How bad is your video-game addiction?

Not much. I spend more time browsing Sup Forums than playing video games.

I can't even play videogames anymore

This

>I spend more time browsing Sup Forums than playing video games
Sadly this
I wish to be addicted to video games

It was pretty bad when i was 16. Pretty fucking damn bad.

Now i'm 26 and i barely play them anymore. I got crippling anxiety and depression instead.

so this is what that pepe image is based on

Exactly this.
Except I'm 30.

This. I'm addicted to the internet, not to video games.

I don't have time to actually have a proper sit down game session anymore where I can just focus on the game.

So instead I browse Sup Forums and watch other people playing games.

Not as bad as my internet addiction.

I'm pretty much this except when a really addictive / immersive game comes out that pulls me in once or twice a year.

Its fixed. Once upon a time though I got badly addicted to dawn of war and played it for at least 15 hours a day.

I dont really play vidya anymore if i'm honest, its kind of lost its spark for me

Not as bad as my porn addiction.

Lately i've only been able to stick to MMO's where there is a competitive form of play.

I have a backlog of tons of games but i'm just too depressed and end up browsing Sup Forums and other shit instead.

These.

I'm also addicted to downloading, I spend more time downloading games than actually playing them.

Non existent. If I want to play, I play, if I don't, I don't. I'll go a day or two of not playing. Strangely with a console I had a borderline addiction but now that I've built a PC it's much easier to manage my playing.

Sorry to hear that gandalf

I am not addicted to anything but fapping.
I can go days without a pc or Sup Forums, but not without fapping.

I haven't played a game in over a year.

I'm 29 years old.
Video games are my entire life and I mean that as a negative. It has put strain on past relationships, but I lucked out and I'm engaged to someone I met who shares the same hobbies. I try my best to hide my obsession, i.e. I never wear tshirts or video game clothing and I wouldn't be caught dead with a video game poster or "statue" in my room.
I had a pretty shit childhood and used video games and their storytelling as an escape for the misery that was outside the 4 walls of my room.
Unfortunately, I never kicked the habit.
I browse Sup Forums all day at work and when I get home, I immediately turn on whatever I may be playing at the time.
Even in the time between, I constantly keep myself updated with whatever video game news I can get my hands on and I treat E3 like the super bowl.

hard to get excited by any game nowadays, espcecially triple a-s

wish i was addicted again like when i was a lad but nothing keeps my interest long enough

Not that bad anymore, I already missed out on my best years and gave myself the worst work history gap playing them. I've got nothing to lose but now I get bored of games quickly.

How do you avoid being fired from work for browsing Sup Forums rather than working you leech

You tell me

Not as bad as it used to be. I feel like 'm not playing them enough now. Having said that sim games succ a few hours out of me when I boot them up.

Because I'm incredibly effective at manipulating people. I'm actually up for a promotion I didn't even know I was slated for. They're giving it to me in March.
>neet
You know, that should be true, but coincidentally I'm a very charismatic outgoing person. I spend weekends at the bar with friends and spend a good amount of time outside.
I just constantly think about and crave to play video games.

Wow literally the scummy boss that knows nothing but still gets ascensions and favoritism. Enjoy being hated by everybody that actually works.

Not bad. I can do stuff without the urge to immediately go play Vidya. If I have free time and nothing better to do I play Vidya/shitpost.

>Enjoy being hated by everybody that actually works.
lol Actually, I'm the most liked person in the office. But I can understand why you want to insult me. I don't take offense to it.

My sister met some one like this and she hated her, so she got everybody to hate her and she had to leave.
So that's what you have to do, get rid of everybody that doesn't like you so nobody finds out.

i literally do not want to do anything but play video games

when i'm at work i'm thinking about video games, cant get home to play them, thinking about making videos, guides etc

when i get home i eat whilst watching a twitch stream on my tablet, then sit and play vidya all fucking day

then i get into bed, watch a stream or youtube videos for an hour or so and go to bed

if i won the lottery tonight i'd buy a small house in the middle of nowhere, get internet to it and literally never leave the house again and play videogames

pretty bad i guess

That's funny since that's sort of what I do, but instead I make sure I befriend every person in the office. I approach each person differently though to not make it seem as though I'm just kissing their ass. And the people I feel are a threat, I slowly harness a community hatred towards that person and then eventually get them fired.
You would be amazed at the difference someone's opinion has of you if you take the time to just ask them how their morning is going.
>pic related, this is all I do all day lately.

