I'm 40 and I'm still stuck in the "just ten more minutes" turns into two more hours, I have to set alarms to stop myself. Currently juggling between Elden Ring, and XCom2.
While possible I'm not completely convinced it's that alone, I think that because addiction usually escalates meaning the person would get lost in more predatory means such as gacha or something with constant feedback.
It's not that fun. Avoiding my parents is annoying, and so is dodging questions like "What's new?"from university colleagues. >Ahhh Anon is getting married. Banon has a new job in tech. Canon has moved to Germoney. Danon has a kid on the way. Enon has broken up with his gf, but he's dating her sister now.
I. Don't. Care. I just want to play games and jerk off to AI hentai I generate.
That's why you get up early in the morning so you get to play before work
key things are repetition and scheduled. Getting up the same time every day does wonders for your energy levels even if going to bed is at different times, however if you can go to bed the same time and get up at the same time every day you get a massive boost of energy. Also get condition not to eat 4+ hours before you plan to go to bed.
is it weird to feel the opposite
just launching a game is a gigantic mental hurdle for me for some reason but then I have fun playing whatever no problem
swap playing with developing, then add a third panel that says finally playing the game you made and it's still patrick asleep
gaming is a curse, even if you make your dream game you'll be too tired to play it because you have to keep up with its updates/you've already "played it" every step of the way as you were making it and know everything there is to know about it
Unironically Lost Ark. I always remember the fun part of the game which makes up like 3% of your totalplaytime. The other 97% is spent on literal chores. Im dumb.
because you have burned out your serotonin receptors through video game addiction

Get off Ganker and take care of your family
yep, this is me... I've been a NEET for so long that I feel like I can't escape
Work all day too tired evening early sleep

Not me. I neet all day, night, and sleep during the morning.
I miss being able to do that AND not sleep for 36 hours straight, fun times

How much time have you been doing this? I'm literally you and I don't think my neet time will be much longer.
2 years. Ever since I got my MA.

I don't even work but I'm too tired to do anything
You're depressed. Get out of your room and touch some grass. Do other things.
Take a break from the hobbie, you're burnt out
You are depressed and feel unfulfilled in life
Because if the anticipation was worth less than the outcome, humanity as a species would allow itself to die

For me it's more like this
for me this also applies any time I want to add new code to my game.
How the hell does one even learn to code a game? I've only learned how to do simple calculations and showing messages in the screen so far.

Dopamine release was found to be associated with the anticipation of an activity and not the activity itself.
