I suddenly feel good about my gaming times
There's always someone out there who makes people like us feel better, huh?
DUDE SAME
Sean Ashmead I’m pretty sure that’s what he’s implying
I hate those people who think every gamer out there is like this one kid, and use his example to judge every person out there who plays games.
THE TRILK this is why gamers need to rise up
There's a ton of trash out in the multiplayer sphere, but I feel like single player gaming is at its finest right now. There's so many games I'm absolutely hooked to.
@Leonardo Hernandez Jimmy Dean Jimbo S ame here.
Wtf
Yeah I only could casually game nowadays because of 'responsibilities'
This is beyond addiction. This kid has problems. I'm obsessed with games and tech in general, but I atleast go to work. I had my head buried in my ds as a kid but I still looked up to talk to my parents (or who ever talked to me). I put the damn thing down when my mom put a plate of food in front of me. My family didn't teach me to put it down, i knew enough that life was more important than a high score.
I too have a social life, and real life friends.
Peter Gebhardt you don't fully get it because when you're playing an mmo/rpg you don't wanna stop because there's alot of things to do you want have done as quick as possible. Not that i could play longer than 3 hours straight
That is true i did too i thought i was addict to socom back on ps2 days when i was a teen this kid takes it to a whole another level.
@@DolphR I was very into MMORPGs at that age, I had ridiculously long sessions but I still would give my parents my attention and respect, I would also take well enough care of my body. What he's doing is absolutely unacceptable.
@@mentalpopcorn2304 i was not saying it was acceptable i was just saying i get his long gaming sessions but he's taking it too far...
Huh guess that South Park episode was no joke after all...
Most jokes about PC and IT is true
Mommmmmm bathroommmm
Oh, god. South Park predicted it when the kids were playing World of Warcraft together.
LIVE TO WIN!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing.
they did not predict it was common back then too.
"MOM! MORE HOTPOCKETS!"
Eric:MOOOOOM BOWL!!!!
Mom: That's my good boy.
Be a parent. Drag your kid outta there. Stop enabling the kid!
Yeeeees
And if he starts screaming for you to let him back there, just slap his tears off his face.
He has needed a little physical discipline as growing up
At this point his addiction may cause him to go extremely violent. He legit needs professional care
Your right, he may actually need professional help. I hope other parents watch this and realize they have the power to pull the cord outta the computer or modem if needed so these kids can take a break from there battle royals. I personally have no problem shutting the internet off when my kids get to involved in there games and they cant even come to the dinner table without an attitude.
I play video games for 2-3 hours a day. But I work as a piano teacher/music teacher for 4-6 hours a day.
Video games is my escape and helps me relax...
2-3 isnt that much man
At age 13 Jesus take him home your the parent
Just delete his account and lock him in his room
Don't do that cause than he'll murder the family
Wow, those comments are scarier than the kids addiction.
You have to cold turkey him
No seriously a kid this addicted, deleting his work like that he will snap and either hurt himself or someone around him. I cant see him just crying and locking himself in his room when he spends 2 days playing straight for however long he has been and that all gets erased.
Justin Y has the same thing but it’s TH-cam
Oof
This comment tho
yea he is the gay ninja
Yeah he's a complete loser.
bill cipher I thought that black spot on your profile picture was X-025
That’s enough ace combat 7 for today.

Atomizor seriously though about that as an option
Send her to the ranch

Send her to the ranch
that could work send him/her with specialist
The longest I can stand playing is like, 9 hours. Any more than that and I start getting extremely uncomfortable.
9 hours is still an insanely long time to game.
My Record is like, 4-5 Hours
Now that I'm 24 the longest I can play is 4 hours after that I get dizzy.
My record was closer to 24 hours but I still used the bathroom and ate so I suppose it's a bit different. I was around his age at the time
"extremely" That seems like a problem. You should limit it to six or less if it makes you *extremely* uncomfortable. That's not good for you and I doubt you're enjoying the game by that point.
Me: Plays 2 hours a day 3 times a week
My parents: You're addicted to games
Me: *Shows them this *
Definitely show them this
@S_ Hussain4646 ikr.
If you spend 8 hours a day on a PC doing different things, and only a few hours gaming, you actually aren't addicted to any of it at all... It just means you are killing time and boredom.
I mean would it be considered gaming if all you do is spend 4 hours in a video game each day and the total time spent in the game is 1/4th chatting online with other players or on forums?
@T SexyRexy *your parents after watching the video*
See this is what will happen to you if you continue playing games
If you got normal parents that would backfire so hard. If they seen what "it can lead to" you would get no gaming time till 18 xD
Imagine carrying a child for nine months and then all your kid just does is play games.
GenosectKingRevived it’s not just the kid, I’d say if you let your kid do this then you’ve failed as a parent.
Jonus Aguilar I should have specified.

