Message: [QUOTE="IyoTheHelpfulWolf, post: 63332, member: 73981"] Some things to try -Just do something else. I know it can feel weird, like you're turning your back on a hobby that you've invested so much in, but it'll still be there when you're ready to play again. (Especially if it's a Nintendo or a Dell Optiplex. Those will probably outlive you.) If you like to tinker a lot, take up coding or something. -Integrate another hobby into gaming, like article writing or YouTube, then playing video games feels more productive. -Give your dopamine receptors a break. We have access to an infinite amount of effortlessly consumable audio-visual content in our pockets all the time. Our brains get used to easy dopamine, making the delayed gratification of some games difficult. Train yourself to do things you have trouble maintaining the attention span for. Usually watch YouTube? Watch a 50-something episode anime in chunks. Used to doomscrolling? Read a book or even just a long manga. Maybe just meditate in silence for a while or go for a walk. [/QUOTE]