This.

I could see myself doing this user, you're not alone
now post your pee bottles

Could this just be imposter syndrome on your end?

I am addicted to the internet. I fucking wish I could be addicted to video games. At least that shit is fun.

hello, sociopath

>Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome) is a concept describing high-achieving individuals who are marked by an inability to internalize their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud".

29 year old. I don't really think I've accomplished much in life, but I definitely know I'm a fraud.

I would do the same but also smoke a ton of weed. I just want a comfy cabin in the middle of nowhere to spend the rest of my time and not bother anyone.

the only thing i have in life is escapism.

There's nothing else.

That's harsh, man. I've got feelings, too!

There is manning the fuck up and being confident while giving no fucks.
It feels great.

Gettin' huge helps. Not this is different to getting /fit/ as /fit/ is for faggotry.

The confident part especially doesn't happen on a single decision.

i haven't played a game since 2013

Obsessing over trying to get /fit/ is an escape route for someone with a shit personality and need to make up for it.
Works both ways though. Unattractive people have to form fantastic personalities to cope.
It's that fine line that few achieve balancing both.

All of this.

I was only addicted to video games until like 14 when I got my own computer in my room. I'm addicted to the internet, now I have to unplug my computer to play vidya.

i dont have pee bottles since i'm forced into the normiedom that is wageslavery

i'm also incredibly autistic about cleanliness and feel awful if i dont shower every day

>weed
absolutely 100% degenerate

>autistic wageslave who is desperately addicted to videogames judging me
ouch my feelings

I thought it was pretty bad, but then I realized I spend more time doing "stuff" on the computer than playing games.

I get a bad case of flavor of the month though.

I wish I could have fun playing video games again

Packing on the muscle does feel great though. Something I learnt by accident when I got a job on a building site. I tell you hauling heavy shit about for 7-8 hours a day 5 days a week quickly builds a body of iron.

Downside: it just builds muscle under existing flab so I look like a true denzin of Sup Forums despite being able to lift some decent weights (you try carrying 80kg doors up flights of stairs - that'll make a man of you).

This also leads to a piece of life advice: never pick a fight with dudes who have worked on site all their life - they are hard men (lel women).

>stoner desperately addicted to weed as a crutch to survive life thinks they can judge anyone

lmao you cant even do life without dulling your senses. pathetic

Yeah I love playing pretend on the internet too.

i actually tried to play some fallout 3, one of the gfames i enjoyed the most

but then i realized that i was stuck in operation anchorage - the gayest fucking shitDLC ever made and ended up ragequitting and it ruined my desire to play more

>crutch to survive life
>dulling your senses
lmao
thats why crime rates and motor vehicle accidents go down in legalized areas, and there are generally more jobs and improved quality of life. This is a thread for losers to be among eachother and find comfort but youre such an autistic loser you cant even make nice with randoms on the internet youll never meet who are just like you.
No wonder you waste your whole life in a virtual fantasy world.

failed 6 years of college

>It's a triggered stoner

look at the normie exposing himself

'y-you'll never h-have friends, go back to your video games l-loser'

>he says on Sup Forums

absolute kek back to kekit if you want a hugbox senpai

>manning the fuck up
Did you know that the reactors in hiroshima started to leak? enjoy the mutations soon to happen boy. Can't wait for those fishes with damaged dna you will eat, very delicious and radioactive.

>I DON'T LIKE WEED REEEEEEEE
I am not him, but nobody fucking cares what are you even doing

>i'm not him
of course you aren't sweetie
probably just another pothead degenerate

>YOU ARE A DEGENERATE STOP DOING WHAT I DON'T LIKE BECAUSE THAT MAKES YOU A BAD PERSON AND MY OPINION IS THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS
lol just lol

Now you're just embarrassing yourself

not as bad as my alcohol addiction

...

someone please tell me how to stop being addicted to video games and the internet. I'm 22 already, I can't keep going like this.

tfw u leave to go smoke weed and come back and the loser has done all the work for himself
e z

I'm exactly you, except I have 0 social life.

I'm an outgoing person at work everyone likes, but in my personal life I just want to be left alone and do my thing.

I like other things like bowling, stand up jetskiing, and dirtbiking.

My main hobby is definitely gaming. I'll be doing it my whole life.
