Issues with playing games

Hi Everyone,

I am new here, 24 years old, writing from Poland. I need someone to talk about my problem and I figured that they are closely related to psyche. My issues are surely not rare, but nevertheless I need to kind of vent about them.

To begin with, I love fictional worlds. Since I remember I always wandered about books, movies and shows I've watched, it didn't really matter if they were fantasy or sci-fi. Same happened with video games. As a kid I played a lot of racing games, some action adventure but not that much. Instead of playing those more advanced story games I watched lots of youtubers and live that experiences with them so to speak. Something changed in junior high school when I switched to LoL and Counter Strike. I believe that this choice is one of the reasons im writing this post right now lol. They gave me some kind of addiction to dopamine and that fierce rivalization. I have so many great memories with those games, but their toll is still in me.

Having said all that, now I can finally talk some more about my issue which is; I CAN'T DECIDE WHAT TO PLAY and get bored after playing a couple of minutes of any story game. Recently I've gotten myself a new PC, which allows me to play almost anything I'd like and I hoped it would cure my problems, but it didn't. There was a big improvement for some time, but now we are back to square one.

To give some examples, I picked up Expedition 33, and no game has ever hooked me that much. I loved almost everything about it and it reminded me why I've fallen in love with that hobby in the first place. Another game that made me happy was Cyberpunk, also a brilliant experience, thinking about it to this day. RDR2 came to my liking also. But now I feel stuck again. It hurts even more than the first time, because I've proven myself that I can enjoy non-competive games again, but now...

This issue certainly is not rare. Modern day social media made consuming media very difficult, my adhd is not helping either. I'm searching for some advice, simillar stories like mine or maybe some recommendations.

I did try soulslike games and they just aren't for me. 60 fps cap in Elden Ring is too mind boggling and can't past that. Currently I'm battling with Baldur's Gate 3. I like it, especially the talking part but this game has SO many mechanics that it just overwhelms me at times.

Please help <3

Flickering bushes CP2077

Hi, I have this flickering issue on bushes nad foliage in general. It drives me insane. I'm using DLSS preset M, lowering to K made it better but it is still there. I've already tried changing cascade shadows and didn't help. Other upscalling methods also don't help. Turning on ray reconstruction helps but to do that I need to play with ray tracing which is too demanding.

5060ti 16gb, i5 14400f.

Please help

changing monitors, don't know what to do

Hi,

Currently I'm using 144hz 1080p IPS monitor and I'm thinking about switching to 1440p OLED with 180Hz. I have 5060ti 16gb and i5 14400f. Do you think it's worth the update? I checked benchmarks and with DLSS games should run smoothly. Still the fps count will be worse, sodo you think that OLED's better motion handling would make up for that? I just need some opinions.

Thanks!!!
