Get some new material gay
I double click the .exe and then play the game.
>He tries to blot out the thoughts instead of letting them all play in his head simultaneously
Imagine. Seriously how do I have less thoughts it's become annoying
unironicly weed
>how do I solve a mental issue?
>start doing drugs
Shit advice
>weed
>drugs
if you have adhd it can be a great alternative for medication
i use it on weekends exclusivley so i can actually get shit done without my adhd bothering me
if youre a retard who smokes all day thats 100% on you and not the weed
Weed is a drug. And if it works for you then great. But the original bloke was asking for a way to stop constant thoughts. Drugs are a terrible way to stop those as a lot of people just get addicted to constantly blocking the thoughts. Also it doesn’t actually deal with them, it just blots them out temporarily
This doesn’t mean shit, most prescribed drugs for mental health are terrible for your body and they prescribe them at the drop of a hat. Some conditions need to be medicated but a good portion of them can be treated through alternative means (which require more effort but are healthier). Doctors lost a lot of legitimacy around mental health issues when they started saying chopping your dick off is healthy and normal
>outing yourself as a 4chantard
no further questions your honor
yourself as a 4chantard
>no further questions your honor
nothing more amusing to see than a seething 4chantard being called out and using their preprogrammed responses
Lmao I don’t even browse 4chan but nice cope retard. Other anon who replied to you isn’t me btw you schizo cunt
Stupid cunt
>nothing more amusing to see than a seething 4chantard being called out and using their preprogrammed responses
I find it hilarious that by your reckoning it’s a radical mindset to think that people chopping their dick off isn’t healthy
YWNBAW
weed doesn't "block" your thoughts though, unless of course you continue to neurotically consume every waking moment even while on weed. if not then it can enable you to actually face a lot of repressed cognitions. that's why some people have "bad trips" or "panic attacks". these are actually good for you.
doctors prescribe drugs all the time for mental issues so whats the problem here?
>not being a lobotomized golem is a mental issue
the garden gnomes were right, you are moron cattle
It’s a mental issue cus anon said it annoys him you stupid gay
Stupid braindamaged weedbrain, and yes, smoking a lot of weed definitely fucks with your brain and everyone who knows a weedbrain before and after smoking a lot of it can confirm this.
Can confirm I smoked myself retarded as a teenager and basically threw away my life. Don't see it getting any better cause I cant focus on shit now.
I have a fucking fictional universe with recurring characters in my head by now, make it stop, I can't concentrate for shit.
>make it stop
get some real friends bro
No. Humans are too shady, I canmot trust them to become my friends. Now give me my experimental antipsychotics or I'll cut you.
Write that shit bro , get the voices to pay there rent
I was thinking of making a videogame or, god forbid, starting a youtube vidya channel, but I'm too mentally ill right now to focus on such a task. Maybe later.
Start writing your thoughts. I suffer the same thing and it helps, unless I am completely overwhelmed by recent events.
At worst, you will get writer's block the moment you pick up the pen and paper. At best, you will create the new Ulysses. Either way, this should silence the voices.
I have been doing stories in my head for almost all my life. One of them took me 10 years to finish it.
With the TV on so I don't get lonely.
Same here. I thought about making it a real thing, but then I realized they're just a giant amalgamation of elements from several pieces of media I've consumed over the years. Also, writing is hard.
>With the TV on so I don't get lonely.
You live alone as well? I leave the TV on so it's like someone is in the living room.
Yeah, that's exactly why I do it.
do you guys also comment on what is happening on the screen like someone is listening to you?
You mean like I'm doing one of those hour long retrospective videos? Absolutely.
I mainly think the conversations but yeah all the time. Sometimes I pretend I'm talking to the people who used to be in my life or to an audience like the retrospective.
For me I always get distracted from the audiobook if I'm gaming, so I play them during the day or as I'm going to sleep but I also read books.
>For me I always get distracted from the audiobook if I'm gaming, so I play them during the day or as I'm going to sleep but I also read books.
