  1. I think gamification can be used in schools because it boosts students attitude towards learning at the start. However, if used excessively, students may be addicted to their assigned work(by that I mean the playing part of it). Over time, gamification will give students a hard time and teachers a harder time like what happened at my school before quarantine. My experience has proved to me that gamification in education should be done in moderation because I have seen other students at my school rushing to the library at lunch just to play video games and taking all the chairs for themselves and giving me a hard time reading.
  2. I just finished my latest stop motion film. Although the background is not good(because I do not have a green screen and I am only using my ipad to film) I still made the special effects good with iMovie. So in conclusion, I made a good film for free using free apps and low budget filming equipment although I am thinking to upgrade my setup. In case you want to know what I made:
  3. I don't go on the forum everyday but only once in 3 or so days. I usually just post things in my daily journal about my accomplishments and then once in a while when I am stuck in life I go to ask the community. The good thing about this community is it's not like social media where the most popular guys show up in your home page so I don't think you can easily get addicted to this forum unless if it is the only thing in your life that satisfies you.
  4. For the past few days I have been trying to get away from any type of gaming and staying away from gamer friends. I started to play chess after watching the new show on Netflix and although I am bad at it, I will not become a mindless addict to it. Usually I just play computers on chess websites and I play the higher level ones with hints so I can get better at knowing how to use the pieces effectively. Another thing I have been doing is making lego stopmotion films. I made them with the legos I built and it worked out pretty good. I uploaded some to youtube but although I do not get any views, I still do it for fun so to replace gaming.
  5. I got too lazy the past few weeks and did not write on here but I wrote some things down on my physical journal that I keep everyday. This past thanksgiving break has given me the opportunity to develop a new hobby, running. I haven't ran since the end of June due to the blistering rays of the summer sun. After a long time of skin burning ultraviolet sunlight, the Earth changed to nice cool autumn where the clouds rolled in. It was kind of hard at first because I was breathing heavily after just a mile of running and sweating profusely. After the first run, my second run got somewhat better with me getting over my first mile and over into my second one with less sweating and lung cramping. The most recent run came with me finishing my 3rd mile which is a step toward building my cardiovascular system back up again.
  6. A few days ago I was talking with my gamer friends from school. I usually try to keep friends with friends I had and not exile them from my friendship just because I am not gaming as much as them. This however changed. One of my friends wanted to challenge me after I was talking about a creation I made in the game Minecraft some while ago. He told me they were too easy to build and made fun of me. I tried to be funny so we would not get into conflict but turns out my friend does not have humor and told me some very nasty words and blocked me from google hangouts. His friend, who is my friend is not a smart guy(no offense) and found out about it and felt empathy for my friend who got mad at me, and started telling me that he does not know me. I asked him by his name and he told me I am a stalker because I said his name. I was confused and felt like he was trolling me. Then the beast started to reveal himself. He threatened to report me to whatever authority he knew so I did not want to get into more trouble, and blocked him. Should I just leave him alone or not because he might be a troll or he might not?
  7. I have actually been on here for 3 months or so but never introduced myself before. I am struggling with my detox right now and have been relapsing so much that now I lost track of how many times I relapsed. Overall, I found this community very helpful to me and I am working towards that goal to finish my 90 day detox.
  8. Back on track. I just came back from a relapse and want to enjoy life again. I started drawing my comic and reading books. Also, I tried to exercise more and stop slacking off on my push ups. Did some burpees today and walked around my neighborhood.
  9. This time I relapsed again and got bad at time management. I feel like it's not working and want to give up. I don't know if I am just not going to finish my detox or if that I really can do it.
  10. Day 20! I am so close to my last record of 20 something days after I relapsed hard and went back to gaming for a few months. About my Halloween costume. I made a snake scepter from scratch using a plastic pipe and some paper. I also found an electromagnetism kit with light bulbs and wires. I used my knowledge and skill and made a snake scepter which has a lever that activates two lightbulbs which are the snake's eyes so the eyes would gloooooooooow. I got some old wizard robe costumes from earlier and combined the two to become the master magician. It was fun creating it and I am finally finding something to encourage me to continue my path to become game free again.
  11. Day 19 of my detox I think. Today is Halloween so my mom made a duck for dinner and my whole family had a Halloween feast. Also, I made myself my own Halloween costume from scratch which was pretty fun and exciting. One bad thing that happened was I relapsed thinking it was Halloween and giving myself a break which resulted in my relapse.
  12. Day 15 of my detox. I started drawing a comic and finished one page of it. The weather got cold because the winter is approaching so I stayed inside most of the time.
  13. 14 days might not sound like a lot but I relapsed so many times before and collapsed around this time. I hope I can make it to 30 days.
  14. Day 14 of quitting games. I got lazy and procrastinated a lot the past few days and I'm finally back to writing. Some things that I found are distracting me are gaming streamers and gamer friends. I am trying to avoid those kind of temptations and try doing something else other than gaming. I think I watch too much TV so I went outside these days to play with bugs which is entertaining.
  15. Day 6 of quitting games. I didn't want to use my computer so I did not write after using so much of my energy on doing work on a computer. I struggled with watching youtube and just mainly television. I also built Lego castles and my creations and started working on a Lego stop motion film. This is me starting my detox again after many relapses. To conclude, I think my friends are my biggest temptation because they like gaming more than me and they tell me to play with them all the time.
  16. I've never played among us so I am not addicted.
  17. This is my second time writing but I wanted to begin in a new article. Today went by with me resisting my urges and telling my gamer friends that I can't play with them. While I was browsing the internet, I clicked on a website and it appeared all in Russian and my anti virus blocked a malware attack. I got scared because I don't want Ivan to hack into my computer. So today was my 2nd day of quitting games after so many relapses and I look forward to completing my 90 days.
  18. Today went by with me deleting my games and playing a little bit of Minecraft. I am trying to limit gaming and when it's time, end it. My friends keep making me want to game because they are lazy and have an addiction just like me so I just ignored them and told them I don't have time. I am starting my detox again after so many relapses and hope to make it to 90 days!
  19. No, I don't think so. Reeses Peanut Butter cups are full of sugar which makes you fat and increases risk of diabetes. Also too much sugar is bad for your teeth.
  20. Yeah my friends are more addicted than I am when I zoomed them and I found out that they were playing games when they get the opportunity.
  21. One of my friends just got mad at me for not playing with him and threatens me to play or else he will do something to my account. I agree with you on your opinion about bad friends.
  22. I suck at time management. I think this is related to gaming addiction because I cannot control my time and get addicted. Also, every time I try time management I do good for a week and collapse and go back to my own ways after. What should I do in this type of situation?
  23. I think my friends are my main trigger. I don't want to lose my friends but also want to do my detox. I don't know if I should just unfriend them or do something else.
  24. I have relapsed more than 5 times and haven't even completed my 90 days. What should I do?
  25. Since I quit video games I am having trouble controlling myself against youtube and other online video game streamers. I need help because watching people play games has overridden my addiction for video games and created a new addiction.
