How do you break the vidya jew...

How do you break the vidya jew? Or least limit yourself to instances where you only play an hour or two at most as a reward, as I keep getting tempted to redownload Steam games. Has Sup Forums any experience, and if so, how did you break free, and improve yourself?

Keep yourself busy with (mostly) productive things. I go to uni and also have a job, between those things, homework, working out, and shitposting, I have no time to play vidya anymore. I might play a few hours a month, but nothing like I used to.

Quit gaming at 23yo for a girl
Realize pussy is better than pixels
Invest close to 0 in upgrades
Keep pc just to browse, movies, music, projects
Ff 4-5y get an upgrade
No more stabile pussy to fuck
Restart gaming
Get new pussy
Don't stop gaming
Leave her pregnant
Stop gaming, realize I must focus my money an energy in raising my kid into a nondegenerate.
No upgrades until he s old enough so we can game together

>How do you break the vidya jew?
play vidya but still have kids

wakarimasen lol

I just naturally lost interest. I'll go through a phase every now and then where I binge on one of my favorite games. Luckily I wasn't never big into online gaming. I really enjoy the Ogre Battle games

Get better taste and don't buy the yearly edition of Call of Duty and Battlefield. Actually look at games critically.

>How do you break the vidya jew

Dont expose your son to gaming, i got a playstation at 6 and when i look back thats where it all went to shit.

Play when hes not around and be cranky about it, let it be negative reinforcement so he will view gaming as bad.

>how did you break free, and improve yourself?

Do you play video games to avoid doing the things you know you are supposed to do in life? The things that cause you anxiety? Is that all video games are? A way to avoid anxiety? That is what you have to ask yourself.

>Stop being a numale
>locate testicles

It's easy when you stop being a faggot.

Fug man, I love that series. I just try to balance it all out - everything is okay in moderation. If it takes over your life, then you have a problem. But to be fair I was always a single player or couch game kinda guy. I think some strategy games offer a level of depth and complexity that doesn't hurt you - and in many cases probably helped me develop certain mental skills. And with Strategy gaming it offers me a level of competitiveness that I can't achieve when I play sports with friends - that offers me physical competition, but Strategy offers me a tactical and mental one that I crave.

I don't mind it
it's the cheapest hobby in Sydney
just don't waste your whole weekend playing wow
it's always good getting in a group and making fun of niggers and mudslimes

Stop playing multiplayer.
Start playing turn based games.
Start tabbing out every 5 turns.
Start getting up while you tab out.
Stop playing vidya games.

Why would I want to stop playing vidya?

I trade my video game for an alcohol, porn and gambling addiction ...

I just moved two months ago and didnt even bring my computer. Dropped 20 pounds since then

Yeeeeeeeee

Once it dawns on you that every single game every made has been nothing more than a scam and waste of your short time on this earth then you will quit. Otherwise, keep filling the kikes pockets, and that hole inside you, and stay in your comfy little Skinners Box™ they have designed so beautifully for you.

downgrade to a surface pro or something and get a job nigger

Move to boardgames, those require actual self-moderation and skill.

>fight degeneracy
>teach your children to numb their dopamine receptors and screw with their reward systems with the digital jew
Are we on even Sup Forums anymore? Why not feed your kids amphetamines while you're at it?

w-was it worth it famsai

i got really snobby and now i only play really coplicated games like no oxygen included or dwarf fortress or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or project zomboid. just pick a really hard game and only play that... youll quickly find that you need to dedicate WAAAY too much time to reading wikis and shit and while the game is fun it's just a lot of work so its more worth your time to go off and FUCKING DO SOMETHING PRODUUCTIVE.

then on those snowy nights when you cant leave because its freezing and shit you can enjoy your game knowing you EARNED it

iktfb

Yea thinking about that but in today's world is hard to Ken him from having contact witness technology and games.
So my plan is to be a cool dad and play with him for strict periods of time, instead of having him playing around my back at friends house and hating me for it.
I'll do my best to educate him about it, and find better activities to keep him busy
Hope it plays out well

>Keep pc just to browse, movies, music, projects
See, this is what bothers me.
What makes movies or music "better" than video games?

I know a women who is super judgmental of video games, and her hobbies are drinking and netflix.

Play as many video games as you fucking want, because they are HOBBY and hobbies don't have to be productive.
As long as you have your other shit together, then you're fine.

People like this just use video games as an excuse for them being failures.
The truth is people like this are just giant fucking losers who have no one to blame but themselves.

