I can't open CIV 5 because I know I'll spend 5 hours straight on it and then feel like shit later. That stuff's like heroin man.

I haven't spent 5 hours on a game in like 3 years

>>382018458
Me too, after almost 10 years. I actually stopped playing because of all the cosmetics and the matchmaking.

You're matched with people who play 10+ hours and shit, for them it's not a game anymore, it's just the thing they do... and that makes them angry and frustrated and awful people all around. I am actually happy I quit now

Unfortunately I started playing WoW The Burning Crusade on private servers

I have one hour in Dota2 Test. I don't know how it got there.
I deleted the game from my library. It's still in my profile.

Made a conscious decision to quit playing dota 2 weeks ago and spend an hour walking instead. Also bought a 15 pound dumb bell and do a very light workout routine.

Down 14 pounds so far.

>>382018542
I think I might be autistic or some kind of mental disease. Everyone I see fucking LOVES Civilization, and play it 5+ hours, you guys know the "just one more turn" stereotype.
But I just can't fucking enjoy it for some reason. I start a game, scout around, build improvements and stuff, but after 30 minutes I really have to force myself to do it. After 45-60 minutes I just lose interest and alt-tab to browse 4chan or something and then forget about the game. Am I doing something wrong? 90% of my gameplay consists of choosing Unit and Improvement production and then hit next turn...

I never got into WoW because of my shit computer and Guild Wars 2. Now I only see it getting shit on and have no incentive to even try it out.

>>382018458
Feels great, doesn't it?
Me and my friends used to play it religiously but suddenly everyone had lost interest. Most claim we just got bored of it but it does suspiciously coincide with the release of 7.00.

>>382019018
maybe you need to speed the game up
or have some sort of goal in mind
like for me, the last game i played my goal was to establish the religion of communism and have a worldwide revolution

>>382018974

I remember WoW. It was like a second job. In order to raid and keep up, you'd have to spend dozens of hours each week farming, grinding, organizing. This is why I avoided guild leadership. Fuck that. Didn't need the stress.

>>382018974
Vanished on a rope below a chair?

The method of escapism isnt the root of the problem

>>382019121
i used the play everyday until around 2013 when i full-stoped because i found out about the forced 50% win rate.

>>382019018
Nah, 4x games are just boring as fuck

>>382019018
I'm the same way and I don't know why. I wish I could enjoy civ like everyone else :(

>>382019047

That still makes me sad because 4s hightime was glorious

It's not, but different methods have different consequences.

It's like jumping out into traffic. What kind of car you get hit by isn't the reason you jumped out, but it's preferable to be hit by a motorcycle than a semi.

>>382018962
Congrats! You've already done the hardest part, and if you're in the shape to lose that much weight that easily, you should consistently get a lot of positive reinforcement in the form of progress too.

Quitting whatever problematic game is the worst part, followed by not going back. If you can do both of those you can totally, even if it's seemed hard in the past, get healthy bud!

Not even a professional NEET like me have anywhere near that in much in a 3 games combined.

Melee
I love all Smash games but two of my friends started playing about 2 years ago and every day it's either playing Melee or watching Melee streams.

>>382019228
I somehow spent 500 hours on this shit and I'm not even sure how. I don't even remember most of it.

I spent 200 hours in Nuclear throne.

Finally got bored of it last week after I unlocked hard mode.

Raiding in WoW is still the best game experience I've ever had

I somehow passed my 2nd year of uni despite spending all my time playing Overwatch. Fuck that game was such a waste of time.

warframe's pretty bad, destroys a lot of wallets too.

WoW made me friends in middle school and high school and we would stay at each other's house leveling new characters and shit.
It was fun, and don't regret it.
But...I'm the only one left that still plays and I can't get away.
Taking a break from retail and thought I was free, but then I found a private server and started playing that.

theres never an endgoal and its easy to pick up and not notice the hours fly by

Don't even know how many hours I wasted on MMO's. Started in EQ when Kunark released, raided until the expansion after planes of power. Been bouncing around MMOs since.

I know what you mean bro. There's so much prediction and reaction in this game, I genuinely have fun tracking cooldowns, splitpushing, and singlehandedly carrying my teams with my yi one trick pony.

