    I don't know why, but when I'm abstaining from video gaming I find my urges to fap are much, much weaker, and even when I do masturbate eventually I am more able to resist the temptation, and ending up using no stimulation at all.
    When I'm back into video games, the urges are getting stronger and I'm doing it more often, I always wondered why.
    On another note, when abstaining from video games, my life always feels so boring, time passes slowly, and I'm having a hard time managing stress, and even trouble falling asleep.

    Same thing happen to me.
    Both videogames and porn give you an unnatural amount of dopamine, this is the reason for me playing videogames is like edging on porn. After I’ve finished with games I frel like I need to watch porn. This is the reason why I’m almost at day 100 of nogaming. Uninstalled every game or steam or whatever, put games on a box in basement and I’m going to gift the graphic card. And I don’t use computer anymore, just the laptop and It does not seem to run videogames.

    When you quit addictive videogames you need to replace it with something else. I honestly use to read books, history books, philosophy books, novels. And I have a gravel race bike and it’s my favorite hobby but I hate Winter so I do it much lesser than before because it’s fucking cool. You need to find something else that give you something. Videogames give you nothing, your save will be lost, no one care about your platinum trophies, all the npc you helped does not care, while everyone outside reach results, do exercices you are in your dark room, playing videogames and complete quests. Try to be a hero in real life instead. Videogames are a great scam, I surely say it, I’ve played since I was 5 and now after 20 years I got bored and seen they were an obstacle to my life, just like porn. 2023 I played much less but it is since 2020 that I’ve noticed that games weren’t funny anymore and the new ones are boring and just wants to suck your money and vampirize your time.