>have career
>have gf
>work out, eat right, take care of myself
>play fuck loads of video games in my free time

I fail to see the problem.
You're the same retards lacking direction so you look for the "answer" to your problems. You turn to shit like nofap and no video games, because you're weak.

Just fuck off and improve yourself. Stop blaming your failures on shit like this.

that describes all hobbies. all past-times. get real.

you'd probably deny that people start playing games and then end up designing and makign a living creating them afterwards. how bad idd. clown

Fucking autocorrect

Your time is money. Even if you do not realize it yet. Invest your time like you would your money. When you start to see what a bad investment of time video games are you will suddenly lose interest.

Buy a guitar, learn guitar.
Play music not games.
This worked fkr me.

>that describes all hobbies. all past-times
You're either a full-blown postmodernist or a retard. A LOT of hobbies are valuable in the real world and nothing like vidya. Vidya teaches you fuck all, it makes you a specialist in dealing with a world that doesn't exist.

Real sports, woodwork, tinkering, history, practical shooting, even cooking has real life benefits. With vidya you get nothing but feeling a sense of accomplishment without actually achieving anything.

>that describes all hobbies
There are productive hobbies that ether make you more wealthy, stronger, smarter, healthier and attractive.
So this "its just a hobby like every other" argument is retarded.

No you are not fine. Maybe if you only play chill games on single player. If you a competitive type you'll end up screaming at random ppl on the Internet like a fucking autist and getting irritated by useless shit all the time.

Hobbies are ment to relax you not to turn you in angrygermankid.gif

If you play good video games it doesn't matter. I have a friend who has gamed all of his life but plays NOTHING difficult, it's almost a passive experience for him.
>clicker heroes
>kingdoms of amular
>Destiny
>the witcher (with youtube open in the background so he knows where to go)
>Assassins creed
It's gross, whenever I try to get him to play something challenging he just doesn't have a good time and gives up immediately.
>dwarf fortress
>Dungeon crawl stone soup
>dota 2
>bloodline champions
>blazblue/ guilty gear
I just.... don't get it, how can one be such a casual while at the same time dedicating their lives to it.

whatever you do, don't be this guy, if you make video games your hobby at least know how to play video games.

I do audio production for work, so I'm at home on my PC as is. There's nothing wrong with a little RnR. But if you're spending all of your time playing games, you're fucking up.

I'll probably get laughed at for this, but as a kid growing up, I had no structure in my home life because my parents were and still are chaotic messes with zero consistency. Learning to function as a team, and finding my role within one, in a competitive FPS taught me a lot about focus, stress management, and social interaction. So I do think there are some genuine benefits, if again, they're done in moderation.

That being said, micro-transactions are killing games. Fuck Gabe Newell in his fucking ass.

I agree, I don't think you have to stop entirely, but let's say you kill like 10 beer a day or watch porn and fap for hours on end or play video games for 12 hours a day, leaving you unable to do anything else, then maybe it's time to cut back a little. The same goes for things most people would consider positive, for example, I have a friend who had to cut back with his work out, because his routine got more and more intense, so he got himself into some nice overtraining, which caused some kind of psychological break/stress disorder and started to endanger his physical well being. The same goes for this site here.

You have to understand that most if these bug man in here have the will power of children.

There is no alternative for them hut absolutisms and ultimatums. Noone would give a shit but they shame the choices of other men like they have grown a literall cunt between their legs.

Why being a faggot op? The best way to be free is to find time to do things you find enjoyable. As long as you can maintain "healthy" life you can do what ever you feel like as long as it does not harm others. Yes you can be a functional junky. Yes , you can be alpha / rich / loved and still be a complete degenerat. I work at iT , makes good money , have friends dumped 3 years gf last month because she wanted me to deticate all of my free time to her (did it regardless). So stop looking for a reason to blame society for your lack of accomplishment

1] Spend all of your spare time and money making spy robots in a junkyard.

get really depressed and lose interest in everything you used to enjoy, including video games

repeal net neutrality

...

...

>hey guys this nerd plays games as a non-achiever and only for what looks like fun because he isn’t lacking achievement in his pathetic life like me

KYS you fucking loser

That's how I did it too.

You just slowely lose interest until you get a headache every time you boot up a game

It doesn't get better after you quit gaming. Just more meaningless lifting just to get 3% bigger annually since you're already past the beginner gains, more watching anime that you slowly get bored of, more porn and more TFW khv with no gf

>video games do not make you smarter

productive hobby, literally an oxymoron, do you even know what a hobby is.

retard post, by a retarded poster.

all those things you described are jobs. not hobbies. fucking retard end urself in the snow ta.

