I have ADHD. The doctors say that is why I have so many half-finished projects. They say I get distracted and side-tracked. They are right. Yesterday, for ex, I got distracted and side-tracked by making cookies. They say that I can be medicated out of my condition. I hope not. #ADHD #Cookies #Xmas

They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books.
But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular.
It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.
