Preparing for virtual danger is what video gamers do best. But they may not be ready for this real-world health hazard: too much playing time.
The World Health Organization has revised its disease manual. WHO specialists now consider compulsive video game playing a mental health condition. They say classifying “gaming disorder” as a condition will help families and health care workers be more watchful and ready to identify the risks of gaming.
Most experts admit cases of gaming disorder are rare—with no more than 3% of gamers affected. But the conclusion confirms the fears of some parents of avid young gamers.
God graciously gives us all things to enjoy. (1 Timothy 6:17) He even gives cravings! From the beginning, Adam and Eve craved food and beauty and fellowship. (Genesis 2:9, 18) But when cravings—“the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life”—overtake the craving for God, they are wrong. (1 John 2:15-16)
Some people welcome the gaming disorder label. They say identifying addicts quickly is important because compulsive gamers are usually young people—those who often don’t seek help themselves.
Others worry the label may brand too many gamers. “People need to understand this doesn’t mean every child who spends hours in their room playing games is an addict,” says Dr. Joan Harvey of the British Psychological Society.
Dr. Mark Griffiths has researched gaming disorder for 30 years. He says most people play video games for entertainment. “You have these short, obsessive bursts and yes, people are playing a lot,” he says, “But it’s not an addiction.”
Griffiths believes many compulsive gamers probably have other problems—like autism or depression. Those problems feed their playing too much.
The American Psychiatric Association knows gaming is a problem. APA studies show that playing video games triggers something in some people’s brains “in the same . . . way that a drug addict’s brain is affected by a particular substance.” Still, the association believes doctors need more research before calling compulsive gaming a disorder.
What are symptoms of a gaming problem? Here’s a partial list:
—Anger, nervousness, or sorrow when gaming is taken away
—Needing to spend more time gaming
—Failed attempts to quit
—Disinterest in previously enjoyed activities
—Lying about time spent gaming
—Using gaming to feel better
—Risking jobs or friendships because of gaming
The dangers of excess are clear. Too much of a good thing—food, sleep, exercise, or video games—is just that: too much.
The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. — Proverbs 22:3

1. Waste of time
Two hours here…two hours there… A metric ton of time down the black hole. Where does it go? Who knows, bro. Not into anything productive, that’s for sure. Again, if you’re a professional gamer – this is fine. If you’re reading this, you most likely aren’t, so…
2. Waste of money
Video games are madly expensive. Consoles…controllers…games…accessories… all of that stuff adds up in the long run. What if you were able to use that money to buy life changing books instead? What would your life look like a year from now? Five years from now?

3. Low return on investment
For the time that you’re putting into a video game…how much are you getting back out of it? Sure, you’re getting pleasure… but what about real and lasting enjoyment?
You know…the type of enjoyment that comes from accomplishing real life goals? There’s nothing worse than putting a ton of time into something and having nothing to show for it.
4. Accomplishes nothing in the real world
Video games are a form of escapism into a fantasy reality.
You’re levelling up, you’re destroying all these bad bosses…but what about those dishes in the sink? What about that credit card bill? What are you doing to fix those? If you’re spending a lot of time in Fantasy-land… nothing much.

5. Social isolation
With the explosion of online gaming, we now have the ability to play with anyone in the entire world. When this first came out, I was stunned by the possibilities. I thought it was awesome. You’re connecting with people all over the globe to form teams, clans, etc.
Awesome, right? Well…kinda. Online gaming creates the illusion of being social much like social media does. There’s nothing wrong with playing online, but if you’re substituting that for real life interaction – sound the alarms.
6. Skewed sense of reality
Don’t want to see a cutscene? Hit “Start” or “X”. Want to breeze past this level? Put in the cheats for God Mode. Unfortunately, it’s not that way in real life. You can’t put in a code to unlock “overnight millionaire” or to have an attractive woman show up at your doorstep.

