We just took our first step and cancelled Netflix! It's a small thing compared to some of you, but we're here to stay! Becoming more and more aware and striving to buy European!

cancelling wow left me a much, much happier person, if that helps

… of course i do get dreams sometimes of my character weeping in a black void and saying “i’m so lonely please come and play with me”… yknow, just normal non-psychologically abusive things that they definitely didn’t mean to do to keep you addicted and coming back again and again

I should consider it, even if I'm still leveling on Classic so the daily boredom isn't there yet. I already have this boredom with my gacha games haha.

it’s incredibly addictive, and acknowledging that is okay… it’s also fun for a bit! just know when you’re doing it less because you’re having fun and more because you’re in a routine (and sometimes those things are very hard to distinguish)

and if you decide to quit, treat it like smoking or alcohol abuse: you never stop quitting… i “stopped playing” 5 times before it stuck. that’s not a failure - it’s a step on the journey to being completely over it, and 1 day you’ll stop and never go back

granted, i’m pretty sure i was way more addicted than a lot of people and perhaps you don’t need this advice… but fuuuuuuuck video game addiction is absolutely a thing, and it can cause life-long mental health issues. it gets soft-balled so often, but there’s not much difference between it and slot machines at the end of the day except that wow isn’t regulated
