  1. I'm glad you like them. I definitely hope people like my smut too, for I hope to make a living out of it ... or at least a sort of a substantial income. Thing is, the real money is in novellas and especially novels that include both romance and sex. So it's gonna take a while; I just hope not too long.
  2. Hi, You're saying you're depressed. Would you care to explain that further; how does your depression affect you? It's a bad idea to consider it as a part of your identity. It may be so right now, but it's not how you deal and live with it. It's important to understand that your illness (if in fact you have one) exists separately of you, and you can affect it in a number of ways. That's the only way you'll make it. I love your topic's title by the way. Draws attention too. Oh yeah, the no showering part is a killer. I like to imagine how much I've saved on electricity by not showering. I completely agree with your views on faith, especially about religion being an option. I used to be one of those edgy atheists that think just because The Bible isn't literally true, the concept of faith itself is something for misguided morons and simpletons. As I'm rapidly nearing 30, I've been finding such conclusions to be childish at best. But I will say that faith is something each person needs to realize for themselves; it cannot be explained in a direct manner. Or at least I don't know how to. As far as relapses go: don't worry about it. Relapsing is a part of the process. What matters is that you quit again as fast as possible and don't flagellate yourself endlessly for it. Anyone who claims he's quit gaming in his first try is lying and probably playing 16 hours a day while posting here. Don't ever do that, people here won't judge you for relapsing. Of course, if you keep doing it, they may stop taking you seriously, ha. I don't think Cam has deallt with a topic of depression in his videos -- at least no directly. Never mind, I sux. Here it is: How To Get Out Of A Funk Here's another video you can check out: APATHY: How to Give a $hit (When You Don't Give a Fu#%) What you're doing is great and amazing. The VASTVASTVAST majority of people will never get unhooked and will continue to live miserable/somewhat bearable lives. Not us.
  3. Oh yeah, we should start bullying people into doing it more. It just looks sad when your FB post has two likes while everyone's posting on this forum every day. If I were a random person checking out Gamequitters on FB (or Twitter), my impression would be it's either a new site, or that no one cares about this guy who thinks gaming is bad LOLOLO. What else is supposed to be bad? PORN? LOL XD. i play games coz i like it lol dont tell me wat too do haha.gaming is cool and u cant get addicted to it its not heroin,i can stp when i want. fkn hippie lol u think u smart Well, anyway ... After reading your FB link about distractions, I've installed a program that blocks certain websites for a set duration. I'm sure the thing can be somehow disabled, but I doubt it can be done in a second, which is all that takes to start messing around without it. As the brilliant delicioustacos put it: Been working on writing short smut, and while that may sound exciting, it really is far more of a job than one might imagine. So, I do my best to write first thing in the morning, and lately that often turned into shitposting on social media ... instead of writing short "erotica" women of my mother's age read. Good thing my actual mother isn't very good at English and doesn't own an e-reader. I have to admit that some of this smut is still fairly well written, and it makes me feel uneasy at times -- since I still have long way to go before I get to that level. Not being a native speaker sux. If only I'd be Japanese or something. Like with my Slavic language, there's no real reason to learn Japanese too (they all want you to speak English anyway), but at least it makes you look cool to weeaboo emo girls. As a Slav, I'm on a constant mission not to sound like Borat instead. (Unsurprisingly, finding a picture of a weeaboo emo girl was easy.)
  4. Hey, I'm still alive and well. Just haven't felt much like keeping a diary here, but I'll start posting a bit more now. By the way, you people should really support Cam on the social media. Gamequitters has a YouTube, Facebook, and a Twitter account, and more often than not they don't get a lot of likes/shares/etc. Meanwhile, these forums are getting filled with posts every day -- perhaps show some of that cool secret treehouse club stuff to the world. It's true that it only takes a couple of clicks to reach the forums, but in the lands of internet, a few clicks is an epic and difficult journey only a few complete. You need to mash your stuff to people's faces while not making them feel like you're mashing stuff to their faces*. So, go and spam those likes, favorites, and shares. It's important for this place to grow further. Perhaps we can get some more (emo?) girls in here? *This is probably also the reason Cam isn't telling you to engage his social media in his every post. But he thinks it every time. KEEP THAT IN MIND EDIT: Woo, edit function is here!
