How do you get excited camping the same things over again for days on end?
Clearly you have never strolled into a nightclub full of beautiful young ladies, shouted "Whaddup?! I got four manastones!", and heard all the splooshing from wet panties dropping on the floor.

Its because video games = fake accomplishments.

Human brain likes accomplishments and when you are a loser in real life whose brain suffers from lack of achievement you go and seek dopamine rewards in games.

Simple really

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Or it just likes accomplishments in general and has nothing to do with the state of your real life.

Lol.

I get the addiction piece. I was definitely addicted back in the live days, and would feel the effects of a withdrawal even going a few days off the game. I’ve gotten addicted to other games since then too; I feel like certain personality’s lend themselves to a higher propensity towards addiction than others. Either nature, nurture, or some combination therein. I just know I have to really control myself playing certain games, or it could be easy to fall back down the rabbit hole. The dopamine cycle is very real.

When I read about some of these 4 day 100+ hour Manastone runs, I’m cringing inside. Reminds me of these kinds of stories:
