This video hits hard 5 years later. You’ve made a definitive case for something I’ve always believed. Individuals cannot become individuals if they’re constantly weighed down with authority. Creativity and ingenuity come from facing and overcoming adversity.

[@Frendulum]

I went through a similar stage about 6 months ago. I had been going out with a girl who I was convinced was the one for just over 2 years. We spent every day together after I asked her out. If we couldn't see each other we would be on the phone for hours on end so we could still hear each others voice. She felt like the only one who could make me feel happy, safe and less apprehensive for the future. We both suffered from depression (her moreso as she cut herself severely before we got together). We were always there for each other if we were having a shitty day, crying in each others arms was one of the most fond connection memories I have ever had. Trouble was I had a crippling video game addiction, which bled into my troubles prioritising things. I focused a lot on games as , for the majority of my life they kept me level headed and happy. I would be playing with my friends and laughing, it was great. It took a lot of experiences out of my life that I could have committed to. Challenges to face, new projects to start and people to meet. We decided to move out and get our own place together in the city (moving from the country). The trip to get there was long and I had yet to get a job down there so I worked back where I used to live. She took care if everything, house inspections, the real estate agent, setting up appliances etc. I just assumed "she seems more proactive to do it (and offered to do it) so that's one less thing for me to worry about." She couldn't take being on her own, when I would get back to her I would spend time with her, go for a walk on the beach or get a drink and laugh. She had a tenancy of going to sleep early. When she did this I would play video games for a couple hours and go back to bed with her. Eventually she stated that she just wasnt happy anymore. We didnt spend much time together and I never pulled my own weight. It just wasnt the life she wanted to lead anymore. She didn't have faith that I loved her anymore. This hurt but I embraced her and promised her everything will be alright and that I love her too much to merely not change my ways. She then stated "... you should have already known what you've done without hearing this". We talked for another ten minutes of me promising everything will be alright. At the end I asked if she felt better about us, she said yes. The next day I had to go home to work, for the weekend. I kissed her embraced her and gave her a brief run down that I would he back as soon as I could for her. On the Sunday (the day before j was going to go home). I got a call from her. She was done, we were going different paths and she just couldn't take it anymore. I cried on the phone saying "No matter what happens I'll always love you. You have given me the best years of my life..." I would then cry for weeks, not wanting to sleep because I would dream of her and not wanting to be awake because I would think of her. I got the rest of my stuff and moved back home with my parents, because even though she hated being alone, she was starting to like it (and had new friends and job). I was happy for her it was the start of something new. I couldn't have felt any more hopeless or guilty and shit. 2 months after we broke up she starting going out with a guy in my friend group. Dont know him well but he's popular and built from the gym. He has a large resumè of experiences. Second best was my knew banner, if I could even make second best. She blocked me from everything, as I spammed her with messages about how much I missed her (thinking with my heart and not my brain). I truly lost the greatest friend and connection I had ever received. She hates me now and cant stand my voice. My actions led her to go back to the psychologist. I'm sure you can gauge how great that made me feel. It made do the same. The moral of the story is that I used to believe that video game addiction was the reason, however after feeling the repercussions and looking back I spent tien doing other things (I.e. KZbin discord etc.). I realise that I still a child mentally with how I prioritize. This then caused the greatest pain and regret I've ever felt. Leading to thoughts of suicide, an alcohol addiction and a smoking habit (In the process of cleaning up). I'm now in a new house with my friends getting excited for my first year of university. I'm trying to be less pessimistic and learn to cope more with seeing my ex and her new man as well as just coping thinking about her at all. Thank you to whoever could tolerate reading this far. I wish you all the best. I hope if you went through something similar that you know: things can and will get better. It's the perfect time to recreate and start all of those experiences that we hadnt done and build our character. The greatest lesson I've learnt is "one must love themselves before they love someone else". Its time to learn to love yourself more (behind closed doors as well ;p) and be a better you. People appreciate when you have self worth. I wish you all the best trying to find your self worth.

@@AngelofEresos Well, what I see is that lots of kids spent lots of time learning how to scam and betray and not learning skills that would benefit society and create more wealth for everyone. Being a wannabe crook doesn’t not make wealthier if you are also surrounded by many other wannabe crooks. Too many know how to steal other people’s wealth but there is no wealth to steal if nobody is creating it. The reason why so many feel they are useless is that they are useless.

@Ayye BK I've been playing for 13 fucking years. And I've tried to quit hundreds of times and failed. I know people who have ruined their relationships coz they're too addicted to Runescape. It's insane. I know people who have played the game for tens of thousands of hours. (A guy I know has played for 30,000, in particular) It's ridiculous. It's the kind of thing that once you get into, you can never easily get out of. The best way to describe it is that it's like a Porn Addiction. Quite literally. All the dopamine is a bitch. It fucks over your life in ways you realize only too late. Know that I'm specifically talking about Old School Runescape, I'm not up to date with Runescape 3. It's an excellent game - one of the greatest ever made - but that's what makes it really scary. Just don't, from my personal experience.

@Ayye BK it's a great game and worth playing. Taught me so much about life. It's a game you never really quit playing, but you take breaks from. I go years without playing and pick it back up every once in awhile. The reason why it's so great is because the story is you. You can do whatever YOU want to do in runescape. There are no true limits. Each character has it's own story to tell. It mimica the real world very well.

I am very late to the party, but this is why I love fighting games. Those games taught me that most things I wanted to work towards took time to get good at. Talent only took you so far, after a while you would be overtaken by the person who worked harder and longer. When it came down to it, the spirit of competition was both exhilarating and crushing. It spurned us on, seeking improvement, always searching a stronger opponent. But it also can destroy and discourage if we expect an outcome for ourselves. It taught me I don't deserve anything, and nothing is guaranteed. I must work for nearly everything I want. And most important of all, it taught me that it isn't over till it's over. Until you see that K.O., until you see that "Slash!" or that "Game!" Screen, you keep on fighting.

This video gave me an insane realisation and made me think about many of the games I have played and how they throw rewards at you for nothing consequently making them meaningless. I realised that the games I had most fun with were the games that punished you immensely and made you question your existence, yet made you feel immense satisfaction when something went your way. This video was put together extremely well and you didn't stutter once throughout the whole 55 minutes. Your stories about your early life and experiences with games were engaging and your theories and views were interesting and made me look at society in a completely different way. Well done
