MY LONGEST GAMING SESSION

in #hive-1516624 months ago

If I had to give a time duration, then it would last hours, far too long hours, that it would either seem untrue or maybe wasteful.

Back then, i had the time. I'm still a pro at the game but these days, i can not really go through with plaaying for so long. Last time, this hear, when i was on my shift and played the PES-5(sweet sontin), i slept so late, i almost missed out on my job for the next day and that would have been a disaster.

Movies are a regular at my house, and because I come from a big house with more males than females in addition to most of them being my elders and us having to accommodate some other cousins plus friends, someway, we needed a ground for mutual interest based on entertainment.And ,movies it was.

My elder siblings would always get CDs after CDs of different genres of films with the most being action and foreign intelligence, which, as we know, guys tend to swiftly gravitate towards. And as common knowledge, these movies weren't a one-time kind. They usually had many seasons with episodes. And I tell you for a fact that all we needed was constant supply, and we could go all day at a stretch to see episodes and seasons back-to-back. Although this is true, I still do not think that I spent more time in this field.
No thanks to decoders and the silent replacement of CDs, we don't watch so many movie series. There's our phones and laptops to do all that, but I barely have that much time.

For me, what got me so hooked was video games, Pes, and winning eleven. That was back then. This easily is of interest to most guys, and with a full house, it took nothing for one or a few persons to contribute, get the game set, and get it all rolling. It was fun. Frankly, I have played for more than seven hours at a stretch, that's especially in the times when there weren't too many other guys waiting impatiently for their turn.

It got to some point, and some of us had to buy our own game pads. We'd have friends from the neighborhood cone around to play, too. There was always a gathering of guys at my home then. I recall myself and my immediate younger brother playing until hours past midnight. It was like an addiction that I don't know how I overcame.

There was a time when I would even subconsciously set my hand like I was holding unto a pad and playing the fame. It did not help that I was good and easily got a turn that lasted hours. Sometimes, myself and a sibling would play from evening through to 4am in the morning without realizing how far spent time had gone, and then we'd go to bed, wake up, and resume again. It was a marathon.

What an unhealthy marathon that was 😂. But I feel you. Mine was mostly Anime that kept me awake for that long.

I see.
We indulge in one thing or another that literally takes hours that seemed like minutes before we realize what's happening😅

That’s the thing with games. You start and you don’t know how time even flew by so fast. Wait, you said you’ve overcome the addiction? Please put me on however you did that.

There's no step-by-step procedure to it. I just became busy with other things. And with mobile gaming seeming to be the thing then, i just didn't get involved. I don't do mobile gsming. It just happened. I still play, but not for that long.
