- written 3 months ago – voted for by thesuckersluvbu - (1 vote) Has anyone ever received credible advice on here and actually used it?
Xeno and Caitherra,
I have been addicted to WoW for over a year, (was two years ago).
on the upper part, having not being judged by stigmas and prejudgment made it possible for me to be myself and be appreciated for who i am, which increased my self confidence.
people are just as true there as in life - if your an ******* in real life, you’d be an ******* in the game too. so yea, it is real people on the other side.
and trading there can be a real mastery of understanding people’s psychology.
i can go on saying lots of good things about the game’s content
HOWEVER
socializing in the game, plus doing activities that force you to stay in front of the computer , like dungeons, and obligations to other players, guild meetings, raids, daily quests…
the gaining more and more power with no real limit, having successes in this world that one might not be able to achieve in real life…
all these make this game really addictive.
it divides life to two different lives.
and since the virtual life seem to be more rewarding and satisfying, it is natural that people will prefer staying in there.
so real life is diminished, again and again, until it looses it’s meaning…
you eat just to get rid of hunger - which interrupts your gaming,
you sleep only because you can’t hold on awake another second to complete another achievement…
then you become physically week, you damage your health, which makes you even more reluctant to go outside and do something other than sit in front of the computer.
about numbing the mind:
computer games aren’t stimulating your imagination.
your brain doesn’t need to create images out of nothing, speculating, analyzing phenomenons… no, planning how to kill the next boss doesn’t count.
playing any game in the computer is only a set of easily adjustable reflexes,
reacting to visual (and sometimes vocal) stimulations,
it doesn’t use any other sense, nor smell nor touch nor taste…
gaming is some type of trance.
your brain gets to rest, stops thinking at all.
it is also addictive like a drug because of that, because when you are in trouble in life and needs a get-away, an escape from your own thoughts and feelings,
you turn to gaming, and sometimes it is the troubles caused by gaming that you are afraid to face which causes you to escape to gaming…
like any other addiction.
i know only two ways of stopping:
1. suffer from a trauma caused by the game
(like being really hurt by someone)
2. cut it off.
make the computer go away for at least a month with no alternatives
(no playstation, no over-watching tv, no “just checking e-mail on mom’s computer”)
do something fun and fulfilling during that months.
like, it could be in a one month cross country caravan tour,
or starting new hobbies, reading, playing an instrument, going to social activities, courses…
it is very hard to start with as you seem to forget what else there is in life other than the game, so you are in danger of sitting bored and doing nothing, producing anger on the fact that the computer has been denied of you.
so there has to be something always to be done with no spare moments.
and it might as well be something sportive and exhausting so in the end of the day all you would want to do is to sleep.
after a week it would become more fluent.
now there is the danger of coming back to it.
one must realize how clear his mind is when off the gaming.
one must realize how his life became better.
he must also know that it can ALL be lost by playing even 10 minuets.
and it is true.
it can erase your memory, suck you in again, 10 minuets become an hour, that becomes four, and before you know it in a day or two everything goes back to what it used to be…
but he cannot see the difference if he haven’t been completely out of it at least once.
about the trauma thing, well, i wouldn’t advise it.
i hope it helps,
i’ve been in and i’ve been out.
i am now very frightened to play any game, because my life went over a good turning point and i don’t want to lose all that.
and i know i’ve been working hard not to, and it is just not worth the 10 minuets.
had my best friend sworn to choke me if she ever catches me playing :)
- written 4 months, 3 weeks ago – voted for by ~CaitherrA~ - (1 vote) Writing Emergency!
i sometimes lose designs i make if the computer crush and i was too much into the work that i forgot to save…
however, because i start from scratch, and i know better where it was supposed to be going, i don’t try to duplicate the same thing i remembered i did, i start my thinking from the point i was at and create a better result almost always.
writing is different, i agree, but try to let it flow a new, baring in mind the things you have learned about the characters while writing it earlier,
make it sharper, use what you already know to rewrite everything in a better way.
maybe even creating a different event than the characters was at previously, one that will reflect what you wanted to say in a better manner.
- written 4 months, 3 weeks ago – voted for by auroranflas - (1 vote) Ok My computer has NO sound and it will not work it
you need to turn the service on:
Right-click “my computer” >> click “manage”
>> services and applications >> services
look for “windows audio” and double click it.
under “service status” click the “start” button.
under “startup type” choose “automatic”
then click “ok”
and your done.
