Ep. 426 - The Complicated Reveal of DLSS 5

Today's episode is about rewiring old habits, finishing what I start, and examining why discomfort is the way.

Also, while asleep and dreaming I created a scene in OBS and I've never seen any tutorials or anything about how to do it...I just woke up and did it. Wild right?

In this video I talk about:

→ Why I'm pushing through a WoW Let's Play I don't even want to finish anymore

→ The difference between playing for fun vs. playing for growth

→ Life as the "main quest" — and gaming as the auxiliary

→ What games I actually want to make videos about next (CS2, Fallout, WoW Midnight, and more)

→ That dream where I manifested OBS knowledge out of thin air

This channel is about what happens inside the mind's eye and today that means sitting at level 47 in the Hinterlands at 5am in the morning asking yourself why.

💬 Drop a comment: Should I try Counter-Strike 2 next? or stick with MMOs?
