Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostOn the beginning of the third page you mistake symptom for problem. You think that because people use video games for dopamine releases the video games are the problem when in reality they probably don't have anything else going for them in their life and video games (or binge watching netflix, or food, or porn, or a thousand other things) are an easy out.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostVideo games, like drugs, can be addictive in ways that rock'n'roll and DnD typically aren't. I know this from experience. I generally don't play video games any more because they're a giant time suck. "Woah, how can it be 2 AM?!? I've been playing since I got up this morning!"
Let's put it this way: nobody ever had to "detox" after they stopped playing video games. It's not an addiction.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
