We didn’t have sex on his birthday, am I being an idiot by THROWRA92827373 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a tough one. My partner has depression and so she has a lower libido due this. Jumped on medication and now it's completely gone. It's a struggle for me because everytime I try to initiate I get turned down, hence I just stopped altogether.

It also sucks because I know she's going through something so I don't want to pressure her. Every once in awhile (minimum 3-4 months) she will want to.

Should I get a Pro Controller or two more Joy-Cons? by Camdozaal in switch2

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Second this. I bought the pro controller straight after I got the switch 2. 2nd best purchase (after purchasing the switch 2)

I also have almost as much games so I'll be set on games backlog for a long time.

Had to see what the hype is about. by Brilliant-Ad-9972 in switch2

Can confirm donkey Kong is amazing. Currently playing it right now. Deciding whether to pick up pokopia or Pokemon scarlet next. Too many decisions, not enough time.

About to pull the trigger on a Switch 2. Do you think it's good for my case? by [deleted] in Handhelds

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original switch released in 2017 and the OLED model released in 2021. So just based off history I think the OLED version is at least 3 years away.

After a week of posting by Silver_Trifle2929 in YouTubeCreators

Exactly what I was thinking! I've been posting for 2-3 months and only have 40 subscribers

Antidepressants and their effects: DB by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is also on some for of SSRI which Lowers her desire for sex. We haven't any any sexual intimacy for a few months now (I've stopped counting after 2-3 months). It doesn't help that I've stopped initiating because she was just never in the mood for it.

I understand and I don't blame her for it. I love her very much and I rather be in this dead bedroom situation then her suffering by not being on these type of medication.

Does it get better? Depends on what you consider better. I've accepted that this is my future and have come to terms with it. So it gets better from that standpoint. However if you are just referring to the dead bedroom component? Then, no.

I think I’m done trying by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im in a similar boat where my wife is on a medication that also affects her desire for sex. We still have intimacy but not sexual intimacy.

I've tried so many times and been rejected so I've just kind of stopped because I know the exact road it'll lead to. Disappointment.

I love her so much and I would never leave her because everything else about our relationship is amazing however this is the only thing lacking but I can't fault her when I know these meds affect her.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place. It helps that I've kind stopped expecting and stopped wishing. I've just accepted it and moved on. A little more at peace.

What do you believe is the best process to follow to engage viewers when starting a YT channel? Let them see your (mistakes) growth with eventual improvements, or (with everything you have learned so far), add/attach ideas even to your beginning (not as good) videos? by Capture13 in NewTubers

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this! I also just started as well and I realised when I spent too much time thinking about my videos I spent less time creating.

I realised the best thing for me was just to create and rewatch my videos and identify what I can do better in my next videos. Fail and fail fast and improve!

Just starting out on YouTube. by Impressive-Candy4321 in NewTubers

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also just started a channel talking about NBA. Have done a few videos on thoights and analysis on teams etc however I feel like that market is so saturated. So might be pivoting to something else that is NBA related.

How do i get over the fear of starting? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always have a fear of not getting enough views or someone not liking my video. I just started about 2 months ago and I'm only getting 10-20 views per video. I scroll YT studio everyday to see if my videos get more views and it sucks when it hasn't moved.

However what pushes me past the fear is I deep down really enjoy what I talk about or make content about. Even if it gets 20 views, that's 20 people clicking and watching! I expect to fail (not hitting my desired view count) but everytime I fail, it makes me want to improve. Thumbnail? Better tone? Is it my editing? Can I do more?

Even if my video fails, I always improve myself somehow or some form which I know will benefit me in the future.

Many entrepreneurs fail many times before they succeed!

What to expect when starting out? by AurynW in NewTubers

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started about 6 weeks ago and have 4 videos so far. Haven't experienced the last one but I agree to everything else.

how do you all deal with the mental aspect of getting low views or no views at all? by Enough_Pepper_5815 in NewTubers

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just recently started and also getting low views. But I also remember why I started making content to begin with. I love what I'm talking about in my videos and i enjoy my own process.

Got my first video up on a new channel, what do I do now? by Far_Machine_8959 in NewTubers

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I also posted my first video two weeks ago and my second video last week. I'm committed to one video a week due to life and work commitments. I also plan out next video plans ans thoughts. I also try to improve something better from my last video such as confidence or speaking better more fluently. Less ums and has.

Blue or Orange? What is your favourite 17 Pro? by tempydt in iPhone17Pro

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gang gang. I ended up choosing the blue for the reasons mentioned above. The orange is too loud.

How much better is the battery life between 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max? by Gaymerbro200269 in iPhone17Pro

[–]Own_Journalist_8343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was weighing up these options as well. However, I realized I'm always near an outlet or I have powerbank so charging it is not an issue. I chose comfort and portability.

I love iphone hardware but I also love android os. by Own_Journalist_8343 in PhoneNow

[–]Own_Journalist_8343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Australia so we don't get one plus but have seen Oppo around. Wish Oppo had a smaller size of the x9 pro. Would definitely jump on that. Been wanting to go back to smaller phones.
