Gaming is a better cope than internet or porn

[deathcomesquickly]

If you have to cope in some way, I actually think gaming is better than surfing the internet or porn.
1) the internet is just a vast database of useless information; a celebrity opinion, a random person making a blog, a journalist or writer telling you what to think, another picture you don't need to see, a video you don't need to watch; although the internet can be useful, as a cope (spending your life surfing the internet) it is remarkably bad
2) porn is watching other people have sex; a horrible cope as incel, because they are shoving it in your face and there's nothing you can do; and then the websites and algorithms are designed to get you clicking and clicking on endless new panels showing a new scene

Gaming, on the other hand, you are part of an adventure; you are actively involved; it is simulating to the mind; you can lose yourself in it

I think quitting all of them is best, but if you have to cope, gaming is better; try shitfting your mind away from the internet and porn, to gaming, and that buys you more time and gets you involved in something that at least doesn't destroy your mind, and can be fun, involving, and give you some form of interactive entertainment that lets you have varied experiences

You can use the internet for anything, good or bad. Most people use it for bad and using it for the bad is encouraged (ShitTok, Instagram etc.)
I've lost my appetite for gaming for a long time even though I was a huge fan of games when I was a kid and even owned a collection of handheld and home consoles. If you like it, it can be stimulating indeed but if you don't like it it just feels like clicking on the mouse and pressing buttons on the keyboard until you achieve something (also depends on the game)

I like to musicinstrumentmaxxing as of late

Everything has time and place. Too much of anything will be bad for you

Trucels have crippling vidya addictions because the enjoyment of videogames goes deeper than just pressing a couple of buttons and call it stimulation like how normies do. That gorgeous sensation you get, that feeling of being in full control of how things pan themselves out for the first time in your life, and that all ground is equal provided you’re willing to put in the effort is an incel’s wet dream because of just how disparate it is when being compared to our real lives (hard work is never guaranteed and more often than not, pointless), so games end up being escapism and the most pure form of fun there is for us, because victory is guaranteed, and victory is in your control.

Plus, it was a nerd hobby, and most incels were bullied outcasts, hence we are deeply passionate about them. Only in the past decade have normies begun to invade it, thanks to nerd culture going mainstream.
