How do you moderate yourself?
(media.kbin.run)
I seem to have a problem with moderating myself when it comes to playtime on Video Games, How do you keep yourself from just endlessly playing games?
Wait 10-20 years. Play games that are way too large and complex for your attention span. Build up such a huge Steam backlog that whenever you try to play a game, you feel guilty about all the ones you're not playing. Play games that require reflexes better than the ones you have.
Using these tricks, I've cut my gaming time down almost to zero!
Yep. If you're a teen and worrying about enjoying video games too much, just enjoy it while it lasts. There a lot of worse stuff you could be doing, like meth.
@PeterPoopshit Not a Teen Sadly, I'm 21 and need to better for myself.
When you're 30, addicted to alcohol, have a shitty job and have a hard time enjoying anything anymore you'll look back on these times with envy I promise. Being able to play video games all day and experiencing drug-use like fulfillment from it is a superhuman power in and of itself.
Stay away from alcohol and drugs for as long as you can.
@PeterPoopshit Don't worry I have parents that have experienced drugs and alcohol to the fullest so I stay away from them. The problem is that gaming for me is destructive especially for the possible future I could have with a career, worst case I hope I fall back into Video Games and just mindlessly play them, best case I actually do something with my life and make a difference at least from what I feel like I've done.
Oh man you me. But when I want to play I just wait for weekend. Besides that I don't have the time. My collecting gotten worse though thanks to Epic.
@lolcatnip That's pretty much how I've gained my gaming addiction, like there's way to many games to play ok back to the same game and for a really long time.
