I'm in rehab for my drinking and there's some teetotal bullshit going on where there's no vidya allowed. All I have is this piece of shit ideapad 3 with an integrated graphics chip.

I was chugging gta:sa at like 12fps with low graphics.

All I can get working stable so far is Darkest Dungeon, OpenMW and ZDoom.

Help me out /v/

Well you have OpenMW, so what's the problem?

>I was chugging
heh
nice freudian slip

anyway, rehab doesn't want you getting rid of your addiction that's why they don't permit any kind of mental stimulation
they want you relapsing when you're out and coming back
like a cult

Emulate GBA, easily enough fun games to many months. Try PSX, not running gta sa sounds rough but try an older emulator maybe, that shit ran on anything

Focus on your drinking anon, good luck

good luck with rehab OP
maybe grab an old roguelike like ADOM or Nethack

That sucks. You should drink to deal with the boredom.
>>
>>726053974
Do you have a mouse? Headphones?
Best bet would be to play some of the classics and other games where fps isn't a big deal.
Alpha Centauri would work and is a solid top ten game, even today.
FTL and Into the Breach would run fine, SNES/Genesis/DS/3DS emulators, Star Control 2, Age of Empires/Mythology would probably be fine too.

>>726053974
For me it'd be a GBA emulator with Warioland 4 and Pokemon Crystal

Don't use OpenMW, instead use MWSE and get the "voices of vvarfenfell" mod, it gives every npc voiced diolouge using their actual npc voice

poorfag rehabs do. rehab facilities for wealthy people are exponentially more comfortable and effective compared to facilities covered by normie healthcare. normie rehabs are a disgrace and an insult to people seeking help

just dont drink lmao dont do drugs it's not hard just stop eat/drink/smoking whatever it is you do lol
>>
>>726053974
Drinking, porn, and masturbation are not addiction, you just bored because you dont have a productive hobby (no, vidya is not productive). Like try to write or draw or something, learn music, i dont know. You just lost gazillion of your goybucks for useless rehabilitation treatment that can be cured by a simple pencil and paper

this is how retarded you sound, and are right back on the track to drinking again

>drinking is not an addiction
Drinking is an addiction in its most literal meaning, you develop a physical dependency. 99% sure this is bait

I dont get it. Its extremely easy to NOT do something. Just don't do it. Its only hard to do things. For example its extremely easy to stop eating junk food just dont eat it. But its hard to go to the gym as that requires active effort. So just dont drink alcohol? Its like when I was a teen my mom said I was addicted to video games so I stopped playing them entirely for 3 years to show her I wasn’t addicted at all. How do people struggle with NOT doing things?????? This is extremely confusing to me. Not doing something requires zero effort.

I dont get it though. How is it hard to not do something? Like if you told me I had to go to the gym everyday Id be liek fuck that no way too much effort. But if you said ok dont eat any chocolate for a year id be like ok no problem. Not doing something is easy. Just dont do it. This is genuinely extremely confusing to me. Its like when they had me on pain pill for surgery I had and they told me they would be addictive and I'd have withdrawals and shit but I just stopped taking them when they ran out and I felt fine and didn’t feel like I had to have any more.

>>726063887
They are in the same level of 'addiction' as porn and masturbation a.k.a. escapism in form of entertainment and recreation that people mistake as addiction.
There's literally no substance in alcohol that could hook you up to that product for the rest of your life like drugs. Not trying to offend OP, in fact I try to help him (and his wallet) out of this stupid manmade gaslight by society that are keep mistaking escapism as an addiction
>>
>>726065040
Maybe you just have a very addiction-resistant personality, or are just mentally strong. For me, just gaming is already like a drug

>>726065493
One of my friends back in high school told me I was too lazy to get addicted to anything so he may have been correct.

That's not a terrible trait to have.
>>
>>726053974
try out a roguelike like tome4, caves of qud etc
emulating gba / snes / ps1 isnt a bad idea either
if that doesn't do it try
shows / manga / books
>>
>>726065475
What do you define as true addiction, and what separates alcoholism from other drug addictions? You could say it's the degree of severity, but where do you draw the line? I'm having a hard time understanding the separation between escapism and addiction. Isn't compulsively escaping to any activity and being unable to stop it, addiction? I will not comment on the rehabilitation issue as I don't know shit about rehab.
