    I encountered a post where a gf started taking notes of what her bf said while playing Elden Ring. It was pretty hilarious but then I realized I never speak out loud while playing. What about you?

    I don't shut up no matter what I'm doing.

    I only speak when computing... As if the numbers becomes more logical and physical when spoken out loud..

    "I add this here, derive. Maybe groups this so it's easier to simplify"

    Usually only on big situations like plot twists and similar. If it's online games, I might curse a bit but I refrain from doing too much because I've got a brother who's pretty vocal and it's super annoying.

    Not during gaming, but when I'm doing something totally unrelated, I start mumbling about the game like I'm a confused NPC.

    I will bump into a chair and apologize to it. Or mumble angrily when I realize I'm out of eggs. Just continuous noise.

    Hahaha my nephew is like that. He trash talks in Roblox and uses glitches in Fall Guys

    I feel like a confused NPC quite often myself..

    hahaha it's either apology or a cuss. I don't cuss so usually I blurt out the last word I was thinking (knife, tomato, cat, etc etc)

    That actually sounds endearing lol

    Instead I walk into rooms and say out loud "****, why did I come in here again..?" as if some divine power is going to answer

    sometimes i wish some divine power really answers me. this goldfish memory is really annoying ;-;

    also one thing I've noticed about myself is that I think out loud more often when there are people around me. If I'm cooped up in my room all by myself, I make significantly less sound... which i find really weird. but eh ╮(╯▽╰)╭

    nah I am pretty quite to the point where if no one talks to me I can go on for hours and days without speaking. It also applies to me playing games or typing here or just anything. Tho I do sometimes curse the shit out of my laptop when it unexpectedly crashes/lags...

    I talk all the time
    Sometimes I stop tho idk
    Like once I start talking it opens the floodgates and it never stops
    Unless I’m super focused

    I’m only talkative when it’s just me tho:(
    When I’m with other people I become quiet

    Hahahaha that's the worse, I usually backtracks to remember what I was supposed to or get.
    Maybe you're hoping that they will answer you like a divine power... I sometimes do that, "what was I'm supposed to do again, Ma?"
    I used to be like that. Except I'm surround by people who talks to me a lotttt.
    It's hard to be comfy with other people around even if you know they won't judge.

    God knows what sorts of nonsense I do at home when I'm home alone haha. It just feels soooo comfortable

    Yes! Apparently the brain recognizes going to a different location (even just changes rooms) as accomplishing a task. You think "I need to get my charger from the living room." Your brain however goes "hurr durr, we went to the living room, but what was the second thing?"

    It's like my brain is permanently stuck in that mode. At least I 'get my steps in'.

    No why would you speak while gaming? Is this people trying to copy twitch streamers (unconsciously) or something?

    Lots of us think out loud. Some of us to really annoying degrees. She's just doing the mom thing of "my child is speaking, do they need something" and they say no, but it happens a few times a day and the mom wants to facepalm. If you *don't* assume they're talking to someone, it's going to be the one time they needed something. It's like a secret law to the universe.

    You're definitely normal :p
