So it’s a thing huh? Every night I play a video game while watching a tv show and listening to a podcast
Are you able to actually consume the material? Can you follow along all three?
Yes, though it depends on the material. I don’t watch shows I have never seen, I tend to rewatch stuff a lot. Also I tend to drop the podcast if the game im playing calls for it, currently I’m playing Alan wake 2 so I like to be more focused while playing a game like that.
You have the sound on for all three normally or is it like, audio from podcast, video from show on second monitor, then main focus is game? I can't imagine the cacophony otherwise.
I have audio on all 3 to varying degrees depending on what I am focusing on most at that time. Some games you have to make the primary audio, but more casual games you don’t. but recently I’ve been watching old 80s and 90s wrestling so you don’t need that on full blast. I retain everything on the pods i listen to and it’s the only way I can put in gaming hours
Alright, cool.
😂 Alright! Is that an old interest or is it just for shits?
I tried watching modern wrestling and realized how much I hate it compared to the older stuff, so I decided to do a rewatch of wwf and wcw from as early as possible till around 2000 when it all died. Lots of hilarious shit in there that would not pass censor now
😄 I see. Thanks for chatting! Take care, friend.
I have the TV on and something on my phone when I play a game. Is it ADHD or just brain rot?

No not at all
😆 k, gotcha 👍 It's just comfort noise then?
No clue. I guess I just like background noise
Hey, whatever works!
Haha I am deeply in need of a change. At this point I can't get anything done without my ADHD meth. I don't like it.
❤️ Maybe there's help to get?
Thanks friend. I work with a Psychiatrist and a Therapist.
Once I got my ADHD diagnosis things got a bit better on the attention front. And my depression drugs are helping a bit.
Wish there was a magic cure.
Man... Yeah, me too.
Just know you have a purpose. Keep trucking! 💪🤟
♥️ thank you. Needed that today
