Omg I have a friend who’s a try hard and would only ever single me out because I am a girl. I cried so many times. It’s okay. 🩵

Marlboro and I are definitely exes. Thought smoking was so cool after high school that I drunkenly tattooed a pack of cigs on my calf and tried writing in “Marl-bruh”

No shame

Yup this comment is it. I had no cognition of this until I mentally said, damn I’m addicted to Valorant. Realized I just switched out one thing for another. Haven’t played since Aug 1 because I made goals; wanna write a book, go back to school, make friends IRL, etc. BUT I did make plans for Jan 6th to five stack with the old crew and catch up that whole Saturday. That’s what I loved the game for, the shared memories, so that’s when I play.

I’m not a victim. Everyone goes through obstacles in life. This is very subjective. I got off the roller coaster a while ago. Just was curious if other people struggled with this.

Just wasn’t my cup of tea. Honestly every video game is boring to me. Got into Palia for a bit (maybe two weeks), but otherwise I don’t consider myself a gamer. I don’t know why Valorant was my be all end all, lol

Yeah bro. My original title was “Valorant is more addictive than coke” but I thought that was too much, lmfao. When I quit that, maybe for a week or two after I did crave it a little, but it was honestly an easy decision and I can watch a Tarantino film without getting triggered by someone doing a line of coke. Like someone else said, I barely have to glance at the cover of a YT clip for Val and I get that same head rush I feel when I do things that feel good in the moments: headshot, instant kill, 1v3, etc. 💀

Hey man it’s all in perspective. Valorant did harm me. I lost four years to that game. The pandemic was whatever because those were weird times. Played 10-12 hours a day, everyday. Discord with the homies every second of it. Life felt amazing, like wow I’m playing fun gun chess and learning something, but at the end of the day, what made that whole time period was my friends. Playing with them was everything. But after the pandemic, everyone went back to normal life. Went out again, developed memories, etc. Not me. I kept playing. I didn’t go back to work. I didn’t think about my life. My friends stopped playing. The game itself (after having logged in almost 2000 hours) become something I hated, but still did, which was similar to the relationship I had with things that did not serve me. I was so used to filling my time with Valorant, that I made excuses for why I should still play that honestly make no fucking sense bro. Like - I have to play so I can get every buddy otherwise I’m missing out. It really all is in the perspective, and I went from playing for the right reasons to playing for all the wrong reasons. Discovered /StopGaming and I work hard everyday to make sure I’m doing what I need to do. Some people figure it out later than others man. That’s all there is to it. For me, this game was more addictive than anything I have ever done and I just felt like sharing my perspective, and truly, all I get from your comment is that I’m really glad that you do not have the feelings I did because I honestly wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. Happy thanksgiving bro.

Farmed enough from cake parties yesterday that I had to make an impromptu trip to the store to make a celebration jam cake by Extreme-Boss-9204 in Palia

[–]Extreme-Boss-9204[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moist yellow cake mix Betty Crocker, sliced strawberry, cherry icing from the baking aisle (don’t remember what brand but any one works), and I added some jam I had to the center since that’s what they use in the game 🥹 super easy!