It needs to be the exact right level of level of low engagement where you can play the game without having to really think about it, it can't be too engaging since like you said your attention gets taken away from the book.
You've never heard of meditation, anon? That's literally what it does. You just have to endure your thoughts for a few minutes and then they'll go away.
I can't speak for everyone, but this does not work at all for me. It makes me trapped in my head and I feel like a schizo.
Literally me
If I put my phone down for 5 minutes I become insanely depressed and angry. I looked in the mirror recently and I saw myself much older than I actually am for a split second and had a literal panic attack. If Ganker is not in my hand 24/7 I have mental breakdowns
You're 16 aren't you?
32
I have been terminally online since I was 13
covid lockdown made me this way too
i'm done for
actual fucking subhuman holy shit
I don't remember writing this post
please help me
>Newpipe
Based.
>please help me
Go see a professional.
please be satire
HAHHAHAH
US better ban tiktok, it's the normie Ganker
>If I put my phone down for 5 minutes I become insanely depressed and angry
This except it's cigarettes, why's literal poison gotta taste so satisfying man
Please quit anon, I’m an absolute mess of a human and I managed it so I bet you could too. You don’t realise just how damaging they really are until you’re off them
Oh I know, I saw my Granddad die of lung cancer, I know what's waiting at the end of this road.
I used to be the same, didn’t give a shit if I died of lung cancer. Then it started to hurt to breathe and now I’ll never smoke again, seeing an ENT in June but it’s likely I’ve permanently damaged my vocal cords. You will immensely regret what you’ve done when the damage is finally noticeable. Please quit for your own sake man
How old are you? I cut down on cigs when my lungs began to hurt but I never did quit. I still have like two a day, I just make sure to exercise instead.
Forgot to add that throat cancer is also a very real possibility for me. Please quit while you can mate
I smoke one cigar a day, I won't make it and I don't give a shit.
we're all dying at sixty bro
says you, I don;t drink or smoke, I need to live long enough to see all of you dead and Skynet incharge
Seek help. Literally I'm being serious. You have a phone addiction. Turn off the phone, go outside, embrace nature.
>nature
>shit city sidewalks and nig infested streets
lmao
Get a car, anon. You can go anywhere.
got repo'd
In which case, the depression isn't caused by putting your phone down, the phone's just a distraction. What'll actually help in the long run is engaging with and overcoming the financial issues which led to your car being repoed.
>these are the people you post with
Just put your phone down and face reality. You can't keep hiding from it for ever. If I try to supress my own conscience with distractions it eats away at me, it makes me feel like my soul is rotting. Fucking hell how can you do that? Put your phone down you sub human
Lmao I could throw mine out of the window.
Get a life, kid.
>his thoughts dont overpower any and all distractions
lol
lmao even
>always have extreme self awareness thinking I'm weird and the 1% of losers online
>see these posts
>realize I'm just a normal person and my fears are extremely overrated
Aging is normal
Constant entertainment and stimulation is not
Learn breathing exercises
Let your fear/anxiety pass through you and completely embrace it and you will see it cannot hurt you
Fighting it is what hurts you
I can't ai is replacing me already, it's ogre, only madness remains
it's not and you know it
Enlightened and truthpilled
>Let your fear/anxiety pass through you
What does this mean anon. I get these bouts of my body heating up , flares of anger and not being able to sit still.
How do I let it "pass" without doing bad thing? I've had this tick since I was little where I rub my face. It's caused a mark if you look close enough but it is a lot worse if I've just done it (hours until it fades)
>I get these bouts of my body heating up , flares of anger and not being able to sit still.
That's menopause
It means—
Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
—do you understand?
So, no practical, actionable, helpful advice then, just a 'really makes you think' thing from a sci-fi franchise
just ignore it bro, try some things, different for everyone I should think
for me it's just relaxing and accepting that it doesn't really matter
fuck you pseud, anxiety is the only truly authentic emotion.
