Alexander. Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Night owl gamers, do you prefer gaming in the dark or in a well lit-room or lounge? What's your preference and the reasoning behind your choice? Most of the time, I game in the light as pitch black gaming gives me a headache and strains my eyes even more.

Slennie Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I need me some light or I end up pressing the wrong buttons. But I don't need a well lit-room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyPowers Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 In the dark. Easier for me to see the screen, plus less sensory distractions = greater immersion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I only play the game in the dark if it is horror. And it can be something that appears as an experience for me then and only then I prefer to play in the dark. Most of the time I play in the light. And it can be good for my eyes. I don't see much reason to play in dark otherwise. I also think that to protect the eyes one should also use the flux light app in desktop. That also helps out with some games.

How do you see your keyboard? Does your keyboard have LED Lights so you know which keys you are pressing? In terms of health, do you ever suffer from headaches or eye pain? How regular do you take breaks away from screens to help overcome this problem? Edited February 12, 2019 by xXInfectedXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra92 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I could play in the dark as my keyboard and mouse both light up, but like many of you it hurts my eyes lol. So I at least have some light in the room. I don't like watching TV in the dark either for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I generally play at night but have a little bit of light so that it's not too dark in the room I'm playing games in. You probably are already aware of this, but watching TV/playing games in the dark is terrible for your long-term eyesight. Like you said as well, I tend to get headaches if I'm playing in a pitch black room. So, yeah, I tend to play video games in a room with a little bit of light.

Jayson Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I like gaming in the dark. It's so much cooler. Anyway, I can also see the buttons (for consoles). However, though, for web surfing, a totally dark room can sometimes be a problem - because, despite advanced typing skills, I can't see as well.

egghead Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I need light not only while playing on my PC but also on mobile device. Even though you may not need light while playing on a mobile device, I do not like getting stuck in darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