If he has a mental condition, her being a mother would be taking care of him so he doesn't starve. Theres no other way right now. He needs a therapist. Something to help him pull away. "Being a parent" doesnt always mean "it not going my way, force it".

This is insane. Even streamers that do very long sessions (like long speed runs or games like HOI4 that take awhile) take breaks from time to time. I love games and all, but I know that they're not my entire life!

and even then it's not back to back sessions and If they are It's Planned out before hand. and like you said..with Breaks in it.
The Longest gaming session i ever played was a 4 player COOP Achievement Hunting in GoW3. We started around 8am and it didn't end until 2am the next morning. Of course we all took food breaks and the such and the only regret i have is that the 4th player was our friends sister who we never played with before. At the least I commend her fortitude for sticking with us even tho she had no reason to ever participate in what was the most brutal session we ever done.
This sounds like an article from the Onion
It sounds like a fabrication by the MSM.
The mom can't stop him from going to the cafe??? Isn't she a parent ???
don't thing the she is a parent card would help for one she is dealing with a 13 year old kid who may or may not be disobedient and two a 13 year old kid who is addicted to video games
@@anthonymacgregor9790 I don't think that's game addiction, looks like a projection of his stress into gaming. Someone wouldn't play games for 48 hours straight that easily, even games becomes boring at that point. You need a keen mind to enjoy and focus on games, unless you are playing a game with a movie like setting and is spending more time watching than playing.
Because the moment gaming becomes a chore and grinding for Exp is a form of working, it's not even game addiction anymore, more like slave labouring.
I'm making connections to slavery, because of the victim's state of mind.
A slave doesn't think, he does what he is told or is following. A gamer is a critical thinker, will create goals and strategize to accomplish them in video games... A slave would plow through the game blindly.
They need to put passwords on the computers and you have to pay "x" amount for "x" amount of hours. That will straighten him up.

Rules of Survival is just an rip-off of P.U.B.G...
I can already see those headlines: "A CHILD KILLED HIS WHOLE FAMILY AFTER PLAYING FORTNITE FOR 48 HOURS STRAIGHT"
The media likes to dramatize everything, always saying that video games are evil. I have played video games for 21 years. Yep, I was 6 years old when I started. First game I played was a Mario game. I am now 27. With years of experience, I would like to point out some words of wisdom, as well as personal experience, to all fellow gamers gathered here. It is not the video game that is bad. It is the person who plays it. It's like the difference between a gun and the person carrying it. The computer or console is just a machine. It's a tool. It has no consciousness, no motive, and no personality like humans do. More importantly, it does not have free will nor make the same choices as humans do. In truth, to prevent oneself from becoming obsessed requires a disciplined mind. Trust me. Take these words under advisement, and they will one day save your life. I was once an addict, and it was a terrifying experience. I know. If you have family members who are addicts, I suggest you give them the same advice.

And the cafe just allows this? That’s messed up.
Hey make money at the end of the day they don’t care
They should put some rules on those internet cafe shops because there is been cases where they do die, maybe close at certain hours or allow maximum hours per person.
They tried passing that in China & Korea a limit to how many hours a child can spend online but it turned into a political nightmare
Survival of the fittest, brother. Let the weak and retarded weed themselves out.
Here is an idea. Be a parent.