>Always have music and random thoughts playing in my head
>In order to actually focus on my academic work I need to find background music that is just stimulating enough to drown out head noise while not being interesting enough to distract me
>Neither ADHD meds nor meditation have helped
I just want to turn off the fucking radio in my head
Dude that's normal. It's called having a monologue .
You're not supposed to take medication for that. Background music is meant to be just that .. background music. Everyone listens to BG music
It isn't a sign of ADHD
Eat more fast food and watch tv
congrats, you have undiagnosed ocd
I don't play video games.
same but i used to
anhedonia's a bitch
>game on primary monitor
>soundcloud playlist/steam library/youtube video/shitcord on secondary monitor
Usually? Pretty badly. However an odd occurrence happens I have noticed - after extended play I find I become less bad at a game and it confuses me as to why this happens. Does anyone have any insights?
Our brains over time adjust how they are filtering and processing information according to the task at hand.
I just get tunnelvision when playing or doing anything. Like anything else gets tuned out if I focus.
Can't watch a tv show while playing a game because I can't focus on both at once. Either I play and hear like 2 sentences from the tv show or I start watching and stop playing
Night time, lights off, other monitors off.
Someone explain to me why the fan is adhd related
just random backround noise
only the mentally ill want the room they're in to be cold
Having a fan blowing away from you doesn't make the room cold though
A fan raises the room temperature.
>only the mentally ill want the room they're in to be cold
come to south america and enjoy living at 38ºC from november to june without any AC gay
stimulates the body as if you are being touched
You could have used google or ChatGPT even better. White noises help with concentration for ADHD persons. Studies have shown that white noises and brown noises do that and can effect a person for their benefit
yeah this is oddly specific to me, i used to have my fan on 24/7 and i can't sleep without background noise
Autistic brain. Using a laptop laying on my side on the bed and with sound turned off
how did you know about the fan?
i literally cannot even put some music on while studying because i get completely distracted
I have a movie or a podcast on. I'm not sure if I have ADHD, I take ritalin to study but it only makes me sleepy so idk
1 screen me and the bideo game, only way to immerse thyself, anything else is coping, see
Some games are kind of mediocore and dont even deserve full immersion.
If it's mediocre, why play? Why not play something good, or do something else be like watch a film, or paint, or exercise?
check this out, good games are too good, take too much attention
shitty mindless games are better for distraction
it's a sick world I know
How anon? Ritalin makes me feel like I drank 5 redbulls and I could see an atom in thin air if I focused on a spot hard enough.
It's probably because it's only 18mg so it's not high enough dose to have any effect
I have adhd but I don't like anything going on besides the game I'm playing. I can't focus on multiple things at once and I block out background noise. I hate having a fan on and I can't have anything on my second monitor going.
Same here, most of the time I try to focus on what I'm doing and even background music distracts me, let alone a podcast or a movie.
>fan that hasn't been turned off in three years
15 years for me. It's on when I'm gaming (so 8 hours a day). When I sleep (8 hours a day). It's only off when I'm at work.
>podcast / music
Depends on the game. Something slow like an MMO it's fine but anything else it's weird.
>two movies at the same time
just weird
Most games I play without any other kind stimuli as I want to actually experience the game and not be distracted. But if I'm playing something just to chill in the evening and relax, I listen to cute asmr girls or some youtube video in the background. Never liked listening to music as I play vidya though, I don't get that, just seems very distracting
The ADHD meme is actual ADHD though, you're just a dopamine addict because you were raised by TV and video games
>Addicted to ASMR girls
>Insists ADHD isn't real
>console warrior
You're never going to make it.
>you're just a dopamine addict because you were raised by TV and video games
And listening to music 24/7
Before modern society you were not supposed to receive continuous dopamine shots just by putting electronic devices in your ears, nowadays people can just tune the most precooked K-slop from anywhere at anytime; can't be healthy
Why are tendies the only fan base that ever looks like they’re having fun?
because they are the only fanbase that has fun
pedophiles are very childish
Why does the internet have such a skewed meaning of conditions like autism and adhd?
