Why do you all keep referring to that guy as her and she? Finally giving in and calling trannies by their preferred pronouns?

You forgot to call me a retard or meth-head while ignoring the question I asked you.

No, man, I can't fix it on my own. If I could then I wouldn't need help! I really want to fix my life, I just can't cause of my addiction to video games.

Do you, personally, want to see any other forms of hobbies added to the list so that people can get treatment? That's why I have a problem with it. They're already trying to start regulating shit. Classifying video games as a dangerous/addictive 'substance' makes it easier for them to...

Got any links to studies about specific games that are designed to turn people into "drug addicts"?

Yeah, it was still connected, I didn't cut it in half, I was on the bottom of it. I had most of the left side of the atlas done from top to bottom but it wasn't very wide (I was trying to stop them all from spawning in t8/t9 maps that I don't have so I wouldn't have to buy a bunch to run him...

Why should video games be on the list but all other hobbies should not? Why would video game addiction being on the list make you better able to treat people than you currently are able to since you've already said that people can and have come to you about it? Edit: If you don't have a...

Ok. My life is pretty screwed up due to decisions i've made in the past, want to send me some money to help straighten things out since i'm one of those people who can't pay for it myself? Maybe a few thousand so I can buy a used car and stop walking an hour each way to work? Maybe a few...

The thing I don't like about those records is they go by specific dates exclusively. "-17 new record low! Insanity!" meanwhile the record low for 2 days later or earlier is -29 from 74 years ago.

Liches are pretty rare. I just got my 2nd one today. I got kind of annoyed earlier. I was spreading my elder influence out on the left side of the map to get him and guardians to spawn, had a big chunk set up, ran a map on the outside of the bottom. After the map I look at my atlas and I...

I know you are but what am I?

If the individual is the problem then why does it matter if video games get classified on dsm or not and why should video games be on there but everything else not? You said people almost never actually get to you for treatment if insurance doesn't pay for it. Do you think insurance should...

Yea ok that must be it. Why do video games need to be added to the DSM and treated the same as drug/alcohol addictions? Why are video games special to the point where other hobbies should not also be added? Do you only care about people who have video game addictions and not people who are...

Isn't skill set kind of a huge part of what makes someone scary when it comes to fighting sports?

That's a lot of dps. How high does your wild strike get with all your stuff up? I'm at like 33-35k with just golem and hatred in hideout, about 45k on both with my charges/flasks up I think. 9 Proj on my MS. Then again i'm slayer/berserker so not the best dps setup. My rings could use quite...

Nah, Browns gonna beat the Steelers.

I wonder if all the viewership/etc issues from all the shenanigans this year is going to have an impact on contracts or not.

Ok, let's just raise everyones insurance rates by 15% so they can stay profitable while paying for people to get counseling for their video game dependencies. And then we can add television/etc to the lists too and get those people the help they need! Now try to honestly answer this: Was it...

Eh, I don't even pay attention to flask timers, I just mash them every couple seconds unless i'm in between packs. Reworked a few passives yesterday to get some crit multi, aspd and another jewel slot, tried my white elder again and steamrolled him. Shaper still died on the 4th whatever he...

Apartment complex I live in has 2 laundry rooms per floor (2 washers/dryers in each room).... motherfuckers constantly put their shit in the fucking machines and then let it sit in there for fucking hours and hours after it's done. OTHER PEOPLE NEED TO USE THE MACHINES TOO, ASSHOLES!

Yeah it's gonna be 5-15F here for the next 10 days or so which isn't too bad but it's gonna be windy every day too and that makes the walk to/from work not so pleasant...

How do people actually get to you? Through government subsidized medical processes or anything insurance related?

Playing video games while driving is already illegal i'm assuming, since texting and driving is... What is stopping you from counseling someone who says that about video games? The fact that WHO doesn't have video gaming classified as a mental health issue and therefore isn't covered by...

My point is the WHO isn't trying to get television watching classified as a mental health issue or addiction and they shouldn't be trying to do it with video games (or maybe they are and I just haven't heard about it cause nobody linked an article here on it).

Ok so back to the original couple objections: In your opinion, why should video games be medically classified as a "mental health issue or addiction" but television or any of the other hobbies that people spend just as much time on shouldn't.

$20,400 a year is around what i've made working for the past 12 years of my life, give or take a few thousand. Maybe I really am stupid.

You assume she doesn't want to be in that situation because to you it seems ludicrous. Only that lady can know if she actually want to quit or not. You would call it excessive because he enjoys doing something and looks forward to it. Do you ever spend time waiting for something you want to...

Yes. How is that any different than running shaper/guardians/uber atziri over and over and over? I understand you make a profit. You also make a profit if you build a shaper farmer and just farm shaper repeatedly, especially if you sell the kills for achievements or as carries on other...

https://www.danya.com/dlc/bup/pdf/Dependence_DSM.PDF 5. A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain the substance What's the cut-off for a "great deal of time"? Is driving an hour each way to play at a golf course you like enough to classify it as an addiction? 6...

Sextant blocking, unless it's changed this league with the new atlas, doesn't really need to be changed. You have to spend a ton of currency constantly buying sextants so you can set up insane maps since you don't get anywhere near enough as drops on your own.

And almost all of them except actual withdrawal are completely arbitrary.

You got any research study links to showing actual physical addiction to video games and the resultant withdrawal symptoms?

Vladimir Poznyak, a member of the WHO’s Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse...“Health professionals need to recognise that gaming disorder may have serious health consequences,” he said. “Contrary to what was predicted, the study did not find a clear link between potential addiction...

It's a guy with 0 posts and bad english talking about what I am assuming is an RMT site, i'm pretty sure it's just a bot/slave.

On the forums most of them have a sticky post with build guides and a lot of them will say they are new player friendly if they are. Those ones usually have more in depth guides on how to level, why you do things, etc. Fun is completely subjective. Do you want to play melee, ranged, caster...

Mmm, was sitting on a 5aspd 15% dual wield crit multi jewel for a few days waiting to get a regal, got one tonight and regal'd 7% life. Nice little Christmas bonus.

Tried a white elder twice today, first one was decent but i ended up with way too much dot on the ground (like 90% of the map), second one was just retarded, got 1shot like 4 times, won't be bothering any more I think. Possibly less fun than shaper since at least with shaper you can tell wtf is...

Merry Christmas (even to Tanoomba)!

I still don't know why the Patriots wouldn't keep him to replace Brady when he retires.
