Want to and start a new game

I wish I could. The separation of the contaminated and not contaminated is a made-up battle between who I want to be and who I am, which I don't feel comfortable with. When I follow these procedures, I can form a gateway to escape from stress and escape from myself. For a temporary period in a purified space, I can feel like someone else, like the so-called "real" me. I can plan my ideal life and delude myself that things will magically fall into my lap and I can relax. These things don't come true, and I know that.

I'm not comfortable with eating food off the ground, but I don't give a cunt fuck if my computer is """""dirty""""" I've gone 8 years without doing a clean install, did it once because I couldn't update my drivers and it was fine. you don't have to do it 7 fuckin times a day, it just takes once every few years or so (8 years is admittedly really long to wait). But still, seems more like you don't know jack shit about your computer because doing it several times in a row so often isn't changing fucking anything.

I have OCD and it’s always interesting to me how other people with it behave. I don’t suffer these problems you have. I like things tidy and organized on my PC and I spend more time than necessary to keep things that way, but I don’t feel like I need to do a clean Windows install every time I play a game. I do tend to take longer than average to play through a game though because I have various gaming tics where I have to touch certain things a number of time or open and close my inventory a specific amount of times, until everything feels right. When I played WoW I was extremely obsessive with my addons. I’ve definitely spent hundreds of hours just tweaking those the way I wanted them, but my UI was pretty fucking slick.

you're completely and fully aware of these things as dictated by your ability to explain them

it's not that you don't want to. these odd dysfunctions define you because you let them, because they fill the gaps and voids and mask deeper issues that you're more content to avoid or manifest as something you can easily avoid and not really be affected by through your weird pseudo-approach you're talking about itt

the "lol just stop" guy is unironically right. but you have to actually bust your ass caring if it matters to you

t. got a fucking grip after being the same way for half a decade

>game stutters/feels off unless I reset my GPU drivers or unplug/plug my monitor back in or restart my PC.
>i've measured the framerate and it's exactly the same before and after

time to re install windows

get a shitty 100-200$ used laptop.
Install linux.
you'll be learning so much by using the OS that you wont have time for your compulsions to take root.
once you break the install, remove it and start over. it feels amazing/
go with Arch if you really want a time waster.

kek

Obeying compulsions strengthens OCD. From personal experience, SSRIs help tremendously. I advise you to visit a general practitioner, you'll be prescribed the medication that can help you.

>no OCD

bad diet and stress

>>fingers covered in scars from biting at the skin
same but it tastes so good

>Excessive skin picking, hair-pulling, nail biting, and other body-focused repetitive behavior disorders are all on the obsessive–compulsive spectrum.
>"no OCD"

>Anyone else have a problem like this?
Fuck, yes. I always have to format/reset to default my systems when selecting a bunch of new games. I also format their SD cards (using that mode that takes more time) and reinstalling Windows to get that "clean feel" on my devices. All of this is my OCD "under control". It used to be MUCH worse.

I’m not quite as autistic as you but I still have some things like
>can’t come back to the game if it’s months later, have to start a new save file
>constantly start games over once the challenge disappears because I enjoy the initial hardships the most
>feel like my experience is not “authentic” if I use fast travel

buncha fucken retards on this board fo sho

user I have the exact same issue and probably even worse than you because it covers more than just games and it's seriously been affecting my life for the past decade. Glad I've finally met someone like me in that regards.
Every other week for the past decade I've been telling myself "okay I'll finally start playing again tommorow and won't sperg out due to autism", or "next month I will definitely sort my shit out" and "I'll just start reading again once I've rounded out my book collection"

Yes I know I'm weak willed.

Why no ocd then? Chances are the fact you're in denial about the condition is part of ocd itself.

>tfw my HDD is literally pure chaos
>picked up Nioh again from the point where I left off half a year ago, doesn't matter because I remember everything so who gives a shit
>Same Win7 installation since 2013

have you measured frame-time tho? it could still be more stuttery even at the same frame rate