Eville Caston he’s literally addicted it’s way past his mom’s reach at this point. he needs professional help otherwise he will implode if any rash decisions are made.
As the other guy said, its beyond her at this point. If she didn't do what she was doing now he'd die starve himself to death. He needs to be in a hospital, and once out, needs to be banned from internet cafes, especially this one

Oh don't be a fucking moron. Doing stupid dances as a kid is just what being a kid is. 48 hour gaming sessions is literally life threatening. Stop being one of those annoying kids who hates on games just because you don't personally like it.

@@Sakura-dk1ru I don't think not caring is the problem here she obviously cares if she feeds him probably just to soft to actually tell him no
Originally yes but at this point it's an addiction. She should have and could have nipped this in the bud before it became such a problem but at this point cold Turkey might do more harm to him then letting him continue to game. He needs professional help and needs to be weened off of it slowly.
Poor parenting, as parents it is essential to guide your children.
If i played a game for 48 hours straight i feel like that game would be all i see whenever i close my eyes for the rest of my life, that’s just too much time away from the real world

I myself, I play video games at least twice a day. Once in the morning after I'm done working out and then once right after lunch. I want to do it, but that's not why I do it. I do it because I need to.
Dingdongpo 8 plus hours a day on a slow day for me. This is just boring. The lack of playing games makes them even better when you get to rather then 40 hours straight.
Yes, you need 11 days to worthy Fox news. They should take this guy to the hospital, he needs it.
@@skidzzthewiz9226 So what you're saying is if you set aside time to do other things in a day rather than play games for the whole time, then you'll be more excited for them and in turn enjoy them more?
48 hours, I get mentally tired in 3-4 hours of raiding in WoW (yes it's the only thing I still enjoy about the game and this used to be 5 hours). Even in my teens I got tired with 8 hours tops, could hold out for 10 but then would just go to sleep during vacations. 48 hours... HOW?! I'm still not 30 but I already can't last the 7-8 hours I used too.
Man this story was a bummer to hear about but you talking about the good ol days off gaming sessions was awesome to hear. I've been a depressed mess lately and remembering the "good ol days" just brought a smille to my face. Thank you for making the content you upload.
Sadly for the kid all his grinding and insane gaming session can all be obtained by a cash whale with a single click... The cafe should have limitations as to how long you can rent a PC at the time without being forced to take a break, that would help to some degree.
Or maybe having a half-decent parent could help ya know

Honestly I've seen worse cases of videogame addiction and in most of them what ends up happening is the moment they stand up from the computer they have a heart attack Because sitting at the chaor for so long causes blood clots in their knees so when they go to stand up and bend their knees it triggers a heart attack. Dont get me wrong. I love video games. I've played video games for 17 years now and I dont plan on taking them out of my life any time soon. However the idea of sitting for 48 hours straight and playing a game in a public space is completely foreign to me. I probably dont even get close to 48 hours of gaming in an entire week on average. I love video games and 99% of the time when I see videogames talked about negatively in the media I call out them out on their propaganda bullshit , but this is a REAL problem and I hope he gets the help he needs
This is not the worst case. There are some who die from lack of sleep.
peoples skin become sickly from vitamin d deficiency. loss in bone density and muscle mass. carpel tunnel from repeated motion destroys their hands. posture is sure to be out of whack as well, so add spine trouble and neck pain to the list. i wouldnt be surprised if this is how scurvy has a resurgance

