@avantgame When I was quitting smoking I played casual games for cravings. Works like a charm! Not always strictly pattern matching though. -
@MinkaArt which games worked for you? how long til craving passed? how long did it take until you didn't need to use games to avoid smoking? -
@avantgame Robot Unicorn Attack, Subway Surfers, Jewels Star. About 5-10 minutes (about a cigarette length), about a month of playing. -
@MinkaArt very cool. thank you and congrats on having the strength and determination to successfully quit :)

@avantgame ok, read the summaries now. Interesting but important to test non-visual activities too. I bet sex distracts from cravings! -
@leighblue good luck using sex to prevent cravings at work or on public transportation :) -
@avantgame depends where you work :) but fair point. I get that visual is their hypothesis, just not sure they've tested it convincingly. -
@leighblue it's obviously a preliminary study. the problem is no one does follow-ups on videogame studies. it drives me crazy.

@avantgame That's an interesting distinction bc the first article had me wondering why WoW and CoD wouldn't be more effective (immersive)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
