Alexander. Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Do you take breaks from gaming? If you do, how long are the breaks? How long do you game before taking stopping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I take breaks every hour although sometimes I might go over that by a few minutes if I am in the middle of a gaming session and it is about to end. My breaks are normally 15 to 20 minutes long and use that time to grab food/ get rid of waste etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UleTheVee Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Nope, I almost never take break intervals. Although usually I just stop gaming altogether as soon as I am done with the game or after 6 to 7 hours lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Normally after beating a long game I will take like a week or so before starting another game. If it was a short game I will normally start another one right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could manage those hours in my younger days but now I can only go 2-3 hours at a time before needing a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood why age was a factor. I can still do long gaming sessions. I guess it's because it relates to being in the same place? But since I game on my bed I usually shift my position a lot or move around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I think for me it does become too much. I am taking weekly break from it. And trying to get my attention into other things. And this way I have managed to have fresh perspective in the things. It works out for some topics though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It depends on the game. If it's something I'm severely good at like Zelda: Link To The Past then I can breeze through the entire game in one sitting in a relatively short time. If it's a somewhat bigger game like FF8, then yes. I play it at intervals. A couple hours a day at most. If it's somewhere in the middle I take breaks. Like Zelda Ocarina, I take a break between dungeons and random times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you invest in a Gaming Chair or do find gaming in your bed more comfortable? I'm intrigued to know more. I've never personally tried gaming this way before. Would you recommend it?
