vidya is all derivative pandering lowest-common-denominator bullshit anyway

>another triple-A lifeless sandbox thirdperson shooter/ action
>another indie roguelike with gimmick artstyle
>another steam greenlight early access survival game that will never be finished

that or play cs:go or dota for 10,000 hours

kikestarter was a mistake. early access was a mistake. the fact that these indie faggots can get paid when the job is 1/3 done, shit out some turd 2 years later & call it a finished product has ruined steam desu senpai

vidya is ok when you browse the boards every few months to find the gems like bloodborne, play them, and then forget about the hobby for another few months

I'm addicted to the internet and computers. I'm on my computer practically all the time besides when at the gym or work. I need to fix it but I don't know the right way.

Keep busy and get a hobby. Something to get you out of the house. Got to get new habits to get rid of old one man.

I have the same problem, but I have no excuses now to go outside and be more active.
>>
>>41608364
Thanks man, I appreciate it. How do you tell yourself you've had too much internet? It's so easy to get lost, I spend my days reading articles and even Wikipedia pages far more than I do watching things. It's like I'm in a constant state of ready to do something else off the computer, but I never do it. Fuck.

A few pages later, he tells how he started grappling. You will understand why he sucks at it then.

Dude it was so weird. I just stopped playing. I think i was just tired of wasting my time with it where instead i could have been living a much more fulfilling life.

>>41606772
best day of my life was when i stopped playing vidya and cancelled my netflix account.

when I'm bored, I read and learn new shit which helps me move up the social ladder,

when i'm restless I lift and do meal prep

when its late at night I talk to sloots or look at my trading accounts.

never go back anon, never go back

BJJ is the latest meme. I can hear your stupid undeveloped brain cranking up in order to put together the idiot sentences of why BJJ is so cool, bro, resembling some shit Rogan has repeated on his podcast at least 12 times

BJJ. I've been a black belt for 6 years. I have two prolapsed discs, scoliosis and kyphosis, and doc says I should stop, but fuck that.

>entertainment was holding me back

i know plenty of people that do what you do and still play video games and watch netflix. Just admit you are a weak willed person

You sir are not out of the woods yet, and you'll go back once bjj gets stale, all because you think you already kicked the "addiction".

If you are constantly putting off things, and avoiding friends and family to stay at home you are wasting lots of time.

Last year I stayed off 4chan for a month, and I did everything I could to stay out the house. Was eating less junk food and sleeping at a decent time.

I was hanging out with friends again. The thing that kept me coming back to 4chan was discussing movies and general shit. That is something that I always did with my friends instead of online. The need for discussion kept me coming back.

But at the same time I noticed all the threads where exactly the same as when I left. It's a endless loop if you don't have something constructive to do in your spare time.

Start small with something but be consistent. Good luck.

I stopped smoking by drinking I quit drinking by using nitrous and I quit using nitrous by smoking.
>>
>>41611651
Yeah they're weak willed that's exactly the problem as to why they can't do those things
>>
>>41611572
yea people invest thousands of hours into games like WoW to the point of entirely neglecting real life because video games are always a healthy, innocuous habit
>>
>>41608191
Same here. Gonna sell the ol' desktop as a first step.
>>
>>41607361
start again tomorrow my friend, i started again today and it felt great
>>
>>41607771
its not basic activity anymore if you do it 4+ hours a day, of course he gets more critical of everything because he has already seen everything and has had all the fun in those games

Kicked heroin and crack in a rehab in FL where they basically locked you up for a few months. I lifted my balls off and ate like an animal.
>>
>>41608191
Spontaniusly leave it, roll on the floor, read , think , be creative
>>
>>41606772
Same'

Video game addiction was getting bad, had to quit cold turkey and just stop, uninstall and focus on other things, read some books, watched videos on depression, watched videos on changing your life and things are different

>Video games do not replace your life
>>
>>41606772
>What have you done to kick you addictions?
I decided to stop being a bitch and man the fuck up.

That is how I quit smoking, quit snorting cocaine, quit drinking, quit smoking crack, quit smoking marijuana, quit playing videogames and quit fapping.

Now my only addiction is the gym, I go there 6 days a week.

My life has greatly improved, as well as my health.

>Moral of the story: Stop being a bitch and man the fuck up.

>>41611634
Thats cool but OSS is dumb.
I have no idea why all those chucklefucks started copying kyokushinkai karate's "osu".
