>Have to check each individual treasure chest despite being fine on resources>Replaying entire levels because you missed one thing (all it does is give extra points)>Testing each individual setting and then going with the default values anyways>Starting a fresh save because "something didn't feel right">Buying a game and waiting for the "right time" to start playing it>Organizing a backlog, not looking at it for a week, deleting the whole thing>Cleaning your controllers and dusting your consoles every week as if it matters>Reading every individual item on patch notes, getting mad when it says "and many more small changes!">Waiting until you're "good enough" at the game offline to play online with other people
>>732276495kino, also>download a game but worry that the files are corrupted after every updoot on steam, so always re-run file verification after updates manually>when downloading and installing pirated games always stress about file corruption or viruses despite using virustotal and hash file checking it during install>every morning on boot of pc make sure to run through all updates on all programs and make sure to run dism and sfc>when playing vidya and feeling like i went too brain-off and "missed" important stuff or didnt focus on the story so i restart the game to do a "perfect" run and save then give up on the game as replaying the parts i played is boring>mod the game and instantly after 2 hours feel like its wrong and dirty and i have to redo everythinggemmy
>>732276495>>Starting a fresh save because "something didn't feel right"this is the worst one especially in sandbox games because it could be literally anything at any time. i could bomb out a tunnel the wrong way in terraria and all of a sudden i barely even want to play anymore because i know i cant put it back the “right” way and just continuing to play feels weird. just a weird impulse i have to fight i guess
>>732276495>save game>"Oh wait, did I save yet?">save game againIt happens way too often. My friends watch me stream games and wonder why I keep saving 2-3 times over and over again.
>download and start new game>go to options>turn all effects off and put all settings on lowevery time
>>732276495That's not OCD you retard. You've just fallen for jewish tricks and fried your dopamine so you get little hits each time you loot a box
>>732276495>Have to check each individual treasure chest despite being fine on resources>checkNot enough. I must leave them open. Even if it's the lowest quality potion, if I have them maxed already, I'll throw one out, or if it's not possible, I'll deliberately get hit, use one and then pick up the one from the chest.
>stress going through the graphic settings and worrying that i'll set something wrong and not properly max it out so i have to recheck it atleast 2-3 times as i dont want to experience the game the wrong and inferior wayanother classic from my brain
>>732276495The classic>Shoot one bullet>Reload the pretty much full mag
>>732277112I liked doing this in the past just to see what it looks like.
>>732276495For me it's >Min max resources like health, ammo and stat buffs to the point of never using most of them for the entire game, and finishing the game with a brimming inventory.
>making sure i read through and collect every book/codex, that quickly turns into collecting every item at least 1 copy>making sure i do every quest, even checking on the internet for list of all quests>if its a game like skyrim and i kill npcs, i move their bodies so their deaths look aesthetic and properly placed and not retarded, also i dont loot houses because if i want to revisit them i wouldnt know what was placed in which house canonicallyi do this
How the fuck do you people even function in day to day life?
I used to replay dialogue in Fallout 3 and New Vegas over and over again because I felt my attention slipped and I missed like half a sentence, being an ADHD retard that isn't medicated doesn't help, so sometimes I'd be stuck in a conversation with a character for like 30 minutes because I restarted the dialogue like 15 times. I used to really cling to the idea of total immersion and my attention slipping would break away from the game world and that would make me seethe which is why I would do these things over. I also rewatched cutscenes if the same thing happened, and if the game wouldn't let me I'd fail the mission or resort to rewatching it on youtube after it was over. Then eventually somewhere down the line I just gave up on this idea of always paying attention to the thing I'm watching, because it just doesn't work with my brain. I'm simply too retarded
>>732276495>[Empty]>open it anyway to make sure the empty is there
>>732277394We don't anon
>>732276495>Have to check each individual treasure chest despite being fine on resourcesI don't think having the curiosity to explore and find out what the devs placed in each treasure chest really counts as OCD, that's just normal human behaviour rather than some deep decision-making regarding if you have enough shit to survive or not.
