Never really understood watching it when playing is also very little effort. It's not football.
for me it's mostly because I am too depressed and unmotivated to get out of bed and go sit in front of the console/PC but not depressed enough to put the dumb addictive black rectangle down
(i am taking medication i hope this changes)
I hope it changes for you too!
thank :]
I'm definitely one of those people, but I work in an office where they let us watch shit on our phones as long as the work still gets done. A hell of a lot easier to watch YT videos than to try to sneak an Xbox S into a cubicle farm ¯(ツ)/¯
Might wanna contemplate about nvidias geforce now 😁
I didn't use it, but I'm still salty that publishers had a fit about that. It's honestly none of their fucking business where you run your games.
I'm not investing in a cloud only platform like Google's abandoned attempt, so the only hope is a hybrid like Geforce Now.
It's an okay-ish solution for people who don't wanna invest in a pricey pc or that just wanna game from their potato thinclient. No mods kills it for me personally.
A guy at work used to use a cloud service called Shadow PC.
They'd basically rent a gaming PC out and he'd just torrent them right on to the cloud machine. Pretty sure mods would have worked there.
It felt a touch laggy with a mouse, but a controller would probably have been just fine. It's a shame there's a disconnect between what gamers want (a gaming PC that's just somewhere else) and what providers want (a walled garden).
True. Those cloud-services allow for mods. But still too laggy, too expensive, too much hassle. And in the end you own nothing again. Like car leasing 😑
But gf now is much cheaper, but therefore has those downsides. But yes. Just a pc somewhere else
Well...
Sometimes I'll watch videos for build inspiration, especially for survival crafting games
I hate watching people play video games too, but definitely for strategy or inspiration it can be helpful
Interesting that you see a difference between the two. Football also does not require incredible effort to play, still a lot of people only watch it.
