I didn't even game often, but it constantly occupied my headspace. I spent tons of cash on Nintendo and steam just to barely play game but look forward to them. Or I would play them and it would just feel like a huge time sync and not fun.

I'm 40 now with 4 kids. I always justified it as a way to bond with them or something I deserved. I would say it was not as bad as doomscrolling or social media.

What kept me in the most was just memories of gaming. I just couldn't recreate the happy times. But I kept trying anyway. I tried moderation but I just cannot do it.

I decided to quit them all. It's liberating not to try for achievements or set arbitrary time limits. I no longer spend mental energy seeing what slop is too woke And acceptable.

I feel like this is something I should have done when I had my first kid years ago. It's a complete waste of time beyond some good mental exercises many of you cocks shamed vidya, and I salute you for it.

Everyone reading this under 40. Don't waste years like I did.

Agreed on many points. It's the reason I stayed so long. It was a white man and Asian man hobby. Maybe it will be again one day. I still think gaming is better than sportsball, especially gamers. They didn't fold like a bitch during culture wars even today, gamers are based while sportsball enjoyers are caving on woke shit left and right.
