Not all leisures are created equally. See Matthew's post on Monopoly.

Video games are not just any leisure, if they were, you'd have no problem swapping them with one of the many examples given. No, they are very special, that's why you won't give them up for much better leisures such as sport, reading, etc.
I have no interest in 'sports' and I already do reading.

How is it an occasion of sin? Recreation is not a sin. If i do all my prayers and other duties first there is nothing wrong with taking some leisure in my free time.

SSPX Resistance News / Re: Fr. Rostand Interview Bloopers

I don't know much about that, but I hope that one day we won't find out that archbishop Lefevbre was also complicit in silence, if he knew about complaints and charges for abuse.

No organization is protected against it, we had one st. Peter Damian long before Vatican II and the modernists.

But it is somehow most of the time connection between schism or/and heresy and sins of the flesh, not just in case of Martin Luther.
It doesn't have to be because of that, but more often than not it is.

I will have to pray a lot and think about it if I will continue attend mass at SSPX chapel. I have seen there some signs of compromise. One priest used to record sermons and publish it, not anymore. And they stop posting on blog Christus rex, which is in Croatian and was great in pointing out errors of modernism, Vatican II, New mass, etc. And there were comments on some news in the Church. 
SSPX superiors created new web page and there are no threads or topics like that anymore. They are more and more acting like FSSP, or ICKSP. Latin mass is divine, source of all graces as Jesus Christ is made present without a doubt like in Novus ordo. But true Catholic faith is more important, and some martyrs were persecuted and deprived of sacraments for a long time.

It seems like SSPX leaders are preparing the faithful for accepting the agreement with Rome, despite how big heretic or impostor sits in the chair of St. Peter.
All societies that have been approved by Rome, had to accept Vatican II and reforms, Novus Ordo mass. It's satanic modus operandi.

That is not how martyrs have become saints.




I have to get used to it. We are living in the period of chastisements, WWIII, new plandemics and lockdowns will come surely, 4th industrial revolution, etc.

You're not scrupulous, if you were scrupulous you'd give up the games. What you are is luke-warm and indecisive and that will cost you.

You don't need to follow your priest's bad advice since Our Lord has told you how severely to deal with occasions of sin.

And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

I recommend St. Alphonsus' sermon on avoiding occasions of sin, you can find the text online or audio on Defeat Modernism YT or Odysee.

The problem for me (OP) is that I started watching a lot more youtube after I quit video games a year ago.
I am so tempted to download the game again. Sure it's probably more pleasing to God to quit altogether but I am considering if I should take my confessor's advice of 1 to 2 hours MAX. I know we are supposed to listen to our priests but his was advice and not a command. I can somewhat see why my priest said that quitting altogether may not be the best option, seeing how I am already thinking about the game without even playing it...

I think the worst things to me though is that pagan elements. Typical of modern society, it features 'light' and 'darkness' and these could have once been 1 and maybe the 'darkness' isn't really bad, typical.
I know that real evil is just the lack of good and not a substance in and of itself. Also I don't like how the community refers to the best weapon rolls as 'god rolls', seems blasphemous but I am scrupulous.

Indeed that first paragraph, while I very much welcome the info, is a great example of why these machines can feel like soul crushing destroyers.

I think a portable could make sense and would be easy for someone like me to use.  A computer to me is music recording, stock analysis and regular web surfing.  Real basic stuff.  

I did a quick search for a model number and think this is it - System SKU 3Y058UA#ABA.  HP Windows 11 Home edition.  Thanks again.  Appreciate it.
