The Importance of Quitting Video Games 

This video needs to be viral. I'm glad that I have the honor of the first comment. I already made the decision of quitting FIFA since I have been playing the game for 8 years. Now I'm quitting the game to release my potential in my studies, my fitness and my football. A English footballer Tammy Abraham A.S. Roma's current Striker once said:" I'm not playing FIFA because I'm working on being on FIFA". the guy now has a great card in the game and one of the best young English strikers in the world of football.

Exactly as you said to people that disagree, it's a personal experience and many of us may share the same feeling: I'm missing something else in life... I was suffering due to heavy anxiety so I went cold turkey on video games and porn, and well my life changed 180°, everything so far is better, no more anxiety or depression or anything just clearer mind, best relationship with my gf.... Nice to see the people are feeling the same, (sorry 4 bad English btw ) .... Keep it up dude

I recently quit video games three months ago because I realised that playing from age 10 to 27 actually stopped my brain from growing. I feel like I don’t have the social skills of an adult and I’ve gone nowhere in my career. Gaming is as bad as any other addiction.

I once read a quote that said "The time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time" and I have been using that as an excuse to justify my gaming habits to myself, but in the past couple years the looming feeling that I am missing out on more than I realize has been growing and this video came to me as proof of that. Thank you for sharing this, I will get better!

This video needs to be viral. You covered all the important aspects and reasons about quitting video games. I don’t miss any day playing them (sorry for the bad English)

I agree with this. I’ve been gaming damn near my whole life. They hold a special place for sure. But, going from sht factory job to sht factory job, my desire to rise from is way stronger now. I don’t even have an urge that strong to play anymore. I suggest people make a daily checklist of productive task before doing any leisure activities. For example a few of mine are 100 push ups minimum, 30mins-1hr books, 30mins-1hr of studying business. Depending on how much time you have left in your day after your task, you can consider leisure like gaming but limit yourself as Finicio said if you must play.

Very well said my man, as a former gamer myself(at 31 1/2 that quit back in March this yr) it actually feels good to quit cold, turkey and get out there in the real world with real achievements out there. I’m surprised this video. Hasn’t gone viral. It needs to. Keep up the great work. And thank you for this video. And thank you for letting me comment. #RealLifeFunForTheWin.

I am 19, and most of my life I was playing video games. I always thought that when you enjoy spending time gaming, its not a waste of time. Now I am month clean, making progress learning a language I was always wanting to learn, and next week I am going to the boxing gym. Next month I will be getting a job too. All that in one month because I wanted to do this. My life is doing 180 already; I am done playing video games all day. I want to have friends and live like a normal young guy in his best years.

See, I disagree with the part about there are other men that are grinding and hustling to complete their goals. Thats just it. It's THEIR goals. Some of my goals involve video games. Im healthy, I have a job, I'm in college, I have a girlfriend, plus my extracurricular activities I do and I still put 20-40 hours a week into video games. I don't feel like I have too play them I just have goals in those video game I want to compete.

7:30 My dad always reminded me of this when I was a kid. It never really made sense until I started living on my own. The freedom was cool and all, I could play video games all night and sleep whenever I want. Until there was a time that I couldn't get any work done because I would rather just sit and play games all day. No one was coming to save me, I had to make a change. Such a great video. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

When I’m bored I have been trying out reading biographies. They are distracting enough, but at the same time you’re reading true stories about real people you can learn from. You can also tailor the people to what you want to learn. For example; business? Read biographies about entrepreneurs.

Immagine u die tomorrow and ur only achievements in life are on a video game that will probably be forgotten in around 3-5 years... But u still have time, u still can be "he was a good guy and a great engineer, doctor, lawyer, manager, designer, entrepeneur, artist (or what ever u want to do with ur life)"

A reason why I rarely play games recently is, that not only I am being tired after a job, but also I have more of the other activities such as working out, drawing, participating in the communities, etc. A proof of this is recording videos much rarely than I used to back before 2022. Recently I mostly play them with the guests. However I still take them to the soccer matches. The more joy I am having by playing table games with my family.

video games are ok in moderation I think story games are good and games u play with friends. But competitive games are no bueno

the problem is i believe a large percentage of people who quit video games replace it with internet, TV, social media... (myself included). probably, ADD and ADHD is more the issue here with most folks who are addicted to video games

Great video brother! I literally quit video games a year ago and my life changed for the better, in so many different ways. I’m in the process of editing a video on quitting video games and I decided I’d research what others are saying as well. You just earned yourself a subscriber. Well done mate. With consistency I can see you being extremely successful on RU-vid

I actually just started thinking of walking away from gaming. I've slowly started playing less and less. I actually don't know at this moment the last time I played. Going to take the extra time I have to improve my health.

