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?

    I can maybe squeeze in an hour of gaming every third day if I am efficient (work and household stuff) and lucky. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just there are many games I want to experience so I have to be very selective.

      For me, it’s that a game is a big time and energy investment. I’m hesitant to jump in.

        @kandoh That’s what I’m normally like for bigger games but then I always find some game that can just fill up my time to the point I’ve paid twice the amount of time the ‘Big’ game would have.

          I had this happen with me for Hearthstone. It’s so easy and quick to play that it ends up taking up a huge chunk of time.

          Once I stopped playing it though, nothing else could really fill the void. So my playtime decreased and never really recovered
