Not exactly, but from say age 15-25, I was very into fantasy football and pretty good at it, won a few drafts. But I guess I’ve always been that autistic faggot, reading up on meaningless averages, opponents, meme shit like playing at home vs away, snatching players who are about to come off injury, or holding the Seahawks defense for week 16 knowing they’ll BTFO the browns or whatever.

But now the same strategies come into stocks, buying dips, doubling down, holding til earnings, holding til post holidays. They’re all numbers.

I think I've done this same, but this is a good thing. Video games are a waste of time. They're designed to make money off you and waste hours of your precious life. They're childish, don't develop you in any way and are often filled with all sorts of propaganda. You've taken an important step to freeing yourself. You're at a point where you're not in the grip of a worthless and damaging addiction. The money addiction serves an obvious and important purpose - as long as you control your greed/fomo impulses, you may never have to work again - or at least for only a fraction of your lifetime. You are buying yourself time to do what you find fulfilling, to expand your mind, to experience higher pleasures. I wish you luck.