Great video 👍. It just happened naturally that I prefer to spend my free time on more productive things nowadays rather than video games. I've had more fun playing a new sport, learning cooking and even cleaning my backyard than gaming. In my opinion, gaming provides an empty accomplishment, i could beat a game and get that trophy but what then? How would that platinum trophy improve me as a person? There's nothing wrong with gaming, but at the same time we need to be wary of how we spend our free time as time goes on. We don't wanna look back and regret where we invested our time to. There is more to spending free time than video games (and other consumption-heavy hobbies)

After getting two video game-related injuries one day, it dawned on me what a waste of time playing video games was for me, and the care, craftsmanship, and magic of video games are dead. I don’t miss it one bit. Now, I invest that time working out and leveling up in real life.

Thanks for this video. I haven't quit video games yet, but I am trying to reduce the amount of time going towards them.

I realised this 3 years ago i quitted vidéo games fully rn i feel im more productive and i have a good set of friends rather i practised and gained on my 3rd language and started teaching that language and it brought me some income . i started gaining financial knowladge and that one thing about leaving gaming and being myself actually helped me reached my goals and get into my fav university.

You blessing of the algerithm? I stumbled onto your channel just now and damn happy to find you, good video dude, thanks

I think I have come to that age where I realised it was never worth investing the amount of times I did into video games. I could have made friends when I started University but nope, I just played video games with online friends who at the end of the day don't mean anything as they are just there to have a laugh with you and call it a day.

If a person relaxes in the evening with a couple of hours of Netflix this is ok. This topic will never come up lol. So your extremely productive and never relax. I completely disagree with quitting. I play a few hours at night and I'm way more productive than most non gamers.

For me I just started doing more and more things until video games slowly got squeezed out of my life, because I had less and less time to play them.

good important video especially as you get older you will start to reflect on your life and want to quit distraction thats taking your whole time and gaming is a good reason to either quit or a huge break off of so you can have time to take care of yourself mind, body and spirit

CODM is undeniably addictive due to its thrilling gameplay, constant updates, and engaging progression system. It's not just about the youth; players of all ages can get hooked. It's really crucial for people to have responsible gaming habits. Gaming is fun, but it's important to strike a healthy balance in life.

im about to quit competitiv games good video im tired of being unrproductiv ty sir

“You can’t do anything unless it makes you money”- no one

Thank you so much, very inspirational. I’ve been playing video games since I was like 15 years old or possibly younger I’m now 22 going on 23 and realized how many years I’ve wasted of my life playing video games. I could have spent that time going to the gym, learning martial arts or any combat defense because I was never taught how to fight. Or even playing sports in school but instead of doing those normal things kids do in school I’ve decided to isolate myself from the real world and live in a virtual reality for years and waste my time playing video games. I need to make a change, I play like 7-8hrs it’s ridiculous. I want to make a schedule to workout, read books to improve my intelligence and develop a more social status in life and much much more. There’s so much more to this world than playing video games instead of leveling up in a delusional world we should all focus on leveling up our real life character. Thank you once again! Very inspiring

Every video that speaks on the truth of video games and why it’s beneficial is ALWAYS made with the OP needing to state “I know I’ll get backlash for it”, which ironically shows why video game addiction and even “moderate” gaming is a problem. I can tell people coping in the comments can’t accept the fact that they can highly benefit from doing near anything else instead of using throat time to play video games.

Great way to see things mate. Keep it up!

Thanks for making this video I really needed it. I’m 2 months free from playing any video games and my life has drastically improved. Although many times I have felt tempted to come back, I would always remind myself of the life I really wanted. And by doing that I prevent myself from playing games.

