Stop Before Its Too Late: Gaming Mistakes That Are Harmful

Gaming is a very fascinating activity. You do not need to be a part of a team or a clan in order to be called a gamer. However, at times this passion can turn into something more harmful and affect you negatively. Avoiding these gaming mistakes will help you keep a sane mind while playing games.

Playing Games Obsessively

How many times has this happened that you've been playing games and lost in it? Hours pass but for you, it felt like minutes. It's true that some studies have shown certain video games can improve hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills and the mind's ability to process information. However, playing too much video game may cause problems.

Overdoing video games could also affect other important things like friendships. People who play violent video games might act more aggressively. Everyone has a limit of productivity. Playing beyond that time limit will make your productivity level go down. Four hours a day of gaming is more than enough for a basic gamer and six hours of gaming is more than enough for a competitive gamer. Don't overdo it.

Stop Playing Games for Fun

Most of the people just play games for fun or to pass their time but that's not how you do it. Instead of just playing games you can record your gameplay, edit them funnily and upload them on YouTube. If you manage to make some money from playing games then your parents will allow you to freely play a game because it can make your carrier. Every loser will have a reason why he can't do that but in reality unless or until you have a pc, you can do make videos. If you are doing something make sure you do it for a cause not just to pass the time.

Sensitivity Stuff

This is important for competitive gamers. There are three types of gamers, first are those who are going to play games with default sensitivity, second are those who are going to play different games on different sensitivity and the third type of people are those who will play all the games on ridiculously high sensitivity.

Sensitivity is the most important factor that's going to decide how good you are going to play. If you play more than one fps game then you should make sure that sensitivity between them is the same. What it means is every time you move the mouse, the camera in the game in all of your games should move the same distance. This will lead to consistency. That's why Shroud is good at every game he plays because his sensitivity does not change.

Gaming Non-Ergonomically

If you game for long hours, and you sit in the wrong way, it's going to result in fatigue or lifetime injury. Sitting or being in a good position is very important. Make sure that is back is not arched, and you take breaks between your gaming session. Let the blood flow through your body. Sitting in the same position for long hours can make you feel numb in the legs and this can also affect the strength that you might have in them. Also, don't rest your wrist at the edge of your table while playing with the mouse. This can do serious damage and your wrist can get owned.
