What technology cures videogame addiction?

Growing the fuck up.

suicide

There's this really cool thing called a dumpster. You put all your games in there and you'll never have to worry about them again.

A door, to go outside

I did that and she turned to watching videos of other people gaming.

Play more video games.
That's what I did and got bored with them, haven't cared about them for years, because it's always the same shit; go there, do that, kill that, advance...

The only exception is competitive games, those can be engaging, because you're challenging yourself against others and it's a social activity too.

Then there's a deeper problem than just a gaming addiction.

You're probably right.
Isn't there an app that simulates hardware failures? When your times runs out, your GPU drivers crash, or your RAM is corrupted, or your CPU gets highly underclocked.
Something to make a person snap out of it and get up from the chair.

If getting rid of the games turned into another addiction (watching lets plays), then all this would do is piss them off until they learned to ignore it.

Does this person have some sort of condition like ADD that could cause this sort of hyper focus you're describing?

I can lose most of a day when I'm not medicated to some hyper focus BS.

Having a job, and having meaningful hobbies such as sports. Like FPS games? Why not buy a rifle and try target or clay shooting? Or Airsoft? Like racing games? Why not buy a cheap sports car such as a Miata and hit your local mountain road?

Not sure, we've never taken my sister to a psychologist and so far she's shown excellent success in school (she's 12). It's just that her trash classmates are playing fornite and she wants to keep up with them to have friends. Or so she says.
>ADD
She's very attentive but completely detatches herselve from reality when she sits down to do something - read a book, watch a movie, play games. She literally has this completely blank PTSD style expression on her face and rarely whispers to herself.
Mom insists it's normal (compared to me at least). When I study, I always find myself just rocking back and forth. It has happened that I snap out of reality, then later find out I'd been rocking back and forth, doing some sound like MMMM MMMMM MMMM because an exam was stressing me out.

not being a virgin

Well she's a teenager and has no time for such activities. Hell, I don't think anyone under 40 has time for such activities.

are you a gnu/dad

this must be b8

I'm not a dad, I'm 23.

Rsi

Gentoo. No games.
Block twitch in the host file. Possibly youtube as well if that doesn't work.

Okay literally when are you going to just say "You know what, I think life just doesn't offer enough of a challenge, let me have fun instead of staying competitive."?

I'm not sure about that, I don't want her to jump outside the controlled environment of digital media.
God, is there really no app like the one I mentioned?

when are you going to stop being a faggot and policing people's lives for no other reason then because you think you're right?

the app is called windows 10. it will just crash on you for literally no reason and tell you "something happened"

I am right and I am not going to let her live in a delusion that life is rainbows and sunshine. I was a complete fucking shut-in at her age and tried to speedrun every single game and map out every path, and make optimised builds for PVP. I didn't even enjoy it.
Fuck that, completely fucking wasted years, not letting her slip into that lifestyle.
har har

Time, and finding out that I was quite literally wasting my life away.
I spent more time playing video games than developing a meaningful hobby and learning more about it. It took me a long time, but eventually after slowly seeing myself falling back into the old habit, I deleted all of my games, backed up my windows partition, and made the switch to Linux.
The only thing I miss about them is the whole community aspect of the games I played, mainly WoW and Eve online. I made a lot of good friends on these games, and even met some of them IRL and became even better friends.

/thread.

They don't use much time at all, I often hit my local pistol range in the afternoon after work. Money might be an issue, tho, but if you live in America shooting as a hobby is extremely cheap. Here in my country a gun license costs $500 a year, plus $350 membership in the shooting club a year (required to have a semiautomatic pistol), 9mm ammo is like 80 US cents a single round, etc.

>rocking back and forth, doing some sound like MMMM MMMMM MMMM
thats a big yikes from me

Is she cute?

Portable gaming consoles and smartphones. Videogame outdoor with lots of friends is already better.

addiction is a psychological condition, user
you have the find the cause, and the cause is individual
there's something amiss in this person's life, and most of the time, the only one who can truly find it is themselves
the only thing you can really do is stick around and be there for when she needs, and offer possibilities of different things such as therapy, or different things to do on a daily basis, etc, though they'll only take effect if she's willing to accept

she's not going to accept your help and resent you for being so hamfisted and then when she's an adult she'll do it anyway with the added bonus of not wanting to talk to you. I'm sorry you feel you wasted your time but projecting your problems onto her and then being overbearing about it is a recipe for disaster

clearly it's a social thing, and not gaming addiction
as I pointed out in (before reading through the thread), it's a psychological condition, and no magic solution can solve it

My brother met his gf playing poke mongo

Try putting yourself in conditions when you will be unable to play games. I mean go help your parents or find someone and spend time with them. Mb start making real money. In a nutshell - LIVE YOUR LIFE

Getting something else to do.
A bit of responsibility always helps.

