It was weird at first uninstalling games from the computer. No one else around me thought it was strange to play these games.
Killing, control and dominance etc didn't make sense after I understood that love was the way to growth. Spending a couple of hours every day going on death defying missions and killing people didn't fit.
It was something I haven't looked back on. Instead I try to listen or read to try to understand more of Ra's / Q'uo's material ... maybe meditate.
Same here. I had issues with pride from being top five for years in SOF2. I got into COD4 which was fun, but as soon as there was a spark of spirit, I quit gaming cold turkey. It was a few months before I even noticed I had actually quit. The fun is still there, but for some reason the fun has no magnetism anymore.
10 years of rabid online gaming just up and vanished.
I had a similar experience with losing the lust to game. Played CS for years, was very competitive like yourself. Wanted to be the best in the world. Over time, I realized there's more enjoyable ways to spend a life.
Hardly game at all now. Kinda weird, considering that gaming was, in a way, all that I was.
