Biggest issue here is competitive multiplayer games especially shit like league of legends. Your brain actually turns to mush. Spending money on microtransactions in lol or cod and grinding for a pixel rank for hours a day causes so much emotional stress or emotional void. It’s crazy a game I spent most of my gaming time was fucking league of legends. A game made to be toxic and addicting. It’s weird how I would cling onto it and treated it like an important thing but after half a year of a break when I look at the game I don’t even get a rush like an addict would. The game looks boring as fuck and I can’t believe somebody plays it to this day. Sit by your games for shorter times, play indie games, play short games, play stuff that has meaning. Treat gaming like it’s supposed to be consumed and stop brainwashing yourself to megacorp dogshit like cod
I use it to escape life. Without it, life is just work to make money, then spend all that money on basic living. Life is depressing and feels like gaming is the only way I can escape that. Deep down, i don't want to be here, gaming helps distract that
only thing is if I don't game I don't know what else to do, I go gym like 4 times a week when I get back ill just be gaming and if I don't do that ill just find myself scrolling on TikTok for hours
@@javajuic3 making friends doesn't always work. I've stayed away from that because most of my friends stabbed me in the back and one of my best friends one of the only real friends i had, died. If only 1 out of all the friends i've made in my life were real, the chances of making a new one are slim and is not worth the risk of betrayal in my opinion. And this day and age more and more people are just fake as fuck.
This is honestly something I wish more people acknowledged. The way that you utilize something has a huge consequence on how it affects you in your life. Gaming with friends is probably fine. Like most things using a hobby as a social setting is positive. However most people just use video games to cope with their real life and fall in a rabbit hole of addiction. This is especially harmful when those indivisuals, who use video games as a coping mechanism, go out in the real world and lack social skills or struggle with their attention span. Video games have most of the same negative consequences that social media addiction has. I think this was part of the larger thesis of this video which I strongly appreciated. Please do more of these style videos.
I was never someone to play video games for long, I loved to go skate snowboard, and longboard all day in Idaho which I absolutely loved, but we ended up moving from there to a state I hate. I Will be 100% honestly this really kind of made me depressed, so I feel into video game addiction. Playing for 10+ hours a day for 2 years. It was honestly a pretty low point I My life . Now as of today I’ve been on my entrepreneurship journey so I can work from anywhere and love every second of my day. If you struggling with gaming right now, and you not happy with where you are. You need to get out of it! There is so much more to life, start going to the gym, learn how to make money online, or if you don’t want to do that, get a job you enjoy, and some hobbies.
Personally I feel like I don't invest enough time to speedrun my favorite games. Listening to music is more than half of my passtime and sometimes I feel bored of music. XD

True
Maybe because it’s such a cornerstone of the internet
True
Me who works hard to make sure the bills are paid, I can afford a good rig and I can afford rent so that nothing interferes with my gaming hobby.

@@Mason4bro Understandable, but I would encourage you to find also something else :)
only thing is if I don't game I don't know what else to do, I go gym like 4 times a week when I get back ill just be gaming and if I don't do that ill just find myself scrolling on TikTok for hours
Yeah, me too. I would suggest hanging out with friends or maybe finding another hobby to go along side playing games :)
@@javajuic3 its all about moderation. to me thats the easier way to put it.

and to add to my point, having shitty friends put me at a lower point in life than gaming addiction did. People suck man. So fuck all that shit.
High quality videos, pretty good job man, good point continue!!!❤
@@wanttoplay1099 Thank you for the kind words, I will try my best :))
Great vid bro, totally agree

@@mr.microwave9134 Thank you for the kind words. Yeah, sadly people don't really talk about gaming in a negative light.
made me kinda depressed, lol.
good video but first 2 chapters felt too similar when they started and felt too slow to start.
@@sassy-gy5vv Sorry :(. The last chapter is the most important :)
i think its a hobby, an art form, but obv there's going to be some people that just sweat over them like life depends on it
I agree totally, but like any hobby, it can lead to addiction
@javajuic3 thats literally what i said
Bro playing Fortnite ain’t an art form
@@nuttbutter6190 Made me chuckle
@nuttbutter6190 the game itself is an art form, not the act of playing it

@@JetPlays1 Well said :)
I dont even find joy in gaming anymore
Yeah, that seems to be common nowadays :/
😢
Well guess what? From now on I'll make games..