I NEED VALIDATION
because none of them are real
>ooooh i have like adhd! that makes it hard for me to focus and stuff! my internet test said so!
it's just another thing zoomies do for attention
Tard
Retard and armchair psychologists
I have ADD and I only ever stick on a video on the other monitor if I am playing a (single player) game I have already played or grinding. If you had actual ADD/ADHD you would know it's fucking impossible to play a multiplayer game while you have a video playing on the other monitor. Also impossible to focus on cutscenes, puzzles, text and just about anything that needs proper focus.
I tend to avoid acting like in the right.
It has been proven that if you multi task "entertainment" you end up dumbing your brain down, since even though you are "multi-tasking entertainment" you end up focusing on nothing.
This is why pc gaming is the ultimate cancer.
There's always something else you could do in the meantime.
I own a 4080 build, but I end up enjoying playing Gen 6 games on OG hardware more.
You can't get distracted if there is no way too get distracted.
Later gens also don't really work, since quick resume and digital games. The fact that you can play something different or whatever will always be in the back of your mind.
Thanks for reading my blog
bait
>You can't get distracted if there is no way too get distracted
Uhm, yes you can? It's called ADHD bro.
>It has been proven
>You can't get distracted if there is no way too get distracted
Heh, try me.
As one of those attention deficit zoomer fags, they only do it because all they do is consume slop incapable of stimulating their brain on its own. I used to put on this kind of shit when I did godawful menial MMO tasks on autopilot. Now that I play games I actually find engaging on their own I don't have to engage in this gayry, my brain is having a good time with just one task.
>me when I play video games alone vs me when I'm on call with my gf
i stream on twitch so i dont have to feel weird about commenting my own gameplay
the fan isn't adhd
it's literally just tinnitus
Fuck you, if I turn my fans off I'll melt.
This country is aids.
>27% of the year
If it's a game with long periods of no story-related dialogue/cutscenes or passages of text I need to focus on I'll listen to a podcast whilst I play.
How can zoomers both be overqualified wrecks who spend 25 hours a day studying for useless degrees and complete messes who can't focus on something for five minutes?
I literally don't get it. You'll meet a chick and she'll go 'yeah I'm doing my doctorate at neurochemopsychodatabullshit' and then proceed to be the dumbest bitch you've met in your life.
All my life I have only focused in the game that I'm playing at the moment. Since I'm old and bored and depressed now, I'm going to get a second monitor to watch chill streams and videos while I complete games I already played.
>Go anywhere in public
>Toddlers have tablets on youtube or tiktok in front of them at all times
Wonder how they'll all turn out
Not well. Years ago my mum's work friend had a 5 year old who couldn't speak because he spent all his time staring at some screen.
I'm actually excited.
All I have to do is raise my kids without a tablet and they'll automatically stand head and shoulders above the mass of retards. Anybody who says now is the worst time to raise a kid is bullshitting you. It's never been easier to raise the equivalent of a mentat.
unironically based kid
imagine training your brain from a young age to absorb more information
except it isn't
Hes not absorbing information tho its just football highlights and minecraft
>not using the thumb on his hand holding the phone to scroll to optimize his wolf spamming
never going to make it
>Not posting the real webm
>hitting the catcha like a spazz
Heh
literally me
>multitasking is le BAD
>oh btw Starcraft is awesome!
Boomer logic.
That's not multitasking, statecraft is ensuring multiple tasks are simultaneously running. Your task is to check that each other task is where it should be relative to the strategy and issue queued commands to course correct as needed. It's a glorified loading bar manager.
Does freak me out how he likes the videos as soon as his reaction time kicks in, doesn't even watch them
jesus christ he is so fucked
I wouldn't think so. He seems like his brain is more active than anything.
