Does War2 drain anyone else?
« on: November 19, 2016, 05:17:49 AM »
One thing I've always noticed about myself from playing War 2 is how much it drains my energy.  I was thinking about this the other day when someone said "brb need coffee" and later, another person said they were falling asleep at the computer playing.  I cant imagine this at all.  Playing is normally really intense for me and if I play too long I'll feel like cracked out for awhile like I depleted all my endorphins or adrenaline or something.  Sometimes even if I eat right before playing, after I'll feel like I need to eat again.  This is a big reason I hate playing 1v1 series, I normally don't have the energy for more than 1-2, especially if they're intense games.  Then I see people on their steams and they're just calm as fuck like they're playing minesweeper or something.

Anyone else feel me?  At all????

I think youre experiencing something which is known in more populated and competetive environments as "ranked anxiety".
No, i dont have this problem.

I used to when I cared about whether I won or lost (like, 10-12 years ago). Now I feel no such anxiety - it might be why I get bored after 5 or 6 games.

OP you can counter this anxiety by jacking off while playing.

If that's not your kind of thing then another option you could try is to become one of those zen NoFap guys which will make you be at peace and also more in touch with your instincts and mother earth.

the game is mentally exhausting .. some games more than others.

i get drained sometimes.. but yeah, the more you allow yourself to become mentally/emotionally invested in the game/series the bigger the toll it takes imo

playing while drinking is the best. close to 0 fucks given. play for hours.
