Fuck games no more!

Yeah!! that's the spirit. Keep it up!!

 

@anselem HAHAHA YES. Too familiar. I put thousands of hours and hundreds of dollars into WoT, had about 80 vehicles in my garage and 25k or so battles, then I got fed up with the bullshit and deleted my account forever. That was last year and probably the start of my decision to quit gaming. People like us can't game in moderation, so we have no choice but to leave it behind. Good job for quitting. And the funny thing is, it's not even a really good game. It plays like a phone game and gives more frustration than pleasure. You feel helpless every single battle, even when you win. Totally not worth it.

Funny thing though. I had just reinstalled WoT a few days ago, but after seeing this I'm definitely deleting my account again. Peace and good luck dude.

 

I feel like single player games and competitive multiplayer games are so different that they are completely different experiences for me at this point. The former I still enjoy, the latter I cannot stand.

The last online game I took seriously was Overwatch and that game drove me up the wall, there was just something about it that activated a primal anger within me and in the end I realised it was seriously harming my life so I quit it. That experience is one of many that made me realise just how meaningless a lot of games are nowadays. Recently I tried to play the new Call of Duty, and holy shit, its absolute steaming garbage, inferior to the first Black Ops game from 10 years ago in every way apart from maybe graphics. The matchmaking had a habit of putting you against idiots, allowing you to easily do well, and then frantically try to compensate for that, in the next match putting you up against sweaty tryhards. You obviously get destroyed, and then the cycle repeats. Absolutely maddening lmao.

 

This shit right here is why I refuse to play games that have no clearly defined end goal. I can happily play single player games and have no issue, even grindy ones like RPG's but as soon as it becomes apparent the game wont end, I nope the fuck out as soon as possible. Most modern online games are just designed to turn you into an addict, they even hire people who come up with new ways to get you addicted at big places like Activision.

 

You guys pay for games?

 

you are totally right.

but playing games are a great way to heal yourself from Porn, because instead of thinking about woman you think about stupid gold coins and ability points and character trinkets.

gaming is very effective medicine against porn, and like all effective drugs, it has side affects.

 

The fuck are you talking about. Many games have price tags, not just p2w ones. And no I don't pirate, fuck that.

 

Nah, is like methadone for an heroin addict, you will have issues when you stop gaming or reducing gaming because the dopaminergic pathways are still fucked up.

It doesn't heal you, it's a substitute, given less harmful, but it doesn't heal you, also, show me a game without bimbo girls and sexy female characters, at least any mainstream game, not any indie or niche game.

 

Me no comprende arr

 

easy - total war warhammer 2, satisfactory, escape from tarkov, rimworld, planetside 2, world of warcraft, no mans sky...

if you play them long enough, you will get addicted, but better it than porn, believe me. it's a huge difference.

 

Niche, nicheish, niche, super niche, those elves tho..., niche.

 

ok, minecraft. in minecraft you can't find nudity.

also - call of duty, battlefield, FIFA.

 

Ok, you got me.
Still 6h of gaming and 6h of wanking is not the same, but the same, hahahahaa
Mate I like to play games don't take me wrong, but I de-escalated it a lot in the last 5 years, you know what happened? Other addictions got worse, a fix is a fix, and a dopaminergic fix, is what it is, you can throw flowers at it and be like, hei, this one at least doesn't destroy me physically!, ok, but is still just a fix, and as soon as you remove it you will be craving a fix like crazy.

It doesn't heal you from anything, it substitutes it, just like methadone and heroin.

 

it's a very strong accusations, games have always been important part of human life, even dogs play with themselves, it's important for our brains.

i personally think like this: single player games are great for your brain (if they don't have nudity like cyberpunk) and online games are much more dangerous.

BUT, if you have porn - go and try to get addicted to games, it will make you an addict, but it's a ''soft landing'' from addiction to porn to addiction to games, rather than addiction to porn to being a working responsible guy.

 

When it came to Overwatch, it really felt like me winning had nothing to do with how well I actually played, and was instead based on factors I had no control over. The majority of matches seemed to boil down to a situation where half the team was trying to carry the other half, and the other side was worse than us, but because it was basically 3 against 6 we lost anyway. So bloody annoying.

 

i mean, what is your method to offer a soft landing to a porn addict ? just to ''drop it'' and become a productive member of society in a matter of hours ? come on...