7. Detracts from goals
As humans, we are goal-seeking organisms by nature. We want to accomplish things. When you play a lot of video games, this desire is sublimated into achieving things in the game. You lose your desire to accomplish things outside a game.
8. Pleasure hijacker
In my experience, video games are incredibly stimulating. That’s why they’re so easy to become addicted to. They short circuit the reward center in the brain. Finish a level?
A nice hit of dopamine for you. Ah… so nice…. Until it’s not.
You need more and more stimulation. More levels to unlock. More multiplayer games to win. So many easy hits of dopamine. Why bother reading a book? Why bother studying for that test? It doesn’t offer any instant reward!

When you play a game, you can get it right now. This is a problem because success from achieving goals in real life doesn’t usually offer a massive hit of dopamine. As a result, you become less stimulated and more impatient. The end result is you giving up.
9. False sense of completion
You won a round of Call of Duty. Hooray. But your room’s still a pigsty. You haven’t taken out the trash. You haven’t gotten that promotion you should have gotten. Where’s the real value here?
10. Failure to resolve conflicts
The amount of people who talk shit online is absurd. Would they say that to your face? Probably not. A lot of the really hardcore gamers who talk shit are people who would scuttle away like a hermit crab in the face of a real fight.
Calling someone a “fag” on the Internet doesn’t make you tough, it shows a lack of emotional and social intelligence. Try calling the guy who cuts in front of you in line at the bar a “fag” and see what he has to say about it.

Procrastination is the leech of all hopes and dreams.
If you think it won’t catch up with you – it will. When you play massive amounts of video games, you can be sure that you’re procrastinating on something. Things you haven’t done…conversations you haven’t had… it all adds up. Over time, this leads to disaster.
12. Irrational fear
This one’s a bit harder to put into words.
The best way to describe it is “social anxiety”. When you’re in your warm little cocoon all day, you’ll find it hard to be social and when you do get into social interactions, they get kind of…awkward.

Without your health, you’re nothing. How healthy is it to snack on Cheetos while sitting on a damn couch for hours on end?
Going to the gym and being physically active is one of the best things you can do for yourself. We are made for physical activity. Run, lift weights, swim…whatever you do – just do something.

This goes in hand with the last one. I’ve personally noticed that when I’ve been physically inactive, I tend to want to write off the rest of the day. When I’m physically active, I generate even more energy.
Whatever stays at rest tends to remain in rest unless acted upon by an outside force. The same goes with you.

15. Lack of discovery
We live in a vast world. There’s places to go, people to meet, things to do. If you stay inside all day, you’re missing most of it. Most importantly, you’re missing the most important discovery of all – yourself.
How will you “know thyself” and what you’re capable of if you’ve been spending it gazing into a screen?
Answer: you won’t.
With the negatives out of the way, let’s talk about the positives.
16. Improved relationships
You’re not going to build a great friendship or romantic relationship with someone through a console. You only do that through real life interactions. You can definitely meet people and talk to them over the web, but face to face is a whole different kettle of fish.

17. Renewed interest in other things
When you put the controller down, you’ll see that you’ve been missing out on a lot. Great books, great social activities, things that can actually enhance you as a person in the real world. Excessive gaming usually fills a massive void.
With that void present again, you’re free to fill it up with all kinds of other hobbies and interests.
18. Redirection of intensity
The desire to climb to the top of the leader-boards now has now become for the burning desire to climb to the top of your career, your interests, etc. Once you find a goal that really spurs you on, you’ll want to dig deep and see where it leads.
19. Real time goal setting
You no longer have the shallow goal of being number one in death match or crushing endless amounts of noobs. You instead have the desire to set actual goals that will make a difference in your bank account, your quality of life, and ultimately your happiness.

20. More time
You’ll have more time in the day to accomplish things. This alone is worth the price of admission.
Summary
Once you get a taste of what’s out there, sitting down and playing video games becomes incredibly boring. You’ll be so used to your new life that you see you’ll have no use for it. Then, you end up selling it or giving it away – creating more room for other hobbies.
So again, if you find yourself playing a lot of games… I’d ask you to take a hard look at your life and see if you’re using it in an attempt to compensate for some lack. If you find it hard to cut your time down, just start with cutting it by 30 minutes a day.

