I Quit Video Games and Anime Permanently

4:16 PM (of Sunday, June 9th 2024)

Today is Saturday, June 8th 2024 and I quit both video games and anime permanently today. This is just a continuation from yesterday's activities and thought processes. Yesterday (Friday), I didn't consume any video games nor anime for the majority of the day until at night. I just had some anime in the background while I did the "dailies" for Waifu Zone Combat, the dailies are collecting the different gems, doing the different stages, doing lots of stuff. It honestly takes around 1 an hour to do all of the dailies, even just clicking through everything as fast as possible.

I'm rank 1 in server 1 of that game, the top player basically in the entire game. There are 6 servers now, and I'd actually consider myself rank 3 out of all the servers. There is a player in Server 2, and another player in Server 3, who came out of nowhere, and surpassed me. I'm not sure how they were able to do it, I was already at over 1 million power level, the first person in the entire game to achieve this feat, when they randomly came out of nowhere, and had 1.7 and 1.5 million power level respectively. I couldn't beat them in the arena. I now have 1.7 million power level, and they have 2.5 and 2.2 million respectively. But I'm still not sure how they were able to surpass me, as I'd been playing for a week or two before they even joined.

To be honest, it feels great to be rank 1 in the entirety of a video game. I thought everyone around me would quit since I dominated so much, and that ended up not being the case. I still actually haven't surpassed the Rank 1 person in Campaign, because of their 3 day head start in campaign. I have only been able to catch up to them literally just yesterday, when we reached the same exact level in campaign. Maybe I should actually just continue playing until I do surpass them? I am feeling a lot of regret and withdrawal symptoms after uninstalling Waifu Zone Combat today.

At around 4 PM, uninstalled Waifu Zone Combat, just outright, without signing out, without telling anyone. I still do feel some kind of regret, because I never surpassed the first place person in campaign. I could do that if I log in today and try and beat them. Okay, the pull is too strong. I think I'm going to do that.

Well I ended up doing that, installing the game again as I'm writing this entry the morning of the next day, in an attempt to get first place in campaign for once before quitting. Technically I'm tied with the first place person right now. It will take a few more days for me to surpass them. It also just feels good to be first place in this game, and I will always be first place as long as I keep playing. If I limit my time to just an hour a day, I think that could be acceptable. Maybe I will quit though once I actually do get first place in campaign? Though it will require daily signing on to maintain it.

Anyway, today I uninstalled Waifu Zone Combat, and then I went out to hang out with Eric, Strauss, and Eric's new girlfriend Acorn. We had this 5 minute hike somewhere, and had some acai after.

At home I didn't play any video games nor watched anime. I instead worked on writing a script for a new video idea, and then I voiced that script. I then downloaded some clips I could use for that video. Right now I'm kind of hesitant in continuing through with making this video, but I think I will. I think the video idea sucks, I think my voice sucks. I think my video will turn out terribly. But whatever, it's been a while since I made any videos, so I think I will get back to doing that again.

I might just rewrite the script from scratch, or do some improv. The video is about speedrunning and how I think it's one of the dumbest activities of all time. Though I get it, it's cool to beat a game super fast, but I just think it's one of the major wastes of time, doing a level over and over again, repeating the same thing over and over again, just to do it slightly faster and faster.

Anyway, that was my day today.
