Younger Me was so upset when there was no way to have Atris admit her ~~love~~ obsession and join you in a Dark Side playthrough. She's the prime example of that "I can fix her (but the way she's broken is hotter)" meme.

The Handmaiden being replaced in your party by Blandy McBlanderson if your Exile is female is another, though at least that one was fixed by one of the most popular mods.
The first KOTOR feels like it belongs in the original canon. It's basically a perfect Star Wars movie with a bunch of game padding around it. It's the most "Star Wars" Star Wars outside of the Original Trilogy.
KOTOR 2 did what Rian Johnson tried to do in deconstructing and subverting the usual Star Wars tropes, and did so a million times more competently than The Last Jedi. With the Restored Content mod it's one of my favorite pieces of media ever.
The crash I referenced was caused by having the scrollbar enabled IIRC, and it was fixed earlier this year. It made it impossible to launch the main activity without crashing if you'd enabled that setting, so users were sharing workarounds to launch directly to the settings screen without loading any communities so they could disable it.
Sync has had serious issues in the past such as an easily triggered, reproducible, guaranteed crash on open, with the dev not putting out a fix for months. This neglect goes back several years, to back when Sync was a Reddit client. Most infamously he disappeared for over a year when his UI refresh wasn't well received.
The app is great (I'm only on Boost due to user tags requiring a paid subscription in Sync), but his response time to issues is glacial. And it doesn't help that it's by far the most expensive client if you want it ad-free, and features that used to be free now require an even more expensive subscription to use on top of that.
I found that the initial euphoria helped me get out and do things I normally wouldn't (like catch up with friends and family I'd lost track of over the years), and the satisfaction from that helped keep me naturally happy after the false euphoria faded. Your mileage may vary, but actually getting things done for once helped a ton with my related disorders like anxiety and depression and things weren't nearly as bad even when I started feeling normal again. And remember, the medication's ability to let your brain feel motivation doesn't fade, only the euphoric feeling.
The danger I see is that I think I need to up the dose to match the euphoria from the start, while I actually need to get to the point where it's 0 % euphoria, 100 % noradrenalin.
That's one of the main things my doctor warned me about when I started taking Vyvanse. He said that even though it might feel like your medication isn't working as well, to not to chase that rush because it won't actually help your symptoms and you'll quickly become tolerant of the higher dose as well. All you'll accomplish is paying more for a higher risk of side effects.
Not to mention if you appear to be a drug seeker they might decide to switch to a different, non-controlled medication that doesn't work nearly as well as what you're currently on.
Also a constant feeling like a hundred bucks, better than many recreational drugs.
Be aware that the euphoria is a temporary side effect and will only last for a week or two. The "actually being able to do things" part will remain, but feeling like a hundred bucks is due to the drug literally being an amphetamine and will fade as your body becomes tolerant of the dosage level you're taking.
It's a social media thing. Supposedly posts get deprioritized by the algorithm if they contain "family unfriendly" words like kill or drug references. No idea if it's actually true or just a myth, but it's why users edit out innocuous words in these screenshots.
At least orcas don't do to whales what they do to sharks - eat their liver and leave them to die in agony.
It boggles the mind that any language - let alone a systems programming language that most of the world's infrastructure is built upon - wouldn't adjust their specification to eliminate undefined behavior wherever possible. And C++'s all seem to be in the worst possible places, too.
Control shares the same universe and is more actiony, from what I've heard. It might be worth checking out if you haven't already.
That video has been in my aptly-named "Watch Eventually" playlist for ages. I should get around to actually watching it!
