How do you actually quit playing an addictive or life destroying game? Uninstall it and never even watch others play it?
>>737127708shame and embarrassment usually does the trick
>>737127708>Life destroyingDon’t be so dramatic What are we talking about here ? Competetive multiplayer ? Gacha ?
>>737127708Yes. The trick to giving something up is you need to either>get mad about what it is and what it does to you, even though you like itor>really want to not do it any moreso either get mad at the game or get mad at the people who make it shitit is OK to like what the game was so long as you admit you are chasing the dragon but will never catch ityou love how you felt when you first played ityou want how it made you feel before the SHIT was revealedrealise this and get MAD you got trickedget PISSED and quit out of spiteand remind yourself they NEVER improve every time a friend says "hey the latest banner is good tho
>>737127958For me its MOBA games
>>737128032Fair enough.For me it was CS with over 3000+ hours, had to quit cold turkey. I’m glad I did tho.Getting banned is also the last way out
>>737127708She's a pervert.
>>737127708I quit GBF after spending $1000 on it overall. I was worried that it would be the wrong thing to do but I realized it would go on forever and life is worth more. There were times I was in the Top 10k players and it was fun so I was satisfied and left.tl;dr achieve some kind of a fun goal for this game that's reachable for you and then you can leave it satisfied.
>>737127973I read this in his voice and it hits harder
>>737127708I usually get bored of a videogame after a while. If you keep playing when ur not having fun than u need more hobbies. For me its guitar and lit. But then again I dont play any competitive multi-player games because I think most people take them too seriously.
>>737127708>>737128193Literally me
I quit playing dota 2 years ago but I always have some dota stream open as background noise, its my version of TV
I have a confession to makeI have 350 hours in VR Chat
>>737127708>Uninstall it and never even watch others play itpretty much this, did this with WT and avoided the furry and the aviator with the thick accent like the plague
>>737127708I actually enjoy Warframe’s gameplay but I despise leveling, forma-ing, and pretty much any sort of forced prestige/re-level mechanics in any game so I dropped it.At the very least they should let us save builds in game and auto reinstall mods when you have space again so I don’t have to take a fucking picture of my build every time I forma something.
>>737128193You can't actally sit down with them inserted because the wires in the neck will break due to shitty design
IDK how I did it with DBD
>>737129086Thanks for sharing your experience.
>>737127708Redirect your compulsive behavior towards something else, like drugs and alcohol.
You have to just quit and never engage (play/watch anything about it) anymore. I did it with WoW
>>737127708Burn out then make another game my obsession of the week
>>737127708Uninstall it. There is no cage, there is no key, you must simply walk away.
Be a game developer and see how those games condition you. You will see how much time is really worth.
>>737128447>350 hoursAnon that's genuinely rookie numbers. I've clocked ~4000 over the past 5-6 years and I'm on the more conservative side (usually only getting on for 3-5 hour sessions a couple of times a week at most).
>>737128193I'm not into buttplay, is there a pussy version?
Depending on your game, you intentionally get permanently banned and then all subsequent accounts you inevitably create whenever you get the itch get banned for ban evading.After twenty or so accounts you will give up.
>>737130895Yes, the Gush 4.
>>737127708Just stop.
>>737127708>Uninstall it and never even watch others play it?yeah pretty much.when Team fortress 2 had that terrible ass matchmaking update I jsut sold all my items and moved on.When my dad switched to a shitty internet provider I simply stopped playing dota2 or any online MP game at all.When I got so mad I sucked at a fighting game to the point of anger I just stopped playing it as well.Same thing happened to deadlock recently but I might actually go back to it after the game actually releases for real.
>>737127708I quit RE9 because zombies got back up
>>737130648It feels like 1000 hours sometimes and time just moves too quick and all i do is talk to 1 person if i im lucky
Ive been playing sea of thieves since day 1 as a solo sloop and with every passing update i have at least a few sessions where im completely miserable by the end. If i want less randoms starting shit for no reason should i play Arc Raiders or is it getting bad there too?
>>737127708I relapsed into Dota this week
Unironically just go cold turkey on it and drop it then see how much happier you become without it. I did this with Honkai Impact 3rd and my life suddenly became happier. Then I started another gacha and became miserable again
>>737129189>Open any steam profile with a person who has hundreds of hours in DBD>Entire comment section is seething and raging at person
>>737127708I just play something else and then realize what a total piece of garbage that other game was.
>>737128447Say what
>>737133248What the fuck, thats gold lmao also: Someone shouldve told him that the refridgerator actually uses more power to cool down new things you put into it
>>737133248I meanYeah.At some point I think "Am I having fun, or is this work?"
Just go cold turkey, its remarkable how quickly you can ween yourself off a game that you dont enjoy by doing literally anything else.
>>737133248BASED post
>>737130648How many of those hours were spent in front of a mirror.
