Are you addicted to any game?

[Heatman]

Gaming addiction is something that a lot of people fear to fall into because it gets nasty when it starts to mess up one's life generally. 

You hardly hear people say they are addicted to games but truly, there are so many gamers suffering from addiction.

I wouldn't say that I'm addicted to any one specific game in particular, or even gaming for that matter. But since I have nothing but empty time, I play all day long, often just to fill that time. So any time you see me there is a video game running nearby.

I don't have any addictions to games per say but I always liked playing Skyrim because of the endless possibilities you can create with modding.

I was pretty addicted to gaming in my early 20's, but not so much now.  I didn't get therapy, but I was just tired of how my parents were looking at me.

When it starts to impact your life, then you need to take a step back which you did. Most parents wouldn't understand gaming as it still has a stigma of being unproductive.

I still sometimes wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn't played video games ever and had just read, drew, built model cars and faced my friends in backyard sports as a kid.  Would it have been like the childhood of Kevin Arnold from The Wonder Years?  I don't know.

Mobile Legends and League of Legends. I play them on different platforms and I love wasting time on them.

In a way, there is something that I call a healthy addiction, once it's an addiction that doesn't take way my rationality. There are games that I'm with like that.

I've played lots of games in my time, both the ones I bought on my own and the one I collected from friends to play. But the most tremendous amongst them are; 

 

FIFA soccer series, 

 

GTA San Andreas

MK

God Hand etc.

I used to be obsessed with Animal Crossing myself.

GTA San Andreas is a broad game that covers lots of levels, if you concentrate on it you won't look out for another. I never witnessed the whole season of San Andreas before. I never played snowrunner before. 

 

Can you share snowrunner's trailer here?

If i remember correctly, unless it is a chemical addiction, usually addiction is defined to be “addiction to the point where it affects normal life”. So yeah, for psychological addictions, as long as it don’t affect your life to the point you have problems in your life, and can’t go on, then it’s not an addiction. Me, in away MSFS2020 or anything related to flight sims.

I can't give my all attention to a game, in order not to affect my psychologically reasoning. I love games be it soccer, action, adventure, horror, real world etc, I do enjoy but I don't get too addicted to them.

Seriously - my junior brother was really addicted to playing this game Animal Crossing when it was released. I never knew he would grow from it.
