The fear of missing out is something that used to worry me. Having been an avid proponant of the good videogames can do and having spent obscene amounts of time on them and basing almost my entire social life around them, it was not easy for me to quit.
So I didn't technically quit exactly. My full new year's resolution was to "quit watching tv and movies, and quit playing videogames, until improving my life considerably." It's easier to say it the way I did in my previous comment.
This way, it's not so much that I actually quit for all time, it's that I've stopped temporarily to focus on learning and self improvement, hoping I will be able to change my circumstances for the better and live a more stable life before going back to gaming as a sort of reward.
i'm glad i got ram when i did. i picked up 128gb about a year and a half ago. cost me $535.98. right now on amazon the exact same amount is $2159.98. it felt like i was going unnecessarily overboard at the time but i was trying to future proof and for once had the money. i always feel like i'm missing out on deals usually and it finally feels like i got a win, even if it is only because of corporate greed.