Thanks for showing up right before the new year, i will be watching a few of these as im getting ready for next year and the resolutions. Good on you for making a video and sharing it with the internet. Have a great 2024, cheers

Just sold my gaming pc a couple months back. Pretty much the only time I've thought about it since is when I look at the tub I put next to the desk where my pc was and went,"Oh yeah. I had a pc" And then went on with my day. Trouble is my main group of friends just wants to play video games when we get together and my family only wants to sit in front of the tv after work. Not me, though. I'm gonna do my own thing.

Thanks man whenever i get the urge and strong craving to play, i come here to keep motivating myself.

Okay you win, I'm going to try this. Recently realized my entire life is consumed by video games, when i'm not playing games i'm on twitch consuming video game content, when i'm not on twitch i'm on youtube consuming video game content, when i'm not on youtube im on discord watching my friends play games, when i'm not on discord i'm thinking about video games. I rarely spend more than 2 hours a day actually doing anything productive that benefits me. I worked out yesterday, and my first thing though was time to reward myself. And proceeded to spend the next 6 hours on discord and games. Couldn't do something productive for 2 hours, but was fine playing video games for 6 straight? Don't think I'm strong enough to dry quit. I don't have some overarching goal, something that drives me all day everyday. I obviously have a desire to improve myself like most people and can identify good habits from bad ones. And I have thought, Ive taken the advice of sitting in my room and just thinking. And there was really nothing that made me feel that way. But that isn't an excuse to just waste my life away either. I can at least start preparing myself for when I eventually find my purpose. And I'm going to start today. 2 hours a day (Genuinely dont think I can do this tbh because of how much of a socialization video games actually take up, but i'll genuinely try) of playing / twitch / youtube / discord. I can spend all 2 however i want, but after that 2 i have to go do something else. I have a lot of projects I've wanted to work on. Just to build my portfolio as a human being. But i never stick to them, easier to play video games. So hopefully with that crutch of entertainment I can start working on them. And hopefully by the time the semester rolls around I can go weeks without playing games and actually focus on school next semester (something i can say going into my second year of college, I have never genuinely done, which is kinda sad)

Thank you Finicio!.... you're inspiring me. I threw out my console video game in the garbage and subscribed Udemy course. thank you again for saving me.

Thanks a lot for this video man. I quit video games for a while and was very productive. During my spring break I decided I wanted to revisit some old games for just a small chunk of my day. Slowly but surely that turned into the majority of my day. My day started revolving around these games again. In just a week I became addicted again. Now I'm gonna quit again cause I watched this video. Thanks!

A lot of people think is good for them to play video games as a form to escape reality. But for me, i much prefer to stay in my shit reality trying to make it better instead of trying to escape it.

Im 27 and currently facing a gaming burntout, anything l try to play i just feel bored, i wouldnt call it quitting and will end up playing again eventually, but im on day one of an attmepted 84 day game free stint, but 2 weeks sounds better. Well see.

Something I realized recently since quitting is I that I feel my thoughts again. I played video games so much that I would just numb out my thoughts. You have so many thoughts that run through your head every day and you choose which ones to focus on and listen to. It feels like I can focus on thoughts that involve productivity and fun outside of video games again!

Yes I can agree that video games can be a problem. I have played Warframe for well over 500 hours (about a month of my life) and that's just one game, not including any of the other games I have played a lot of. I enjoy playing but I get so bored of them and keep coming back out of boredom. Luckily I have things to help me not play them such as my guitar or school or perhaps that job I need to apply to and hopefully get. It is a struggle but I know it will be so rewarding if I play video games considerably less

For me Video games aren't Not A problem means you can play Games what ever you want , But You need to stop playing Seriously like competitive Games Which you want that on ranked match...It's become you Being Aggressively then Stressfully

I was loading RDR2 and as it was loading I was scrolling through RU-vid and just suddenly out of nowhere your video popped up in my recommended. I watched it and afterwards I immediately turned off my Xbox and started doing something productive. Thanks for the vid man!

I'm currently in the process of selling all my games and It's been a bit hard coming to terms with it but I know I have to do this. Personally I've been trying to better my walk with God and to also be more productive in want I want to do like coding and making music, and gaming has gotten in the way of it (RU-vid even more so). Thank you for making this video, it helps a ton! I wish you all the best, God Bless.

