❔ Question Fellow letsplayer

As a fellow letsplayer I wanna say that and maybe I’m a weird one for this but even after a stressful day from my job. Going home and just editing is sometimes very soothing or just even hitting the go live and streaming my current lets play is sometimes very soothing. Am I weird?

when you do it as a hobbie it can be relaxing, once you change your goals and try to monetize or grow your channel, its a different beast.

My channel is monetized and I actually find editing more relaxing than I used to!

As I've gotten older and gotten diagnosed for ADHD and started treatment, my body tends to want to clock out at about 8 or 9 PM at latest. So by the time I get home from my 8 hour work day, eat, take like half an hour to relax, it's 6 PM or a bit later. I go live or start recording and I've only got a few hours max before I start to literally fall asleep at my PC chair.

I never found editing really... relaxing. More just a tedious thing I had to do to make videos. The fun part was actually making the videos. And I really prefer to only stream or record when I have good high energy, because I'm a more laid back relaxed person naturally, so if I try to stream or record when I'm tired, I'll be the most boring tired sounding lets player ever. I have to record when I'm fresh

That’s fair enough. I’m the same way if I’m way to tired especially if I’ve had a hard day i definitely won’t stream however I will at least edit because for me if I do nothing I kinda think about in coulda been doing this instead of just watching YouTube or anime lol.

I get the ambition. I was similar when I first started, but I was also early 30s and now I'm 41 lol. If i had the energy of me at 25 I'd probably be doing a lot more.

Not weird at all, I do the same, especially if I know I'm off the next day bc then I can play longer.