  5. Cam, may I ask what happened to some of my longer posts on page 1? They seem to be cut off: large parts are missing.
  6. I'm still alive. I'm not sure how nearly an entire month flew by, but time flies when you're having fun ... leveling a priest on a brand new WotLK private server to level 45, and then deleting it when the cognitive, emotional, and perhaps even some kind of spiritual dissonance becomes to much. It seems to be easy to start drifting towards spirituality when you start to fully understand how addicted you are. I saw a lot of this in addicts in the past; usually, it was Christianity. I've spent most of the night negotiating with myself whether am I going to drink for the next few days or not. At the end, around 3 PM, I've taken medication that negates the effect of alcohol for about 24 hours and lessens the cravings. I'm not a fan of meds, but these specific pills are gods... let's just say I'm grateful for them. I'm so fucked. On the other hand, I'm writing and studying again. I just spend an hour learning how to use Gimp (image editing program similar to Photoshop). Do I get a trophy? Right now, I can't imagine how I'd start playing WoW yet again. There is nowhere to play. I've deleted my last two characters, burned all the bridges with people I've played with ... there is nothing left. It's almost a shame because I met a very interesting guy on that last server. It was one of those encounters when you tell each other everything right away, and I need to admit I've missed that so badly. But, that only means, and I know that, I know, that I need to get out more. I can't be friends with someone who's not only deeply addicted to the game, but also extremely good at it. It wouldn't work. Anyway, I'm out of private servers worth playing on. And I'm not going back to retail for a number of reasons I can't be bother to get into here. So, we're good. For now. Oddly enough, Life is Strange, a popular adventure game, still sits on my hard drive, and I'm still yet to play the thing. I prefer just to watch the gameplay vids on YouTube even though I'll probably pick it up at some point. The story is very well crafted and the characters really enjoyable. Adverb is not your friend, says Stephen King. Get the fuck out of your apartment and stop making imaginary characters a part of your emotional life -- I'm sure he'd agree with that as well.
  7. Ha, I think I'll stick with the other kind of cute girls for now. Having a larger window to parent a healthy child is a part of actual male privilege. I personally can't say I mind. I've been doing some more writing, but it's all highly political, and I don't want to make this journal about such topics.
  8. I'm not going to lie: I spent the entire Saturday laying in bed, reading a few articles, and obsessing over a video of a Korean girl group. It was amazing; I don't feel guilty at all. I mean
  9. ?Thank you so much for the grammar compliment. It means more than it probably should. Quality video. I make it a point to leave the apartment every day for a walk (30-40 minutes). I'm not so sure about that Tony Robbins thing though -- for one, I get annoyed when someone is trying to motivate me using happy music. And my inner hikikomori doesn't approve of joining a mass of strangers, especially not under such bright lightning. @ChrisSatcher: Thank you for your post; I haven't really expected people will actually comment on this, so I can only say I'm glad. The "ideal life" I describe in the original post is what I'd like on an emotional level. I don't actually want such a terrible life for myself -- we both know where it leads. Like Leo Gura says in his most recent video: the secret to amazing life is always doing what's emotionally uncomfortable. I normally try to shy away from motivational slogans, but this one is fine. It includes "uncomfortable". The nasty truth. I like how detailed your description of a potential alcoholic scenario is. Anything to add? Helping people is something you end up with in one way or another if you're leading a life worth its name. You should definitely keep looking into that. Personally, I know exactly what I want to do (and I know how I'll make the money to support it) ... the only problem is: it's not a very rewarding career. I'll make sure to expand on that later. Regarding becoming a pro gamer -- thing is, I'm not that great at games. I may be good compared to the average player, but you can generally think of me as a 2.2K rated guy. I tried really hard to improve further, but my reflexes and situational awareness simply aren't that great. It really is an advantage now; I'd never