It could be because she doesn’t play much, but I still believe ADHD could be part of it. Maybe she doesn’t get lost, per se, but rather that she doesn’t pay enough attention to what around her character. I have ADHD , and distractability in video games is something very familiar to me. Sometimes, the correct route seems obvious to other people, but I can run around in circles for quite a time before realising I’m not going the right way. It’s often a question of slowing down and observing carefully what’s being shown to me on screen. I never played Crash Bandicoot, but in certain games, I need as much info as possible on the minimap if I want to orient myself correctly. Again, I don’t think it’s a matter of getting lost; I got a pretty good sense of orientation in everyday life. Navigating video games without getting distracted is something else entirely, though.

As @CryptoKitten@sh.itjust.works pointed out, the origin of the expression is “au Diable Vauvert”, or “at the Vauvert Devil”. I just read about it, and Vauvert is a castle in France, reputed in the Middle Ages to be the home of the Devil, for one reason or another. It just means “somewhere very far away”.

Never heard about Wabush; is it a regional thing?

You’re absolutely right on both points, I didn’t remember until you mentioned it! Didn’t know Moukmouk was a real thing, though… The more you know!

In Québec, we say “Saint Clin-Clin Des meuh-meuh”; “Saint”, because a lot of towns here are named after a Saint, “Clin-Clin” because of another expression “ti-clin” which means some random person, so “Clin-Clin” means a random Saint, and “des meuh-meuh” because a lot of towns here have some kind of suffix like “des Saults”, or “de Brandon”, so “des meuh-meuh” (like moo-moo) is the sound a cow makes, and I guess it sounds rural or something. Also, when we talk about somewhere very far away, we say “au diable vert” “at the green devil”; not sure about the origin of this expression, though.

My experience with Vyvanse isn’t exactly a lack of hunger, but rather struggling to know if I’m hungry or not. I could either overeat, or eat nothing, and it wouldn’t make a difference until later, when I’m either feeling bloated because I ate too much, or feeling dizzy because I skipped lunch. What I found to work well is eating mostly the same thing every dinner; something light, like a sandwich or something. Also, having a big breakfast and a big dinner kinda balances out not eating much at lunch. But aside from hunger-related side effects, I’ve found Vyvanse to be a life-changer for me, after being diagnosed at 37. I’m turning 45 this year, and I’ve been taking 50mg for almost 8 years. It improved my focus, my mood, and my motivation; almost makes me wonder how I made it so far without it!

Now I’m the one being taken too seriously. I was just saying, I already got the joke and everything. Didn’t mean to bait anyone.

Honestly, I believe you’re taking this even more seriously than I do.

I mean, he could’ve just turned water into wine, just sayin’… And doesn’t wine transubstantiate into His blood, and not vice versa? There’s also a chance that I might be taking all this way too seriously.

For me, Vyvanse changed my life. Self-discipline, too, although it’s still often a struggle, to be honest.
