How to Waste Your Life | A Short Film on Video-Game Addiction

Ойындар

There are many things I'd love to do with my life. Music, programming, and art are the big three creative outlets I'd love to pursue. But I'm 22 years old and I still suck at all of them. Why? I think I know why, and I aim to answer it in this video.
I know at some point there's gonna be somebody saying something along the lines of "how dare you tell me how live my life, get off your high horse and stop telling me to stop wasting my life". Most likely they won't put it as eloquently as that but I should say: this is mostly an analysis of my own life. If it inspires you to do something more with your life that's great! But otherwise if you feel insulted by what I said, I recommend not worrying about what some random guy on the internet thinks.

    Same. Why be a filthy casual who spends time playing CSGO, or LoL or PUBG. Never was into that. The only online games that I truly ever enjoyed were WoW and Warframe. Why? Because those have story. You have a story line you follow. But then I realised that even MMORPG's are ruined by the MMO concept, and completely switched to offline solo play. I'd rather play solo player games like the Mass Effect series, Fallout, TES series, Witcher, any rpg really, or the games like Castlevania or The Legend of Zelda, you know, adventurous games, that tell you a stroy, that give the opportunity to live through an adventure, save a universe or two, interact with the characters, experience beautiful landscapes...

    the only games i consider time well spent are story driven ones with unique and interesting setting and mechanics, like half life or bioshock. everything else is a waste of time, especially RPGs, since you're wasting time doing boring, monotonous activities just to level up your character, instead of learning some real life skills.

    In other words, if you want to have fun with life, strike a fair balance between work and play; don't be a workaholic, but don't be a gamer that plays all day just to have one moment of a good time (especially with online games). Do your job, do your home chores, do your shopping, and play your games all together in moderation. You don't have to love your job though, just find something you don't hate.

    As a kid, video games were a rare activity for me. We had one game called Motor Storm and we were lucky to play it once every few weeks when our parents allowed. There was something special about it. On my thirteenth birthday, my parents bought me my first PS3. This introduced me to a wide variety of games. Most of my greatest early experiences with gaming revolved around connection - the thrill of playing with friends and discovering a world one level at a time. I used to ramble on and on about these games with my all friends at lunch breaks. However, there came a time where my friends moved on and stopped caring about video games. Each hour spent training hordes of zombies didn’t grant the same excitement it once had. Nevertheless, I continued to play hours on end devoting my life to these useless games. I now sit, many years later, and nothing much has changed. For the most part, I am still that same lonely kid stuck at home wasting his life away on a glorified video game; living a lie and chasing that high of connection he once felt. In all those thousands of hours spent playing, I’ve begun to realize that I will never be able to reclaim a single minute of it. I wasted over a month straight playing video games and I’m going to have to live with it. I think it’s time for me to go out and make a few stories of my own before my times up. I’m still young, but this is something I wish I’d realized sooner.

    Beautiful comment. So insightful. I loved it. I find myself in the exact same situation. At first I would play them occasionally but once I got my own it became more of an obsession. All of my childhood memories, including those of friends, revolve around videogames. I find it even a bit freaky hearing how similarly you and I both came to grow up and self-reflect on our lives now. I know your comment is 8 months old from this one but I hope you've added new, real experiences to your life as I too am planning to do now having been inspired by your truthful comment. Let's go for it! Best wishes: someone like you :)

    ​@@juanzilla6436 Its very freaky indeed, glad some of my friends still hang out and play games with me, otherwise i would be loner (not counting my gf) especially in corona times when pubs are closed and such here. The worst thing with gaming for me is the feeling of void and emptiness, like the weeks, months even years passed but are in my memory only as mere days, if not hours. Im trying slowly to get my self on track with learning about what i love beside video games, but its quite hard to be honest. Good luck in life kings. Stay strong.

    I grew up alone as an only child for the first 8 years of my life in a single parent household. My mother always worked, so I stayed alone at home in a furnished, but quiet apartment. To cure my loneliness and boredom, I took solace in my GameCube, playing Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition. Since I was 3, i've gamed for almost 10 hours each day. It gets especially bad if it's a new game that i've never played before, and VERY bad if it's an online multiplayer. Sometimes I feel like my actual life is a mere conduit for me to play video games- that whatever happens doesn't matter, as long as I can play them. I'm 18. All of my friends have jobs, girlfriends, or are college bound...While I sit at home in my room all day, bathing every 3rd day and wallowing in self-pity. I hate myself and I constantly work myself up...To calm myself down, I play a video game. I'm stuck.

    My mom spends several hours a day on Facebook without realizing. But will say I am wasting time on my DS. Social media almost always makes me feel like shit after, not just looking at highlight reels of peoples lives, but the polarizing content and clickbait to get your attention. I often found myself arguing in the comments and just generally getting angry at the shit I saw online. Everyday I encounter a story of murder or theft or someone being cancelled for something and it’s just so toxic to me. Mario, Kirby, etc don’t give me these feelings. Then again, I’m a handheld, single player gamer. I’m not a big fan of the online gaming considering it gives those same feelings listed above. Unless I’m playing with friends, I prefer single player games. The music, art, and gameplay is so relaxing to me and I always feel better after playing. Never felt shame or anger. It’s a relaxation method for me. And because of this I can complete some tasks, and then shut off the system to play another time.