I respect what you mention about video games having a negative effect on our lives, but this is how we thrive as humans and it hurts to have the realization to accept the fact that you also have to look at the pros of having video games. if I had you have so much free time I would just rather grind on my PC and PS5 than deal with the world and try to do something for myself which is a benefit for me but it's a skill that I would need in the future. furthermore ill will learn not to play as much or have any screen time unless I'm researching or learning for goals for my career but its a hard process to accomplish

The push up strategy is amazing, I came up with the idea on my own but I see you and others do it also. It's quite effective because after those pushups you already change the chemical stuff going on your body and it's easier to go through the craving. This one also applies for quit smoking. The more angry and irritated you are, the more pushups you make.

thank you man. I needed this. Glad it popped up in my recommended!

I quit last month. Im more of an outdoorsy person so i installed my time instead with outdoor activities, like working out, going to the beach, riding my bike, chilling with family and friends. Hiking. Etc….

Great points the only thing id disagree with is the idea that you have to (or even can) find something that gets you going as much as video games do. Thats just not possible because as you said theyre meticulously designed to be more stimulating and compulsion forming than even gambling.

its not for money they're doing this. its much much more sinister

I'll that I've learned from this video and in this comment section is that people have like zero to little room for moderation skills.

thanks, No one strive a real life now a days we all chanied with artifical digital media but it is enough for me ı will change everyting

You should keep making content bro. You have potential and my respect :) good job bro.

I usually don't comment on videos, but I want to share my situation as well. I am 14 year old girl with dad who is playing video games. My dad have great career, mindset and he actually enjoy his life - that's why I wanted to be like him. Unfortunately I did it wrong, instead of becoming better I was waiting for entertainment. And I still do. Last week I was thinking - Where am I going? I couldn't find answer. This is why I ended up here, because I want to do something with my life. It's silly to say "I will change during the vacation" so I am going to start now. Playing squash/guitar, learning new stuff, understanding myself.. I hope I won't lose. Thanks for this video. People from comments don't lie. Awesome job man ❤

Can you imagine?, I am constantly busy, I only do productive things. At 10pm I start rock climbing. No down time sounds funny and also really unhealthy. I don't agree with this concept of quitting in the least. Get yer stuff in life done first , then have some fun. I don't get it. Any thing can be addictive and considered a waste of time. This could apply to seashell collecting, or bird watching.

it's related to dopamine levels. I recommend the channel of Andrew Huberman to understand the way our addictions and habits works.

Personally, I like gaming. I do feel at least a slight disappointment when all I did in a day was just game. I could’ve been making a good RU-vid video but chose to grind Minecraft. Overall, you got to moderate video games and avoid procrastination.

Now I am so tired after 4 hours playing Fifa mobile 😢😢

A bit issue im having atm is I spent a bit of money on a pc Gpu and now I'm feeling like I need to play it to get an roi. I need to shift out of that mindset. I feel like this would draw gamers back in a lot. I sold my ps5 to quit gaming but then had a moment of weakness🤦‍♂️

This was actually some good advice i can see working i appreciate it

Great video, I appreciate you sharing your personal experience and giving reasons to quit + realistic tips on limiting gaming. The most impactful thing (for me personally) that I took from this video is that it is okay to say no. I'm autistic and it has been extremely difficult for me to make friends offline so most of my friends are people I game with online, I have a hard time saying no to them but I've had to, a lot. I only game once or twice per week and limit myself to 2 hours max, that's almost nothing compared to how I used to be (I played nearly 5 hours every weekday, around 7-9 hours on the weekend). I've now made new friends offline, I have more money/time to pursue things that really matter to me, and I live a more stress-free life. To anyone reading this- you deserve to beat your gaming addiction and true friends will always support you when they see you trying to get better.

When I'm playing with my friends, online games it requires some concentration and button control, you know what I mean. After matchmaking, my soul has been drained, and I don't want to do some important tasks such as learning language or watch movies.

Great video, although you and I have entirely different views on personal growth from what I grasp. I spent a year away from gaming and I realized two things: I actually like to play on occasion, as much as I enjoy good movies or great books; there's way too much crap being released these days, and that is, indeed, poison (just as much as bad plays or poor music are poisonous to one's mind). So, yeah, I agree with you, although I do think some games are worth for their critical value and wealth of perspectives and creativity. After being away from games - it began with religious motivations - I realized that it wasn't gaming that took away from me. It was letting poor experiences, which aggregate nothing, take over most of my time. And that goes for repetitive work as well. Ever since I've been on the lookout for anything that introduces meaninful growth in my life - not just success or health, but spiritual and existential growth. I gotta tell you, there was a cut - to all poor interactions in my life. Not to people, however. No matter how odd a relationship can go, it always teaches you something. On the other side, more prayer and meditation time, more reading the books I love, more tending to the needs of my people... Solid advice, man. Keep it up!

