I seem to have a problem with moderating myself when it comes to playtime on Video Games, How do you keep yourself from just endlessly playing games?

    How do you enjoy playing video games endlessly when life is passing you by, skills are going unlearnt and passions undiscovered?

      @kttnpunk I think it’s because I’ve had a lot of issues in my past and not many people want me around in life so that’s a stuggle, So I end up doing the only thing that seems to want me, what is Video Games.

      I have a passion in Video Editing that I’m trying to replace some of my Video Game habits with, my first day of attending to do some and then game for a round or so and then back to editing went pretty good, hopefully I can get to the stage I just work on projects instead of gaming all the time.

      Video games are experiences. I feel like I live to experience different experiences. It’s all the sources of entertainment media and art all crafted in one experience.

      Not learning some skill isn’t a big deal. There’s a number of skills I have developed but then dropped for several years. Only to come back and feel like I have to start from scratch again. You then learn that not all of your time needs to be devoted to a skill that has limited value in return.

      Video games can also be a passion to some.
