Feeling the painI like this thread...it makes me feel...so.....comfy and warm to know I'm not alone in my addiction....'Freak' my wife calls me! .... no understanding at all you know

I know why it is I loved this game (and hence the addiction) back in the day - and still do. As a paper and pencil RPGer (still am, eagerly awaiting my physical copy of Elite RPG), it was one of the only games I remember that made it feel like an RPG - due to its sandbox nature. I played a 'clean' pilot and NEVER picked up cargo from defending myself from the blown-up ships, and never attacked traders.

Sure, I've got other games I play, I mean, ED in Oculus isn't the same as SteamVR is it... I don't have a problem, I can walk away any time I like.
Now, if I go back to Synuefe NL-N C23-4 another couple of times I'll have enough in my alt for all the modules... I'll go steam again...
See, no problem at all, at all....

Me: I won't be long I promise.. Wife: You better had because those computer fans are very loud and I'm tired now.. Me: Just a little while longer I just need to park up for the night... 3 hours later.. Wife: I'm going to the kitchen do you want anything? Me: it's 5am me you should be asleep.. Wife: yeah good one.. Do Frontier provide divorce fees
I wonder if I could put the PC in the loft and have long wires to my.... Erm I think I'll get a gaming laptop and go sit in the kitchen
Don't forget that there is no negotiation with emotional terrorists.
If you play ED while drinking GIN, i find that i dont remember enough the next day to form an addiction.
Dark chocolate hobnobs beats ED every day
Hi,
I'm CMDR Wendake and I'm addicted to ED.
Actuallly, I have never spent so many hours in a game (850h and still flying). Playing pretty much every day.
Spent too much money for this game : HD gaming projector, 80" screen wall for the projector, pimped my PC to run it on 4K with good setting, HOTAS, head tracking...
I also stole a room in our house so I could have a nice & quiet place to play.
My girlfriend now calls me "The Astronaut".

I'm not addicted.
Admission of addiction is the first step to treatment and DON'T YOU DARE TAKE MY SPACESHIPS OFF ME!
Sorry, I'm fine. I just need to fully engineer one more ship and I'll be done. Oh, and kill a few Thargoid flowers, but that's it I'll have done everything. Except go to Beagle Point and I need a new mining ship...
Gah! So much to do, why am I still writing this post?

Sell that projector set, buy 2 VR sets and take your GF with you on those long journeys.
Omg now I'm dead jellySell that projector set, buy 2 VR sets and take your GF with you on those long journeys.
Zipline here ... Yes, I guess I am addicted to ED. I only play at weekends, but spend the week (in a corporate job) just waiting for those weekends to arrive, and when they do, I play every opportunity I can! And when I am not playing, I am reading these forums or theory-crafting builds in coriolis or planning my next escapade. When I retire, I will probably play every day ... something to look forward to.
Nothing wrong with a little vice.
Just remember it kicks back.

Yes, whilst playing I have to study my better half's facial expressions, if I push it too far, she kicks back!