@Kira Duwang Yoshikage gaming for this long in a row has pretty much the same effect as smoking
Ikr, it's literally painful and tired after a few hours.
I'm a parent, and while it's something that's hard to do, you gotta say NO on occasion. This is bad parenting plain and simple. literally anything can be an addiction just like Rich said. Some will say, "Well at least she cares enough to feed the kid". It's called dragging that kid outta there with an epic temper-tantrum, bring him to a doctor to be checked out, and then maybe i'll think she gives a damn.
*I'd unplug his PC and upload the reaction on TH-cam....*
That would be so funny yet terrifying at the same time.
Forced him to go outside, limit his gaming time; be a parent. This is a form of neglect , make him have more social time ;so he doesn't grow up socially awkward.
Exactly, the child doesnt know he is doing anything wrong because his behaviour is condoned by the mother.
@@cataclystp yeah, part of growing up is taking responsibility. The child isn't realizing, what he's doing is a problem; cuz no one is pointing it out to him. Usually with any addiction, the person doesn't see that they have a problem; until somebody that cares about them does an. Then they see it.
This makes those Chinese rehab boot camps sound like a good idea.
Dude is gonna drop dead in one of his gaming sessions...
sad thing is you are probably right unless he gets help
I play video games alot. Sometimes I go for like from like 9 am to 8 pm WITH BREAKS like go get a snack use bathroom etc. Get a drink. But 48 hours at a time? that isn't good. Also 6 cups of coffee? damn I usually limit myself to 2 max.
Right I've gone for as long as 25-30 hours when I was younger but I couldn't even fathom doing that without bathroom and food breaks. That just sounds miserable
His mother must be really wise not to pull him from the pc. He is so damn obsessed he would surely kill her if she would have done that.
That's the opposite of being wise. If she was wise she would never have let her kid get addicted to begin with. Enabling his addiction is basically child abuse. I'd pull him away from that computer immediately and wouldn't let him play again until he learned to live without it.
Worst part about this comment is, it's more or less happened before.
Peace M8 ツ I thought he was malnourished.
She probably thinks it's like the Matrix where if you pull him away he'll die in real life.
Lmao bruh I was imagining him turning into a rabid beast if someone tried to take him away

I've done gaming sessions for one or two days at a time, but I plan ahead for them. I take vacation time, I stop for food/bathing/bathroom, and my binges are purely for specific games for a specified period. I gave those binges up when I had a kid but they were something I did so rarely it was once every five years or so. Mostly when a new Zelda game came out.
So even binging itself isn't inherently bad, but just have the ability to control yourself. The danger is when you can't stop or refuse to stop when something you enjoy is harming you.
you say you did it as a kid but you took vacation time to do it? last i checked kids cant just take vacation time.
@@joshbrucks learn to read. When I HAD a kid, as in became a parent. I can't do all day gaming anymore. Maybe when the kid is 18.
MMO and Battle Royale and most multiplayer and mobile games are cancer. What ever happened to single player games that offer enriching and valuable life experience? What ever happened to imagination? Games are no longer art, they are cashgrabs and require people to be addicted on order to make profit. Disgusting.
Edit: What I failed to express in my original comment was that, all these battle Royales and mmo's take most of the spotlight; they become trends, people hop onto these trends then they can't escape. They're left to endlessly play games that dont give any valuable experience, only temporary rushes of dopamine.
I made it seem as if I think single players games don't exist, which I know isn't the case, far from it. So everyone please excuse me for that. The problem isn't the lack of single players, it's the battle Royales and MMOs taking the spotlight and getting everyone addicted.

