Do you ever feel like if you had never started playing video games you wouldn't have lost control of your life?
I never had control to begin with. Vidya was just an escape.

b-but I need to believe that it's due to getting addicted this shit at 5 years old to and not my own personal faults dont hit me with that

If that's true, then simply take the reigns, friend. Be the change you want to see. You don't even have to give up the vidya life. Just strike a balance.
Nah i used to play video games with a friend then he started doing drugs and stuff.
So i stopped hanging around with him and became the lonely faggot i am now.
Meanwhile he has 2 kids and is married.
Its all about life choices
Nah I'm fine. 27, been with my wife for ten years, both have decent enough paying jobs and all of our bills are paid off including our mortgage, but that was because of a trust fund so I got lucky in a sense. Took family to die though which sucked. Miss you dad.
I'm sad now.
I'm currently on a full scholarship to UC Davis for Animal Biology and Science. The tuition is waved and my expenses are taken care of so long as I maintain my studies. Additionally, I currently work in a branch animal hospital of the group sponsoring me so I'm making $37k annually with full benefits and an outstanding career outlook.
Whenever I'm not working or studying, I'm either exercising or playing vidya.I'm so fucking lonely holy fuck.

>mfw someone tries to blame video games
>>388295997
no, I would have found another way.
That would be a convenient thing to place blame on but I'm just fucked up inside. I never had a chance. Or if I did I ruined it.

As much as I hate "gamer bros", I envy the fact that they are satisfied with just playing a couple of hours in the weekend before heading out to have a social life. I'm here forcing myself to play something, and each time I need more and more game time to even get to that "Okay I had enough" point.
So yes, I'd rather be one of those guys instead.

No, it wasn't the games that ruined things. That goes for everyone here in this situation. They're just the escape we chose when life was no good. We spent more and more time playing until there was nothing left: no friends, no hobbies, no life. If it wasn't games it'd have been something else.
