My three step program to enjoying gaming:
1. Do what you enjoy.
2. If you're not enjoying it, change what you're doing.
3. There is no step three.
Hshahaha Step 3, repeat Steps 1 and 2
4. Step 3 is irrelevant
Not sure what you did with the camera/post production, but the whole video made me feel like my glasses were dirty. I do love this kind of positive video.
Haha thanks Seb!
I have a lens that makes a Vaseline-y soft look. I have been trying to push the bokeh, but 2 of my sets have limited depth. I’m working on it for next time!
@@CornerCase If you want that blurry look then adjust your camera aperture, it just looks like it affects the whole thing which does not look good at all. Still, I enjoyed the video and agreed with a lot of what you said!
I just found you and I subbed not because I like Warhammer, not because you have an friggin' awesome jacket, not because of your stupid sick microphone, not because of your advice.
But only because of your dope Carhartt beanie. Awesome video.
LOLOL Thanks Assassin! Yeah! The brand is strong! XD
My wife loves Marie Kondo and her book is how i justify half of my hobbying! Nicely done, Dek
LOL Thanks Meetchee! This comment sparks joy!
Problem with the Marie Kondo approach is... they all bring me joy :)
LOLLLL.
First of all, skin lookin GUUUUUUUUDT, Dek! Glowing, flourishing, thriving~
Second of all, this video brings up a lot of problems that can make one feel fatigue for any hobby. You know how I feel about fanfiction, etc, and when getting into a new fandom, I (like others) tend to over-consume fanfic for that fandom (like how you discuss collecting). Then the creation aspect, as well, can cause fatigue, because of pressure to create something other people will enjoy, while also being grammatically correct, while also being original.
Great video to cause reflection and to discover what triggers burnout for all types of hobbies 💖
LOLLLL thanks ate!
I feel that collection pressure so much. I've ended up with Chalnath, Octarius, and Into the Dark - all of which are sitting on the shelf still in pristine condition. Pile of shame or future video content?
Also - *first* 🤪
Also also - I love the fuzzy filter footage, it looks so gooood.
Haha thanks Cam!
Yeah I saw a meme that called me out that went like - “content creator mistakes poor impulse control for good content” 😂
I highly agree: don't feel bad for buying mini that you just want to paint, with no playing in mind. But also: don't buy when FOMO...
Great video!
Thanks as always Patryk! Minis are their own joy lolll
second watch while I was painting my Morats and you are right on all the points! I am changing up my order to work on a passion project just because I want to work on it. May or may not see the table, but I want to get it done to see it thru?
I feel so called out,
• I've collected stuff I won't use and don't want to paint.
• Haven't wanted to paint for fun in awhile I'm definitely burnt out
• keep getting stuff for the games I play and for upcoming events but still don't paint em..
• I like SM Reavers 😭 they're cool I don't care if they *suck* they're so cool
Sick vid cool to see the channel growing
Haha thanks Hero-Fan!
I was basically calling myself out in this video 😂.
Is that jubilee in your profile pic? Love jubilee. I’ve been playing a lot of Marvel Snap, and she’s in every deck I play rn
@@CornerCase hell yeah it is! She's my fav X-Men can't wait for her to be in MCP
Great video once again, Dek, thank you for sharing!
One thing I think is worth expanding on but was worth glossing over for this specific vid: you said that games are more fun when you're winning, and while this is broadly true, I don't think I'm alone in finding games fun as long as I've always got a chance of winning. Personally, I can enjoyably lose five games in a row if victory was a close-cut thing and both players had a chance of winning throughout, but I get miserable if I lose just one game on the first or second turn and feel like I wasted my time even setting up. Likewise, on the rare occasions that I secure a one-sided victory for myself, it's definitely more fun than a one-side defeat, but I'm left with a bitter taste in my mouth knowing that my opponent probably had a miserable time (I do try not to put the boot in if I can but it's also good not to deliberately and obviously play worse, I think, as I know when that happens to me it makes me feel condescended and even more miserable).
Thanks! Yeah, Infinity is super international. Pretty cool.
Wish more people would forget the 'eLiTiSt cOmPeTiTivE 'mentality infecting every aspect of our gaming.
The best part of hobby is to chill tf out after work all day, chuck on some dungeon synth and build/paint ur mini's while dreaming of epic-galactic battles... 💀💀💕💕
Lol thanks hailgoats! Actually, after this video, I spoke with some guys in the community, and I think I'll do a video for competitive gamers soon. They're a reallly misunderstood group!
I need some How-To with Infinity TTS. Primarily with loading tables. Would love a show on this.
Thanks as always, Joel! We're working on this, actually!
I hate being in a rut, I feel that overwhelming pressure of not getting things done. Especially after big purchases or after starting a big build.
I have a large piece of terrain I started in March 2022. It's in a box in the craft room. At night I can hear it calling to me.
In November I picked up the nightmare crew for Lady Justice in m3e, December I picked up Scrapyard too. All are waiting, but I have no motivation to start our complete anything.
Thing is I'm not good at gaming. It's taken a couple decades to accept and acknowledge. Currently I'm deciding on whether to continue or sell it all off.
Thanks for sharing Krux!
I’m sorry about that! Sounds like you’re in a lot of emotional debt to your projects!
I think I’d take a page out of Uncle Atom’s book and say-you don’t have to be the best at the hobby or at gaming to enjoy it!
I hope you are able to find excitement in the hobby again! If you need a fresh start, then follow your heart! We’ll always be here for you!
When I moved several states away from the group I played 40K with I feel like I became more of a collector. I think I played a few games of 8th. Still have not played a game of 9th. Same with other games. I would love to learn more about TTS.
Thanks Brian!
My buddy and I gave OPR a try via TTS, and TBH it was pretty fun. Almost like the real thing. It's definitely a learning curve, but if you just wanna get in reps, or hangout with a buddy, it's really not a bad option if you're stuck at home or too far.
We're working on a TTS video.
Honestly play the game you want to play and dont just follow the group.
I folowed the community last year and played conquest. I got burn out because I had to paint huge régiment,play competitive match weekly,lore qwsnt attractive and so on.
I decided to play what I wanted and not following the gaming group. Best thing ever.
I might not have game every week but I hobby every day since the last 2 week, I'm excited about the lore,building terrain, learning new and original games.
Thanks for sharing Robin!
Haha yeah! Super relatable. You know part of what pushed me into Infinity was I played a narrative 40K league for a month, and even though I liked the guys a lot, it was just super not fun for me XD. Even getting my ass whooped in Infinity every week, I'm still super happy playing and painting it
I gave me the permission that tabletop is just my hobby for autumn and winter, in Sommer it’s too hot for painting and assembling for me.
It reduces the stress for me 😅
Marie Kondo!
I have several armies table of ultimate gaming terrain all codexes just nobody to play with
Thanks Ezekarion!
I feel that! I have Moonstone, but I’d have to teach friends if I want to play it! I’ve come to terms that sometimes, the models are their own joy. It’s ok to just be happy with them.
That being said, I hope you find a nice group for yourself one day!
@Corner Case Thanks brotha I got 3 Son's so when they get of age I'll just "Make" them play toy soldiers with me 😆 🤣
Omg, you’re my best friend?! 🥰
lol duh
I bought too many skaven clanrats please help
LOLLLLLLL invite a buddy for a jam sesh 😂. Makes it go by mad quick
1. Dont play bad games, like 40k or AoS right now. Just enjoy better tabletop systems.
Lolllll I didn’t want to muddy my message of “play what you like” with something like facts 😂
