So I'm moving out to a place without internet for 6 months. Normally I'm a hardcore gamer so it's going to be tough. What are your thoughts... Have you tried this and how successful were you? What are some tips etc.
I do have a smartphone with net, so i'm not completely cut off from the world, but its not the same.
Well... I've found that it's weird using a mouse and keyboard after several days of having not, even if you've been living with them daily for your entire life. So, 6 months will have you sitting back down and thinking "wtf is this shit? I can't... What am I doing here?"
build shit out of wood. birdhouses, tables, a TARDIS learn how to knit get a camera, go out & take photos of weird things single player games masturbate
definately dont buy a guitar, you are already suffering by not having internets, why make others around you suffer even more by having to listen to horrible janga jang sounds.
After using the internet for 2 or 3 years as a teen, I was totally addicted to it. I was also very productive and creative, building heaps of websites, lots of photoshopping, designing levels for games, and most of all I knew people from all over the world in chatrooms.
Going on a holiday or something would DRIVE ME NUTS!
Now I've been using for almost 20 years, I do fuck all on it, I don't talk to anybody, and I don't really care if I can get on or not, as long as I have something to pass the time.
The more the Internet has grown the less I find to do on it, and the fewer people I connect with, etc... Social media my arse aye.
How do you meet people on something like facebook? You can't, it's against facebook policy to add someone you don't already know in real life..... then what's the point, everyone I know in real life is no fun - that was one of the big pros of computers - a whole new world of people with interests in computers and games and adam sandler tapes. Now the same fucking dickheads from real life are on here - why bother having an internet?
I moved a few times and had trouble getting internet access so sometimes i'd have a 12 week wait. You'll seem bored at first but start taking up other stuff. Read some books, go outside and do some exercise. Get a dog and walk him. Be more productive with your time.
Life can be much more productive without internet access, if your the addict type.
great tips thx yeah guitar sounds good. Ive got Reason basically sitting on my PC doing nothing so should boot it up, plug in the guitar and learn something new. Gonna suck the first few weeks - the house is unfurnished so it'll basically be work, gym, sleep for the working week. Live for the weekend i guess.
