The 'Quit Gaming 8 Months Ago' meme is a satirical take on the viral self-improvement posts that often flood social media feeds. It typically features a caption stating how much the author's life has supposedly improved since they stopped playing video games, paired with an image that is either incredibly impressive or, more commonly, absurdly ridiculous. This meme format parodies the 'grindset' mentality and the overly serious tone of lifestyle influencers. Over time, it has become a staple for shitposting, where creators use surreal imagery—like becoming a mythical creature or a bodybuilder—to suggest that quitting gaming results in a nonsensical and impossible physical evolution.
