TheSteelyardDweller Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 @Alyxx @skyfire and others were debating how long is too long to play a video game. i have a related question. when you game too long for YOU, what tell u that u have had enough? do u get headache, backache, achy wrists. for me my feet fall asleep but i never have other problems when i play but maybe i dont play that long at a time.

The Blackangel Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 When I have to get my elbow brace, that tells me that I may have been on the game or computer too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Eh, I don't really have much of a tell for when I've gamed for too long since I'm so used to gaming for lengthy periods. Usually I stop when I feel bored or like I'm not able to pay attention. Edited October 9, 2019 by Alyxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 When I start getting really fidgety/distracted or start falling asleep, that's when I know I've been gaming way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DylanC Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Numb bum from sitting down too long, very occasionally I get a headache and I sometimes get a wee bit of cramp in the ol’ trigger finger. (I’m getting old!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrik Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 no issues except that i feel that my legs are so so tired (just because they are so so comfortable when sitting LOL) for some reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Well, how long is too long, I mean 5 hours or 20 hours. At times I can game for 5 hours and feel fine afterwards or after times game for 4 hours and feel it afterwards where I need to rest. Depends on how they feel. When flying over 5 hours every hour or so I stand up and ove around since doing 5 hours flight you do nothing but look at the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 There are times where I start to get groggy and start feeling sick if I stay in one spot for too long, especially when it comes to gaming. I will oftentimes slouch on my couch as well, and that starts to mess up my back too. I don't usually stick in one spot for too long though because of that. When I start to feel it, I get up and move around. Or I take a break for an hour or two to recover. There's the usual tiredness, but that's a given when you game for long hours.