Summary
Once you get a taste of what’s out there, sitting down and playing video games becomes incredibly boring. You’ll be so used to your new life that you see you’ll have no use for it. Then, you end up selling it or giving it away – creating more room for other hobbies.
So again, if you find yourself playing a lot of games… I’d ask you to take a hard look at your life and see if you’re using it in an attempt to compensate for some lack. If you find it hard to cut your time down, just start with cutting it by 30 minutes a day.

Gaming: When Is Too Much Too Much?

Are the hours invested in video games well spent? (123RF, RB)
Are the hours invested in video games well spent? (123RF, RB)
Preparing for virtual danger is what video gamers do best. But they may not be ready for this real-world health hazard: too much playing time.
The World Health Organization has revised its disease manual. WHO specialists now consider compulsive video game playing a mental health condition. They say classifying “gaming disorder” as a condition will help families and health care workers be more watchful and ready to identify the risks of gaming.
Most experts admit cases of gaming disorder are rare—with no more than 3% of gamers affected. But the conclusion confirms the fears of some parents of avid young gamers.
God graciously gives us all things to enjoy. (1 Timothy 6:17) He even gives cravings! From the beginning, Adam and Eve craved food and beauty and fellowship. (Genesis 2:9, 18) But when cravings—“the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life”—overtake the craving for God, they are wrong. (1 John 2:15-16)
Some people welcome the gaming disorder label. They say identifying addicts quickly is important because compulsive gamers are usually young people—those who often don’t seek help themselves.
Others worry the label may brand too many gamers. “People need to understand this doesn’t mean every child who spends hours in their room playing games is an addict,” says Dr. Joan Harvey of the British Psychological Society.
Dr. Mark Griffiths has researched gaming disorder for 30 years. He says most people play video games for entertainment. “You have these short, obsessive bursts and yes, people are playing a lot,” he says, “But it’s not an addiction.”
Griffiths believes many compulsive gamers probably have other problems—like autism or depression. Those problems feed their playing too much.
The American Psychiatric Association knows gaming is a problem. APA studies show that playing video games triggers something in some people’s brains “in the same . . . way that a drug addict’s brain is affected by a particular substance.” Still, the association believes doctors need more research before calling compulsive gaming a disorder.
What are symptoms of a gaming problem? Here’s a partial list:
—Anger, nervousness, or sorrow when gaming is taken away
—Needing to spend more time gaming
—Failed attempts to quit
—Disinterest in previously enjoyed activities
—Lying about time spent gaming
—Using gaming to feel better
—Risking jobs or friendships because of gaming
The dangers of excess are clear. Too much of a good thing—food, sleep, exercise, or video games—is just that: too much.
The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. — Proverbs 22:3

A nice hit of dopamine for you. Ah… so nice…. Until it’s not.
You need more and more stimulation. More levels to unlock. More multiplayer games to win. So many easy hits of dopamine. Why bother reading a book? Why bother studying for that test? It doesn’t offer any instant reward!

When you play a game, you can get it right now. This is a problem because success from achieving goals in real life doesn’t usually offer a massive hit of dopamine. As a result, you become less stimulated and more impatient. The end result is you giving up.
9. False sense of completion
You won a round of Call of Duty. Hooray. But your room’s still a pigsty. You haven’t taken out the trash. You haven’t gotten that promotion you should have gotten. Where’s the real value here?
10. Failure to resolve conflicts
The amount of people who talk shit online is absurd. Would they say that to your face? Probably not. A lot of the really hardcore gamers who talk shit are people who would scuttle away like a hermit crab in the face of a real fight.
Calling someone a “fag” on the Internet doesn’t make you tough, it shows a lack of emotional and social intelligence. Try calling the guy who cuts in front of you in line at the bar a “fag” and see what he has to say about it.

11. Procrastination
Procrastination is the leech of all hopes and dreams.
If you think it won’t catch up with you – it will. When you play massive amounts of video games, you can be sure that you’re procrastinating on something. Things you haven’t done…conversations you haven’t had… it all adds up. Over time, this leads to disaster.
12. Irrational fear
This one’s a bit harder to put into words.
The best way to describe it is “social anxiety”. When you’re in your warm little cocoon all day, you’ll find it hard to be social and when you do get into social interactions, they get kind of…awkward.

