Alexander. Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Are you the type of gamer who tends to listen to music whilst playing a video game? If so, what genre? I don't, I have difficulties trying to focus and play computer games at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music doesn't personally affect my focus when gaming and helps me to relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Maul Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Rock or anything that's catchy that I like. But yea, I'm that type of gamer. There are some games that I play (certain multiplayer games where other people use voice chat) where I do not listen to my own music though.

skyfire Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I have been using di.fm audio app for years. And it has plenty of good playlist into the app. I mostly listen to the house and trance music. I think only in the horror games I choose not to listen to anything the reason being the soundtracks in the horror games themselves are scary. And that is something one can be taking experience as well. I recommend you to check out di.fm if you are into EDM music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I tend not to play music during horror games either because I like to take in the atmosphere of horror games even though I am a bit terrified at times.

skyfire Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The reason I play music is because I don't want to catch blood pressure with the horror content. I want to listen to something smooth and have fun while gaming. So that is one reason I listen to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that terrifying...🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I agree that is true. But the thing is that complete atmospheric horror can be fatal for the mind too. So having some distracting sound can be good. Because we should limit each emotion to certain extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of anyone who plays a horror game to be not that scared - Most people play it to be scared out of their wits and the atmospheric sounds help with that. For instance, in Alien Isolation your character in-game starts to hyperventilate when an Alien is nearby and you can literally feel that fear.

skyfire Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I personally don't want to be scared much lol. But I play more for the surviavl thrill than the scare factor. I mean I don't want to listen to scary sounds all the time. it can be pretty bad for the health and also my insomnia may kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insomnia?! 🤣 Sorry, but I found that quite hilarious - all you have to tell yourself is that it's not real - like Santa Clause. It's true that horror games aren't for everyone though especially games like Alien Isolation or the Resident Evil series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Actually that does not work. Because I have been consuming a lot of soda, mainly coke. Telling myself it's not real won't work though. It does affect insomnia and leads to this sort of mind tricks. I think what we consume definitely has some impact on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably need to drink more water - insomnia can be caused by dehydration and also do some exercises in the mornings so that when it reaches bedtime you will be tired and want to sleep.

skyfire Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Yes over the years those changes need to be done. I think I have been taking a little bit of rest since the covid issues. But overall I suppose things would get back on track on health for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
