this is probably the best answer imo. This does sound like genuine addiction, and OP’s best bet might just be to work with a therapist on breaking the loop that makes gaming such a honey trap for them.
Sorry to hear about this mate. As someone else mentioned, perhaps it’s the type of game you play? I enjoy gaming and can moderate fine. However, recently started playing Overwatch (hey another Blizzard game) and noticed I got addicted. Couldn’t stop playing, thought about it a lot, etc. Reminded me of being addicted to alcohol or other drugs.
I quit playing OW2, and the urges to play started to get easier, and I enjoy gaming again.
This is exactly what I’m doing right now. I play a game that I can play for 2 hours daily max and it’s fine, I can do without it easily. I also fell into the OW2 trap and I became unbearable to the people around me.
I feel like I didn’t word myself properly because I haven’t played WoW or any of the “problematic” games for 6 months now. I managed to keep myself occupied with cross stitching and books. It’s when I see footage/hear music that I get these feelings of wanting to play again.
I also fell into the OW2 trap and I became unbearable to the people around me.
Exactly this. I became grumpy and angry, couldn’t stop “because I just have to win once” and felt like an addict. It’s a very similar feeling to alcohol which I quit 5 years ago.
Take care. Good on you for managing it with other hobbies!
Anyone getting Minecraft: Bedrock Edition to work now? What version do you launch? I’ve followed a couple of guides but it just crashes when I press Play. Using the one that requires a purchase on the Google play store. Needs to be bedrock to multiplayer with Android.
Putting the connotation aside for a moment, is it even accurate to call people who are interested on niche secondary gaming devices as "normies"? Whatever may be their backgrounds, seems to me like they are dedicated gaming enthusiasts.
I have managed to stay off the hype train quite a bit, so honest question: Is the game good? I’ve possibly perhaps all the 80s and 90s AD&D crpgs, and both Baldur’s Gates, and I mostly liked them.
Part of the hype train is that the game is reviewing incredibly well. And Larian is well-known for making high-quality games in the vein of those old crpgs. I know they worked very hard to faithfully adapt 5th edition, so if you’re a fan of the old games, this seems like a good one to get!
I’ve never been much for crpgs (I do play DND though) and haven’t gotten very far into the game because it’s hot as balls right now in the PNW, but from the bit I have played it is very fun.
It’s not perfect or anything, but it feels like a release with very pure intentions and people seem to resonate with that. No micro transactions, no lootboxes, no DRM (not even Steam’s is implemented), no release day DLC, fast hotfixing, and maybe with the promise of classic expansion packs. The sort of practices that people want to encourage, packaged with a formidable and generally well put together game.
When bigger, more corporate dev studios come out and give it free marketing by saying how unrealistic it is to make games like it… that’s free, excellent publicity.
It’s also bright and colourful and slightly cartoonish in a way that, say, Pillars of Eternity wasn’t. I wonder if this makes it feel slightly more mainstream, slightly more ‘fun’, and a bit less like a stodgy old CRPG from yesterday (and to be clear, I loved PoE the way I loved BG and BG2).
It’s also got enough wild shit in it to grab a few headlines that way.
Yeah, it feels a bit less grimy doom and gloom, despite the narrative and themes. Being fully voice acted, and well, helps to no end with what can otherwise turn in to a wall of text reading slog.
trudny temat, bo produkcja lokalna jest zdecydowanie droższa, więc ciężko żeby te ciuchy były za “normalne” pieniądze. mógłbyś też zdefiniować co to dla ciebie oznacza, czyli np ile byś chciał dać za koszulkę (zazwyczaj to koszt 80-90-100zł)
ja wybieram:
second handy
wymianki np sąsiedzkie, ze zajomymi
vinted i podobne strony
freeshopy
ciuchy z różnych inicjatyw, jeśli wiem jak są produkowane (raczej nietanie niestety)
może uda ci się znaleźć kogoś szyjącego i będziecie w stanie się dogadać na jakiś barter
lewacka szmata ma rozstrzał cenowy, bo ozdabia też używane ciuchy
unipride - tęczowe ciuchy produkowane w pl, koszulki od 70 zł, bluzy chyba 140 zł
Dzięki za odpowiedź. 100 zł za koszulkę to nie jakiś dramat o ile oczywiście nie jest szyta w biednym kraju a pracownik zarabia więcej niż parę dolarów tygodniowo.
Przeglądałem jakiś czas temu niektóre sklepy z tym całym fair trade, i trzeba przyznać że niektórzy mają ogromną fantazję jeśli chodzi o ceny. Dlatego szukam czegoś, gdzie bluza nie będzie kosztowała 400-600 zł.
I did this to a PNY drive once and they RMAd it for me! I was up front and said it was 100% my fault and I had already had it for a few years. If you’ve got a laptop that has a mounted slot you can probably slide it in to get any data you need off of it
This whole quest scene was so unexpected, disturbing, hilarious and made me fall in love with the game. The timer for this choice makes the situation feel like a real intense JESUS FUCK WHAT DO I DO moment