be able to quit if I were a multiglad. Calling me a "friend"? Ow, at least buy me a dinner first ... I kid, I kid! You don't need to buy me dinner; I'm easy like that. And about the gulten free thing: I was actually being half serious with that tag -- low carb hight fat diet helps my mental state immensely, and I plan on getting back to it soon. Yet another topic to cover (a massive one). @Zane: Finding a proper picture of an emo girl takes me nearly as long as writing a post. First, most of them aren't all that good looking (I can see directly through hair, make up, and accessories by having dated a number of goth girls), and second, well, I prefer those who at least look like they're 18+. Don't want Chris Hansen at my door. Not to mention that, and I don't know if you follow the manosphere at all, but they've been very vocal about how girls with tattoos, colored hair, and piercings are bad news. From personal experience, I can assure you that's more often true than not. Alas. Again, thank you all for replying to this thread; I appreciate it so much. The majority of people think being addicted to video games is something "funny" at best, and a display of somehow being inherently terrible at worstOH, SHIT, A SUBJECT FOR YET ANOTHER THREAD -- THIS NEVER ENDS; DOES IT? I'm so glad I've finally come here, I've had this site bookmarked for a year. PS: GIVE PREVIEW BUTTON OR RITO
  10. ?I'm glad we're both excited. All the cool kids drop out of high school, anyway. It's a particularly unpleasant combination of a prison and a nuthouse.
  11. Today is a difficult day. It almost borders on tragedy even though I don't want to look at it that way. But it's simply annoying. I don't intend to delve too deep into what exactly I did inside WoW. It doesn't matter; ultimately, I played it to escape my real life problems. It wasn't important whether I was trolling the world, making friends I then thought were genuine (
  12. People who's primary goal is attention/profit = people whose primary goal is attention/profit. It seems you can only edit each post a set number of times.
  13. By the way, my retail WoW account has been frozen for more than a year, and I spent the last three years mostly playing on various private servers (a very exciting topic). All characters of considerable value I deleted or are included in my retail account which I won't pay for again. I couldn't even afford to at this point.
  14. My name is Marchosias, and I'm a 29 year old man with a nickname. I've been playing WoW for more than 8 years now, and it's the only game I've ever been obsessed with. I also enjoy adventure games and visual novels (if you consider those being games), but I'm not addicted to them. Third and fourth chapter of Life is Strange are still sitting on my HD waiting to be played, and I mostly likely won't touch them 'till the fifth one is released. And even then I may just YouTube videos of it. But World of Warcraft; that's quite a different story ... Honestly, I have no idea how many times I've deleted the game client in those eight years. I remember the first time I've became aware the game has a negative impact in my life was before the release of WotLK expansion (I think 2008). Back then, I told myself I'll just play the expansion to enjoy the leveling process and see the new continent, and then quit the game for good. Seven years later --- here we are. I think I must have deleted the damned thing about hundred (100) times, and that's no exaggeration. In fact, the best way to describe WoW for me would be: "It's a satanic drug thing; you wouldn't understand." When I'm playing, the vast majority of my mind is focused on the game. I play as much as I possibly can and even when I'm not playing; I'm thinking about it. Dreaming about WoW is somewhere in there too. It's just pure misery at this point. I'm also addicted to booze -- I'm done with that, but the addiction of course still lurks somewhere at the back. I also have a certain amount of issues with anxiety and depression; something that becomes more pronounced every time I try to quit WoW (quitting drinking didn't help either). I've read too many great books regarding self help, and I don't think I can learn anything new at this point. I'm well aware of my problems and I know exactly how to solve them. All that remains now is to keep stabbing at it. Perhaps writing a sort of a blog on this forum will help. There's a lot more to say, but let this be enough for now. I'd like to promise I'll post here every day, but I'd rather not. I like the color scheme of this site. Oh, yeah, I've deleted the WoW client again today. /golfclap
