I got a gift card from a family member for Gamestop last year and wandered in. How the times have changed. It was like 90% funko pops, board games and other stuff. The videogame section was basically just a little wall with some Nintendo stuff, another little wall with Xbox/PS stuff (used only!) and everything else was behind the clerk.

Loved this game.
The sequel or the original? I loved the first one but haven't tried the sequel as I don't own a PlayStation anymore.

Of course now I have to take melatonin to make sure I don't wake up after 3 hours of sleep, but I've dealt with insomnia for most of my life, so, eh. Worth it.
Something to consider: I found that taking ZMA (Zinc Magnesium Aspartate) before I go to bed vastly improves my quality of sleep. I occasionally take melatonin, but I don't like the groggy feeling I get when I wake up.

Adderall.

Sing it brother. The past year has been brutal with the shortages though. I just switched my son to Vyvanse and am considering switching myself.
Also, I learned the hard way not to take Adderall after 6PM or I can't fall asleep until 2AM.
This is why I hate the Adderall XR (extended release) and always request the instant, regular stuff. Sometimes I forget to take mine in the morning and I'm ok with taking regular Adderall up until midday or so, but the XR will keep me awake too long if I take it at any time other than morning. Wish I had started Adderall much sooner in my life. No more chronic tiredness for me!

Fucking Bethesda. "Here community! We're going to sell you 20 versions of this game over the next decade, but you will be responsible for modding in the most basic ass functionality as we don't feel like adding it."
I watched the ACG review on this. I think between BG3, Cyberpunk 2077 being completely altered and getting a DLC, and Avatar in November, Starfield is a no until it starts going on sale. It just looks so bland. Outer Worlds was fantastic, but this doesn't even make me want to bother. Maybe when the Super Ultra Deluxe 10 year GOTY edition comes out.
Agreed 100%. Starfield is a seriously flawed game, from all that I have seen of it. I don't think it is as bad as some games have been at launch but it is definitely very mediocre, and will probably take a LOT of modding to fix. I will be skipping it for now (and maybe for ever). This is now the second Bethesda game that I have not bought at launch, after Fallout76 which I have also skipped.
