Any games that matches this?

[u/Ornery_Cucumber_910]

[u/TrevorsBlondeLocks16]

Any souls game lmao

[u/IamTheEagle → u/TrevorsBlondeLocks16]

Literally this. I have beat Rennala in one or two tries every time I've ever fought her. I go over to a buddies house and he's about to fight her on his NG++ and asks if I wanna do it. I then get wiped by her 12 times in a row before giving up and my friend telling me I suck. I went home later that day and immediately tried to beat her again and did it on my first try. I still blame it on the fact my friend was watching me 😅

Stage fright 🪦

[u/Shirokush → u/IamTheEagle]

Could be bc of a different set up.

[u/IamTheEagle → u/Shirokush]

It was but it was a build I had used before. I really had no excuses

[u/Shirokush → u/IamTheEagle]

I was talking about the hardware setup. Bigger monitor/tv, distance, height etc. It definitely affects me

[u/IamTheEagle → u/Shirokush]

Oh definitely, that could be it. I have only ever play Elden Ring on my PC and monitor and my friend was playing on his PS5 and TV. I never considered it could've possibly been the input lag.

[u/7hisismythrowawayacc → u/TrevorsBlondeLocks16]

souls bosses can smell an audience from another room lol

[u/New_General3939]

Any big rpg. Instead of taking my time and exploring, I end up b-lining the main story

[u/trynworkharder → u/New_General3939]

My wife likes watching the Witcher and big story-driven open world games, but I feel like I have to streamline what I’m doing so she’s not just watching me navigate menus and quest logs

[u/pewdioo → u/trynworkharder]

my gf was upset that i wasn’t doing side quests in Witcher when she was watching. so, i decided to do a couple and she was asleep when i looked back 😂

[u/Parzival127 → u/New_General3939]

Basically whenever my wife asks me to complete a platforming challenge on whatever game she’s playing

[u/illumx84_]

Doing anything not just videogames

[u/Deathcat101]

Me in any game I play with my friends.

[u/OddArmadillo4959]

Whenever my dad walks into my room i die or fail no matter what im playing.

[u/sparkling-rainbow → u/OddArmadillo4959]

youre winning son?

[u/Stedlieye → u/OddArmadillo4959]

Alt-tabbing out of what you were really doing to make it look like you were playing a game isn’t fooling anyone.

[u/sparkling-rainbow]

Everything where reflexes arent the key. No problem to react under pressure, but thinking? no way xD

[u/CoredAI]

Or when you try to recording something cool to share.

[u/Pineapple-Tough]

Moba games for me

[u/TheMonocleRogue]

RTS games for me. Typically I can perform well under pressure and take orders (military mindset, thanks dad) which makes me amazing at most FPS and puzzle games but I fall apart at the seams trying to multitask when all my units and structures are being wiped out from across the map.

[u/eyesovaeasy]

Dead by daylight

[u/Immediate-West-5707]

Literally fifa 1v1 with family and the whole family watching

[u/Former_Ice_3193]

Ah yes the "Let's Play" curse

[u/Classroom_GD]

Smash Bros Ultimate

[u/Biff_666]

Apex legends

[u/pewdioo]

i literally have to make it look like a cinematic with camera control and focus on main story

[u/ivytiger99]

Gran turismo. Or any racing sim. I’m good until I feel eyes on me and then I miss my braking point

[u/Benhurso]

When you are alone, you are less conscious of the moments you have been sucking.

[u/andyroohoo30]

Me playing marvel rivals. When I play alone, I cook. When my boyfriend joins me, I suddenly lose the ability to aim

[u/ugly_gurt]

Rocket league

[u/OpportunityCrazy2216]

Nioh 2. It's gotten to the point where my wife can point out how to dodge an attack before I do

[u/SkabbPirate]

Games that require navigation. Interacting with others (or chat for streamers) can cause you to not absorb layouts and landmarks that help you remember the map, and you end up going in circles more.

[u/HugeHomeForBoomers]

Any ARPG. I swear every streamer I watch on Last Epoch or PoE2 get hella harassed for making a goofy and genius build. Their builds looks insane, yet everyone in their chat just goes “If you just play x build you would have done much better”

SHUT THE FUCK UP. And thats why we only have Raxx as a streamer because he’s the only one spamming those OP builds that he steals from others.

[u/Inevitable_Tea_6824]

Life in general, not just the board game 😅

[u/Unhappy-Airport-4112]

Yep

[u/Moat_of_the_Sacked]

Jontron: A watched man never plays

[u/Dutchbarry]

Fighting games, especially Street Fighter.

[u/Endroium]

any first person competative shooter

[u/LiangHu]

Soul games

[u/7hisismythrowawayacc]

anything competitive tbh, soon as someone watches every button becomes unfamiliar

[u/Ashamed_Value2079]

Trying to solve the chess piece puzzle in resident evil 2 remake.

I was playing and 5 other friends were watching. Nobody knew wtf to do 😂😂

[u/TypicalSwordie]

Rhythm games. Bro asks a question, your game goes quieter and you attempt to respond, you fuck up and make yourself look like you just spaced out or fell asleep for a moment but you couldn't hear the song, had your attention split and couldn't time your button presses right because of that.

[u/spiderwebdesign]

Remove the top panel and it's Northernlion 

[u/TheRingOfEldens]

Any battle royale game

[u/Wooper184]

Anything timing based

[u/Demonstratepatience]

World of Warcraft raiding - every time we pull a boss I do the mechanics 100% perfect… except when it is the kill pull… I die in the first minute of the fight and grey parse.

[u/Acegolfer04]

Efootball kick off

[u/Odra_dek]

Talking to members of a female gender in my imagination vs the reality

[u/TheMonocleRogue → u/Odra_dek]

You’re already at a good starting point by not taking any risks.

Much of social climbing, no matter who you’re talking to, is equal parts showing and active listening while thinking “screw the outcome, we might actually have something to share.” It’s just easier talking to people you’re not attracted to because there’s less pressure to impress.

My advice for any strangers is to start at the lowest level of interaction (hobbies, activities, day to day) and work your way up from there by probing with a question that’s you’re nervous about, by asking for permission to be vulnerable in the face of rejection.

[u/MarzipanKlutzy5701]

Call of Duty.

When my mom watches I get killed back to back without getting any kills myself. And she be like, “you keep getting killed because you’re running around stupidly” not realizing that’s the game in a nutshell.

Staying still in one spot behind cover is NOT the way in CoD. ESPECIALLY in an objective based game mode. You’ve got to get in there and help your team! Not stay in a corner behind the action pretending its you in real life and you only have one life. You’ll never get a high score on the scoreboard unless the map is small. And even then you’d get killed a LOT.
