    I had to change my diet to purely swallowing peanuts with water. Then, I slowly reintroduced my typical diet of McDonald’s double cheese burgers, vodka, and energy drinks. Once I had a population of squirrels that could tolerate my pure excrement, things really took off. They started getting larger and mutating. I had to stop before they started raping all the dogs in the neighborhood. I spent nearly 2 months holed up in my attic with a pallet of MREs, 4 dozen handles of vodka, and 15,000 rounds of M855.

      I recently saw a documentary about addiction among youths, among others gaming addiction. Unfortunately, shit like this is real — pun intended.

        If this is solely a gaming addiction then this is their equivalent of a straight man marrying Joe Exotic for meth. This likely would have other compounding factors. This is the sort of shit that people who are in solitary confinement pull to try to have some minute form of control over their environment. It’s bleak as all hell before you take into consideration that this person seems to have believed 4chan about it and then went back to them for comfort while they laugh.

        I really want to believe that it’s not true, but fucking hell yeah I know that 4chan attracts a certain sort of mentally unwell and mentally disabled people and just demolishes any chance for them to be happy and somewhat well adjusted. It’s like an AA branch that starts meetings with a round or five of shots

          Of course. I’d say I have a mild addiction to gaming, yet I am not out here throwing literal shit in my attic. I just like to game a little more than I should, probably.

          It’s like this for most addictions though. A lot of people have sinilar levels of addiction, for some it just compounds with other mental health problems.

    It’s like the “recharge your phone in the microwave” meme but for NEET losers who are either pathologically lazy or terrified of the possibility of seeing their reflection in the bathroom mirror.
