just found this community and it makes me so happy, I wandered into Bloom County by a happy accident in 7th grade and it widened my view of the world in such wonderful ways, glad to see it live on a while

I'm a couple years into my acoustic guitar journey and it's still very much a stickler for me.

Something that massively helped was a friend mentioning I should make sure my guitar was "set up". I took it into a guitar shop and asked and it turns out that on brand new guitars there are often some small adjustments to the neck, bridges and frets that can really improve how hard you have to press for the note. Guitars may warp slightly over time as well depending on their storage, climate etc... so sometimes tweaking can be needed later in it's life. And some people prefer certain tweaks, lower versus higher action. So even if you guitar isn't new it might still need some tweaking for you.

I'd never heard anyone mention it before my friend did (and not much since) and it made a big difference in my case. I went from slightly dreading my practice sessions to feeling much more enthusiastic. It was just that much easier to play. Might be worth asking about. No idea if it really applies on electric if that's what you're playing.

Best of luck, I've had a fun ride so far and I hope yours is too!

Not really hating on valve as they have done an enormous amount of good for pc gaming but yeah, it is deeply frustrating how slowly they roll out fixes. For a ~$700,000,000 a year company they are incredibly slow at publishing fixes and necessary updates to just their core software. It's all kinds of ridiculous that with a budget like that they are still lagging behind open source projects like moonlight/sunshine.

I read somewhere that he does his own makeup every morning. Too lazy to find sources though so don't listen to me.
