I mean it could be an act but to be fair typically to be “entertaining” can take some focus away from the game when the observers only really can focus on the game and the entertainer, which are far more passive activities. I find I do far worse in games when chilling in Discord since I am not focusing exclusively on the game, obviously there are some types of games where having teammates does improve your capabilities but I’m referring to if I’m playing a singleplayer game while in a chat or playing a multiplayer game but still chitchatting in a channel.