Video games have ruined my life

What game is this? I want my own Jew knight.

Brazilian Canada?

Smash the computer

lmao why is this dumb nigger trying to play in spectator mode

>productive hobby, literally an oxymoron
it isn't though. You're just too attached to your vidya

make the greatest redpilled games.

>you're too attached to your brain.

I like to lift, I guess I'm way too attached to that too user? why can't you just be correct instead.

Dark souls 3

>I am literally incapable of playing video games without turning into an angry chimp when I play online
>therefore no one is able to play online games with sanity

I like how I basically call you for being a child with no self control, and your response to act snide and project your own short comings, while dealing in an absolute (the thing I'm calling you out for).

I don't think I've seen a bigger infant in my entire life.
You're right. Don't play video games, because you're clearly incapable of handing it my man.

lifting is an example of a productive hobby

Here it is made already.

Install cheats and get yourself vac banned

All of that except working out i got.

Keep making excuses for yourself friend you keep an eye on that steam tab how many hours you have neglected those around you and yourself.

to that extent so is video games. gives me knowledge, motor skills... hypocrite much?

>When your band starts a country in the garage

Write down what you need/want to be done on your computer.
Turn on your computer.
Do exactly what is planned.
Turn off your computer.

That should do the trick.

>trying to play vidya in spectator mode

>how many hours you have neglected those around you and yourself.
>I'm usually playing online with my friends or my cousins

Every argument ITT against games can be made against watching niggerball. If you don't have the self control to play for reasonable lengths of time then the problem lies with you not the activity.

>All of that except working out i got.
>keep an eye on that steam tab how many hours you have neglected those around you and yourself.
>and yourself

You don't even work out and you call others out for neglecting themselves.
This is truly some weapons grade projection.

>Keep making excuses for yourself
>i got a playstation at 6 and when i look back thats where it all went to shit.
>some dude's life went to shit and he attempts to pin it all on video games at age 6

The only one making excuses is you.
I have something called self control.
I play video games in my free time, because I enjoy them. I don't let them affect other part of my life, and I don't let some faggot on The Internet talk down, when he doesn't even have his own shit together.

>gives me knowledge, motor skills
No it doesn't.

Lifting not only makes you stronger (more useful), it also raises your social status significantly.

Playing lots of video games actually lowers your social status and decreases your ability to function in the real world. It's an overall negative.

>Playing lots of video games actually lowers your social status
Only with pretentious people you shouldn't associate with anyway.

>decreases your ability to function in the real world
Another retard with 0 self control.

>Turn off your computer.
They can turn off ?

desu i think we could really drop some fat redpills with indie vidya. like you have to hide it in the peanut butter but it's possible. just small, cute games with devastating redpills that have no real connection to us, but are games we produce as individuals for the "lefty fedora indie gamers" to play. like animal farm: the game.

once they start coming out, Sup Forums will take notice and make threads, then articles will pop up about "these video-games Alt-Right propaganda and why they're terrible" etc. making more people want to play it, like that super columbine shooter rpg from back in the day.

if we could start deving subtle redpilled games, we could meme them into mainstream.

Jesus christ i got 2 jobs i have to go to the gym and pretend im working there?

Theres a little thing called physical labour you dumb mongrel even though you tend to let mexicans to your jobs.

I stopped playing and focused on work im just trying to help you buddy, no need to be defensive i see you value your games quite alot.

for me I don't know if it's vidya or just forcing myself to become shortsided and delay pain and suffering by experiencing constant gratification. It's not video games, video games are cool mainstream pop culture ate this point, the problem is abusing things that give you instant gratification. You've got to delay gratification and have a goal to be truly happy. I'm sure video games wouldn't be hard to fit into that gameplan. It's a very white thing to do .

i can't stop playing hoi4 guys

too good of a game too much fun

>i got 2 jobs
Then you fucked up somewhere in life.
>i have to go to the gym and pretend im working there
Takes 75-90 of cardiovascular excise per week to deter heart disease. You have shit priorities if you can't even manage that.

>Theres a little thing called physical labour
Again, failure detected.

>I stopped playing and focused on work
Because you're poor and live a destitute life.

Why the fuck is this no skill, low wage retard attempting to throw down life lessons?

