June 13, 20232 yr After wasting multiple years of my life on WoW, LoL and doobies I forced myself to the thinking room 3 years ago. The outcome of this thinking was a game-ified goal-oriented approach to life: I identified seven major objectives I want to hit, and linked each one of them to a deadly sin. When I hit the goal, I get a tattoo of that sin on my skin. In the past three years I: Got a master degree in CS (Sin of Sloth - used to be a lazy student) Quit smoking (Sin of Envy - I only started to feel like one of the "cool kids") Found a Job and achieved financial indipendence (Sin of Greed) I'm ngl, videogame addiction isn't as tied to a specific deadly sin as most of the other objectives, but here it is: the obsession to reach the highest possible rank in videogames is costing me a ridiculous amount of hours and giving me close to nothing. I find myself angrily punching my table/sofa more often than not. This season me and my pal hit diamond in LoL's TFT. We had a really happy moment, and then got back to the grind again the next morning to push for master. I often have videogame-related dreams. I think of myself as a peaceful and sometimes quiet person irl; I have been very toxic and disrespectful in videogame chats. This isn't healthy and I feel so hooked that it took me a while to admit that I mostly get anger and frustration out of these games. For this reason i feel like the sin of Wrath is a good match. Today, I commit to never playing Ranked video-games again. That's my rant. Peace y'all
