Delete your games and sell your graphics card on ebay

Tried that once, I ended up procasnating on YouTube and LTT forum instead, the issue is internet/computer addiction overall.

Get a shrink and or ask parents to take away your stuff, not a big problem and not hard to figure out

Get help asap

[lewdicrous]

Dedication is key, if you truly want to quit then it'll happen.

It will be difficult at first but it's gonna get easier sooner or later, all the best.

I rarely play video games anymore. Find a hobby that you can work on in the time that you would normally spend playing video games. I might recommend programming. You still get the computer time, and you learn valuable skills and logic. I get a much bigger rush from programming than I ever did from playing video games.

As for whether or not you should "quit" gaming, I mean, are you addicted to it? Do you experience withdrawals when you aren't gaming?

sell your computer idk, I used to game a lot some years ago but you know other things got in the way and now I just casually game some fallout/witcher or league of legends, I reached "Master" tier in that game 2 years ago and now I just play standard short matches not competitive ones

I ain't old enough, Plus that would just make it worse because I would have money and nothing to spend on so I will go back to games.

Actually working does take away a lot of your freetime.
How my life was before I quit my job
was sleep to around noon, wake up watch youtube or look up random shit or watch something on netflix/tv, get ready for work, work, come home, spend any bit of time I can with my ldr bf (long distance relationship), stay up until 3am doing what I did before work. Rinse and repeat.

But I should add, I could've had a better schedule it's just that was what I settled with, but it lead me to quitting anyways because I didn't like that.

as someone that has started learning, i'm getting to the point that i am feeling the rush. but reaching that satisfaction takes a while, especially on more complicated problems. at times i even question if it is for me, as i am thinking of getting into software industry (never held a job before as well)

 

but i will admit, i am gaining some passion. lately i've pretty much only thinking about programming. even so, it is very much outside my comfort zone so it's tough to get into the groove every day.

Pass me your GPU and everything will be fine. 

[FroxIV]

Buy EA games. These will get you out of gaming pretty soon.

LOL

Go to bed around 2 or 3am, wake up at 11am or noon

computer, games, porn, eat, porn, games, computer, eat, drink, go out

Anything over 4 hours a day, non work related, is a problem.

I haven't been able to make myself game much for years for various reasons, and it seriously has had a  very negative impact on my life. You can't let it consume you, but you need activities like gaming or whatever you want to do to enjoy yourself and reduce stress. 

 

And btw at your age, and a bit older more so, my life was 50% gaming 50% hanging out with friends (which itself was 50% gaming). You're too young to worry about that.

Find a sport that you genuinely enjoy. I thought I hated sports until I started kayaking and that got me out of gaming and getting active. Then I was introduced to cross country skiing and I love it so much I got to provincial championships in my first year. I dont think it helped my computer problem though because all I do is look at skis or ski

Grow some willpower, i was able to shake meth, you can shake viga games

[Mr.Meerkat]

Well I don't think many people will be able to tell you how to quit gaming however, if you're anything like me, you will eventually burn out and no longer find playing video games fun. I mean whenever I fire up a game now, it feels like a chore to me and I get super bored as quickly as 15 mins.

[Bananasplit_00]

put in so many hours daily that you compleatly burn out and then never go back to the game, thats how i have generally quit games lol

Sell your video card. Make some money, and in the current climate, it is quite difficult to obtain a replacement.

 

Then again, I was just playing Fable TLC for about an hour on my Intel Atom pc, soo... *shrugs*

 

Uninstall all video drivers?

If you've got a good eye for the basics of a language down, I would say that it's time to start widening your scope and look at some of the more academic topics like boolean algebra, set theory, discrete mathematics... 

That's were you learn alot of the "hard" stuff that you see going on when you look up different algorithms (things like, because we know x and y, then we know z). I would recommend a textbook called "Discrete Mathematics and it's applications". It's a little pricey if you go for new instead of used, but it's well worth the investment.

any resources that can ease me into those topics. i'm not particularly great at math but algorithms are pretty interesting

If you can handle algebra, that book will be ok. There is nothing more advanced than algebra, that the book doesn't teach you itself (and teach you easily and well).

eh i remember when i was 13, i played till late night myself, you can say i'm addicted at that age

i'll be 28 this year, and i still play games. the big difference is that i know how to manage my time. i do chores, i pay bills, i go to work, i exercise, and surprise surprise i play games

 

 

keyword here is, manage your time, put alarm clock or something so you know its time to stop. another way is to refrain yourself from playing on weekdays. games are only for weekends only. have someone put password or take gpu or cables out of your pc and return it on friday night or something
