One doesn't even need to read the whole essay you wrote to tell you: good job mongrel, you finally realised that games mean literally nothing in your life, and that you should actually do something productive with your, arguably limited, energy.
You're one step closer to succeeding in life now. Congratulations, and don't even think of playing the game again for more than an hour or two when you absolutely have to... it's just a massive time sponge, and it won't do you any good either. That is coming from my heart, considering you apparently had at least more common sense than the average mongrel here to come to that conclusion.