You start to become stuck in your head and its harder to make an organic connection that way.
13. Physical fitness
Without your health, you’re nothing. How healthy is it to snack on Cheetos while sitting on a damn couch for hours on end?
Going to the gym and being physically active is one of the best things you can do for yourself. We are made for physical activity. Run, lift weights, swim…whatever you do – just do something.
14. Laziness
This goes in hand with the last one. I’ve personally noticed that when I’ve been physically inactive, I tend to want to write off the rest of the day. When I’m physically active, I generate even more energy.
Whatever stays at rest tends to remain in rest unless acted upon by an outside force. The same goes with you.

15. Lack of discovery
We live in a vast world. There’s places to go, people to meet, things to do. If you stay inside all day, you’re missing most of it. Most importantly, you’re missing the most important discovery of all – yourself.
How will you “know thyself” and what you’re capable of if you’ve been spending it gazing into a screen?
Answer: you won’t.
With the negatives out of the way, let’s talk about the positives.
16. Improved relationships
You’re not going to build a great friendship or romantic relationship with someone through a console. You only do that through real life interactions. You can definitely meet people and talk to them over the web, but face to face is a whole different kettle of fish.

17. Renewed interest in other things
When you put the controller down, you’ll see that you’ve been missing out on a lot. Great books, great social activities, things that can actually enhance you as a person in the real world. Excessive gaming usually fills a massive void.
With that void present again, you’re free to fill it up with all kinds of other hobbies and interests.
18. Redirection of intensity
The desire to climb to the top of the leader-boards now has now become for the burning desire to climb to the top of your career, your interests, etc. Once you find a goal that really spurs you on, you’ll want to dig deep and see where it leads.
19. Real time goal setting
You no longer have the shallow goal of being number one in death match or crushing endless amounts of noobs. You instead have the desire to set actual goals that will make a difference in your bank account, your quality of life, and ultimately your happiness.

Summary
Once you get a taste of what’s out there, sitting down and playing video games becomes incredibly boring. You’ll be so used to your new life that you see you’ll have no use for it. Then, you end up selling it or giving it away – creating more room for other hobbies.
So again, if you find yourself playing a lot of games… I’d ask you to take a hard look at your life and see if you’re using it in an attempt to compensate for some lack. If you find it hard to cut your time down, just start with cutting it by 30 minutes a day.

1. Waste of time
Two hours here…two hours there… A metric ton of time down the black hole. Where does it go? Who knows, bro. Not into anything productive, that’s for sure. Again, if you’re a professional gamer – this is fine. If you’re reading this, you most likely aren’t, so…
2. Waste of money
Video games are madly expensive. Consoles…controllers…games…accessories… all of that stuff adds up in the long run. What if you were able to use that money to buy life changing books instead? What would your life look like a year from now? Five years from now?
Report this ad
3. Low return on investment
For the time that you’re putting into a video game…how much are you getting back out of it? Sure, you’re getting pleasure… but what about real and lasting enjoyment?
You know…the type of enjoyment that comes from accomplishing real life goals? There’s nothing worse than putting a ton of time into something and having nothing to show for it.
4. Accomplishes nothing in the real world
Video games are a form of escapism into a fantasy reality.
You’re levelling up, you’re destroying all these bad bosses…but what about those dishes in the sink? What about that credit card bill? What are you doing to fix those? If you’re spending a lot of time in Fantasy-land… nothing much.

5. Social isolation
With the explosion of online gaming, we now have the ability to play with anyone in the entire world. When this first came out, I was stunned by the possibilities. I thought it was awesome. You’re connecting with people all over the globe to form teams, clans, etc.
Awesome, right? Well…kinda. Online gaming creates the illusion of being social much like social media does. There’s nothing wrong with playing online, but if you’re substituting that for real life interaction – sound the alarms.
6. Skewed sense of reality
Don’t want to see a cutscene? Hit “Start” or “X”. Want to breeze past this level? Put in the cheats for God Mode. Unfortunately, it’s not that way in real life. You can’t put in a code to unlock “overnight millionaire” or to have an attractive woman show up at your doorstep.

