Alright /r9k/ I uninstalled every single game from my pc and phone. I'm going cold turkey to kill my addiction.
I came home and I don't know what to do now. Everything feels forced and I'm rarely ever attracted by something other than the fact I feel like I need to do it to get going.
I have a keyboard, art supplies, books, my computer where I code (in school). Give me some motivation and ideas, /self improving/ robots.

Draw. Just keep drawing, even if you destroy it or if it's shit. Just keep doing it.

Why? There's nothing wrong with playing video games. It's a good hobby and extremely common. It brings people together. There is no stigma associated with it. Now you're going to be miserable forcing yourself to get through doing things you don't like.

I won't disavow the good of video games. But for me I had to came to the conclusion that they are toxic in my life. I can't moderate myself, no one should be doing excessive hours of video games for no reason.
In my case I am addicted to their instant gratification. I rationalize my long hours on them by feeling rewarded by achievements or getting a certain ranked in competitive games.
Yes video games as a pass time are fine. But if that's all you do, they outweigh the positives.
For sure I'll be gaming again in the future but I need to settle down and be used to something else.

Same. Some people can and good for them, but for me the only thing is complete removal of the cancer.

Are you stupid? When I was a kid (and still today) I was a loser with no social skills but I would go up to new kids and other losers and ask if they liked video games. That's how I met all my friends. We would talk about games and play games together on the weekend.
>>34851246

Now you can concentrate on your internet addiction.
>>34851280

Shhhhhhh one step at a time.
If you can't doi it with moderation and affects other more important things it's the best that you can do OP
I did the same years ago and now I get bored when I try to pley some video game.
The internet, 4 chan and porn addiction that's another level.
>>34851451this is my problem. I spend maybe 1/5 of my spare time on videya and 3/5 on fucking around online and watching youtube
I have a similar problem. I've gotten to the point where I don't get satisfaction out of playing games at all. I boot them up, sit at the title screen for a while, then hit quit. Got to where I was going through my steam library doing this for an hour or so.
I have tried quitting in the past, but it's always been a fruitless effort. I recently decided that if I can't get away from video games, at least I can have control over them, so I started an online course in web dev so I can learn how to make browser games. It's going pretty well so far, and I've rekindled my creativity and my love for games. They are no longer the cold grey problem they were before and have transformed into an art which I can appreciate and take inspiration from for my own work.
It sounds like you have some experience coding, so why not give it a shot? There are lots of free resources out there for making games. You can use a free engine like Unity3D or make your own from scratch.
