Playing distracted
-
So, I've come to the realization that I'm always distracted while playing. Does anyone/everyone else have this problem? I'm always amazed how streamers can play well and also pay attention to their chat at the same time. Granted, I don't watch much streamers, but when I do, it's crazy they can play well and chat at same time.
We have a "gaming station" if you will that has my PS5 right next to my son's Xbox. He's so loud and he's talking constantly. It drives me up the wall and I notice I dont play as well when he's there. Play a little better if he's in school or later at night.
Does everyone else have this issue? Seems like it's always something for me (and when it's not, its usually my brain going a mile a minute on other stuff). Do you all play through distractions?

I'm sorry. I missed that. What were you saying?

I think he was saying he doesn't like his kid and he would rather be a streamer than a father.

My son is autistic, and whenever he watches me play, he talks non-stop (also every other second of the day, but that's another story). He's always asking if this player or that player is dead (made the mistake of telling him that while trying to explain B&W pictures). "How many dead guys on your team? Is this guy dead? Why is his picture in colour if he's dead? Show me a card of a dead guy! What did he die of?" LOOK KIDDO I DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE OF DEATH OF EVERY HUMAN BEING ON EARTH!! GO TO YOUR ROOM! I still don't know when or how he finds time to breathe.

This could easily be a problem. I remember one really tight game I was playing against WoodzisGood who is no slouch. I took a phone call and got mercy ruled that inning.
It’s not all that serious but if your wanting to play well distractions don’t help, watching TV while playing is worth the slight decrease in batting average if you ask me tho

Hahaha. Not quite.

I think we all get distracted by our children. I have two boys. Will be 14 and 10 this May.
You really should have separate space for each person gaming. If you can't, then you need to accept the distractions and live with it. If the distractions are too much, then gaming should not be getting done IMHO.
Kids learn by example, not by instructions. Whatever environment you create and how you react to it, will rub off on them.

Oh. They’re good kids and it’s not like I’m getting mad at him or giving him a bad example. Truth be told, we put the games next to each other as a bonding time.
I just wish I could play undistracted. Haha. Know what I mean?

I have some cats that meow while I’m playing until I comb them. Literally doing their kill call next to me while trying to hit a 102 fastball...doesn’t go well for me but they get combed out of it.

I’m so sorry I created this thread. Ha

My black lab loves to play catch. And he gets REAL confused when I play. I can't use certain camera angles without him launching himself at my tv.
