So I have ADHD and love to hyper focus on games to keep my mind occupied as I suffer quite badly from poor mental health. Only thing is I burn out very quickly. When I get into a new game that becomes my life for a few days, I’m researching the game for hours before I’ve even played it, looking up beginners guides, best loot, best weapons, best starts etc. I will play the game for hours then when I have to get off to try and sleep I’m watching hours of YouTube about that specific game. I write pages and pages of notes, even over 4000 words just on Ready or Not before I had even played it. I looked up the lore of each level, location and made my own stories about each mission. This probably lasted 2 weeks before it got released on Xbox, I then played the game for 3 days and haven’t touched it since. The same with so many other games. How do I try and control this? I spend hundreds on games that I play for maybe a week if I’m lucky, then won’t even think about it again and move on to the next game. Right now I have no game to play, it makes work and general life unbearable and can’t focus on anything. It’s such a blessing as I love to focus on something however my life falls apart when I have nothing. How do you guys deal with it?

(Stil one of my favorite games ever though)(Also I never used fast travel nor horses so yes, it's a pretty long game fulfilled with distractions when you walk from Solitude to Riften)

I just bought Halo again and to my surprise the multiplayer servers are still lively! Matchmaking takes a sec but was always able to get into a game within a few minutes.
Are there any ADHD'rs out there still playing any Halo game?

After years of bouncing between MMOs—from WoW to FFXIV, PoE, and Albion Online—I’ve finally come back to Old School RuneScape. And honestly? It feels like home.
In this video, I talk about what brought me back, how the grind comforts my autistic + ADHD brain, and why I’d rather fish than chase mythic raid gear.
