[quote]No other video game has consumed so much of my life like Destiny has.[/quote] So, not just in game time played, but it consumes your thoughts as well? It influences you when you should be focused on other things in life? I think you already have an answer for yourself--if you recognize it's that much of a problem get rid of it. [quote]I have this weird philosophy that you should never get rid of proof of labor.[/quote] What proof of labor are you talking about? I mean, if you were to spend 23 days working on developing your talents, skills, and abilities you would have proof of labor. If you were to spend 23 days giving service you would have proof of labor. If you were to spend 23 days really working at your career or school you would have proof of labor. Giving the same amount of effort to your family and other relationships, there would be evidence of your labor. So, what does our labor in a digital world really give us? [quote]I've been trying to fill in the gap by playing other video games, but I have nothing new to play, and other games just aren't keeping me quite as entertained....i've got very little to occupy my free time other than Destiny.[/quote] Fill in the gap with hobbies or interests unrelated to video games. Develop your skills and abilities. Read. Study. Learn something new. Spend time with friends and family. Develop relationships. Give service. Volunteer.
