This is more for discussion, maybe some of you can handle it
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.
my body feels 45
i am 30
life just... didn't phase out well for me, but i'm content i own my own property and in 4 months i'll be living away from niggers in an apartment with ONLY WHITE NEIGHBORS
yeah i could've been married, i could've shackled myself to some harpy and lost my balls in the process, but fortunately for me i am an extremist with extreme opinions about niggers, jews, and unironically women.
and i'd change nothing about that, my brother 5 kids (6 in December) so he did his duty both for me and for him
i can always redpill my nephews on niggers and jews (they already hate niggers) so yeah, fuck it.
God will reward your brother for his efforts, but you cannot claim his blessings. Our ability to have loving marriages and create families together is the greatest gift that God has provided us with, there is nothing else in this life which comes even close, out of curiosity why would you not choose that?
