oh yeah thats really interesting!!! i dont think im ready to fully quit like that but ill try to only use it when i actually have nothing else to do or something

no idea, but i feel like i have a little bit of adhd? a guy i watch on youtube has adhd and i can relate to some things he says

i really dont think im dihpressed, and gaming on my own doesnt really feel pointless, its just that im procrastinating starting a game on my own lowkey

i think its mostly that i just watch youtube all day and its obviously really stimulating, so it kinda makes my mind “numb?”, and i dont really feel stimulated from games since im used to flashy old youtube

dont think thats my thing, and i mostly play on older consoles + i dont want to buy even more games since i already have so many

why are people downvoting this 😭

i dont think thats the case for me cause i love like everything gaming, but its just hard to get into the actual game (i mostly play on older consoles btw)

i know that i like singleplayer games, and i do enjoy them but most of the time i either just stop after a couple of minutes or never even start in the first place

i WANT to play them, but i just cant and i dont know what it is

maybe its that i watch youtube all day? or is it that my friends barely wanna hangout so the best thing i have is playing with them online?

i dont think that would work since my backlog is huge, and ive started a good chunk of em, i just never get any further for most of them

i honestly dont really know myself

theres still hope twin, if you, for example (not saying that you or me should do this, its just for demonstrational purposes): if you quit youtube and stuff entirely and dont go back, it will most definitely improve your overall mental state and such. keep going at it 🥹❤️‍🩹

edit: im not saying that you need to quit, just try to minimize the stimulation. to start off, maybe try playing games without a youtube video playing or atleast switch it out for music, and try to watch less stimulating videos like mrbreast (extreme example) and more like some dude talking about a game for 30 minutes (kinda extreme too)

yeah sure, but that just feels so sloppy to do and probably fries my brain to a crisp 😭

ooo thats true, maybe ill try something like that, also my backlog is huge and i have too many consoles (im not tryna flex this is for info)

its almost exactly the second one, i really really want to play my singleplayer games and i know they’re fun and i do enjoy them, but i just can’t really get into it or even start at all. maybe i need to watch less youtube

yeah i actually think its a 65% anyway 🥀

dont worry man, found a fix using my streamdeck

SOLVED: i used the simulate input action on opendeck and set it to f7. yes i have a streamdeck

its says that it “does not seem to respond like a VIA-enabled keyboard.”. Is there any firmware i need to install or something?

me me big boy

there is one key i barely use so thats not an issue, and i have a steamdeck. i dont think the virtual keyboard would be good for this program tho

aahh gotcha gotcha ill try that thanks
