Just reached for the fan remote while seeing this.
I just like to feel the wind in my hair.

I'll watch 4 or more videos that I'll jump between tabs of on my PC, but I'll only have one playing at a time. Watch one for like 5 minutes, attentions lulls, switch to another. Later, the attention for one of the others increases, so I'll jump back to it.
It's like...staggered consumption. My attention is weird.
Shout out to fans that never break even though you user them for years
I feel like i must surely need to oil them or do maintenance, but I never have and yet they function.
My wife needs one of those. We've had multiple fans die on us, and then the replacement always makes a slightly different drone which drives her nuts until she's used to it
It's actually a lot more intensive to be turning the fan on and off, so keeping it running is just good maintenance
Hunter Original for the win... Had mine for 22 years, my Mom has my grandmother's of 71 years, both still working
My girlfriend complains when I turn on the fan when we go to sleep. Can't sleep without it
I feel bad because when I game watch videos on another screen while the game is muted on the other.
Hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars wasted on voice acting and sound design. Most of the stuff I play isn't immersive, though, more narrative driven/puzzle based.
The various spellings of vidya always get a nose exhale laugh.
The best part is this is the relaxation zen.
So it’s a thing huh? Every night I play a video game while watching a tv show and listening to a podcast
Are you able to actually consume the material? Can you follow along all three?
Yes, though it depends on the material. I don’t watch shows I have never seen, I tend to rewatch stuff a lot. Also I tend to drop the podcast if the game im playing calls for it, currently I’m playing Alan wake 2 so I like to be more focused while playing a game like that.
You have the sound on for all three normally or is it like, audio from podcast, video from show on second monitor, then main focus is game? I can't imagine the cacophony otherwise.
I have audio on all 3 to varying degrees depending on what I am focusing on most at that time. Some games you have to make the primary audio, but more casual games you don’t. but recently I’ve been watching old 80s and 90s wrestling so you don’t need that on full blast. I retain everything on the pods i listen to and it’s the only way I can put in gaming hours
Alright, cool.
recently I’ve been watching old 80s and 90s wrestling
😂 Alright! Is that an old interest or is it just for shits?
I tried watching modern wrestling and realized how much I hate it compared to the older stuff, so I decided to do a rewatch of wwf and wcw from as early as possible till around 2000 when it all died. Lots of hilarious shit in there that would not pass censor now
😄 I see. Thanks for chatting! Take care, friend.
I have the TV on and something on my phone when I play a game. Is it ADHD or just brain rot?
Are you able to actually consume the material? Can you follow along all three?
No not at all
😆 k, gotcha 👍 It's just comfort noise then?
No clue. I guess I just like background noise
Hey, whatever works!
Haha I am deeply in need of a change. At this point I can't get anything done without my ADHD meth. I don't like it.
❤️ Maybe there's help to get?
Thanks friend. I work with a Psychiatrist and a Therapist.
Once I got my ADHD diagnosis things got a bit better on the attention front. And my depression drugs are helping a bit.
Wish there was a magic cure.
Yeah the fan checks out, cant be without the hum, no sound means dead servers that aint good so there needs the be humming
I wish it was just humming, but it's more of a reeeee
Am I ADHDnant?
Found out I was within the last year. Explained a lot about my childhood, and adulthood for that matter. I slipped through the cracks for so long because I was never 'hyperactive'.
Did you get a diagnosis for it yet? I'm pretty sure I have ADHD but I'm still waiting on one.
Is it important to get one asap or does it not matter how long it takes?
Was it helpful? I've got a nagging suspicion on some stuff myself, but it's hard to justify the cost with "do I actually gain anything by formally knowing".
Knowing was slightly helpful, in a "Well, now at least I know what's lacking and that it's not laziness, but focus."
On the other hand, getting medicated has been... I hesitate to say explicitly life-changing, because at this point in my life it's not really changing anything essential about how I live my life... but it has greatly improved my quality of life. Little things, being able to tackle everyday chores without massive executive dysfunction, or being able to focus on tasks for longer. And my sleep is actually restful now. That's fantastic too.
And the lack of misophonia when I'm medicated is heavenly. Never knew what it was like to not despise every little irregular sound around me. They're still bothersome, but not to the point where I want to bash my skull in against the edge of a table after hearing people indistinctly chattering for more than ten minutes.
misophonia can go away on adhd meds? i think it's time i stopped procrastinating on getting those
It was astounding and unexpected. I'm still not the biggest fan of irregular sounds, but not having to refocus on them every time they happen is amazing.
yeah man i'd give a lot for them to just cause me annoyance, instead of the usual "i want to hit something, run, and then cry"
Thanks for sharing, I'll have to consider that benefit.
knowing has helped my mental health a lot. i'm slowly unlearning constantly blaming myself for being messy or not doing things like "a normal person". adhd is a disability, and it does make life harder, just knowing that helps a little with the guilt
I might be in the same boat. I have my evaluation scheduled later this month
What's with the fan?
ADHD havers 🤝 Tinnitus sufferers
The whirr of a fan is regular and unchanging, which helps drown out irregular noises. Irregular noises are hell.
I could never do that
(I have audio sensitivities)
The craziest shit about getting on an SNRI as opposed to an amphetamine based med was how quiet my space is compared to before.
hey wait a minute
We have pretty bad thunder storms around where I live, so my fans get turned off every now and then. Since two of them have digital switches I have to turn them back on once the power is back on
