Thread: How many hours a day do you spend gaming?

Zero.

When i was younger. 4 to 8 hours a day playing cs,lol,wow.

Its still addictive, played wow again 1 year ago and got hooked up. Uninstalled it just because it's a waste of time

After 20, i think your priorities should be different than leveling charachter.

I sure do miss the dopamine rush. Sometimes i just wanna install something and play all day

Weekdays now days, pretty much never unless it's something REALLY addicting like New World.

Weekends 4-8 hours a day now that I'm playing WoW again with the prepatch and shadowlands expansion. I've always main'd a frost DK since end of wotlk. But never really went through all of wotlk content.

Now with the revamped leveling experience I created a new frost DK that will be my main, that I am leveling in wotlk.

Thing is I used to actually love it for hours and hours a day, but now I'd rather just chill instead of going ham on the gaming.

Every time I am on for more than 45 mins it's like "wow, I am wasting my life"

Wasting it compared to what? Watching TV, doing some other hobby that isn't going to better your life, or socializing?

Don't pretend you're otherwise solving humanities or even your own problems daily lol.

Yeah i know that feel. I only play now among us on the Phone. But man i sure miss playing games when i think about it. Thing is i got Linux system on purpose so i cant really install games.

I am pretty sure i will buy ps5 in the future, playing games like gran turismo at night is a good feeling.

installed age of empires recently, havent played in like 10+ years. Nothing makes time go by faster than age of empires, start a game and look up at the clock and like 4 hours few by.

Average 1-2 hrs per day probably. Tfwnogf

I used to play 12 hours+ minimum all the way from 9th grade until college graduation

feelsbadman

getting old and having priorities change

IKR I remember 20 something me thinking, fukk that ill never stop gaming all the time. 30s me = meh.

Depends on the day. Weekdays could be 1 to 3. I've been averaging around 1 hour so far. Weekends I can do 5+ easy, but that's rare down since I don't want to blow the entire day. Sunday I only played 2 rounds of The Last of Us and turned off the system. With winter and PS5 coming those hours gonna get ramped back up. Will get up early and handle all my business on the weekends then game for 4+ hours Saturday/Sunday.


As long as I get the important things done, it makes no difference to me.

What games are you bros playing? (pc brahs)

This is what I hate about gaming. Makes time goes by, it's the reason I tone down the hours. That said, when I'm not gaming I'm not doing anything productive either.

On the weekends when PS5 comes out I'll game around 7am-10am, then hop back on at like 8pm. Everything in moderation really. When you get up early you can do more things.

then the real world happens and now its a chore to get online



right now it's just Apex, Catan, and Among Us (ayylmao)

just games where I can hop in for an hour session and feel accomplished

1-2 hours a day is nothing for something like OSRS or WoW

You can make time for anything if you want it bad enough, just like hitting the gym. What's stopping you from getting up early Sunday morning and playing for 3-4 hours? Unless you have toddlers, you can make time to game.

Ive found that its hard to get into gaming anymore on workdays. The weekend is when i can smoke/drink and then i can easily play all weekend

When I was a kid I would play every free hour I could muster. Otherwise I'd be watching TV.

Now a days, I'll play Skyrim for anywhere between 1-3 hours at a time, get bored, do something else, and then maybe play again another 1-2 hours.

Depends on the day really, but pretty rare that it's more than a couple hours unless I am really into a game and have nothing to do.

Now like 4-6. Used to be 8-10 in peak BF3 days though.

pre covid: played 4 or 5 days a week for a total of 5 to 10 hours a week

during covid: everyday, 2 hours a day, and this will likely go up in winter
