MY ADHD NIGHTMARE | Papers Please - Part 1

So... we gonna tell him he could just keep the map open?

I like how by 16 minutes in, he's descended into the depression of a retail worker

Fun fact, Dari is a human trafficker, so either sending him away or letting him through results on dancers being found dead, if you use the checker with the letter and his name you can detain him and have a hand in shutting down a human smuggling ring at the Pink Vice. Every entrant that hands you a Pink Vice slip also always has valid paper (suspiciously obtained or not) and stops showing up after day 7 (The day the ring is shut down or the day dancers are found dead)

Sean's first time playing Papers Please: methodically comparing everything for any possible discrepancies Mark: gives a cursory look "...uh ok, yeah, looks good, come on through!" has a meltdown when he's penalized for the x-teenth time

I like how he noticed Vince in an instant but Jack missed him twice

Who’s gonna tell him he can keep the book open-

Letting the wife through because he knew he was doing okay and could take the citation was a very wholesome moment ❤️

10:07 he trying to memorize all the stuff by a song is maybe my fav part of the whole series

I love that he figured out he could scan things for discrepancies and then decided to just look at everything by eye

Jack: loved the game so much he played it twice Mark: pure and utter HELL

"Maybe he was wearing shooooeeees!" Ah yes, the shoes that makes you sink into the ground and reduce your height!

I like how no one even questions the fact that there is a system that clearly watches what we do and knows if we screwed up. This machine can read all the information and tell us that the last document had expired or that the ID numbers don't match. This system can do our job and yet someone decided that it shouldn't and that we needed to be there to inspect. An ex boarder inspector from the United Federation at some point tells us that in his country boarder inspection is an automated system and Arstotzka very clearly has a system like that and can scan the documents... And yet still chooses to have an inspector anyways.

mark looks like he’s in a closet playing games secretly at 3 am

I'll come back later don't worry...

There are two kinds of ADHD Sean: understands what he's supposed to do, still struggles cuz goddamn is this game hard, but he processes all the info really well Mark: sad and confused and not processing info well at all but he's still trying very hard and we're all so proud of our lil Markimoo

Mark, you literally did this whole thing wrong. But we still love you

I love that Jorji is so understanding when you deny him, the cutest little potato man.

I admire this man's commitment to using only his eyes to detect discrepancies.

The flip in emotion from after mark got his cheat sheet to 15:10 is hilarious like he starts off as one of those super enthusiastic walmart people into a 9-5 depressed Spenser worker

mark freaking over having to memorize things and immediately jumping to trying to make a song to memorize it better is the most relatable adhd thing I've seen in a while lmao