You won a round of Call of Duty. Hooray. But your room’s still a pigsty. You haven’t taken out the trash. You haven’t gotten that promotion you should have gotten. Where’s the real value here?
10. Failure to resolve conflicts
The amount of people who talk shit online is absurd. Would they say that to your face? Probably not. A lot of the really hardcore gamers who talk shit are people who would scuttle away like a hermit crab in the face of a real fight.
Calling someone a “fag” on the Internet doesn’t make you tough, it shows a lack of emotional and social intelligence. Try calling the guy who cuts in front of you in line at the bar a “fag” and see what he has to say about it.

11. Procrastination
Procrastination is the leech of all hopes and dreams.
If you think it won’t catch up with you – it will. When you play massive amounts of video games, you can be sure that you’re procrastinating on something. Things you haven’t done…conversations you haven’t had… it all adds up. Over time, this leads to disaster.
12. Irrational fear
This one’s a bit harder to put into words.
The best way to describe it is “social anxiety”. When you’re in your warm little cocoon all day, you’ll find it hard to be social and when you do get into social interactions, they get kind of…awkward.
Report this ad
You start to become stuck in your head and its harder to make an organic connection that way.
13. Physical fitness
Without your health, you’re nothing. How healthy is it to snack on Cheetos while sitting on a damn couch for hours on end?
Going to the gym and being physically active is one of the best things you can do for yourself. We are made for physical activity. Run, lift weights, swim…whatever you do – just do something.
14. Laziness
This goes in hand with the last one. I’ve personally noticed that when I’ve been physically inactive, I tend to want to write off the rest of the day. When I’m physically active, I generate even more energy.
Whatever stays at rest tends to remain in rest unless acted upon by an outside force. The same goes with you.
Report this ad
15. Lack of discovery
We live in a vast world. There’s places to go, people to meet, things to do. If you stay inside all day, you’re missing most of it. Most importantly, you’re missing the most important discovery of all – yourself.
How will you “know thyself” and what you’re capable of if you’ve been spending it gazing into a screen?
Answer: you won’t.
With the negatives out of the way, let’s talk about the positives.
16. Improved relationships
You’re not going to build a great friendship or romantic relationship with someone through a console. You only do that through real life interactions. You can definitely meet people and talk to them over the web, but face to face is a whole different kettle of fish.
Report this ad
17. Renewed interest in other things
When you put the controller down, you’ll see that you’ve been missing out on a lot. Great books, great social activities, things that can actually enhance you as a person in the real world. Excessive gaming usually fills a massive void.
With that void present again, you’re free to fill it up with all kinds of other hobbies and interests.
18. Redirection of intensity
The desire to climb to the top of the leader-boards now has now become for the burning desire to climb to the top of your career, your interests, etc. Once you find a goal that really spurs you on, you’ll want to dig deep and see where it leads.
19. Real time goal setting
You no longer have the shallow goal of being number one in death match or crushing endless amounts of noobs. You instead have the desire to set actual goals that will make a difference in your bank account, your quality of life, and ultimately your happiness.
Report this ad
20. More time
You’ll have more time in the day to accomplish things. This alone is worth the price of admission.
Summary
Once you get a taste of what’s out there, sitting down and playing video games becomes incredibly boring. You’ll be so used to your new life that you see you’ll have no use for it. Then, you end up selling it or giving it away – creating more room for other hobbies.
So again, if you find yourself playing a lot of games… I’d ask you to take a hard look at your life and see if you’re using it in an attempt to compensate for some lack. If you find it hard to cut your time down, just start with cutting it by 30 minutes a day.
Report this ad
Reduce it another 30 minutes the next week. Then see if you can go a week without it at all. It’s worth trying…

