I’ve found that whenever I take Ritalin...

Then stop taking ritalin then and start taking modafinil instead.

Video games become so much more enjoyable and immersive when you are on modafinil. You are better at them as well because it improves your reaction times and thinking.

Modafinil just increases your want to do things. If you don't already want to do anything, it will actually just make you more lazy. This is why it's actually really good to take if you want to relax. Taking too much will absolutely fuck up your sleeping patterns though. I just take half a pill on weekends and relax playing video games for hours, getting engrossed in them like I am a kid again. It's fucking great. But I have to want to play video games before I take the tablet, otherwise I will get into really detailed arguments on this website and end up just wasting time.

that's just like me after my 24 year old birthday
maybe it's not Ritalin, maybe it's you that's growing up mentally

It's no more a waste of time than any other form of recreation. I had to cut down on my gaming this year due to increased workload and I tell you what life become much worse. Only just recently did I get back into playing vidya much more often and my life and mood has improved dramatically.

Ritalin and other smart drugs are basically cocaine. Pharma companies simply took the cocaine molecule and made a small change to it so that they could patent it. Each company has made its own different change to the same molecule so that everyone has its own patent. These changes are however small enough so that Ritalin, Paxil, Zoloft and all those others drugs still work like cocaine.

Pharma companies realized that a very small dose of cocaine (too small to change your mood and cause addiction) will make you more focused and concentrated. Cocaine stimulates the brain like adrenaline and to some degree also testosterone does. In case of danger these hormones make you concentrated and stimulate those parts of your brain that are responsible for basic survival. The result is that under the influence of Ritalin your brain can study like its life was depending on it. This will also enable you to go easier into your physical reserves and improve physical performance.

If you overdose then it will affect your mood and you will become less and less fearful. You will lose all doubt that you might fail at anything at all and start feeling invincible. This is supposed to make you ready for fight or flight. Then you start doing stupid risky shit in normal life that gets you into trouble and you always double down instead of taking a step back. Compulsive lying is also very common. Once you start feeling weak or inferior when you are off your drug then you know that you are getting addicted to it. At a really high dose you are still able to feel pain but the pain doesn’t bother you anymore.

Another effect is that while your survival instincts get stimulated everything else gets turned down to a lower level. You start caring less about other people, relationships, relaxing and fun. This is supposed to make you ready for fight or flight and possibly hurt somebody else. You also lose the ability to chill and enjoy life and become more focused on things that are in your head somehow related to your survival or sex. You become more focused on eating, drinking, fucking, making money, studying etc. You become more greedy and antisocial towards other people. And you become especially greedy towards these drugs of which you want more and more. This is another aspect of addiction that can start even under a normal dose.

Keep in mind that you brain works like there is a thread but there isn’t. Your brain and body are constantly ready to fight or flight but there is no real danger. A side effect is that some people become paranoid and their minds get filled with violent thoughts about wanting to kill some nonexistent enemies. Basically all school shooters were on these drugs as well as that one German Wings pilot that crashed a plane full of passengers into a mountain and Charles Whitman who was one of the first people to take those drugs.

And of course these drugs are all very bad for your liver and kidneys and you are probably shortening your life expectancy with these pills. And at higher dosages you do also damage to your heart and muscles.
