Do you guys play video games?

Bbbbbbbbbbb

It’s hard to find time. I really enjoyed Elden Ring though. It’s always fun to immerse yourself in the world of a well crafted RPG

I go crazy hard on Apex Legends on PS5, currently in Masters iii on ranked

Hardly have time for it anymore. Same as you with fond memories. Haven’t played on a weekly basis since I started my career. I’ve lost a lot interest in gaming now and don’t get anywhere near as much enjoyment as I used to - pretty sad to think about

Maybe not technically a video game but I’ve really been getting into online chess. It’s super convenient and helps you become a more strategic thinker. Best part is if you’re on a time crunch, there’s a bullet chess mode where each player only has 1 minute for their moves and if they exceed time they lose. The max a game can last is 2 mins.

PC multiplayer gaming - instead of watching tv I’ll play this. Currently playing a lot of Hell Let Loose (WW2 game), steeper learning curve than your COD/Apex, but more rewarding IMO.  Definitely time on the weekends, sometimes free time during the week

Early days of COVID in 2020 were nice because I was able to consistently play Warzone for a few months in a row after work at night to unwind.  As everyone's schedules became unpredictable again, it hasn't happened...think it's been a year plus a few months since I've played.

Also didn't help that I was dogshit.

fall guys is the way

I play league of legends

I played tonnes of pc games growing up (Age of Empires, Half Life, etc) and got into Dota2 massively during uni, to the point that my grades suffered. Didn't play much during my first year out of uni, but with covid I built a new rig and rediscovered gaming. I think it is a great way to engage the brain, get in the zone and completely switch off from day to day. That's why I still enjoy it for an hour or two every night. For me it is a great escape and pressure release valve. Comparable activities (in terms of what it achieves for me mentally) like playing squash or futsal are not convenient things to do at 9pm.

But balance in all things, I don't miss out on a workout or sleep to game. 

yeah Fifa and CS GO after work if nothing else lined up. and when between projects or on a slow project, I sometimes pick up a new game, like RDR2 or Witcher and play offline campaign.

I play age of empires 2 and a runescape pvp private server pretty hardcore lmao. Still end up having enough time to manage my job well, work on my startup, do tons of socials with friends, and work out. 

I really like playing the new Mount and Blade. It’s still in early access but it’s so much fun to run around and make your own medieval kingdom. Best thing is there’s no story or objectives but still pretty clear path to running your own kingdom- it’s pretty easy to play casually.

AFK old school runescape while working from home

I don’t play games anymore. Used to some years back. I don’t have anything against them though. I just spend so much time looking at screens already that video games became less enjoyable, and I found that gaming at night made it hard for me to wind down for bed

Old but good. The Darkness 2.

I play Apex 2-3 times a week with a group of 4-5 friends from around the country.  I'd mostly played FIFA and COD throughout my 20s then picked up Apex right before the pandemic.  During early COVID it became one of the only social outlets we had and now it's just a great way to keep up with friends who live elsewhere.  It's a surprisingly great hobby for some of my friends with young kids - the kids are asleep by 830 or so and it doesn't require leaving the house.   I basically never play games solo anymore - I just don't find it as enjoyable.  

Used to game a lot when I was younger but these days I really only enjoy sim racing (fun to turn your brain off and send it around your favorite tracks) and occasionally some CS GO with some old friends. CS still has that old school FPS feel that newer FPS games just don't have anymore. Also, recently enjoying the new F1 Manager game. Never really enjoyed real time strategy games as a kid, but maybe I'll start getting into more of them since you can play them solo and they seem pretty relaxing … I guess I'm getting old haha.

Madden is the best. Haven’t played it ina couple years but man I miss it

I enjoy playing video games a lot like Ampire the masquerade console commands. And as long as it doesn't interfere with important aspects of my life, my position is the same as with any interest. I don't think it's good for my buddies to stay in their rooms for entire days at a time.

However, I would have a problem with working 10 hours on the weekends because I enjoy going out. And you're working more hours than I would consider healthy in general.

I enjoy playing games myself. When we're apart, my SO and I will occasionally play co-op games together.