The balance between work & play needs to be comprehensible to all people that dwell in the realm of fantasy and reality if fail to comprehend will result in an enigma state of mine
the problem is not games. the problem lies somewere else, gaming is just the symptom of that underlying problem.
i have a kid that has aspergers and he only has one or two things that he likes to do it, he just focus really hard on those two things, everything else is a problem for him, he is 7 now and as been in therapy for the last 2 years, he is much better now because of the therapy, not because of me, because i didnt knew how to deal with it., so i kinda understand gaming addiction and the struggles that the mother must be facing. Its real easy to critique others when we have a perfect life where the main problem is to choose between Samsung phones or iphones, how can you all relate to someone that may very well has some autism problem ?
I had do endure estupid ppl judging me because of my kid "anti-social" behavior,
Judging someone just by seeing some video is usually a sign of stupidity, but hey internet is a perfect medium for stupid ppl to share ideas.
I repeat, the problem is not gaming.
That's all well and good, but it's a whole different story when someone is literally putting their life at risk for their addiction.
Being judged for being antisocial is wrong, but you deserve judgement no matter who you are if you're putting your life at risk just for an addiction.
These are two completely different circumstances.
If your kid was gaming this long and putting their life at risk would you be just fine with it? Saying they need it? I'd rather my kid have to deal with a little bit of personal problems rather than dying, but maybe I don't know a thing about parenting or preserving precious life.
The fact is you're defending these people which makes it seem like if your kid died for a reason like this, your outlook would be "at least they were happy doing it" which isn't okay. That's so many years of life gone because someone decided to not do their job and be the parent.
"Internet is a perfect medium for stupid ppl to share ideas" you're right here with us watching that video. I don't accept the fact that you think I'm stupid, but you also called yourself stupid based on that sentence which I wouldn't hesitate to agree with
@@mentalpopcorn2304 "but you deserve judgement no matter who you are if you're putting your life at risk just for an addiction. " Instead of engaging in "critique" you can always try to help. Im not defending the mother, im just saying that shes is doing her best, its not the perfect way to deal with it, but she is doing her best. Maybe instead of the whole hate group mocking her they should try to engage in positive ideais and try to help help. I made some mistakes with my kid, some huge miskates, it took outside help for me to be able to learn, for me it was easy to find that outside help because in my country, the city were i live, its easy to get that kind of help. but in the whole world there are places that dont have that kind of help. Its easy to educate a kid that fits real within "normal" parameters. Usually theres alot of small steps, tiny steps, we dont even realise those tiny changes, and we just go along for the ride not realising that our perception of the reality is changing. That mother (and im just guessing here) maybe would have never thought that she was going to do that for her kid, but those tiny changes lead her to have another view of reality around her, now instead of the hate gang mindset the ppl around her should "shake" her world so that she could step out of that vicious loop. That video could very well be me, but it took an outside "force" to force me to step out of the loop. Addictions, mental problems, are not easy to deal with it, its easy for an outside person just to judge. Im not english so its not easy to try and put it in words what i really want to say, im not saying thats a good thing she is doing, but its all she "can" do at the moment with that mindsite she has. Instead of hate ppl should try to be more understanding and give an helping hand.
I remember hearing a story along time ago i think 12 years ago about a Chinese dude who sat at an internet cafe for 3 days and he died while gaming when one random person went to check on him because he looked dizzy as soon as he/she touched him he collapsed on the floor and died just like that
I think it was league of legends
Just drag the kid out of there 6:58 duh of course thats what any smart parent would do. She's just making it worse
I know that women needs to be a fucking parent but instead she helps him indulge in his 48h sessions.
Watch out, you may hurt him, because he will struggle and don't want to give up EXP.
But of course, that mother wouldn't drag him out of there because she basically lost all faith in her son.
@@michalander2131 Or he's really big. either way, she CAN'T drag him out.
If i was that father of him.....Id would ban him from going to these CAFEs.... and ill force him to do Garden work instead. And just not have eletronic at the house... keep him busy enough to not want to go Cafe... and get friends involve and get them to not let him go to Cafe like these.
It is hard for me to play for 2 hours
I play like 3 hours a day but no matter what I stop if my mom wants to watch TV or if my mom calls me to go eat I'll go right away or wait for the round to end but not evening chewing food is stupid