>>737127708TF2 was the game that constantly plagued my life. One day I finally realized I wasn't enjoying the game after looking through countless screenshots and recordings of me getting shitstomped for thousands upon thousands of hours and realizing I have never had fun with the game. Immediately sold my entire inventory, uninstalled the game, and never looked back.Sometimes I get tempted to return on the occasion I watch animations like those made by StBlackSt, but I just remind myself that nothing is going to change and it's usually enough to stop myself. Still, that's 6,000 hours of my life I'm never getting back, and it's my biggest regret in life. Fuck Team Fortress 2.
>>737136084Very few honestly. Group mirror-dwelling is low-class activity.(although I often have a personal mirror only visible by myself up on the side to posture-check/gesture-check myself)
>>737136158TF2 is the least offensive game listed of all these posts if im being honest. Im gonna play the MvM update even if we assume it will suck just because i like playing community MvM tours.
>>737136697I just could never have fun with it. No matter what I did, what class I picked, what weapons I used, what maps I played, nothing was fun when I would just get dominated and spawn camped by Soldierfags and Demo mains. I kept trying and trying and trying to find the fun in the game that everyone else has with no effort, but I couldn't find it. Everyone has a limit and I hit mine finally.
>>737133248This illustrates it really well, saved
>>737133248>gacha stuff at the bottomThe whole point of doing things like clearing out event shops in gachas is so that when you pull a new character you can have them basically maxed out immediately, or at least that's why I do it. Though usually only enough for one character, after which I then spend all of my stamina on the resource that's the most hard to acquire in whatever game I'm playing. Unless there's a new event or story content, I'll very rarely spend more than 15 minutes a day auto battling in the one gacha I'm playing right now, which is kind of freeing, at least compared to before when I was playing a gacha that required me to login 3 times to day to prevent a cap on resources and the resource missions I was grinding had no auto or skip option
Maybe try having some self control you retarded faggot.
>>737127708>Competitive multiplayer gamesThey all fucking suck and I'm glad I quit for good
>>737137980I just ate two entire boxes of oreo cakesters
>>737139263but overwatch is good again...
>>737140094fuck those are good
Just turn it off, just walk away.
>>737128032The fact that assfaggot filters /v/ proves how bad the average gamer on this board are at video-games.
>>737141773sure, you totally broke through the forced 50% winrate and are one of the top players in the world, totally
>>737141858>muh winrate>not playing with friends and just enjoying the gameSounds like a (You) problem.
>>737128193but women don't have a prostate, how do they enjoy butt stuff?
>>737141934then you aren't "good at the game", just avoiding actual ranked and comp, lmao>anons are bad at assfaggots>you're good at them?>no i just play casuallysit down
>>737133170say what
>>737142052Am I talking to a newfaggot? It filters most of /v/ because most of the posts are nothing about complains.Complains about the meta, the team, the learning curve. Meanwhile I've been playing DotA since 2005 (quit at 2017 because of life responsibilities) and never had this problem, sure it can get stressful but it's nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe it's your autism that prevents you from having fun at the game.If you're interested, my highest rank before I quit was 4.8K mmr, that was during 2017 so I don't know how it translate to today.You're bad, don't ever strawman posts on this board ever again, you don't know shit.
Reminder that if I win, you suck, but if I lose, you're a cheating faggot.
>>737142042Women like to take shits too.
>>737127708Think about everything else you could realistically do and ask yourself if it would be more worthwhile, this includes playing other games, watching a movie, jerking off, etc. Once you get that answer it should make quitting easier.
>>737139263The only good one was reflex arena and it's dead. Like quake 3 but even better movement wise. We used to run tournaments and everything. Great scene.
>>737127708remind myself that games are supposed to be fun and if I'm not enjoying myself then I should play something else
>>737133248this isn't Bidoof's Law
>>737127708>made a pro-tranny comicDead to me. Dead!
I'm the type of person who likes to see and do everything in a game so I can get super addicted to an "endless" game like WoW or Runescape but once I hit the point where I feel like I've done everything I want to do I can quit cold turkey no problem. I actually played a WotLK private server last year so eh but I haven't touched OSRS in like 10 years because I did basically all the original content and I don't give a shit about any of the new shit.
>>737129189Same. Pure miracle I guess. I manage to hop off at 1000 hours. Whenever I can't fight the urge and end up back on it, I quickly get overwhelmed by all the new content and changes and uninstall. I don't want to be bullied for having 1000 hours and playing like a fucking retard.
>>737127708Overwatch. I got so violently roasted by my team for playing the wrong character and reported when I got tilt that I started crying and deleted all the files in rage and just sobbed on the couch for 30 minutes. I stopped playing anything competitive after that point, I mentally can’t handle losing, and I get ugly when I compete with others. Tried again with Pokemon cards a few years later and cussed out some people, sold my cards and never looked back a month later.
>>737145749Was it wotlk 5 or warmane?
>>737133248Exactly the ideology that got me to stop playing One Piece treasure Cruise. It died shortly after, lol.
>>737140094hot
