  • The Why-ing Game
    Oct 17 2024

    Why, why, WHY?! We're not toddlers, we're just people with ADHD! Ever find yourself wondering why about...everything? Us too! In this episode, Matt and AK go on a quest to uncover the big WHYs of TTRPGs AND life itself. From game mechanics to real-life motivation (and maybe some gaming convention stories along the way), we explore what makes our brains tick and how ADHD adds a little spice to the mix.

  • The Art of Futzing
    Aug 22 2024

    "Hello, my name is Matt, and I am a Futz-aholic."

    It's a danger for many, but especially for those with ADHD: the practice of "working" on building systems to increase productivity or improve online gaming experiences. With the new age of powerful app-building software like Notion, Obsidian, and Foundry VTT, there are more rabbit holes than ever to fall into.

    AK, the "unqualified Therapist," tries to help Matt find ways to tinker less and do more.

    p.s. if you're curious about which non-futzable software we went with for Project Management, PLEASE join our Discord server to find out: https://bit.ly/thepocketdimensiondiscord

  • ADHD Is So Hot Right Now with Skyler the ADHDM
    Jul 26 2024

    From deep within the comments section of a Ginny Di reaction video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7MEYTMSEW8&t=411s) a highly likely friendship was forged. Games sees game and the ADHDM + ADHd20 Team Tesseract emerged. Somehow refusing to procrastinate, we quickly booked some time to hop on the mics and get to know our new buddy. Now you're invited to get to know Skyler and the many exports of his Kingdom of ADHD, too! It's all here: anime stuff, woo-woo things, enlisting in the Navy, and more!

  • Notion Sickness
    Mar 28 2024

    In the first official episode of ADHd20 of 2024, your intrepid hosts Alison and Matt share their struggles with feeling overwhelmed and not yet acclimated to the new year, even after starting the winter with all the energy of Duracell Bunnies.

    What do you do when you know what to do but just can’t do it? Matt gives a taste of the RPG Methodology he has been moving into Notion, the hippest project management PKM in the world! And we are now taking applications to be a part of an official ‘NeuroSpice Exchange Program’, where we can kick ass on all the things we’re good at…for someone else.