It's hard to me too sometimes.
Cuz you are old
Me too lol
Nah not for me anymore with Apex legends. When I have the time, I can play 6 hours pretty easy.
Ghost in the Shell literally predicted the future
Cyberpunk is based on possible futures. Mechanical limbs are steadily becoming reality. So are wet-wired computers.
@@funkyweapon1981 I was more referring to the technology addiction but yeah, in more ways than one 🙂
I'm addicted to you Rich, just tube feeding myself at this point.
Dang, not an epic gamer moment
Did I just see a flying pickle?!!!!
*Cucumber
No, you saw a flying cucumber.
Keep an eye out for the golden one. 😉
@@Gestersmek Pickles are cucumbers. Pickled ones, strangely enough.
@@JLConawayII Made from cucumbers and being a cucumber are two different things.
Dude, I'm addicted to your podcasts.
Imma sub. This guy is funny af! Thanks for the laugh. The asmr joke got me lol
I’ve played for like 20 hours or so. But the next day or two I was burnt out. I ended up fishing for a few months lol. I don’t play longer than a few hours. It burns me out so fast.
Those close ups made me sit a bit farther from my monitor.
I'm 35 and when I was 14-16 used to play football all saturday and then from 18-21hs PS1 (Winning Eleven 5) with friends. We loved videogames but we always did sports. Today kids spent all day inside their homes and this is the result. But I blame the parents.
I just hung out with my friends and did stuff. Some of that stuff might have been destructive, but still.
Great final commentary. Cheers.
Lmao the coffee asmr part.
It’s the Amazing world of Gumball all over again
Thumbs up for the cucumber that flew right by Rich’s head at the beginning
I wonder who is paying that cafe
You said he’s 13? How does he get the money to do this? Maybe there is something I don’t understand about the culture, but it sounds like there is at least a little bit of enablement going on. If this was me, my parents would’ve locked me in my room for however long it took to break the addiction.
I think he does competive gaming
@@keenanbrodey4101 I'm pretty sure this kid actually saves up money from his daily school allowance cuz that's the way it usually works around in this country (Philippines)
EAT!?!? IVE GOT CHICKEN DINNERS MOM 😡
*SEND HIM TO THE RANCH DOCTOR PHIL*
@Seraphi Grimaldi LOL
I work with kids in a group home, I worked with a youth once who was so addicted to his cellphone, he acted as an amputee. When asked to do things that required two hands, he would request assistance for anything that would require a second hand. Such as putting his dishes away, she would grab his dishes, walk up to the drawers and call a staff member into the room to Upen the cupboard for him so he could put his dishes away. Youth that have this level of disconnect are usually using it as an escape, but it can be a hugely difficult thing to relate to at times.
Someone needs to make a Richie Castlevania mention montage
I play over 3 hours and i have to get off its just too much time. I would need a break. I cant go longer if i do i hate it
Same here 2 hours feels like alot for me.
If I'm playing by myself I can play for at least a little over 3 hours. I can play up to 6 hours if I'm playing with friends but I perfer to play when the sun is down.
FairyGardens TV now that I'm in my20s I feel the same. I used to play for hours on end during school. I once played Skyrim on my 360 for over 10 hours to the point where my room got too hot with the fan on high and window open that my dad unplugged it so I would stop. Now I playgames a hour or two a day. I find more joy in home theatre now.
Not to mention the pain. I HAVE to get up.
I get high af and could game all day the other day i did acid and got hooked playing smash bros all day lol
What if you’re addicted to addiction?
I don't know Mr perfectly sliced egg,some people are addicted to to biting nails,some are addicted to eating bed's. Some are addicted to chewing gum, some are addicted to perfectly slicing eggs
Oof
The longest I've ever played without moving is six hours. When Morrowind came out for the Xbox. Good times.
4 hrs for me.
Amlin Baynard 3 years ago I spent 5 straight hours playing nothing but tony hawks pro skater 3 one day. Didn’t do it again but I don’t regret it.
ive put in 12+ hours in a day before but never without breaks for food bathroom or even to just stretch my legs.
2 seconds
u r correct im 41 n when i waz growing up i loved video games but my curfew waz when the street lights came on. so i would play outside until curfew then i would play games
We need a Phillipines Dr. Phil.
That or pull the plug and take out the batteries on every game console and computer he touches.
Imagine playing so much and still being so bad.
That's happened to me. I gave up.
Addiction is a scary thing.
People can get addicted to anything to a variety of degrees.
This case is one of those outlier, extreme situations where a young teenager is addicted to gaming to the point where he won't even get up to go to the bathroom because he plays literally for 48 hours ... This is not _normal_ by any means; even by addict standards.
What's worse is that I feel like the mother and grandmother are enabling this behavior by looking after the kid with food and vitamins.
We don't know why the kid ended up like this and why the mother and grandmother allows this behavior and feeds the kid.
But I would say that this kid definitely needs to be disciplined and educated.