>>732277394Function? Lmao
>>732277438For me it was abusing the shit out of idiot savant so I can get MAX XP for ANY action that gave me XP. No bonus? Reload save.
>Skip all redistributables provided by Steam>Install them manually myself
>>732277438you are so fucking based, i do the same, i hate the idea that my brain doesnt soak in every single little detail in the game, so i try to go through every dialogue option and make sure im locked in and digesting it properly, often times causing me to just forfeit like 2-3 hours of play and restart my save as i feel like i didnt do it properly. BASED RETARDS UNITED
>>732276495>pick a dialogue choice>wait until cutscene ends and reload save>try out all the other dialogue choices one by one>look up a guide to see if this dialogue choice influences anything else later in the game
>>732277438>>732278029>>732278183How the fuck do I stop being like this bros? It's absolutely fucking exhausting..>sitting like 10 fucking minutes with the game paused and thinking about what a character said because I'm not sure if I actually understood it
>>732276970>hit f5>hit esc and manually click quicksave>hit esc and manually hit save instead and manually choose a different file>hit esc and manually hit save and choose different files from before>click exit game>WARNING: MAKE SURE YOU SAVE BEFORE QUITTING THE GAME>start process over
only OCD thing in gaming i'll do is restarting a playthrough (if im not far in) if i wait too many days to play it after starting iti played gothic 2 recently and started the first 1-2 hours over like 4 times because i kept putting off playing it
>>732276495fucking hate when there is a notification in-game for unread messages/lore texts and even though I went through all of them, its still active. happenes to me recently in stalker 2 and triggered me badly
>>732278742>you didn't scroll down exactly 1 pixel so we aren't sure if you actually read the last line>no we will not be 'fixing' this because it does not affect gameplay
>>732277245After dying several times in FPS games where one boollet would have carried me to victory I don't blame anyone for do this
>>732278742geg i do this, witcher 3 had a notification for every single fucking thing in the game and i had to clear them constantly after every fight or quest.
>>732276495>playing SMT4>have to fully level my demons (get all their skills) before fusing them even if I won't whisper their skills
>>732277394By making small but impactful changes anon. Being a OCD clean freak hurts until I tell myself to fuck off from time to time
>>732277394I barely function.I have a 2/10 difficulty remote job and even such job is stressful for me because I have to do retarded rituals like switching between different tabs on MS Teams multiple times in order to just read a new chat message.I'm renting an apartment and I almost never clean it because in my mind any cleaning attempt just contaminates everything - like e.g. if a part of the floor gets dirty with something and I mop it then that spreads the contamination around the rest of the floor.When I want to go to bed it takes me like half an hour every time because I need to check multiple times that all the faucets, windows and doors are closed, and I need to "correctly" take a piss and "correctly" drink some water, and some other crap too. fml
>>732277394My OCD is one of the reasons why I'm such a good programmer.
>>732280716nah that's your autism
>mini-maps that reveal themselves as you walk around>tons of little gaps from areas you didn't walk close enough to map>have to retread the entire game world to clear up the gaps
>>732276495>Be me>Be very young and always doing average with grades in school.>Parents always scolding me if I get anything below an A.>End up trying to get A's but fail most of the time.>That idea of trying to be perfect and the best sticks with you for years.>Suddenly it isn't just about the grades it's about being neat and tidy, it's about keeping yourself maintained, it's about everything not being out of order. >Everything is about making an A now.OCD can be developed out of nowhere if you aren't careful but it can come from an upbringing. It isn't all bad though considering it makes some people excellent at what they do.
>>732279938do you not think posting here is making it worse, i feel posting here regularly does put you a bit on edge mentally, feel like that must contribute to that sort of thing
>>732276495I developed a bad habit of starting a new game, playing for several hours, and then making a new save to take advantage of what I know. My playtime in Silksong is half because I wouldn’t stop doing this even up to the end of Act 1.