It is possible to be a casual who balances it with other activity. But too many people spend too much time on Vidya games, you're right.

so, heres a shocker as to why older people still play games, they are comfortable with how there life is! some people are married, have a good job and when they get home and want to unwind, they game!. same thing with people who are single, maybe they choose to be that way because they dont want to get tied down with a crazy person! some of them are able to support themselves with their job, and go home and play games after work. the meaning of life is what you make of it, not what others think you should do.

Recently I've been getting bored of everything, even playing videogames which was like my hobby or something. I've been thinking of just stop playing but, as you said, I feel this urge to keep playing because I don't have anything more to do, or so I think. Through this year, I've noticed that this "addiction" I have is getting out of hand, affecting me in my personal life (in terms of studies, mental health, etc), and while I don't play as much, I still spent hours of my day just watching videos or social media in general. For a long time I have this idea of going to a gym but my head always makes up an excuse to not go. I don't know if anything that I wrote makes sense, my English is not that great, but my point is that your video really makes people understand the benefits that involve quitting videogames. In my case, I really should start looking at options of things to do instead of playing so this addiction stops. Wish you and everyone have a good day/afternoon/night.

Yep, I've writted it on another video, so I'm going to spare time. Happy to see other people notice these things, probably it means we are really getting mature, growing up. Here is the comment: Lefting games best decision of my life. Played them since when I 3-4 years old. Now it's been 20 years of gaming and it's been almost three months without gaming. The problem with me is that I always wanted to create ''another me'' inside that virtual universe where I was a winner, while in reality I was doing almost nothing. Now that I've left I could focus more on doing what I like to do and I don't have anymore that bad feeling that I need to continue my mission inside the virtual world. What's the difference? That in videogames every level up, unlocked objective/trophy, ecc...will disappear, because someone could turn off the electricity for ever, your save game would be lost or the game will be shut down, so everything you did and you have dedicated many hours of your life would disappear and you will feel so bad. Right now I'm back from a 1200km bike trip and feel so great, ready for another one. I don't fucking care about videogames anymore, I can focus on work out, running and bike, and I have much more time...And stay all day with that posture, on a monitor that cause me dark circles under the eyes and brain fog..definitly not worth it. These old jewel games are just good memories, replaced by trash games that wants your money and time and want you to be a nerd porn addict that live in a virtual world. As you said, isn't a hobby anymore, it's a work. Maybe you work all day, go home and do a second work, this isn't funny guys. Today games are toxic and made only to hook your brain, I remember the bad days in HOI4 or CK3 where I was so addicted and could play for hours and hours without stop. These games are made like these because they want you addicted. Need a definitive radical cut. Going to sell my two graphic cards, their value I think is almost 400-500 bucks, but isn't easy to sell them on the used market so I will sell them for less, and get some stuff for running or for bike. Thanks for reading and happy to see other people that start to understand how the modern game industry works and want to left or at least make a radical change like stop support certain industrial logics.

Yeah, you're right. People should always be doing stuff to improve themselves. Who needs a break to have some fun with something they enjoy? This is why I also believe people should never watch movies, television, RU-vid, listen to music, or even look at art! I mean, that's a waste of time, right? There's no point in chilling sometimes; you're just wasting your life.

im good little brother

I'm not disagreeing with the video or saying "you're dumb" for holding the opinion that everyone should quit playing games, but I would like to point out a concept that works wonders in all areas of life: moderation in all things. You could argue the same thing about regular games or sports as you're mentioning gaming--if you're spending 20 hours a week playing basketball and it is causing you to fall behind in other areas of life, it's time to cut back and MODERATE. I don't say this next part to try and make myself sound "better" than anyone, but to offer another perspective. I enjoy playing games, somewhere in the ballpark of 5-10 hours per week (mostly on Friday/Saturday night for 2-3 hours in a sitting). That said, I'm a couple months away from graduating college, have been working in my career field for the past 3 years, am married, and have plenty of other hobbies (mostly things like mountain biking, snowboarding, etc.). No one aspect of my life has dominated another and caused me to fall behind, gaming included. It all comes down to PRIORITIZING the right things and MODERATING how much of those lower priority things you do. Like they say, too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

