Maximum amount of hours to play videogames per day, /adv/? I

First of all, what is your max free time you have on average per week.
I would hope you are in school or have a job, and if not go get one.

>does it cut into your life and things youre supposed to be doing in a way that ultimately lowers your overall quality of life.

Its too many video games. Cut back. Prioritize.

>Is your life otherwise fine and youre up to speed on both things you have to do and things you care to do?

It is not too many video games. Your life. Do whatever you want.

I would recommend that you split your free time in half: half for video games, half for friends and other hobbies and interests.

If you don't have friends, that's OK, but if you don't have other hobbies and interests, please try to cultivate some. It may take some effort, but it's worth it.

One of the reasons that video games can be so tricky long term is that they give an artificial sense of accomplishment because you're always "progressing" in some way: they aren't passive like TV or movies. So it gives the false sense that you're being constructive in your time, whereas it's not quite the same as actually being constructive like learning an instrument or getting in shape or studying a foreign language or something.

Nothing wrong with video games, just make sure you also do other things to be a well rounded, interesting person.

Have fun!

Video games are a childish hobby, and you should look to replace them with anything else at all.

Different fag but:
Thats honestly all I need. Even on weekends ill wake up on my own after 6-7hrs.

Some people have different needs. It especially goes down as you get older.

Yeah.

Like I said, its retail.
Somedays walks in, and I'm working shipping/receiving. I tag hundreds and hundreds of shoes for hours. Don't need to be sharp minded to do that.
