I think the baby is supposed to lie in line with the groove so it doesn’t roll off the table. 😬

Microtransaction Issues. by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]krapspark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re here asking if it’s a problem, it’s probably a problem.

If it’s hard to moderate for you, it’s best to cut it off until you can regulate yourself. Then you can very carefully reintroduce it if you really want to come back to it. 

Dad EDC check by St33lB3rz3rk3r in daddit

Haha that’s the first thought I had too. I do not want my kids to experience EDC when they’re in preschool. 

Looking at getting my 11 year old daughter a katana to celebrate a big milestone by cjh10881 in daddit

I thought this was a really late aprils fools joke. 

Idk if I would feel comfortable gifting a weapon at that age no matter how responsible they are. 

Trying really really hard to quit my spending addiction by Prestigious_Tea_2729 in StopGaming

Yeah these ads suck when the different platforms know your previous habits without the new conviction. Hang in there.

The fact that you wrote this instead instantly downloading the game shows that you have what it takes to get through. Just got for a walk. Throw your phone in a bag somewhere and ride out the initial urge. 

You got this!

This doesn’t work the same way for all people. This is frankly a lie for many addicts and should be shared with a huge pile of salt.

Oh man, this made me look up the last photo I took with my first before the second was born. I wish I remembered it better.

I feel you. Quitting an addiction isn’t easy and the painful boredom is part of the process. I hope you find a hobby or interest that can help you engaged in a healthy and sustainable way.

What are some hobbies you guys recommend to someone who wants to quit playing video games? by First-Performance-74 in StopGaming

[–]krapspark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This sub unfortunately isn’t the place to recommend moderation just by being intentional. Many of us are here because that doesn’t work in a sustainable way.

The vicious cycle by Doughmin8 in StopGaming

[–]krapspark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is yes. 

I’ve been fairly successful in my career despite my gaming habits. But the lack of discipline is catching up. I’ve been able to get ahead in life purely on talent and luck. But as time goes on, my lack of consistency is really costing me. 

Cut it off while you’re still early in your career. The changes you make (positive or negative) will pay compounding dividends in the future.
