I have realised that if i dont quit all forms of video games, i will never truily make it.
I dont know how many of you guys play video games, but if some of you do i think that you need to realise that.
I have went without any video games for a few months several times and my quality of life improved significantly. And every time i get hooked up again and i turn into a worthless idiot.

Video games are the same as any unproductive hobby. Doing it when you have some free time to relax is fine. When you're addicted and it's affecting your life, it's a problem.
Same problem man I need advice.
This.
I had the same thoughts before and now I play just a few different games for a couple hours at a time, where I used to play over 30-40 games for hours a day.
fuck. i'm browsing Veeky Forums on my laptop lying in my bed and feeling very lonely and this pic hit me right in the feels.
Yeah but most unproductive hobbies don't make it incredibly easy to spend 6+ hours on it daily for weeks at a time
I honestly felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders when i stopped gaming my life got a whole lot better i think gaming fucks with your dopamine feedback loop
Sounds like you just don't know how to manage your time you fruit. Its not the fault of the game, but you, who doesn't know when to stop.
I had to drop ck2 and paradox games, dumped way too much time into my autistic medieval simulator. I don't even like it, I just go back to see what happens if I do the same thing again.
Shooters and shit just make me rage but soulsborne stuff and the Witcher has been pretty relaxing and is something I'm comfortable playing in moderation. Would sell my ps4 if red dead 2 wasn't coming out.
If it's any consolation, it's not completely wasted time. All this time playing games has given you first hand understanding of what will happen to your life if you are lazy and fuck around.
People can tell you what to do in order to not fail, but there is no replacement for first hand failure as a learning experience.
So don't dwell on your wasted time, but convert your loathing over your fat lazy autistic self into determination.
This. Just moved out of home (interstate) so I haven't been able to play my vidya for about a month now and won't be able to do so for about another week. I mainly play competitive games (loving Overwatch atm) so it's kind of hard for me to shake off.
Before I moved out I was almost Grandmaster rank, but since I haven't played in so long my rank has probably decayed down to Diamond. So I'm not even sure if I can be bothered going back just to waste more time climbing back up.
Hopefully I'll be able to resist when my PC arrives over here or maybe find a relaxing singleplayer to get into.
>vidya will never get in the way of gains though and that's the main thing
