I fucking love gaming, but these 2 websites are the reason I can never finish any game and not even play that much.The quick dopamine boost you get from those is simply more rewarding than turning on a game, remember the story and mechanics again etc.What do?
>>736813775Install Cold Turkey
>>736813775Find a game that's more than fun than Youtube or 4chan. Not much else you can do
>>736813775How is 4chan fun?
>>736813964It's fun when you love stomping on bots and trannies!
>>736813775Stop using the sites.Start getting back into games with bite size chunks (load up games you like and play like one level)Slowly start playing more and more at a time.Don't go back to the sites, block them if you have to, get your socialization fix from real life instead
>>736813775I think you have a gaming problem.
[Sad News]
>>736813775What helped me was getting my primary method of visiting this site IP range banned recently for no reason. I guess it was related to my adblock according to /g/. Now I have to come here on my phone. And I hate that.
For me it's instagram reels
>>736813775Just stop everything. Turn off all your screens and go outside. Read a book.
I know this is hypocritical since I'm here saying it but ultimately it comes down to 1) realizing that you are missing out on nothing, it's same bait threads and images all day every day, you don't really care about the latest eceleb drama and filling the captcha just to some faggot a faggot is too much work2) you can spend that time doing productive things or engaging with your hobbies or even dedicating that time to yourself and activities that are actually fulfilling, imagine if instead of all those shitposts and all those hours spend on youtube or 4chan you learned a skill or went to a gym or somethingtldr leave this shithole while you still can and never look back
>>736813775Try putting a youtube video on the 2nd monitor whilst you play a game, like jerking off under the table whilst doing work.
>>736813775Do you use them on PC or mobile? The latter is easy, just use your phone less, which will also be a general boost to your mental health. The former will require self-control. Just reach for Steam or the game's .exe instead of your web browser.>inb4 "I game on my phone"Get a real handheld.
>>736813964(You) addiction
>>736813775Starting a game is the hardest part so you just have to suck it up, beyond that playing should come natural as long as you find the game fun.If you wanna grind backlogs I recommend not giving yourself a breather between games, automate sucking up the introductory part to keep your engine running.
>>736813775You know I understand YouTube because it's fucking youtube it's literally where videos are, but 4chan? This place gets boring once you realize how much samefagging happens I maintain the opinion that if all boards get a random id per anon per thread it would make this less of a shit hole
>>736813775Find proper appreciation for vidya
>>736813775sounds like you should go cold turkey on these sites, they're ruining your attention span
>>736813775Artistically focus on a game til youre done?Get two monitors run jewtube in the background while you play fictorio or some shit.
Just put a live stream on a 2nd monitor like everyone else
>>736813775What game are you trying to finish? We need to know if the effort is worth it or not.
>>736814569everything repeats itself over time. same baits, same outrage. once you notice the patterns you start typing some snarky reply but go whatever, is this worth my time? I'm 33 and stepping towards death each day. close site.
>>736814680not telling because you guys don't have good taste
>>736813775Nothing, enjoy life Play competitive broodwar/aoe2 if you want to feel something different (struggle and reward)
>>736814281Most books suck, you should say read a good book.
>>736813775Don't expect real like-minded people are posting in this site.Anonymity here makes it easy for you to project yourself to others, but in actuality you are talking with a pajeet, thirdworlders, timmy the toddler, fat pig, or mentally disabled, this place is no different from Reddit.Conversating with these people is not worth your time so help yourself, and god help me.
>>736815005Read Lolita
>>736813775I have the same problem, the answer? Willpower, really
I started writing down the games I beat and giving them a score. It makes me feel like I'm beating the games for a reason, even though no one cares and its only for me.
>>736815324I stream/record my playthroughs for the same reason, even if nobody sees the vods
>>736815324post it.
>>736815748
>>736816085Damn this is some boring choices
>>736813964Im addicted to saving pictures of cute anime girls and sometimes you guys are funny
>>736816085Interesting. Thanks for sharing.Why specify Game Pass, though? Does not buying the game influence your opinion of it?
>>736817292I pirated every game besides Elden Ring DLC. I had a free month of Game Pass to play all the Denuvo games on Game Pass
>>736813775So true. Holy shit.
play a game and put youtube in the background/picture-in-picture modedouble dopamine!!
>>736813775>>736817670Do what I did. Get yourself a Switch 2 with Donkey Kong, and alternate between it and Neverwinter Nights.
>>736818192I got a Switch 2 and finished DKB (great game). But it actually cure my jewtube addiction at all. It just temporarily stopped it.
>>736818306100% it and get the DLC then, seems to work.
>>736818306didn't*
>>736813775I watch video game playthroughs on Youtube because I don't know how to multitask drawing and vidya at the same time
>>736818017I can't do that.I can't even listen to podcasts while playing the most basic games.
>>736813775Install TikTok, Xitter and Instagram and then get a Discord e-gf. Your dopamine will be through the fucking roof. 4chan and YouTube are nothing compared to these.
i hate the internet so much it's unreal
>>736818453Can you post something of yours that can't be traced to an account on another site?
>>736818495sounds like you're just very retarded!!try your best!!!
>>736818596Sorry I can only focus on one thing at the time.
>>736813775I've been addicted to internet forums since about 2002. Every once in a while something will pull me away for a couple days, but the sheer novelty, porn, and high standard for intellectual discourse means 4chan has more replay value than any video game
>>736818580Same
I quit 4chan for 5 years and not much changed, kind of weird.
>>736815324For me it's taking a screencap to every anime I cum to. Only started doing it a year ago, would be around 500 probably if I had all of them, current folder is just 115.
>>736818682>high standard for intellectual discourseyes, unironically, i come back for the high iq conversationsi havent been able to find them anywhere else. hackernews has the technical intelligence maybe, but not the say anything you want attitude that really brings out the genuine conversations here. and i dont want to talk about some dude jacking off over some arduino project
>>736818838it sounds like a joke, but I know what you mean. Everything else is just that dumb. You go on most parts of the internet, and nothing is being said at all. I've tried to get along with Discord. It makes me crazy. Stop sending me fucking emojis.
>>736813964>How is 4chan fun?You guys occasionally make me chuckle.
>>736813775Websites are often specifically designed to give a dopamine boost in an attempt to show more ads. 4chan is unchanged enough from a design ~20 years old that it doesn't have as much of that. Still, a website that constantly updates with new things is addicting as long as you like some of those new things. The digital skinner box is so bewitching that someone has to intentionally avoid spending more time on it than they should, though.
>>736813964It's not fun, it's a textbook gambling addiction. 99.9% of the time you'll be wasting your time reading the most inane bullshit imaginable and yet you still pray for that 0.1% that's actually funny or interesting. Also a hoarding addiction for funny reaction images and the occasional nugget of dopamine you get from shitposting.
>>736813913>not open sourceno thanks
>>736816085IGN scores, IGN games. Good bait.
>>736820029tfw I've been here for almost 20 years and wish I hoarded more shit from the old daysit's interesting seeing the kind of shit that falls in and out of favor
>>736813775use it as a toole.g. games better than 4chan>RDR>Uncharted 4>Far Cry 5>Horizon Zero Dawn>Witcher 3>CP2077>The Outer Worlds>The Outer Worlds II>Tokyo Extreme Racer>Dockedgames worse than 4chan>DOOM & Doom Eternal>RDR2>Metro Exodus>Mewgenics>Elden Ring>Expedition 33at the moment I'm trying to play BG3 but all the characters are so unsympathetic I'm afraid 4chan will slay it
>>736820285>wish I hoarded more shit from the old dayssameI have a reaction image folder with over a thousand images and that's all from the past few years.
