I remember a more modern iteration of a virus that forces you to play an extremely hard game:

It demands a score of 200 million points in one of the hardest installments of Touhou on the highest difficulty. And 200M is pretty high, basically you need to finish all 6 stages and score reasonably well.

Even ADHD-oriented media is often being dishonest with people who suspect themselves to have this condition, being toxicly positive and showing ADHD as a "superpower" as if you can hyperfocus your way to success. It is neither a gift nor even an equal exchange between advantages and drawbacks like "you'll be always late but also always creative!" It's a crippling thing that may ruin career or end a relationship. There is nothing good with ADHD.