    Balance and moderation is everything. Just like with diet and health, you can't always eat junk foods all the time without suffering bad consequences. But, you have to give yourself some time to relax every now and then. You can't always keep on working hard all the time. That's why things like video games exist. Think of it as a reward after working for some time and after achieving something in life.

    Kaden Wolf failed argument playing the deflection card, dangerous/unrealistic working hours proven harmful to health is the fault of a failed economy and lack of regulation. scientific facts regarding physical/mental health are inconvenient to businesses that try to pressure employee's into dangerous hours, and inconvenient to failed economy's where pay is so low in some jobs that people have to take extra hours (which then slows down productivity/health when the brain passes an X number of hours per week).

    AtomicToyRobot the irony being here while some people attempt to argue that any time spent on fun is "wasted time", the same argument can be made against work because of countries like south korea where a work addiction culture (and #1 oecs suicide rates) finally lead to the government stepping and and whipping companies into submission and regulating maximum work hours allowed. too much time spent on fun is causes problems, too much time spent on work causes problems. the key is balance, but in the case of dangerously extreme work hours (that were scientifically proven harmful to health) being required for the minimum cost of living that's a failed economy without sufficent regulation to prevent corporation's from having employee's work extreme hours.

    Video games are something so special to me because they allowed amazing worlds and experiences and journeys to come alive. Games are so much more than "fun" or "addictive", it's what we get out of them. And I get so much out of them than I can quit for a couple of months, try different hobbies, be happy and content, and still feel like video games are such an amazing art form and that making them a part of my life only adds more value to it. That being said, don't expect to play video games all day and feel fulfilled, cause video games only add value to your life, they shouldn't define it. And you shouldn't cope with your problems and insecurities by immersing in them. You should breath through them to find inspiration and value and beauty or just to have some fun, but never let them breath through you. With great power comes great responsibility, you guys, and I'm sure that video games have the power to break lives, but also to make life one of the most amazing experiences ever. That is the magic of the video game art form.

Now I'm 18 and I can't play more than 3 games. It's not about the right game or boredom of a game, because I still enjoy LoL. It's only about the fact that you realise you're wasting time and you have the will power to do something else, eventually productive, with your time... friends, going out, parties (not clubbing necessarily), simply having walks in the park, doing a sport, learning something new etc. there's so much more to life and it is sooo short, so why waste it? you can game for as long as you want when you can't do anything else or when you are old etc. but why waste such important time when you can do something else with it?

    I disagree, as this is highly subjective. For example: I got a friend, who`s building his own model railway. This building stretches across 3 out of 6 rooms that he lives in. He dumps hundreds, if not thousands of € into new locomotives, decorative stuff (houses, trees, bushes, benches etc.) and new railways. He sits there all day long, fiddling around with details and stuff, repaints things, you name it. He pours his heart and soul into this. If it makes him happy, I won`t ever tell him that this would be a huge waste of time. If it makes him happy, it`s not a waste of time at all..

It happened to me, but I don't listen to this crap and follow my passions. I don't know why someone wants to read a book if they like video games much more, it's not like you become a better human or smarter because of books, it's a different thing to entertain yourself and everyone got their preferences in life. If you would call that addiction then EVERY SINGLE PERSON would be addicted to sonething, like videogames, sports, reading, phoning, chatting or whatever someone just LIKES to do! Enjoy your life, do what you like and don't overthink too much! Ignore toxic people and those, who dislike your hobbies. Life is not about them, it's about you!

    I had a 3 year length relationship. We used to go out every Friday on the first year, so that's 51 days for the first year. Let's say we went out 6 hours average per day so that's 306 hours the first year. We used to go out more time and see each other at college/work, and hang out at anyone's house and sleep together few times the last 2 years. So let's say thats 9 hours average a day, so 9 hours * 365 days = 3285 * 2 = 6570 + 306 of the first year = 6876 hours spent with her. She cheated on me multiple times having sex with her friend. I'd rather spent those hours on The Witcher 3, TES5 Skyrim, RDR2.

    sadly I think you're mixing up "finally getting your fix" with "fun" remember once and addict always an addict, you will spend the rest of your life in remission and your addiction will be woken up again even stronger if you relapse.

    My friend is literally 21, has never had a job, and lives with his parents spending 8 hrs a day on the computer playing video games. Video game addiction is for real a U.S. health epedimic.

    I think singleplayer stuff is less likely to lead people to spend 3 days glued to their chairs, cuz you can just pause it, save and come back later. Multiplayer games force people, especially children, to keep playing knowing that their performance will be affected by leaving the computer for even 5 minutes

    Exactly what i have been saying. People should just stick with single player games, MP games are waste of time trying to prove nothing, it leads nowhere... With SP you get journey trough so much amazing thing. If you bored, you just stop when on MP games you think, ohh no, i invest so many times, i have so much skins, i do this, that, but in reality, its never ending...

How many times have we clicked on new game + how many times have we modded single player games to try and relive that first feeling of starting the game. I’ve spent days playing single player games, then moved onto another and spent thousands on these games that don’t change anything in your life.

    My advice is to get a couple of part time jobs and apply yourself to them with a similar mindset you would have to gaming. You learn pretty quickly how to balance life with gaming. It also helps you get better at some games giving you time to sub consciously process them and helps you learn how to maximize your gaming time to get the most out of them when you do play while also helping you get in a healthier relationship with gaming and social skills
