Music is something that comes naturally if you ask me as long as you're open to it. I really used to hate music myself till I opened up for it and I started enjoying it. 

Music was always playing in my house and in my community growing up so there was no way I could hate it if I wanted to.

Adequate rest is really required for our health. We just keep on playing at stretch for long period, as that will adversely effect our hands and wrists. Proper rest at an interval is needed. 

Seriously - when the wrist is that hurt pretty bad, I don't really know how the player can be efficient in his play. It's not something that can be forced.

I remember a day I spent almost ten hours a day, playing FIFA 19 player career mode, I covered a full season within that duration, I felt enough pains holding the controllers on my wrist, and fingers. My body felt enough pains too sitting one place. I never spend such kind of lengthy duration of time again, if I continue it will be disastrous to my health indeed.

That's one comical art which my friends always say, that if a gamer play far too long driving the controller around far too hard, that their is every possibility of the gamer developing bombs at the tarsal and metatarsal pads, lol.

Seriously there is no benefit with always trying to play a game when your hand is hurting, it's better for you to let it rest and allow yourself to recover.

It should cause for a rest and not forcing yourself in when the hands are simply weak and feeling discomfort. It wouldn't make sense to get going that way cos we are simply causing more harm to the health.

Their is no point in gaming playing too long when the body is already stressed up. We shouldn't go further when we are feeling discomfort due to the fact if not risking our health for gaming.

Even with my mobile device caused me facing the challenges of wrist strain, talk of controllers that have weight, carrying it long will even be more severe.

That's great that you had enough self discipline and concern for your health that you decided to cut back. Some people are too addicted to gaming and that's the issue.

Yeah - addiction is a very big problem for those who are suffering from it because their health would be at risk but they still can't help it.

I can't be so addicted to video games forget about the dangers it poses to my health when I play it so hand. Such implications is detrimental in the future when we neglect to obey our body when it is over stressed up.

So true but some people are deeply caught up in their addiction and they usually won't try to seek professional help and it ends up ruining their lives.

You're right. And such is detrimental to dent their professional career, cos it will make them losing focus due to excessive gaming influx, playing it at the wrong time when their services are needed at utmost.

I can't see myself forcing through gaming just to complete some levels when my wrist is feeling pains. I'll definitely take some break and relax my hands to feel replenish to start again later.