I did, however, date someone who was a gaming addict years ago. Every day, he would play for 10 to 12 hours. It got to the point where I would simply visit his apartment after class and sit back and watch him play video games until we went to bed. At that point, he was typically too exhausted for sex.

I've always been a gamer. However, time management is extremely important to me. I don't game as much as I used to in high school, and I'd have serious reservations about dating a guy who spends the majority of his free time playing video games. =P I'm an artist who enjoys being outside. That is significant to me. And if he doesn't want to go out, there's no deal!

Dota 2, CS Go

Sometimes I hop on WoW just to run around nostalgic zones, fly in orgrimmar and listen to the soundtrack

Once in a while Xbox.

I don't play games anymore as it doesn't give me the satisfaction it use to. I wish I could immerse myself in a game like runescape again (clocked in atleast half my youth on it). I think it's a great alternative for killing time vs scrolling mindlessly on social media ie. tiktok, insta. 

I’ve got COD mobile on my phone. Its like crack. Once I hit 150 I’m deleting it. Its been a solid reminder as to why I’ve never purchased a video game system.

Me and my buddies have a year long running smash bros board.  We do seasons where basically every quarter is a season of who can rack up the most wins against each other.  Winner gets an entire night so dinner and going out covered by the rest of us.  I think we all played close to 500 games together last quarter.  

I can't call myself a "fanatic" but I love playing CSGO. I probably enjoy surfing in it the most. The core of all CS:GO surfing can safely be called strafe and the ability to maintain speed. The bottom line is that the user must learn to control these two aspects. In order to start surfing, it is worth choosing a server to play on. I chose it here. The core of all surfing in CS:GO can safely be called strafe and the ability to keep the speed. The point is that the user must learn to control these two aspects

Hey there! It's understandable that as life gets busier, finding time for video games can be challenging. Many of us can relate to the nostalgia and joy of playing games with friends. Balancing various activities and responsibilities can be tough, but it's all about finding a personal balance that works for you.

I introduced many guys to my fav video game at the time, but 2 guys were special cases -

One guy was my roommate and best friend at school. Was a top student and was doing his A Levels and undergrad on a prestigious scholarship by a blue chip corporation which guaranteed him a job at the corporation following undergrad. So the next 10 years of his life was set. I introduced him to the game, he got addicted to the balls, spent all his days gaming, skipped classes and school especially over the pandemic when standards were more lax cuz online everything. Now he's flunked outta uni, and assuming that the corporation hasn't been merciful and set him up in another university, he's hundreds of thousands in debt. Now he probably games all day

The other guy is my cousin. I introduced him to the game, he got hooked to the balls. Games 24/7. Over the pandemic he didn't attend a single online class. When school reopened he just didn't return at all because he was 2 entire years behind. Not to mention he was a weak student to begin with (he was placed in the 'special needs' classes in primary school, and had to repeat a year of high school lol). Now he's 17 and games all day. He worked a couple months at his parents' business but the other business partner (his aunt) fired him due to incompetence. Now he games all day at home

Just CSGO because I never like to relax

Yes I love the dark souls games !

I used to be a God at NBA 2K. Now I'm 24 and don't have time to go grocery shopping... But I'll make an exception to cut my sleep hours from 7 to 5 hours if a new RPG drops like God of War or Red Redemption. 

Hi there. It's a great way to relax and have a good time. Personally, I find some time in the evenings or on weekends to squeeze in a gaming session. It's all about finding the right balance and figuring out what's important to you. Oh, and speaking of games, have you ever tried Genshin Impact? It's pretty cool.

I’m 24 and could not feel comfortable wasting my time playing video games. We already have so little time in finance.

I have a girlfriend, don’t work out as much as I should, nor do I read as much as I should. There are more pressing things - things I’d rather do. And if I didn’t had a girlfriend it would be super pathetic for me to waste time on the Xbox when I could be going to the box getting box. Too many incels in the industry

what's the best iPhone games

Looking forward to the new Spider-Man 2 this year

I totally get where you're coming from! Life has a way of filling up with responsibilities, and sometimes the hobbies we used to love take a backseat. I was a huge gamer in my younger days, but like you, between work and all the other life commitments, it's tough to find time.
