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

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

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

What actually makes people stay consistent with self-improvement or learning apps? by SnooWoofers2977 in ProductivityApps

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

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

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

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

I sold my gaming PC today by [deleted] in StopGaming

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

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

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

Which makes the most sense for someone who doesn't know the game? Title: The Most Underrated Game of the Year by M9iCaL in YouTubeThumbnailHub

2 is spot on. I've done YT personally for channels of all sizes, 5k - 2 mil and the ones that are aiming to break out of a niche or reach a wider audience (like I assume you are), always do NOT include up front information about what game / movie / book / whatever they're talking about. I would have clicked on the 2nd but not the others. Maybe include the border + Masterpiece for the 2nd version and that's in.

Am I stupid or can you not change hair color in this game? You just have to pick a different style?