Getting out of the house? Getting out of your room
I just take a break from games for a couple of days to month's/years

I have shot before and it's just too expensive here. Thanks fo the recommendation thought.
Fuck you I'm not projecting anything. I am a living example of the worst case scenario and she doesn't learn from me. I don't want her to grow up to be me, humans are better than that.
I was hoping this wouldn't pop up. I think I will finally admit defeat and listen to your advise and advise like yours. Maybe this isn't a one-off thing.
I tried going cold turkey a few years back when I went to college and basically ended up talking to myself out loud and acting out action scenes in my room. I fucking pray to God she will never have to fall as low as I have.

That won't hurt you, electricity will just flow between your fingers and you'll yank the thing away.

Gee idk u could have tried not playing vidya and just socialising? Me personally I've given u until I move I live in a meth shithole in aus where everyone is unfriendly my age and I'm late 20s neet virgin
U at home with folks like me or?

Give them something to do?
Kids aren't allowed to do anything except be coddled helicopter parented shutins due to YOU.
That's right, it's YOU that is the problem.

YOU have denied your children the right to do anything else.
Is your daughter allowed to go riding to the park?
No? Why?
And you wonder why they play videogames, fuckhead.

Yeah I dropped out of college because I am severely confused as to what I want to do in life. My life's been revolving around my sister for 2 years.
>socialising
Sure I'm usually the funny guy people hang around and I always get asked to tell that one story again. But that life is meaningless and boring, I wish I were hopelessly autistic but could sit down and study for N hours straight.

>my life turned out this way because of video games
>therefore hers WILL turn out the same because of video games
how is that not projecting? all I'm saying is that you're not going to accomplish what you hope to and may end up making it worse in the process.

Wait op I'm confused it's your sister right? Idk she seems lonely be a big bro and comfort her she needs a man in her life not shiity online shit.
Sadly it took me ages to work that out and patch shit up with my mum and dad as I was acting like a faggot so either she'll get to a crisis point and go down the whole suicidal depression route multiple times until she pulls herself out of it or u man the fuck up give her a light slap with diccu or hand
I know that exact feeling I was always the sad clown but when your feeling down nobody wants to know.
Easy to make friends really hard to keep them
Pic of sister? No face

>big bro
Whenever I hear a sigh or a thud, I come running to help her with homework or computers or anything. Anything to please her may help herr condition I tell myself.
But she's not lonely, she has two good friends. Pretty sure one will grow up to be a psycho gold digger but still. She calls and gets called and seems to have a somewhat OK life.
I'm thinking how her underachieving friends aren't spending half as much studying.
>I know that exact feeling I was always the sad clown but when your feeling down nobody wants to know.
Oooffff fucking YIKES
>Pic of sister?
No, sorry.

pic cured my addiction. now i spend my days live drawing furry scat gay porn @ picarto and earning money through patreon.
i hope to reach shadman levels of memery by the end of 2020.

turning 30

Is she cute at least? That's what matters most for women sadly
Face > personality > body
She's only 12 ffs I was a edgy leftie crusty demons wunna be we all go through phases
She better be a pc gamer and not a fucking console fortnite playing thog

post her pics

Yeah she's basically aryan and early developed. Most girls her age already have breasts and buy bras. I don't know what they put in the water these days.
>leftie
Yeah she's reading and watching fucking ancap memes and believing them.
>pc gamer
Yeah on my old rig, hate myself for optimising that shit.

Oh, that seems like something serious. Consider going to therapist or try yoga, mb meditation. And don't go cold turkey if you can't. Try stepping down a bit every 2-3 days or even a week. Btw look through some anti-addiction communities like nofap. They have some very helpful tips

No fucking way, will get doxxed for sure.

programming and network engineering cures video game addiction

It's about my sister. I've completely given up on myself but thanks.
Don't think her mind is wired for engineering thought.

Getting a gf. Really it does. Girls hate anything that brings you pleasure that doesn't involve them and will continuously subvert vids the longer you stay together.

Based may you and your oppai loli sister have stronk Aryan offspring with each other and or fellow whites
As for her being addicted to vidya who the fuck cares plenty of neet hikki fembots or breeders as long as she's at least pumping out white babies it's all good.
How big are her boobs hahah
Just post Bob then crop rest
(giving up) is a smart thing to do these days let normal fags bash their heads against a ever lowering ceilings fighting over deminishing workers rights wages and jobs in a age where a globalised robotic workforce can immigrate at the drop of a hat
Happened here in aus in just 5 years it's fucked
Hope u live rent free with folks
Nice to see your helping your sis instead of being a faggot s o y c u c k brother like most cunts
Glhf
Read the thread nigger he's mainly asking for hel to get his oppai loli sister to quit playing so much pc games

God does this post give me mixed messages.


Like seriously is there no app that will crash your PC and make it look as an accident?

Lol mate life is mixed messages be it shitposting in a tech board about oppai lolis or having some random npc yell shit at you.