Hey, that’s a great video thank you! But my situation is kind of different, I have been improving myself for almost 2 years now and I quitted almost all my bad habits except video games. I don’t play a single second for 2 months and I don’t really think about playing during that time, but somehow after around 2 months there is always a day when I come back home and I feel an incredible urge to play and every time I quit. Since I’m 14 it is very hard to stop because everyone around me is playing these games (even in class) and talking about them all the time. Can anybody give some advice on how to overcome this ?

When you stop playing, the desire to play comes back after a while, it's not that simple.

I don’t play as much as I use too but if I play I play and enjoy it 💯

Fantastic video brother. Thank you.

add time stamps, it helps rewatchability

I’d certainly disagree. You should be spending as much time as possible doing the things you enjoy as long as you’re not harming others. Money should never be your objective in anything in life. I’d agree that playing for multiple hours a day can be harmful, but at the same time we spend a lot of time crying over wasted time and procrastinating. It’s certainly a situational thing but ‘video game le bad’ isn’t really particularly substantiated. Your virtues and objectives in life shouldn’t be this manosphere dogshit “make money get FIT!!”. Things like playing video games aren’t mutually exclusive to being fit OR having money. People oftentimes recently grift the fitness paradigm so that they can make money leeching off of you. Aim to create a life in which you have the most amount of time to enjoy the things you enjoy. “If I got hit by a truck tomorrow, would I be able to say I’m proud of what I’ve achieved?”.

You do you man, glad it worked out for you. Personally I don't I'll ever stop playing as long as I enjoy playing games. I don't see time put into something I enjoy as wasted time. Just like anything else, a healthy balance is needed. And that can mean different things to different people, for me it's mostly stopping playing pvp online multiplayer games, especially on my own since I don't enjoy playing them anymore.

I was a huge PoE addict with 4k hours in the game. I realized my addiction was literally ruining my life slowly and I was finally able to quit after 1 year of trying and after quitting gaming completely, my life has improved massively. Definetly recommend quitting.

My boy on xbox got 1600 days played plus.. 38400hours........... wtf

This guy is right, I should spend my time better and it's certainly not watching this video.

I hope people that stumble upon this video realize it not directed at people with self control that know how to limit themselves for gaming but its for those absolute degenerates that play 4+ hours per day that could benefit from cutting back

I’ve stop playing games for like 140 days (I was busy with fitness, long bike trips, ecc..). Stop videogames is the key to stop with pornaddiction as well..if you balance it with something else. As I said mysef that was enough with videogames retention I relapsed again ALSO on porn, so that’s the point for me Videogames=Pornography As I cutted off again videogames, I barey think to porn, and I had two weeks right now were I couldn’t do much fitness or Bike since I had a arm surgery and my bike is in reparation so even cutting Porn/games I was able to handle boredom with reading, writing, walking, ecc…

play games that are art, like the last of us 1 y 2,gray,kentucky route zero,disco elysium,lost legacy,the outer wilds etc, dont play garbage, in the movies you can see movies of fellini and movies from barbie you choose your quality

Its a okay video but i think your points are kind of bs. I tried to disprove them. 1. Video games are bad for you: While some studies suggest that excessive gaming can have negative effects, it's essential to consider the balance and moderation. Video games can also have positive effects on cognitive skills and social interactions, especially in multiplayer games. 2.Decreased productivity: It is true that excessive gaming can lead to decreased productivity, but the same applies to any activity that consumes too much time. Proper time management and self-discipline can help maintain productivity while still enjoying gaming. 3. Companies want to keep players hooked: While companies aim to keep players engaged and spending more time on their platforms, it is ultimately the player's responsibility to manage their time wisely. Gaming companies provide entertainment, but players have the power to decide how they use their time. 4.Designed to keep you comfortable: Video games are designed to be enjoyable and engaging, but this does not mean they prevent personal growth. Many individuals find joy and relaxation in gaming without compromising their overall development. 5.Time spent on gaming vs. other activities: Understanding the time spent on gaming is crucial, but it's equally important to recognize that individuals have diverse interests. For some, gaming is an essential part of leisure time, and it doesn't mean they are neglecting other aspects of life. 6.Realizing the impact of excessive gaming: Recognizing the impact of gaming on one's life is essential, but it doesn't necessarily mean quitting games altogether. People can set healthy boundaries and create a balance between gaming and other activities. 7. Peer pressure to play video games: Peer pressure is not unique to gaming. People face it in various aspects of life, and it's essential to prioritize individual goals and interests. Surrounding oneself with supportive friends who understand personal choices can help maintain a balanced lifestyle. 8.Moderation is key: This video suggests quitting games altogether, but moderation is a more reasonable approach. Enjoying gaming in moderation can provide relaxation and entertainment without causing significant disruptions. In summary, video games can offer both positive and negative aspects, and individuals should find a balanced approach that suits their lifestyle and preferences. Moderation, time management, and self-awareness are key factors in maintaining a healthy relationship with video games and achieving personal growth.

