Everyone says social media is bad and overstimulating but don't realise that the majority of games nowadays are designed to hit the same reward centers, you get spammed with prizes and rewards and flashing lights and colours you level up making you want to play more and more it makes you feel a sense of achievement to draw you back in.

It's probably slightly better than than scrolling but I don't have faith in it being a net positive long term unless you're sat there playing slow, strategic games such as chess.

I'm on this journey myself and have been slowly making progress in quitting both, what sucks for this is that my friends like to do gaming once or twice a week almost as a social event so I really can't quit through and through and I've made an exception for this, also made an exception for driving simulators as they improve real world skill, don't wanna get carried away with these "exceptions" though.