He needs to be taught that gaming is fine and all, but he should *at least* get up and go the bathroom, go take breaks to eat, and walk around.
This kid clearly doesn't realize how dangerous it is to not go to the bathroom for 48 hours (dang that's crazy) let alone getting up to eat.
He needs to be told that he can literally die if he keeps this up.
That just breaks my heart, I understand the mother, it must break her heart to see her kid sitting there playing games for 2 days straight, having to feed him, etc. It is sad for the kid too, he must have a reason to be doing this and this whole situation is just one big kick to the feels.
Simple, keep him from accessing the internet and maybe even technology as it.
Carlito Marvel? Playing video games is his super power.
He sounds like a wrestler.
This just goes to show that video game addictions are not just a First World Problem...
The Phillipines is Third World, isn't it? My sympathy to the mom.
It is actually likely to be worse in developing countries. Newer reaserch shows that addiction is usually based on quality of life.
Like that South Park World of Warcraft episode. Cartmans mom comes in with the toilet pan .. That's a good boy poopsiekins! :)
This is very embarrassing for The Gaming Community
wow if this is a "community".. more like GAYMING community XD
This is very embarrassing for parenthood community.
Spartacus115 can’t wait for the news to use this to prove video games are evil
"EPIC GAYMER COMMUNITY" "GAYMERS RISE UP"
@@Zontar82
I'm guessing you are part of the anti-gaming community.
man, i thought my day was unhealthly with the many hours i spend playing minecraft, terraria, romhacks and doom wads and then drawing digital furry art and watching random youtube videos and chatting on discord and listening to vaporwave, synthwave and japanese city pop
but then again i also have times were i randomly pace back and forth for like a hour in backyard thinking of fantastical ideas
so i must be getting excerise...
and i fall asleep listening to vaporwave music in bed so im getting sleep
and i eat, drink tea, shower, and take bathroom breaks
maybe im ok then?
Well as long you get up and get your body moving then you should be fine. I spend maybe a little over 5+ hours playing my games almost every day and still I get up and walked around the park, it's not that far and there are some activities going on there least once a month!
Japanese City pop and furry drawing....wow... I'd rather stab myself in the eye lol
@@Sir_Catnip Or he can killed a bunch of people in the streets for no reason at all. Take your poison.
No, you’re not okay. You draw Furry art.
Mystic System thank you for your comment. I had never heard of vaporwave yet and you just introduced me to this genre of music. Thank you so much
I was in the Navy in the early 90's the ship i was stationed on went to the Philippines. There is a lot of poverty there and the Subic Bay Naval base was closed so i really can't see the economic situation getting much better since then. So i can only imagine the desire/compulsion to escape reality into a game under those conditions would become an addiction very easily.
I'm addicted to Rich rubbing that mug on his beard!
I'm 49 years old and the game that got me and my friends was Ultima II. We stayed up all night on weekends building up our characters and trying to discover the next secret in the game. Ah, simpler times.
I feel so bad for the mother.
I pray that she finds a solution. I will commend her for being a mother, going out to feed her addicted son.
Now im curious to what attempts she has done to stop her son from being this way. I'm sure shes tried to not allow him to go out to these cafes.
All in all, it is truly fascinating how most these things happen in Asian countries (Video game addictions) I REALLY would love a study or documentary on this. People need help. Let's pray it happens.
poor mother?! poor kid for having a mother that doesn't set boundaries for the kid, he will grow up like this and end up hating her if she lets this continue.
Pray?
Yeah. That'll help.
Sadly, many asian countries don't take mental health seriously. It's why Japan has issues like extreme shutins and people working themselves to death in higher numbers than any western nation.
@@joppekim just take away the game system and tell the son to live life, he will be able to play again when he get his life back on track
@@RhythmGrizz Because he can do so much else lmao
I've had an addiction to Skyrim years ago. Luckily at the time I had no job and was living with my parents. For two whole months, I woke up at 6am and play until 2am, only leaving to at and go to the bathroom - eating only pizza pockets and 7up. What got me off of that game was due to a bug that would have caused me to start at a point where I didn't have all my awesome loot that I got in the 200+ hours I spent. But hearing something like this is scary.
I would have told the cafe to not allow the kid to play anymore, or at least give him a limited amount of time to play. Sure he might get upset and pull a tantrum, or even get violent, but at least it would limit him. I seriously doubt a cafe would want to be held responsible if one of their customers fell over due to mal-nourishment/exhaustion. And if he did become violent, then the police would get involved and get him the help he needs. Worse case, he just moves onto another cafe.
This kid would make Mike Teavee from Willy Wonka blush. Damn!
