Nobody can stop me now, nobody.
except boredom. you can only lift for so many hours each day.
Some people have to work because they don't live in their mom's basement
Fucking dumbass, learn some self control instead of selling everything. fucking retard.
Im proud of you OP but 35 is right, you forgot your library card. Get into reading
Video games are useful for cuts.
Takes your mind off the fact you are starving
just trying to help friend. I work 40 hours a week too.
>get up at 6

This. If I didn't have overwatch right now I would have binged on cheesesticks and cookies.

People think they're being all noble and virtuosic by giving up their vices. True strength comes from controlling them, not denying them.
Doesn't hurt to have hobbies cupcake.
Haven't those euro fucks ever heard of the First Amendment?
there is nothing wrong with gaming
gaming is neutral, nothing wrong with it but nothing good about it
Idk about that. The fact that you can't balance what you love with what you should do does not bode well for you at all. Ive managed to stay fit for years while still playing games here and there, its called self control. You seem like the type that will give up once you make a mistake and feel overwhelmed
People who call themselves "gamers" are literally the worst thing ever.
The right games can stimulate creative and critical thinking. Also depends on how you appraoch them
I would agree if it was literally the only thing one has to during his day. Willpower is a limited source, however noble it may be to be "disciplined", it still costs you. imho it's not a virtue to pay more for something that you could buy for cheaper.
Yeah this past week I've been raiding so much I haven't had time to eat junk, so I just grab a quest bar and keep going
OP why not just start working out? It's not porn or video games making you fat, it's food and lack of exercise. Life is not a movie where you have to have some exciting montage of you doing all these extreme actions to finally become a flawless person, life is a exercise in physics where eating less will make you skinnier
>uninstalled every game on my PC
Really close to doing this myself desu.
Learning other languages, writing, and actually being more social has always brought me more happiness.
I think I only played video games the past few years so much because I was sad or some shit.
>guy say he quit gaming
>queue in the man-children
>OMG YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT, THE FACT YOU CAN'T BALANCE USELESS PIXELS INTO YOUR LIFE MEANS YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT, TOTAL FUCKING FAILURE
Haha, you can't make this shit up! Keep up dat projection, world class imo
the best way to not eat something in front of you is to have it not be in front of you
>The right games can stimulate creative and critical thinking.
Which ones? I've been playing a lot of Dual N-Back, feels pretty good.
human resources machine is cool if you want to learn assembly like language in a fun way and melt your brain trying to solve optimization challenges.
honestly i hate that i get tired, they only thing in life that brings me joy is lifting/rock climbing and i cant do i all the time. shit sucks.
hey thanks user this looks pretty cool, cheers
read a book
...
Wow someone who looks down on gaming but wastes time browsing Veeky Forums, what a smart guy
kek, but I never said I looked down on gaming, or say Veeky Forums was a good way to spend your time
pointing out the fact you guys get defensive just because someone quits gaming makes you look like completely out-of-touch man children with no direction
I know like why does the gym close wtf is that shit.
link to ebay?
yesterday i threw out my fleshlight and 50lbs of pussy and ass
Your environment acts as a powerful cue for your habitual behaviors. Developing self-control of one's vices can come after developing the habit of daily exercise and self-betterment. Trying to do both at the same time is asking for failure and getting it.
Make this count, OP. You're on the right track.
...
Keep the games.
>i'm such a fucking loser I cannot function without the unhealthy escapism that comes with playing video games

Making your life only about lifting is the definition of not making it.
do movies count as escapism?
CHAD plays COD and eats PIZZA while you spend your WHOLE LIFE being a LONELY TRYHARD.
Europa Universalis is pretty good for that
thats normally what i end up doing but it gets pretty boring after a while.
Yes, unless your planning to be a film maker
Well it's a good start user, but once you're on the path to making it you can introduce your "vices" back into your life as long as you can manage them.
Fuck the retards saying "Vidya Isn't the problem" are partially correct, but there's a reason you don't often find recovered/recovering Alcoholics around Alcohol.
>there's a reason you don't often find recovered/recovering Alcoholics around Alcohol.
Yeah its called physical adiction/withdrawals. All you need to do to make vidya healthy is a change of philosophy.
You're an idiot. Some stupid high majority percentage of addiction elimination is done cold turkey by removing it from your life. Programs designed to 'ween' you off things are mostly snake oil, with the acception of MAYBE withdrawals that can kill you ie alcohol withdrawals
Yes because there's no such thing as psychological addiction. Like gambling. Nope not recognized as a possible addiction.
Fuck off you moron
Overwatch is bae. So much help for my cut
>you're an idiot
>with the acception of MAYBE
>acception
who's the real idiot here