Anyway Tbqh just let her be if she shows signs of (shutting down aka deep depression) like never leaving her room bad hygiene and dodging friends for over a week get worried what am I talking about you know exactly what to look for.
As for breaking her pc don't do that every time mine dies I get hungry as fuck I usually just build a entirely new pc out of frustration

Sit her down grab a boob and be honest with her
Idk my answer for anything is oppai loli incest but im a opedious complex fag who has issues so I'm not the best fella to talk to about complex family issues

Okay your honesty is appreciated

Best of luck imma go fap now
Idk get her on some more social games? Discord + siege is pretty good for meeting edgy teens

Okay I've decided to write my own multi-platform app that crashes certain parts of the computer system on schedule.

If she works out your doing it you'll never get her pusy lub bob and won't trust u.
Go the direct route if anyone fucked with my pc I'd kill them

What games she play? Maybe the player base is shit if it's Overwatch or csgo or fortnite just get her onto better games

What the hell is wrong with you I bet you're the type of guy to sneak to the drawers at night and sniff sis/mom shoes. You'd like that huh.

I just straight up grab her tits and ass like a chadson
Based incestuous senpai

She's my sister and I love and protect her, how can you ever get turned on by your sister? Is it because she's already used to living with you so all the work's already done?
Granted, one time my then-gf surprised me with a sister foreplay and I unexplicably got a boner. God I remember that, I was sitting on the couch playing games and she leaned back and started rubbing her feet on my stomache.

Quads of truth say give her the onii-chan special.

Lol your limbic system knows what it wants your lizard brain doesn't give a fuck about incest.
Cool story for once op isn't a faggot
Based I agree

That's fucking sick, just get a girl to play out your fantasies with. It's not nearly as hot as you think. There's nothing special about sex once you have it more than 5 times.
Like what do you think happened on the couch?
"mmm brooo is it true guys like..... feeet?! ewwwww"
15 minutes later I bang it right on the walls of her uterus and explode. Like wooooow never seen that before in porn.

>comes on Jow Forums of all boards to ask us how to cure video game addiction
>then casually says his sister is a cute oppai 12 year old
>turns around and calls us sickos
Hay your thr one who popped a boner I do when I play with mums tits all the time
Why do u Yanks get so hung up on this shit yet let gays and niggers trannie shit run all over your country? Not a footfag either breasts > everything
Doesn't nix have proton now?

Psychotherapy. Vidiyas are escapism, so to lose interest to them, you'll need to determine the root cause, why you're attracted to them.

Is there a book or two I can read on the subject. Psychotherapy is expensive.

Any weaponry in vital spot,
any carbon chemical/energetical consumption mechanism,
but most importantly, and one that doesn't need technology,
willpower.

It has GNU/Games.

SFM porn

1) I strongly advise against self-taught medical help
2) Maybe Mexico is less expensive?
3) OK, I don't know. Maybe you can just talk to figure out what's wrong with her life.
I played games every moment I could when I lived with abusive mother who called me a "sucker", "not a man", etc, etc. I lost interest to them shortly after moving out and gained it again when the pressure at work became unbearable, then just switched to alcohol.

Thanks you're right

>Doesn't nix have proton now?
it still needs a lot of improvement...

maturity

Easiest way is to watch movies/tv series that dive into that shit.
Better yet harass people online I learnt a shit tonnee
Discord VoIP and ingame chat push peoples buttons
Seriously though incest fag here again just be a supportive bro and be honest don't go fuck with her pc and use wuss subversive psych tactics just be upfront ffs it's not even hard
Again what games does she play does he hand around weird discords? U want help yet u won't spill all the beans who and what she says online is more important than psycho therapy quack shit it's basically just cheat codes and short cuts to get a quick fix to someone's psyche without tackling the bigger issues
>loneliness
>sexual frustration (this is a big o e considering shes hit puberty)
>perental figures (father especially is important for women)
Where are your/her parents in all this? Are you blood related and close?
So much shit your skipping over I feel I'm back in r9k where u just wunna vent and not actually do anything just a quick fix and not attack the root of her addiction problems
First it's vidya then it's sex/drugs
Most psychologists/psychiatrists just say what u wunna here and string you along to get paid.
Your advice is shit
Yeah I heard u lose alot of performance.
I'm sick of w10 it's so unstable

>What technology cures videogame addiction?

Just buy so many games you develop executive dysfunction and can't bring yourself to play any of them.

PUBG, CS, and fornite. Literally normie trash. Doesn't do voice chat, talks with girls separately. Boys: I don't know, I don't ask.
She doesn't act depressed or lonely, just really naturally obsessive over whatever she finds interesting. Sadly, now she finds crappy videogames interesting.

Sounds like a phase to me as I've said let it pass she will get burnout
Unless she puts over 1000+ hours into that shit don't worry.
We all played cod/cs/tf2/bf shit back in the day.
Least all the games are (free) now

sex

Why can't she get addicted to studying instead

Stop taking drugs.

that shit wont happen anymore, my mom was addicted to studying, because she lived in a small town where there was literally nothing else to do. with the internet now, its only going to get worse.

video game development will make you hate games

yes it exists its called "doing something useful with your time"

BASED AND IRONPILLED

The Sun and going outside.

The people who talk about video game addiction do not play video games though. They're technophobes and busibodies and crypto-communists who hate gaming because it's something white dudes like
