When you game, are you doing other things, or just gaming?

Are you multi-tasking at all when you game, or are you 100% focused on gaming? I am usually focused mostly on gaming, but sometimes I am also entertaining my cat.

I'm usually focused only on Gaming and nothing else. I specifically put time aside to Game so all my focus can be on that and nothing else.

It depends on the game I am playing as to whether I am focused on the game or I am multi-tasking. When I play certain games on Roblox or even games such as Monopoly Go on my phone, I can do that whilst multi-tasking. 

Games such as Fortnite and even Destiny 2, I prefer to be focused on those.

I'm not normally doing other things besides gaming.  I may or may not be listening to music in the background while I'm playing.  Other than that, I'm not doing anything but concentrating on playing.

Unless I eat some snacks, I focus solely on my gaming activities. I can’t even multitask like that since I am handling the controller. I don’t want anything to distract me when I am serious.

I might enjoy something to drink while gaming but I'm not normally eating stuff while I'm playing a game.

For me , when I'm gaming, I'm totally in that zone. I'm not just playing the game, I make sure to living it 🤣.

I usually focus entirely on gaming, but occasionally I multitask, like snacking or listening to music in the background.

I generally game 100% , but  occasionally I will have a stream on or listen to podcasts when playing games, especially the ones that has lower level of difficulty. I assume that multitasking may reduce my level of immersion.
