SpaceExplorer Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 There are studies for both pros and cons when it comes to gaming. In moderation, it's good and can be beneficial. If you overdo it, just like anything else, it can be bad for you. The Blackangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never reached the point where I am completely ruining it for other players. It's more like we all have a good laugh after everyone realizes what has taken place. I'm far from faultless myself. I did a lot of underhanded things in the MUD I played back in the day. I was a spy, so through my underhandedness, I got to see everyone else's dirt way more clearly than I wanted to. In the end, I got so jaded I quit. It was the only way to undo my percentage of the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That joke is both more and less funny than you think :/ You have no idea how badly I wanted to be James Bond, lol. I seriously considered CIA as a career when I was young. I did get to visit their HQ once, which was super cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatman Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Let's not forget that you get to spend so much time and money as well in gaming when you are too addicted to playing. This is a very worrying thing with having to game without knowing when to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I think the way games are making the kids and the adults get into the rehab. That seems to be one thing that has been going wrong for the gamers and many other people. We have to see how much time we are being spending on some of the games. And that needs to change for the health be it mental or the physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure there aren't any trackers in any of the souvenirs or secret microphones to record you?🤣 Considering the CIA's history I would be very paranoid when accepting anything from them.

Moony Burbage Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The problem I have with gaming is that there's always something else, more important thing to do: wash the dishes, tidy up the house, read a book, get the fire alarm fixed etc. But, I guess, procrastination has nothing to do with gaming at all. Ppl avoid important tasks no matter what hobby they fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are stuck on something, you can be rest assured that you will keep making excuses on why you had to keep being involved with such act or addiction. It's just the same thing with gaming because when you are so hooked up to playing, it's going to affect other things that you are supposed to do. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Noticed some of the common symptoms among gamers who need rehab. 1. They believe in getting rid of old hardware quickly As in every 3 months they think they need latest features. 2. They think they need new games and hardware to be happy. 3. They need people who accept them to be happy. If someone is going through this then they need rehab or some sort of consultation that can make them good on that count.