Gaming: When Is Too Much Too Much?
Pop Smart 08/30/2018 819 Comments
Are the hours invested in video games well spent? (123RF, RB)
Are the hours invested in video games well spent? (123RF, RB)
Preparing for virtual danger is what video gamers do best. But they may not be ready for this real-world health hazard: too much playing time.
The World Health Organization has revised its disease manual. WHO specialists now consider compulsive video game playing a mental health condition. They say classifying “gaming disorder” as a condition will help families and health care workers be more watchful and ready to identify the risks of gaming.
Most experts admit cases of gaming disorder are rare—with no more than 3% of gamers affected. But the conclusion confirms the fears of some parents of avid young gamers.
God graciously gives us all things to enjoy. (1 Timothy 6:17) He even gives cravings! From the beginning, Adam and Eve craved food and beauty and fellowship. (Genesis 2:9, 18) But when cravings—“the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life”—overtake the craving for God, they are wrong. (1 John 2:15-16)
Some people welcome the gaming disorder label. They say identifying addicts quickly is important because compulsive gamers are usually young people—those who often don’t seek help themselves.
Others worry the label may brand too many gamers. “People need to understand this doesn’t mean every child who spends hours in their room playing games is an addict,” says Dr. Joan Harvey of the British Psychological Society.
Dr. Mark Griffiths has researched gaming disorder for 30 years. He says most people play video games for entertainment. “You have these short, obsessive bursts and yes, people are playing a lot,” he says, “But it’s not an addiction.”
Griffiths believes many compulsive gamers probably have other problems—like autism or depression. Those problems feed their playing too much.
The American Psychiatric Association knows gaming is a problem. APA studies show that playing video games triggers something in some people’s brains “in the same . . . way that a drug addict’s brain is affected by a particular substance.” Still, the association believes doctors need more research before calling compulsive gaming a disorder.
What are symptoms of a gaming problem? Here’s a partial list:
—Anger, nervousness, or sorrow when gaming is taken away
—Needing to spend more time gaming
—Failed attempts to quit
—Disinterest in previously enjoyed activities
—Lying about time spent gaming
—Using gaming to feel better
—Risking jobs or friendships because of gaming
The dangers of excess are clear. Too much of a good thing—food, sleep, exercise, or video games—is just that: too much.
The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. — Proverbs 22:3

Gerbils
PERMALINK ON TUE, 02/19/2019 - 15:14 | BY JULIA V
I have two gerbils, named Fred and George. There aren't any different "types" of gerbils, like hamsters, but they come in lots of different colors. Fred is tan and George is brown with black on the tip of his tail. They are so fun to watch!

Fishkeeping
PERMALINK ON TUE, 02/19/2019 - 17:31 | BY ANNA C
I am into the fishkeeping hobby, although I mostly just read about fish. Not much room for more fish, I have a 10 gallon tank with a really large goldfish (maybe around 6 in including the tail?) and two catfish (they are small, like 1 in : )
@ Julia V - Did you name your gerbils after Fred and George in Harry Potter?

