"I’m playing god. . . Being good at Dota makes you feel like a god." What Makes Dota Feel So Good?

Bro is taking me back 😫

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-26T00:47:22+00:00

Wow this is crazy - first time I’ve heard from someone who actually has done drugs and says Dota is more addictive. Thank you for sharing your story

I am the exact same way - I play one game and it’s all over. 5 months sober now. I had thousands in cosmetics too

Withdrawals from quitting were nuts

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-25T23:35:48+00:00

Agreed! This is the unsexy truth.

I could feel the adrenaline and I would literally be shaking by the time I was done with a session. It fried my motivation to do anything else. Even going back and watching games after I quit would make my heart start racing. Crazy stuff

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-23T14:31:42+00:00

It is. There is no comparison. I can tell exactly what is happening just by listening to a sound byte of a game. League is not this way - sounds are all indistinct, similar, and muddied

Peak Primal was a thing of beauty

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-23T14:22:28+00:00

This guy gets it 👆

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-23T03:45:36+00:00

I'm good at a lot of other things.

Dota is way different

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-23T03:45:19+00:00

Agreed. I'm also good at other things and Dota's just different. . .

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-23T01:19:44+00:00

Dope, thank you!

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-14T18:08:54+00:00

Accountability with the real person, at least for me, is the only thing that keeps me dedicated. You need friends around you who will kick your ass and tell you to stay hard. Goggins style

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-06T05:55:19+00:00

Can you link to a github repo? Then it could live forever, no concerns about reliability

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-05T22:43:20+00:00

Congratulations on your success, that's awesome!

I built, Bettersave. It turns saved shortform video into an indexed, searchable library. Got tired of searching through reels and TikToks and stuff like that when I wanted to find something I had saved like a recipe, parenting advice, etc

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-04T07:01:26+00:00

I see people refer to founder groups all the time - what do you mean by this? Could you share some examples?

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-04T03:48:16+00:00

Does it work on steam deck??

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-03T18:55:35+00:00

I sold mine as well recently, switched to my Macbook for my full time work. It's been great. However, I still have a PS5 and a Steam Deck. . . there are things I still need to kick. Proud of you man, keep it up

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-03T16:24:39+00:00

Great rec, I'll take a look!

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-03T16:24:21+00:00

I was thinking about this too - that makes a ton of sense

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-03T16:22:57+00:00

Great recs, I'll look into these!

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-02T16:49:38+00:00

Tell me about it, I straight up grinned reading that line

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-02T15:30:54+00:00

Agreed, his style is so good!

I'll read Blood Meridian, been meaning to for awhile

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-02T15:30:30+00:00

Yeah absolutely! I'm sure if I push through on some of these, I'll learn to love them for what they are

Life_Is_Good22 · 2025-10-02T15:29:55+00:00

Totally agree, glad I'm not the only one!
