Gaming, especially some live service games, have some pretty shady stuff designed to suck you in and waste your life but that is also true of social media platforms from which Mr Beast makes his millions. It's no different to any other entertainment or timesink.

Don't play games and give others money, watch my videos which give my bank account a boost.

I am not really sure humanity is lasting much longer. I know I'm getting embarrassed though.
 
I have a wife, a fat belly and I am like a richest guy in my building.... in my apartment.... in my head.
But who needs them kids. They would take the time away from gaming

Fuck off.

Imagine taking any kind of life advice from a soulless empty husk of what is supposed to be a man.

Mr. Beast has like a 5 second clip in this in this video in its entirety. He's just using his name because it's recognizable. I agree Mr. Beast seems super weird. Even in the clip provided he's doing this super dorky fake smile that feels like a mask. That's not the point of the video nor the message, though.
 
I haven't played a video game in more than a month because I want my CISSP


I said it in your last thread: don't blame video games for your lack of motivation to better yourself or your life
 
I think I just bought 5 games for Switch 2 TODAY. Plus a couple of 10 foot USB c cables so it's easier to play in bed. Suffice it to say...I'm not watching this.

Good for you for not playing video games. You see how real life is better than the real world and I applaud you for seeing it where few do.

You bought five games, many of which are 80-90 dollars. You really should watch it. It will be good for you.

I mean, there's braindead gaming (gacha, escapist gaming like WoW, etc that can lead to things like self neglect and social isolation) and there's intellectual gaming -- strategy,skill based games that require focus, diligence, fine motor thinking that we know can translate positively into high paying fields like general surgery and prevent us from developing dementia

That being said, I have no idea what I'm talking about . gl
 
Or .. and hear me out.... just put major priorities first.

Everyone acts as if everything is black and white , yes or no. either you are on a diet and eating nothing or you are eating everything.

I game maybe an hour a day if possible but that's after work and family. After my kids sports , after we all sit down for dinner. After watching a show or 2 with the wife. Then either I go to sleep or I play a game for an hour first.

Let's see these same kinds of videos on music, movies, TV shows, theater, novels, basically anything that gives joy in life. Let's just be productive little slaves earning money and working hard until we are in our graves.
 
Meh. If I'm entertained then it's good for me, that's how I'm thinking about it. I just don't play online and I play games when all the other stuff is done, then it's not a problem. And I also mix it up with other hobbies, it's not like gaming is all I do on my freetime.

This is right in line with the "ban porn" people. This is where they're going. Just have to eliminate a few more roadblocks and they'll reach utopia guys.

GAAS and social media. It's like your heroin dealer giving you grief when he finds out you've been smoking crack.
 
"I wish I had quit _______ sooner" can apply to most things in life. Especially entertainment and double especially watching things like youtube videos.
 
think the over-arching problem here isn't necessarily that games keep you from having a life, it's just that you never had the courage to make one for yourself.

Yup that is basically the angle of all those videos,

Its the same playbook -paint video games or (insert any other hobby) as the reason for not being able to get ahead in life. End the video with "buy my course or watch my content to improve" aka "give me money so you can be a better man" lmao.
 
Don't play games. Don't watch TV or movies. Don't read books or poetry. Don't go to the theatre. Don't listen to music. Do not experience art. Remember that only the grind matters: stack that cash so you can grind to stack that cash.
 
Why don't they talk about gaming in moderation because that does exist. You don't always need to be playing, but why do you have to quit period.

Maybe the people in this video couldn't achieve that type of moderation.

You have to completely quit to purify yourself, be born again, and restart your natural testosterone production. Only then can you score a wife that wears a handkerchief over her hair and doesn't use birth control.

A lot of people are poo-poohing the OP, but honestly, quitting gaming is exactly what I'm planning on. I have a few weeks set aside for one last Total War campaign and then I'm done for good. Excited to start some healthier hobbies!

Thanks for the video op, i didnt watched it yet but i added it to my backlog. I promiss i watch it when i fish all the games i still want to play. If you have a link for a video teaching how to touch grass and how to watch paint dry i would love those too. They will come in handy after i quit gaming.
