Everything in moderation

You can take up things you find interesting instead of gaming.

Write a list down of things you can do in a week.

168 hours in a week.

3x7 - 21hrs hours gaming?

3x7 - 21hrs some hobby

3x7 - 21hrs some other hobby

8x7 - 56hrs sleeping

You're still left with 49 hours to eat, shit or do whatever.

Of course you can change the number of hours for things as it suits you but start with keeping a track of your weekly activities and divide your weekly hours accordingly.

From personal experience gaming can and will ruin your future prospects. On the other hand if you're a bit older and you have a steady job/routine you should already have free time you use to do what you want and playing some games in that time isn't going to kill you.

Huge waste of time. No girl on the planet has ever cared about what level your orc is at.

Yeah it’d probably be worth it to cut out video games imo. There’s no real benifet to playing video games other than using it as something to burn time. If you cut out video games, you will probably end up replacing that time with something more productive. I got rid of video games, and started playing online chess as a substitute for instance. I spent far less time playing chess than I did playing videogames so the rest of the time I read, studied, and watched movies instead.

I find watching movies, playing chess and reading to be somewhat of a waste of time, but a much better way to waste my time.

Instead of cutting it out, find something that appeals to you more. Like a hobby or something.

It is probably the most unattractive hobby there is, so if you want to keep playing, at least don't tell girls about it. Video games can make you come across as a beta nerd.

The games I like are too niche and short to take up more than an hour of any given session and I limit myself to no more than two sessions a week.

Try getting into shit like bullet hell or arcade games like metal slug. I have never enjoyed "AAA" style games, since they've moved from "toys for teenagers" to "cinematic bullshit"