>be high school retard
>play video games 17 hours a day
>fail out and have to work shit jobs
>lmao it wuz da gaems

Holy shit, you're pathetic.

I could speak and write english fluently when I was 10 years old, as a result of few years of intense gaming. So atleast I got something out of it. But yeah, I stopped gaming shortly after that, when I grew up.

lmao, nerd. Go on then play your doll dress up games

i just stopped cold turkey. good thing about vidya addiction is that there are no withdrawals. i do get the itch to load up rs again, but i can't because otherwise nothing gets done for weeks at a time

He can't be poor since he's Norwegian. Even lowest wage jobs pay 4k+ there.

>Vidya teaches you fuck all
Except English.

>Real sports, woodwork, tinkering, history, practical shooting, even cooking has real life benefits. With vidya you get nothing but feeling a sense of accomplishment without actually achieving anything.
Truth, unless you can make money from streaming your hobby its basically pointless.

I have a family farm i inherited and i work on the side as a carpenter.

You sound like a urban faggot with to much free time on your hands, you are the one projecting and RREEEEing over some healthy parenting advise.

I doubt any of the stuff you said is true you sound insecure as fuck.

Yep.
Did I make fool of myself in writing somehow?

>>Theres a little thing called physical labour
>Again, failure detected.
>>I stopped playing and focused on work

wut?

>physical labour in Norway
>poor
pick one mate.

Don't forget games like CK2 which teach history/geography; or at least inspires interest in them.

When I quitted smoking I stopped playing video games, unintentionally . Something was altered with the rewards surcuits in the brain I guess. After many years I can play a little, but I can play without falling to the cheap, psycological triks employed by the evil merchant. There are easy to identify and avoid them.
Traditionally the oldest one was high score, now ocd type pseudo quests like kill a certain number of enemies, fetch " secrets" hidden in essentially random places in the virtual world, grinding stats with repeative actions. The main reason I guess to employ such cheap reward tactics is to give the illusion has more depth and value, without having to invest in real content.
Just play the main story, only a few really interesting side quests without cheap triks. Avoid open world games, play them only if extra strong will power, play main story also.

Nothing is wrong with video games; as long as they are part of a healthy and well balanced lifestyle.

I play civ 5 on the weekends while listening to audio books, literally no desire to play any other game. Apparently civ 6 is a shit show.

I just told you my story. Never projected my problem onto others. Post it anonymously here, and if someone can relate and learn something from it and make a change for the better so be it.
Don't understand why you judge ppl that recognize they have a problem with something, remove that something to get a better life.
>me: I can.t play games whitout acting like a nigger so I'll quit.
>you: I can play games whitout acting like a nigger so everybody else that can't is a manchild

Trying to myself

>realize vidya games is fucking boring and the only real fulfillment comes from being a productive member of society

only problem is that video games gave me autism so i'm fucked now

You don't. Here's where I am at 34.

>work overnight retail
>come home
>Stream LoL for 6 hours
>sleep
>repeat

Hopefully one day I find a more meaningful life.

>Don't understand why you judge ppl that recognize they have a problem with something, remove that something to get a better life.
Deep down he knows that he is still playing to much, he knows that he should quit completely just like the other guys in the thread. He is just trying to convince himself that what he's doing is fine and that he can handle it.

A few hours every now and then isn't that much of a problem. Its multiplayer games, especially MMORPG, shooters and MOBA games that are the biggest time sinks.

CS, Dota and WoW has probably ruined more human potential the last 2 decades then crack.

>>realize vidya games is fucking boring and the only real fulfillment comes from being a productive member of society
Who wants to contribute to this society though? Taxes for gibs? Fuck that.

Find some meaningful things to achieve, gamify them! Set clear and acheivable goals, reward yoursefl

Dont waste time to level-up your char in mmo - instead level-up yourself
compete for meaningful real-life things instead of playing esports

celebrate your achievements, exploit your dopamine (motivation) system same way games exploit it

More important question, how do you break the imageboard jew? Or at least limit yourself to shitpost only for an hour or two?

People like video games basically because its a form of satisfying work that is absent from the modern world. Why are games like Minecraft and Terraria so popular? People tend to love games that simulate collecting materials and managing resources.

In the real world our "work" is so fucking boring and not intrinsically tied to our survival anymore so it all feels so pointless. People want a meaningful sense of work.

> How do you break the vidya jew?
Limit yourself to one game only. Once it gets boring you'll quit no problems. Works for me.