Most of my friends still play a few times a week, but I've quit cold turkey 2 years ago so I could get on with my life. Best decision of my life, it's an amazing game but you gotta grow up mate, get laid, finish college, etc. At some point I realized that diamond would be the highest I would ever get and getting masters is an exercise in futility when I could be working out and then getting head instead.

a deficit of 3500 calories would lose you 1 lb, an hour of walking burns 400 calories, so he would have to be eating at a deficit of 3100 calories a day. His maintenance would have to be like 5000 or something then.

I've spent 6 years of my life playing league. I was there when /v/ introduced me to the game, when Imaqtpie would play bromades with us long before he became the biggest streamer in the world. It was a fun ride, but my interests have changed, I met a girl and today I want to start a family with her.

advice to bros who want to quit an obsessive game like dota or league, /fit/ is the gateway autist to normie board so check that out.

Why is that I can play 10+ hours of dota 2 straight, but when I try to play something else I quit after a couple hours

I want to play other games, I really want, wtf

It's something unique to mobas, there's a euphoria you get from shitting on baddies

I gave up video games during college. Then I graduated college and couldn't find any job other than substitute teaching for $12 an hour. I only get about 20 or so hours of work a week too. Now it's summer so there's no work. I'm 26 and still live at home. I have no idea what to do. I'm doing classes to become a real teacher but I can't find a job as a real teacher unless I want to move to the ghetto. Now I play a ton of LoL. I have a gf and stuff but I'm so depressed. My lifestyle seems so unsustainable. I can't keep living like this but I don't know what to do. It seems like most people either think everything will be better when they finish college or blame all their problems on the fact that they never went to college or failed out. I finished it and I'm still exactly at the same place in life I was when i was 16.

I was 275 at my peak. I also changed my diet significantly too, went from eating lots of fast food to a steady 1200 caloric intake of shit like protein bars, fruits, and 'healthier' meals (Not definitively healthy but actual real meals instead of fast food and restaurants).

Right now my body is in freefall, I expect it to level out in a couple more weeks.

Looking at my progress tracker it's more like 3 weeks. I've lost exactly 7 pounds since June 18th.

Those pops man

Black Desert Online.
This game is the epitome of gambling. Everything is RNG based, you'll spend DAYS grinding for virtual coins to buy virtual stones to spin a wheel of chance. That's all it boils down too.

And of course you can spend money for quality of life improvements, so you can grind faster.

Fuck that game, it takes advantage of people.

Playing 2v2 and 3v3 with excellent players in Burning Crusade was the best gaming experience I ever had.. We managed to beat sponsored teams, Millenium, SK Gaming, we were ranked among the best of the world... We were legends among our servers, everybody feared us and respected us.. Whenever I put a duel flag down against a fellow mage, I knew he would fear me and ultimately lose.. God those were the times...

What's sad is how I used to replay games like a madman back then. Now if I finish a game, it just stays on my shelf.

Seems to be a good thing. Nor i have played TF2, Overwatch, WoW and similar popular meme games. Single player only forever and ever. The only time i tried online gaming was with Arkham Origins.

Probably would have lost my virginity before 19 and gotten in a relationship sooner. Probably wouldn't be on my freshman year of college at 22 and woulda gotten /fit/ sooner but whatever, I really don't regret any of those years. They were a lot of fun. More than being a normie is.

cuz it's good.

Pretty much any multiplayer game that's at all decent.

Warcraft 3
WoW
CS
TF2
DotA

and to a lesser extent Civilization, even though it's an offline game. I think I've logged probably 3200-3500 hours between all of the games, but it's over an extended period of like a dozen years.

I don't think I'll ever understand the fascination with Mobas, are you all children or something? What the fuck is the appeal of putting together the worst parts of an MMO in an isometric view and replaying the same map over and over again?

KEK are you some retarded roleplaying raider faggot?

>>382018974
It's gotten much worse too. The game is designed with so many levels of RNG and gating that it's basically a heroic simulator

>>382042209
>socialising
>screaming "SUKABLYAD" is considered socializing

>>382042209

Playing MMO's for PvP is pretty retarded, my dude

Incidentally, levelling up, trying different builds, and socializing don't apply to MOBA at all. Sure, you can "try different builds", but if you're at a decent MMR you're going to be building the same things with little tweaks based on team comps. Socializing is especially laughable considering each game is literally one-and-done.

My class almost didn't get our intersession project done because everybody was playing League of Legends.
