What games were yall stuck into at your peak of gaming? and what made yall want to change for the better and give up the gamer life? 🧐🧐

Hello, hello! My name is Cole Eubanks, and I'm an Audiobook Narrator, avid reader, martial arts enthusiast, and yes - an avid gamer. Video games, like anything, can be a beautiful thing - an expression of the arts and myriad media crafts that go into their creation - but also like anything they can become detrimental if they aren't enjoyed in moderation. Everyone is different, with different susceptibilities towards addiction, and moderation can look just as varied. Different metrics for different people. That said, we all have one thing in common in that arena: too much is too much, whatever that looks like. And being out of control, or struggling to do other positive or necessary things because of something you enjoy can change gaming into something that can be good into something debilitating and antagonistic. I look forward to pursuing balance for one of my favorite hobbies; to having more control over myself in this way, so that I can enjoy gaming responsibly while still optimizing (I'm an optimizer, to the surprise of no one who knows me) and enjoying the other good things in my life! I love the look and feel of this program, and am genuinely excited to see what it can do for me! It's a pleasure to meet you all. Let's do this! -Cole

Hey hey, heroes! Every boss eventually gets a walkthrough. Three of the peskiest just got theirs. The first Quit Your Game guides are live in the Loot Chest — no willpower lectures, just step-by-step walkthroughs for logging out of the games that are hardest to log out of: - Clash of Clans - Fortnite - Genshin Impact Each one lays out the exact hooks that game uses to keep you logged in, the move-by-move exit (what to do with your account, your clan, your squad), and what the first 14 days actually feel like — so nothing catches you off guard. I started here because these are three of the games people struggle with quitting the most (and blow the most money on). If one of them has been quietly running your calendar, go crack it open. Then help me pick the next target in the poll below!

Happy Monday, Heroes! Welcome to a new week. New goals, new challenges, new victories lie ahead. Let's keep this one simple: What's one goal you have for this week? One thing that, if nothing else goes according to plan, you're committing to getting done by the end of the day on Sunday? Drop it on the comments below! I'll go first.

Hey Heroes! I don't know about all of you, but this week felt like it flew by. Between birthday festivities for my partner, a crazy work schedule, and the all-hands-on-deck chaos that's come from launching Respec, I genuinely don't know where the hours went. I think (hope?) at least a few of them went to resting. And so, amidst all of that, I'm taking a little end-of-week pause to reflect on what's passed, and prepare for what's to come. Inviting all of you along with me! Here are a couple of questions for you: What's something you're proud of from the past week? And what's something you're looking forward to next week? I'll go first in the comments!
