Addiction: If I keep playing video games, what exactly do I need to replace this

Addiction: If I keep playing video games, what exactly do I need to replace this void with to stop playing?

The problem is you haven't found anything outside of games that challenges you. Everything else seems boring. You should try new things. There are so many awesome and challenging things out there. Some of them even earn you an income.

How many of these have you tried:

Coding (making games?)

Snowboarding

Rock climbing

Ultimate frisbee

Board games

Cooking competitions

Trekking through the Congo with gorillas

This is a checklist. Try every single one of these. Maybe you'll hate a couple, a couple more will be meh, and most importantly you'll like/love a couple more. Then make the list bigger. This is the stuff life is made of.

There's a great big world out there.