Why not to play video games!
PERMALINK ON TUE, 02/19/2019 - 20:04 | BY LOGAN M
1. Waste of time
Two hours here…two hours there… A metric ton of time down the black hole. Where does it go? Who knows, bro. Not into anything productive, that’s for sure. Again, if you’re a professional gamer – this is fine. If you’re reading this, you most likely aren’t, so…
2. Waste of money
Video games are madly expensive. Consoles…controllers…games…accessories… all of that stuff adds up in the long run. What if you were able to use that money to buy life changing books instead? What would your life look like a year from now? Five years from now?
3. Low return on investment
For the time that you’re putting into a video game…how much are you getting back out of it? Sure, you’re getting pleasure… but what about real and lasting enjoyment?
You know…the type of enjoyment that comes from accomplishing real life goals? There’s nothing worse than putting a ton of time into something and having nothing to show for it.
4. Accomplishes nothing in the real world
Video games are a form of escapism into a fantasy reality.
You’re levelling up, you’re destroying all these bad bosses…but what about those dishes in the sink? What about that credit card bill? What are you doing to fix those? If you’re spending a lot of time in Fantasy-land… nothing much.
5. Social isolation
With the explosion of online gaming, we now have the ability to play with anyone in the entire world. When this first came out, I was stunned by the possibilities. I thought it was awesome. You’re connecting with people all over the globe to form teams, clans, etc.
Awesome, right? Well…kinda. Online gaming creates the illusion of being social much like social media does. There’s nothing wrong with playing online, but if you’re substituting that for real life interaction – sound the alarms.
6. Skewed sense of reality
Don’t want to see a cutscene? Hit “Start” or “X”. Want to breeze past this level? Put in the cheats for God Mode. Unfortunately, it’s not that way in real life. You can’t put in a code to unlock “overnight millionaire” or to have an attractive woman show up at your doorstep.
7. Detracts from goals
As humans, we are goal-seeking organisms by nature. We want to accomplish things. When you play a lot of video games, this desire is sublimated into achieving things in the game. You lose your desire to accomplish things outside a game.
8. Pleasure hijacker
In my experience, video games are incredibly stimulating. That’s why they’re so easy to become addicted to. They short circuit the reward center in the brain. Finish a level?
A nice hit of dopamine for you. Ah… so nice…. Until it’s not.
You need more and more stimulation. More levels to unlock. More multiplayer games to win. So many easy hits of dopamine. Why bother reading a book? Why bother studying for that test? It doesn’t offer any instant reward!
When you play a game, you can get it right now. This is a problem because success from achieving goals in real life doesn’t usually offer a massive hit of dopamine. As a result, you become less stimulated and more impatient. The end result is you giving up.
9. False sense of completion
You won a round of Call of Duty. Hooray. But your room’s still a pigsty. You haven’t taken out the trash. You haven’t gotten that promotion you should have gotten. Where’s the real value here?
10. Failure to resolve conflicts
The amount of people who talk shit online is absurd. Would they say that to your face? Probably not. A lot of the really hardcore gamers who talk shit are people who would scuttle away like a hermit crab in the face of a real fight.
Calling someone a “fag” on the Internet doesn’t make you tough, it shows a lack of emotional and social intelligence. Try calling the guy who cuts in front of you in line at the bar a “fag” and see what he has to say about it.
11. Procrastination
Procrastination is the leech of all hopes and dreams.
If you think it won’t catch up with you – it will. When you play massive amounts of video games, you can be sure that you’re procrastinating on something. Things you haven’t done…conversations you haven’t had… it all adds up. Over time, this leads to disaster.
12. Irrational fear
This one’s a bit harder to put into words.
The best way to describe it is “social anxiety”. When you’re in your warm little cocoon all day, you’ll find it hard to be social and when you do get into social interactions, they get kind of…awkward.
You start to become stuck in your head and its harder to make an organic connection that way.

14. Laziness
This goes in hand with the last one. I’ve personally noticed that when I’ve been physically inactive, I tend to want to write off the rest of the day. When I’m physically active, I generate even more energy.
Whatever stays at rest tends to remain in rest unless acted upon by an outside force. The same goes with you.
15. Lack of discovery
We live in a vast world. There’s places to go, people to meet, things to do. If you stay inside all day, you’re missing most of it. Most importantly, you’re missing the most important discovery of all – yourself.
How will you “know thyself” and what you’re capable of if you’ve been spending it gazing into a screen?
Answer: you won’t.
With the negatives out of the way, let’s talk about the positives.
16. Improved relationships
You’re not going to build a great friendship or romantic relationship with someone through a console. You only do that through real life interactions. You can definitely meet people and talk to them over the web, but face to face is a whole different kettle of fish.
17. Renewed interest in other things
When you put the controller down, you’ll see that you’ve been missing out on a lot. Great books, great social activities, things that can actually enhance you as a person in the real world. Excessive gaming usually fills a massive void.
With that void present again, you’re free to fill it up with all kinds of other hobbies and interests.
18. Redirection of intensity
The desire to climb to the top of the leader-boards now has now become for the burning desire to climb to the top of your career, your interests, etc. Once you find a goal that really spurs you on, you’ll want to dig deep and see where it leads.
19. Real time goal setting
You no longer have the shallow goal of being number one in death match or crushing endless amounts of noobs. You instead have the desire to set actual goals that will make a difference in your bank account, your quality of life, and ultimately your happiness.
20. More time
You’ll have more time in the day to accomplish things. This alone is worth the price of admission.
Summary
Once you get a taste of what’s out there, sitting down and playing video games becomes incredibly boring. You’ll be so used to your new life that you see you’ll have no use for it. Then, you end up selling it or giving it away – creating more room for other hobbies.
So again, if you find yourself playing a lot of games… I’d ask you to take a hard look at your life and see if you’re using it in an attempt to compensate for some lack. If you find it hard to cut your time down, just start with cutting it by 30 minutes a day.
Reduce it another 30 minutes the next week. Then see if you can go a week without it at all. It’s worth trying…

