A lot of gamers have a routine or ritual before they start gaming so I was just wondering if any of you do and what it might be. For me, it is making either a shot of Nespresso or a cup of French Press and watching a short walkthrough youtube video of my favorite streamers to get me hyped. I will sometimes play a game's soundtrack if I own it. I used to do energy drinks when I was younger but now it is coffee regardless of the time of the day. My best friend listens to his favorite podcasts which carries into his actual game time which I find distracting but helps him relax while gaming. I can't wait to read about some of your quirks and routines. I am sure we will all hear some interesting ones.