He's not actually accomplishing anything on either device. Scrolling to videos then looking away and not watching them. Spamming his finger on the tablet to spawn pet wolves in creative mode minecraft.
This doesn't develop into anything useful to him in any form.
He might think it's impressive for the video. Like how DSP tried playing fighting games and a single player game at the same time. Stuff like this is usually staged and not a legitimate view into their life.
Yeah I get that. You gotta at least hope it's staged. But legit a little disturbing that there are people that see that and unironically think 'that would be fine, no problem'.
I grew up with Newgrounds celebrity murder flash games and ended up fine.
i'm sure you believe that, Ganker Ganker user
Arguably better than a Twitter or Reddit user.
Sure, but you actually played them. You didn't just mash the screen aimlessly while simultaneously not-doing some other task on another device.
Still, I'm not turning this into 'that kid is definitely screwed'. Maybe it's staged or maybe it's not ordinary behavior for him. But if it's actually how he interacts with devices and engages with media, there's a serious problem there that will have negative repurcussions in his development and ability to thrive.
>Yeah I get that.
And yet you're choosing to pretend otherwise to get mad / outraged. You've become the christan mothers whining about people playing vidya cause it's the devil and other stupid shit without knowing what the people are actually doing
>hitting the wolves for no reason
I can't relate to this I just get information overload if I've got multiple things going at once. My usual situation is having just one thing but constantly getting distracted by my own thoughts instead.
I sold my 2nd monitor because it was impossible to focus on what I was playing
when its a good game and worth paying attention to, left. right when its 2nd or 3rd rate shit where i dont care about anything but gameplay
>eats 10 peoples worth of sugar a day
>DOOD I HAVE ADHD!!!!
The right but no fan and also with my cat on my lap.
>Have ADHD
>There's a white noise machine in my room that is on at almost all times.
Haha
3 years? my fan hasn't been turned off in at least 10
If the game has good music or I need to concentrate at least a bit, im just playing the game.
However, if im grinding in this game because im helping my wife, it's podcast time
>f im grinding in this game because im helping my wife
bro you gay
how is anon gay? Women who just want to game are so low maintenance.
This game is a REAL grind, it's a 100% about crafting and cooking (which are the same thing), and nothing else. Plus, my wife always forgets to check the quickest ways to farm materials and just wants to unlock the new characters, so im helping her.
I played over 80hs of animal crossing and, while dreamlight valley has SOME quality of life mechanics, there are many soulless things that really detract from the magic of these games
QoL
>Can craft in bulks
>Materials/ingredients screen tells you where to find them
Soulless things
>No museum to see all the fish you catch, only a ticked box in a menu
>Nothing but crafting, characters give you missions all the time and it's just so tiresome, it never ends.
>Runs like shit, always stuttering and used to freeze a lot
>Some vegetables take over an hour to grow, if you're no there when it happens, the plant rots and you have to do it again
>No other locations except some small areas where you find the new characters for the first time and you never go back there. You are always on the same island
>Fucking stamina bar, in a farming game, this bar is absolutely unnecessary when im just doing menial tasks all the time. Why limit how much i can fish or mine, eating lemons is the most efficient way to replenish, but why have a stamina bar in the first place
idk, it's just a grindy game for girls, but it should be better or at least run better. Also, the critters are so fucking useless, why cant i have flounder or jaggo or sven follow me around
>
Videos or podcasts in the background
>more intense game or plot heavy segment
Focus on the game
Unironically this is the best answer
>he doesn't let himself be terrorized by horrible thoughts that push him to become a better person
wow he is just like me!
You aren't actually doing anything except wasting time. All studies on multitasking show that comprehension is ruined too. And don't say it's a skill because people who multitask are actually worse at multitasking then those who don't.
>The findings, based on performances and self-evaluations by about 275 undergraduate students, suggest many people multitask not out of a desire to boost productivity, but because they are easily distracted and can't focus on one activity. And those people turn out to be the worst at juggling different things, the researchers said.
