Complete rejection of games. Advantages and disadvantages.
In general, almost a month already, I completely abandoned the games. Removed all launchers, all games installed on the PC and on the phone. While the flight is normal. There was more free time and, in general, the quality of life improved due to the fact that I began to spend less time on the PC.For what reasons I stopped playing:
1. For a long time I did not see the release of really good games. Most of the games are like two peas in a pod. The only difference is the setting. In most games, especially open world ones, the passage turns into a rather monotonous and routine process. We run from point to point, clear locations, collect some rubbish to get a sense of progress.
2. Games require a lot of free time. Moreover, developers are now specifically trying to stretch their games for several tens of hours. As a result, in the game of the plot, let's say for 10 hours, and in order to fully reveal it, you will need to spend 30-40 hours.
3. In terms of plot, for the most part, games will always be worse than the movie, because for the game to work, you need to make a huge mass of conventions and assumptions. The simplest example is when the world is on the verge of some kind of disaster, and every npc in the game asks you to complete some kind of passing quest.
Of the minuses, probably the fact that very rarely, once every few years, really great games come out (RDR 2 for example or the Witcher 3) which, of course, I would like to at least get to know a little.
Something like this.

Oh, and I still can not overcome this dark temptation. Although I also don’t follow the release of games and don’t watch trailers, the announcements of new games flicker on Pega and you will not know what to expect. Fortunately, there will be no new Stalker. There are pluses and minuses here. Of the minuses, this is that such an imb game can take a lot of time, it will also be overly demanding, which will have to update the computer on ultras. And with our iron pitch prices, this is problematic. It's good that games like The Witchers and Redemschen don't come out often, otherwise you'd have to take vacations one after the other. You received God's revelation, not realizing how and why it happened, but in doing so you used it wisely, directing a glimpse of your mind to more important matters in worldly life. Not everyone is destined for this, so even to accept this grace. You got out of the graffonium dungeon pitch and rutuix rays and now you can consciously take control over yourself and at the same time, save tons of babos, without spending them on updating your computer and buying face games. I have rarely seen gamers have such willpower. When I often had a bad mood, my computer bodily fell and I thought that it would never turn on, or I would not do it. But the demon of temptation again entered into it, and as a result, I again found myself in front of the desktop, the cured computer, when I did it, or I had to buy something so that it would function again. Some mice and claves I have changed in half a year already)))) But, as I remember how much money I spent on an iron fat man, I felt like beating him up. You say that life has improved since you gave up the pitch of the world ... Hmmmm. I need to think about this proposal.
And I'm trying to clear everything that I've been rocking for many years. I missed something, something didn’t work, stupidly demolishing everything is not our method. We should at least give the game a chance ... however, it cannot be said that there are many good games among this pile. Usually you start it, play for several hours and don’t want to start it anymore. Lie down on the screw for a while and flies into the basket.
Free time is not so valuable for me, because in any case it is winter now and I have nowhere to go from the room with the computer. What should I do, clean the snow and march along the path around the house?) Well, I run around the fucking school in Monarca, for example, and in another case I sit at the same computer with a soldering iron in my hands, sorting through some apparatus, or again I sit at the computer and reading books. There is no heating in the workshop, you can’t do much work there now, it’s dark, cold and damp. It would be spring already, there are so many things to do.
Soon the whole of Russia will refuse games, whether the players want it or not, at least new ones for sure.

What you describe, I don't play at all and haven't played in most of my life!
There are economic strategies that I have been playing for the last 10 years, there are not many of them and only 3 at the moment. I didn’t get tired of anything, probably due to sluggish fluidity.
I try to relax, and not achieve goals in the game and not strain to win)

You are a terrible man Herman, what did you think of them, just hit a defenseless technique right away, and if it takes revenge, will it hurt you with an electric shock?

I remember something like that, when the thumb on the left hand touched the extreme valve on the video. I was hungover and was in such a state, oooh, how dumb it is to feel such a blow !!!
Rolemanser
Since that time, I realized the great truth, it's better not to climb a computer with a hangover. I was just curious to see how things are going inside. For three months did not open the lid of the case. Well, rearrange the backlight.

There are many who believe that it is better to do and then deal with the consequences than to think - but do you need it ?!
complete rejection of games? heh, heh ... the trouble is the beginning, soon you will have to give up a lot

Somehow I lost interest in games, I switched to desktop games. There are board games that you can play alone, but their price tag bites.
I gave up kitz a few years ago. from modern in the first place to 20-30 years old. and I never really listened to modern music. and there are no special pluses and minuses from that. I can say that I saved some money, but here I must admit that I did not have much interest in the Kints.
and if I gave up the games and, consequently, everything connected with them and the graphonium in real time and everything that is needed for the games, I would logically return to some kind of my quasi-school incomprehensible time of the spiritual arts. only I would have a lot of time to sleep because I don’t need to do my homework and the subjective perception of time is still different
For many years I have been trying to force myself to switch to games only in real life: poker, chess, tennis, billiards, but so far without success

I would recommend that everyone fundamentally abandon single-player games and games with randoms over the network. If there are no friends or they don’t want to play now, do something else, for example, find new friends))

Now a holy war is going on, a lot of sanctions are rushing to Russia, the enemy is not asleep from the West and creates the Death Star. There is nowhere to retreat, the dollar exchange rate is celebrating a victory, prices for pitches have skyrocketed, transport costs no longer 28, but 35 rubles, the gods of Chaos weave intrigues in the minds of mortals! Therefore, the game is moving into the background for the time being. It's time to start discussing the pressing issues that are being done in the world and go out into the environment of real graphonia at full human maximum speed! That is the way.
Windows will no longer be updated. But launchers will be updated. This means that launching a license will be difficult for some games. Either pirates or stop playing games. Perhaps a replacement for Linux. I personally did not install it, I don’t know what it is
Why refuse? I understand when they give up booze, smoke, watching movies where naked aunts and uncles do yoga, or at worst sweets and fast food, but what is it? Play every other day for two hours, but you will play some games for a month, but your free time will appear, which is not the fact that it will be spent on something useful like mastering a new profession (Write Hello word and say that I am a programmer is not considered). For me, the difference was quitting fast food and watching porn. There was no computer for games and a console for five or six years at one time, and this did not stop me from degrading. And with movies, the same awaits you as with games, just trust me. Replacing one fun with another does not bring a long difference. No, maybe you are one of those who can improve daily, I xs, in my experience you burn out quickly and sometimes you need to cheer, or movies to watch scoring everything. One evening you learn English, for example, you play another, then you go to a rocking chair / yoga / some other crap after which you become an Apollo of beauty, then you play again, the most working option. I love films, but after those five years, I sometimes predict the development of events and in general, as with games, a couple of iconic films, some of which are arthouse, this will be your maximum. There will be no difference. Go to the monastery.
