    Amazing video! I'm currently struggling with addiction. Not specifically with video games. This video is really inspiring, and something I feel I needed to see to get back on the horse and chase my dream!
    Was also really surprised to see how few views you had. The production quality is really good for your size. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best of luck in the future.

      Thanks! I am glad you found the video helpful and also wish you luck on your journey too.
      I am hoping to start uploading more consistently as that was my main issue and perhaps the views will follow.

    I needed this video, I stopped gaming 3 years ago when I got a job, but replaced it with youtube. I instead spent way to much time being led by the youtube algorithm, thanks for the unhooked extension!
    I love coding, but find it difficult to motivate myself. Will definitely start writing down alternatives and kickstarting some inspiration out of boredom.

      Yeah the unhooked chrome extension was perfect for me too when I first found it. Glad I was able to share it!
      Coding is definitely an acquired taste but luckily there is a lot on the menu (Mobile, web, backend, game etc). I find that starting with some really small projects at first can help. When I first started I would bite off way more than I can chew on projects and it made it much less enjoyable. In some of my future videos I am going to focus on making some Micro Saas projects which are just tiny single feature projects that you can get real users using. Because those are much fun and interesting to me!

      Hey Cody! Was excited to see your comment pop up. I enjoyed your recent video about Ghost Jobs! Job Board platforms should definitely verify that Job posts are actually active somehow.

    I really appreciate the intent behind the video, and it's got some great points!
    Despite that, your title is quite misleading. The brief mention of coding wasn't clear on how you actually replaced video games. You managed to start some habits that held you accountable and improved your mental health, and that's great, but I was hoping for a bit more information on your process to gamifying coding.
    Despite that again, congrats for kicking your addiction. That is definitely something worth celebrating and acknowledging!

    Hey John! Glad to see you uploading! It’s Mike from Cohort 2, PTYA.
    I relate a lot with this video. Although my game is Fortnite and I really enjoy it 😆 it’s kind of my escape from RUclips burnout but I know in the future the hobby will have to disappear

      Hey Mike! Glad to see that you have stuck with your channel and have gotten rather consistent with it too! We should definitely sync up sometime! And I agree we definitely need some way to avoid burnout and if you play Fortnite in moderation it can be a great tool for that!

    Great video. I would recommend instead of meditating, meditate on the mysteries of the rosary and pray to God everyday. The universe didn't create itself. It took me a long time to accept this but the Catholic Church is true. There is a reason it has been around for 2000 years

      Others have been around longer longevity does not give it any credit at all
