I can’t begin to count how many houses I’ve broken into to feed my gaming habit.

I know right, gaming can EASILY cost you $5,000 a month. (sarcasm).

I mean that is a standard part of any rpg game, getting into houses to explore every single area for stuff to steal is pretty fun and totally realistic.
Ah i see, yeah I assumed that was leading to the usual topics of muh blood family and str8 kids type.
I would say depression is a very natural reaction to the disaster of world we live in, some people like to pretend it is just some magical mental illiness but when someone might live paycheck to paycheck, not know what will the future hold, have no savings etc, depression is an absolutely justified response.
You cant fix depression without fixing the surroundings, I dont believe it is often a personal issue, it is a societal one. Giving people drugs to go through their miserable lives that this world has enforced on them isnt the solution, changing the world is.

It had it’s perks, I mean the house was never cleaner. Everyone had their own little thing that made us work well as a unit to keep the household nice. But yeah for the most part it just sucked. It was hard to make sure someone didn’t feel left out and I don’t mean that sexually. I mean in general if any time was spent alone between two of the three. It just felt bad being that third person. Not to mention the feelings of insecurity. Never really being sure if they will just choose to run off together. Although most of these feelings is because I was the one that compromised. I just know the entire time I felt like complete dogcrap. Either because one time or another I felt left out and lonely, or because I was feeling guilty about feeling those things or from feeling jealousy. Honestly the entire throuple thing was more work then my Marriage. Honestly have a deep respect for people that can handle it because their emotional maturity level has to be off the charts if they don’t have an emotional break down now and again.

Agreed. I’m finding more and more, life problems like this can so easily lead the overall issue with our neoliberal economics…
I replaced my addiction to cigarettes with WoW, it’s good for my physical health but now I’m hiding in my room all day and became completely anti-social.

Is it really anti-social if you keep socializing? Why do you have to be face to face to be social?

Now a days, socializing with people online is strongly encouraged by the govt. and society at large.
humans are social by nature, losing touch and sight of others might have unreversible effects like unable to have conversations with other people most of the time… you can’t just hide into your house/room for years and later go out and have a normal conversation with people after being all by yourself in the dark playing games…
You can’t? I do it all the time on my bi-monthly shopping trips. Although I have stopped those recently due to covid.
(Thank you Amazon, and Walmart)
I feel like an addiction like this is more an umbrella term for a certain category of addictions.
It’s a lot of smaller addictions fusing together into one big one

oh yeah? tell me what are you going to talk about…
how many mounts did your non gaming friend got in wow? it’s just awkward if you have friends that don’t play this or any game in general…
Oh I don’t know, maybe the very thing keeping you guys locked up which can lead into conversation of what you did to keep yourself occupied? It’s not that hard. People are still connected to current events and you can use that type of conversation to get into deeper conversations.
yeah I’m sure being locked up by yourself some years without talking and seeing another person then suddenly the moment you step outside nothing happened in those two years… but I’m not sure why I’m even bothering answering at this rate considering that you said that “gaming addiction” isnt even a thing…
