Steering Through the Digital Whirlwind: Balancing Social Media and Gaming Habits

in #hive-1516622 months ago

There are a lot of digital guilty pleasures that every one surely have no matter what and jumping on this digital prompt which is my digital guilty pleasure, I will personally say that I have a few which I always do, and not that they are not too productive but the fact that I enjoy doing them and I see them as part of enjoyment and entertainment for me. I will just start with the first one which I always do most times, it is going into social media and lost in it initially when I thought I will just see few things and leave there and it all starts with Facebook videos.

I am the type of person that loves musical content and whenever I click on musical content on Facebook, after watching it to the end, it will surely bring more videos that I will feel interested in watching and for me to start it I will surely want to finish then from musical content I don't use to know when I will switch to watching comedy skit on that platform and the funniest thing is that when I will eventually realize that I just want to spend few minutes there, I can see that I would have used over two hours there. Not to even talk about TikTok short videos and Instagram Reels, I will say anytime I enter into it, I always end up using hours there.

Another part of me that I will say I usually do is play online games and for me to be addicted to the game then it must have been a football game and there is this special football game that I love playing most must have heard about it, mobile PES football which is also known as e-football, I love the graphics of the game and the way they design the game, it looks so real even on the mobile phone and I love the upgrade which they did in the game which is the transfer of players and the rest, When I decide to play a game, I will end up playing like 5 matches and with that, time has gone and that is when I realize I have used over hours on the game and anything I wanted to do initially can later be postponed because I have used more time doing other things online. Gradually I know I am adjusting a bit not to be carried away anytime I am on social media.

Lol. I know when it comes to gaming, it is quite easy to get addicted. You can spend your entire day there and only realize how much time has been spent when the day comes to an end. I trust you know how to keep the balance.😃

What about you, do you also get addicted to game?

I can relate to being addicted to video games. I still enjoy playing games, but I prefer playing them on my PlayStation rather than on my phone.

You wont even know when the time is gone. lol

You guys actually do well to have the tiktok app on your phones, knowing very well how addictive it could be. I don’t know what will make me download TikTok but never say never, lol.

it's just for entertainment actually, it must have done something bad for you, lol

Not really, never had it

Online games, i can say is my best most free time moment. But mobile ps is not as intresting as play it on Tv especially when you are playing with a friend, and already beating the friend also.

Mobile game also get interesting when you play online with friends
