I think Overwatch is a great game but they don't update it enough. This game is already old and it hasn't changed much. I hope Overwatch 2 gets released soon.
HoI 4 causing urges to masturbate is one of the wierdest things I have ever heard. I am a big fan of grand strategy and I never felt like this. In my opinion all kind of media consumption (games, shows, movies, youtube etc.) can go rogue and become a form of unhealthy escapism. It's not a reason not to abandon it completely, rather to be conscious about how many time we spend on them. If consumption becomes harmful a complete break for some time might be good.
I agree with no abbandon games or social, ecc..completly, but i don't have your same idea: so far i played it for 500 hours in 2 years. Fallout took me 5 years also for 500 hours. There is people that have more than 2000 hours in 1 years and i think i will never reach them (I uninstalled Hoi4 anyway), in Steam i have a friend with more than 8000 hours of NoManSky and i absolutly don't know how much time you spend daily for reach this result, sometime i tended to exagerate with games but when i see these "records" and how i feel bad after after 2-3 hours of game .... i say: how the fuck they can do daily runs of 8-9 hours of gaming? I play since i was a 3 years kid and i have a photo of myself with ps1 but i don't really know how it is possible, after 1 hours i start to feel weird and have an headchace (happend today with Ty Tasmanian Tiger 2 that is a platform). when I stop play Hoi4 i have my frontal lobe death and i used to feel weird and have a strong need to masturbate, but who said you will have the same feeling? I should make a long pause from a game like this? I already did and is always the same thing, after 1 month for example of stop i start play and feel weird again like before. I think we are in front of a new generations of humans ready for Tra(n)shumanism, symbionts prefectly connected with technology, they feel at home only in the internet. If Plato said (Fedro) that writing and transfer our memories, ecc.. from the brain to the paper is not healty for ourself, with the technology we are bring not our soul (just like the clown El(y)on Musk that should not speak about the animic world because he does not know anything said) but ou spirit (that is ourself, our consciouss I) and you see with people with fake lifes in social medias but also many other things.
i think that video games are a very strong medicine against porn, if you play it you will regenerate your brain to think about things that are not porn. however, like all strong medicines, video games have side affects. on the other hand, i have played video games when i was as kid, so there is a chance that i have build in me a weakness for dopamine rashes from video games, which made me extremely weak against porn. i don't know.
If you know how to avoid porn pinterest is a nice platform, i never been the perverted guy that have only a library of asses in instagram and have a photo of a girl with big tits on his phone screen, there is women on my pinterest home, yes, but ART, not depravation. My telegram is completly Porn-free. Have free access to porn but refuse to search it, this for me is the maximum liberty against it, i don't need to install blockers, but this is for me only, not everyone can try this "challenge". I partially agree with the other message i'm waiting for RE8 despite i hope to not become a simp of lady dimitrescu. Anyway my hype for games is not the one i had when i was 12-13 years old...i didn't even know Re8 launch was so near. I rather focus on books.