Quitting Video games is easy to me. Quitting pron and Fixing diet is the hard one

Well made video. Better than some of the biggest creators on youtube. You earned a new sub.

where'd you go man?

the time I thought I need to stop playing games is when I realized that I am already 25 and have no jobs, no goals, no clue to live

I went from gaming around the clock everyday to now 1 hour a day during the week. And my weekends i tend to play a lot but im pushing towards cutting them out completely

I used to play destiny nonstop on most days until realizing that I was neglecting the upkeep in my backyard and letting it get out of control until gaming habits changed and spent ten days of getting the garden into shape during spring and summer on other days I go out visiting places for my social media accounts. And most recently cancelled both subscriptions for the Xbox games pass and PlayStation Plus by saving money then I was spending it on do I regret quitting gaming absolutely not. Most other reasons why I quit because being on medication due to being diagnosed with Myoclonus a form of epilepsy that caused by a malfunction of the brain that triggers violent shock and seizures in the body. Lastly it felt like the best decision I have made.

Something i have learned in my life is that you need to let people be who they are and that there is a time in your life for everything. Video games fit in perfectly with my life and reminds me of how my ancestors before me played passionately stickball and marbles. I just genuinely enjoy life and feel there is a lesson here: there is more in the being than in the doing. Take care.

if i have to better myself, im not good enough.. but i am good enough and i dont need to better myself

Godam, it's actually pretty crazy when you put it in another perspective of when you were a kid lets say like in middle school or something & the only reason why youve always been so addicted to video games is because you lacked social life, was probably going through depressed from bullies, bad grades, etc. And its almost similar to turning to drugs, ig that just goes to show how much of a simulation we live in

I am glad that Thia video poped out from nowhere and remembered me Something that i know i have tot changw, Thank You, ia amazeing how youre girat video got to me. Keep it going , from now in i will be watching this channel.(sorry for may bad english knowlage)

I see what your saying but as a gamer myself all I hear is unjustified excuses and hypocrisy reason why because I’ve hear this my whole life from people who don’t know anything about games or don’t play big dog you only get 1 life to live what’s wrong with fun man huh….. you can still stay focus with school work and self improving while gaming you act like video games is drugs or alcohol video games have saved people’s lives from depression and sadness I can relate to it if you feel that way that’s a you problem not a me problem im keeping it real the same people talking about videos watch tv and movies all day and probably is reading fiction books or comics all I hear is hypocrites from the same people all day a simple fix is balance your time don’t say quit and get rid of it how can you say something like that 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

You're playing the wrong game. Video game have genre too you know, same as movies and books. They're not all shooter, or mmorpg, or gacha, or cellphone game. Even I feel tired reading the same type of book, watching the same kind of movie or eating the same thing. The most important is the fun experience. Not playing like a chore. Games are a play of logics and commands. They even have story, world building and characters for an added elements of play of words and circumstances, same elements as in book or movie. It was fun watching my nephew figuring out what to do and how to use the controller in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I add fun beating the last boss of Tiny Barbarian DX figuring his pattern, your character placement and where your eye should focus on the screen for the incoming attack. Or beating Sonic & Knuckle for the first time after many attempt when I was just a kid, with zero life and zero ring left.

Like everything in the world: It's great in moderation, poisonous in extremes.

To clarify about his friend's time on Rust, its not 1 year its 2 years because the sleeping time was not included.