Ignore the opinion of anyone who games or watches movies like this because they aren't actually comprehending anything.
I agree with everything except the nonstop fan. It's essential for muffling noise when you live with others or in an apartment with thin walls. I just want to fap in peace without the thought of someone hearing me.
how the fuck do you play a game like civ or cities or wow without having a stream or something in the background though
I leave the news channel on the tv while i play so i can at least know the major stuff happening and can hide my power level during the week.
In my 30s and three of my friends have gotten themselves diagnosed with ADHD, Mostly happy days, because their pills seem to make them much better at counter strike.
However they won't fucking stop talking about adhd and how every little thing they do or don't do is because of "their adhd". I've known these people for more than a decade, they really don't need to keep explaining themselves.
It's because it's something they can use to give excuses or make themselves seem special.
My best friend is rapidly becoming not that for exactly the same behaviour, but autism. It's like once they have a scapegoat then that's it for every little thing.
>mindless grinding or simple game
Videos or podcasts in the background
>more intense game or plot heavy segment
Focus on the game
I only time I have other things playing during a game is when I'm doing grinding or something similar. Examples: mining and building in Minecraft.
Not great.
here is me

Living in the modern world is so tedious
Used to be right, but am now more left because I like to focus on the game.
I just rock back and forth in my chair while I game.
my mother in 30 years
your mom's still looking for cock?
yes
don't stick it in crazy broads
I want to fuck your mother
depends on the game. If sound is an integral part of my experience I only play the game. If I don't need the sound (something like RLCS for instance) I have youtube on my second screen.
For me it's
depends on game
if im hardcore gaming ranked league i put music on and play
if im playing fps multiplayer that isnt hardcore i put yt on, if it is (like sound is a big part of game like hunt shodown) i play on mute and maybe have an art stream to look at while bored
if i play solo campaign i only listen to shit while grindan or running old sections of a level like in a dark souls type arpg
dungeon crawlers always need something to listen to since its not too taxing mentally, ideally same for the 4 n***az in a row type rpgs
loud games like doom need nothing to accompany it
the fan got me
fuck you
ADHD is being canvassed on social media to make more stupid young mothers think it's real and push drugs onto their kids.
Turn off in-game sounds while listening to political discussions on youtube etc
autism test
>my dinner with andre
kudos to the maker of this vid
I just got up and stood around in my living room with my dad on the computer because I'm fucking desperate for social interaction and have no friends
He asked me why I never talk to him and I just made a noise
He asked me who I talked to all day and I said no one and he called me a liar
suck his dick, show him who's the boss
Thank you for more posts like this
The internet and society have totally indoctrinated me to think if I'm not on voice chat all day every day with irl friends I'm a loser
typing is fine, why would I want o talk to anyone all day, shit is tiring just imagining it
genuine advice, make the effort to talk to your dad while he still cares. it'll probably be awkward as fuck but just try. I am completely alienated from my parents and it fucking sucks
I've tried and it just goes in one ear and out the other
he is a shit father
idk, talk about what he likes for a change
This is the only "white noise" in existence that I can tolerate while doing something else https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Xv0mJkHpw
just watch space videos
I love nature ones too, especially with coral reefs and shit like that.
Depends on the game, if im grinding or farming i usually have music or a podcast on but i can't imagine having another screen on with something else playing unless maybe a chat window.
I have to have a twitch stream playing on the other monitor when I'm playing.
I generally play games where the player actually has to pay attention.
I also like watching films so I can be immersed, I do not understand why you'd want to watch two simultaneously.
i play binding of isaac with a podcast because the game doesn't take 100% of my focus to play. it's very comfy.
If a game doesn't hold my attention by itself I drop it tbh. I use fast forwards and skips every moment I'm allowed and minimize any time spent playing that isn't active thinking.
I kind of get zoomers because their games are 50% waiting in lobbies or trudging mindlessly through menus, holding up on a stick while a conversation plays out, or traversing some empty field with nothing in it.