Woah
PERMALINK ON TUE, 02/19/2019 - 22:38 | BY ANNA C
Woah that is possibly the longest comment I have ever seen! Good points there.
I agree with most of them. I feel like some is ok, just not for hours on end. We get to either tv or play our Wii U, which we can have 30 minutes on.
As for the cost part, if you get stuff used it is a whole lot cheaper. We have a Wii and a Wii U (Wii is not hooked up right now), and we haven't bought anything new for it, all used, including consoles.
Now about what we get out of it, we really don't get much, but do we get anything out of playing board and card games? (Besides spending time with people, which you can do with a console if you play with like your siblings or something.)
These are just my opinions☺. Great comment!

Vacations and Video Games
My favorite place to go on vacation is a beautiful lake in Idaho. Logan M, how are you getting soooo much typed down in so little time? I agree with you on the pointlessness of video games, Although I do play and enjoy video games, I don't look to them for happiness and I play them and care about them less than most people.

@LOGANM
Hey there, Logan. Um, I didn't read all the comments (Cause there's a LOT), but if what you posted on the last page, over and over again, is what you think, I gotta couple things to say. First of all, I don't think gaming is any less a waste of time than another hobby, like board games or other not very physical activities. Yes, huge amounts of staring at a screen can have bad effects, but playing in small amounts as a fun way to spend free time, can be benificial, or, at the very least, harmless. Many games have puzzle elements, which can help with problem solving, and exercise your brain. Plus, if you have a headset and are playing a video game with a friend via the internet, you can bond with your friend over a shared love of something. Video games must take MORE brain activity than watching a movie or a tv show, because your brain is thinking, you're walking, fighting, solving problems, etc. You seem to say that people should be working or paying bills or other things, but God has given us a need to relax and enjoy things as well. Other things people do also trigger dopamine, video games aren't an unhealthy drug. If you're playing the game with a friend at least, then I think videos CAN bring as much "lasting enjoyment" as other entertainment. People who've spent time with each other playing a video game can ask each other, "Hey remember when you accidentally blew our Minecraft house up with a Creeper? That was hilarious!" So, video games have inherent value as well, especially if the game is set in historical backgrounds, or has positive messages of, for instance, redemption. Similar to movies, a video game can influence people to think about right and wrong or situational ethics. If it's okay for a professional gamer to play, it should be fine for someone to play as a pastime, and I completely disagree that the impact of video games leads to someone giving up, or being less tenacious at something. "You'll have more time in the day to accomplish things." Yes, but everyone needs to spend time doing something they enjoy, like reading a book or playing Skyrim. What "things" of more importance should you be doing in your free time? It's free time, remember? It's just for fun. Video games aren't something people should avoid, if it's what they enjoy. Be wise with your time, and don't let certain things control you. I agree with that. But everything in moderation, bro. Also, if you're just listing all the POSSIBLE problems there could be with too much gaming, then, I must have missed something. I'm just arguing about some of the things that stood out to me that I disagree with. Hope we can share our opinions!
ok. The way you put it makes
ok. The way you put it makes alot of sense. theres alot of kids who take it as a hobby. But there are some people who take it as a drug. For example my brother almost 20 and he quit his college and went to his friends house to play vid games 20 hrs aday. We have had to find him and take him in. When he was younger he played it as a hobby .... not any more. My fam doesnt let him play any vid games. But he still tries to sneak off and play more. But he is finally starting to give in. He gets depressed all the time. Your paragraph is what it startsoff with though. But then it turns into mine
Point is sometimes gives you
Point is sometimes gives you 2 much enjoyment
Woah!!!

@LOGANM
Okay, I get your point of view. That must be pretty rough. But, I think what happened to your brother is pretty rare, even like it says in the article. Maybe even getting addicted to games is a sign of a deeper issue. Did he have time limits on gaming when he was a kid? I do and I think that's a pretty good thing.