So I AM mentally ill
No surprise, but nice to know
how do I convince myself to go get help for my real, identifiable mental illnesses that cause me immense suffering instead of being gaslight by my boomer family that I'm just a lazy and worthless piece of shit that needs to pull up my bootstraps and say mental illness isn't real
who cares, just don't fuck yer mother like Chris-chan
live yer life and try not to a freak all teh time
convince them by taking a bat to teh TV during dinner, makes sure to tear off your clothing and scream alot
You go and get helpe despite them. They are literally hurting your chances of makingit right now.
Lmao, losers.
Thanks for making me feel better.
I'm kinda shit, but at least I'm not mental.
Remember me?
I cut from 200 open tabs to 100-120. Was lower than 50 for a week, but too many compelling threads to read.
Bookmarks increased again. If I count them all the way back across a decade and the old pc and all the browsers it's around 500k.
Over 420k (>250gb) files of 4chin thread pics and screencaps.
What's your IQ, after consuming all that information?
The worst I do is I will sometimes listen to a podcast while I am playing something chill like Minecraft, or maybe even music instead. Sometimes I might listen to something when I am playing a not so chill game, but doing chill things in it, but as soon as the game requires my full concentration I will pause what I am listening to. I can't pay attention to music or a conversation when my attention is on combat in game but I can if I am exploring or building or what ever the fuck. Also I can't listen to music AND a conversation, unless the podcast or video is some shallow stupid shit that doesn't engage my cognition. But even if I can, I don't really want to. I don't know how you would do all three
ADD isn't real you fucking losers. Shut off your devices for a few days and get so bored you can read a book. Fix your brain you actual morons.
It's not hard just takes a little bit of willpower instead of burning yourself on constant stimulation
2 doesn't exist, fuck off and take your meds.
I play good video games like the guys on left, and I play shit video games like the guy on the right.
I unironically enjoy playing "turn your brain off" games while listening to audiobooks. I tend to get a little bit bored just listening to the book normally, but if I'm doing a simple activity in a game like grinding that I don't have to think about I can keep up with the book without getting distracted or losing interest. Just finished listening to The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty, great book and great film.
Yes I am retarded and autistic and incapable of reading a book like a normal person.
Im retarded and have autism and I can read books just fine
If I'm playing a multiplayer shooter - co-op or competitive, doesn't matter which - which doesn't rely too much on sound cues for gameplay, I'll generally put some DnB, jungle or trance mixtapes on. Really gets me into the flow of things.
Same. Psytrance is goated for fast paced, flow-state games and activities
Progressive trance for me, personally

That explaaaaains everything
left except I never have gamerphones on
everyone hates you, have a nice day dude
everybody loves you, kiss yourself qtie
This just seems like you are running from something.
How about you face your demons instead of running like a coward?
i wish i could multitask, i can't watcha nd play games at once unless the game is low attention intensive
If the game doesn't require your full concentration at nearly all times, it's probably a shit game.
>implying
Some games you have to think the next move and sometimes taking a short break helps.
I like having youtube on while I play multiplayer games. I'm trying to fix that though, my attention span has turned to shit.

>have just ended up staying in bed for 12-13 hours either sleeping or using phone
hello from my bed
i dont see what the problem is unless you are some kind of glowmoron gay trying to record audio
Perhaps the problem is you're a vegetated nonthinking consumer, yeah that might be it
>bro you watch a youtube video in the background while playing a game?
>YOU'RE LITERALLY A NONTHINKING NON-PERSON!
You people are so delusional and are longing so so hard to be special.
no actually it's completely normal to have a voice in your head talking to you, like in the movies and tv, shut up cuck im smarter than you
Of course an inner monologue is normal, tard. No one said otherwise. The point is you can focus on multiple things at once without it being an issue unless you're functionally retarded.
I just play the game normally with no distractions, aside from discord on my 2nd monitor with only a private server with my friends to talk shit.
I get up every so often to get more cold water.
