I do so naked. Wasn't really an issue until Pokémon go.

Posture:( I need to stretch more

HaloWhale t1_iubhsus wrote

I said the same thing. Stretching can help but it's only part of the solution. Gaming posture can lead to Upper-crossed syndrome (rounded forward shoulders, kyphosis, a hunched back, lack of t-spine mobility, tech neck, etc.) and lower crossed syndrom (weak core, tight hips, weak glutes, anterior pelvic tilt). To correct this you'll need to do 3 things 1 - strengthen the weakened muscles 2 - stretch the tight muscles 3 - change the habits that led to the issues Stretching by itself could lead to more issues, if you're stretching muscles that are already lengthened due to improper muscle length tension relationships and NO corrective work, will override continuing with poor daily posture.

Is there a nice, handy video or infographic you’ve used before? Seems like something like this would have it circulating somewhere

HaloWhale t1_iubwqqi wrote

I'm a trainer, so I compiled a lot of information into relative short message. There's lots of information on these subjects, but the main issues to look up are "upper crossed syndrome", "lower crossed syndrome", or "anterior pelvic tilt". You'll need to foam roll, stretch, and strength train depending on the exact issues that you're facing.

Hoarding everything even when I don't need it. Or button mashing in fighting games instead of learning combos.

Pacing the environment in case there’s hidden loot/doors. It’s the worst.

Mandrivnyk_703 t1_iubksc9 wrote

But when it does happens it feels the best. Even if the loot is shit and the door leads nowhere interesting

Exactly. Who cares if it's low level gear I might want to display it or have some weird attachment to it. Its an obsession

Always happen haha. On the opposite end, not reloading because you were expecting someone but then run out of bullets.

I care too much about my performance in pvp specifically! I expect to win almost every fight and it's just not reasonable. I get frustrated while doing this to the point where I'm not even having fun, even if I have a good game. I recently decided to take a break from pvp games because of this.

spider-bro t1_iubk0ld wrote

I’ve gone the opposite direction. Somehow I got a lot less attached to outcomes in pvp games and it’s so much more fun.

I play Halo with a friend and he’s not having fun unless we’re winning. I just enjoy the challenge and the flow of the game. He gets so frustrated, and we usually have to switch to some PvE game just to keep him from having a heart attack.

iKyrax t1_iuboi9a wrote

I'm hoping with the break I'm taking I take it less seriously when I come back. I don't want to care as much as I do, but I can't help it.

I look up guides when a puzzle is slightly difficult, and in fighting games I just button mash

spider-bro t1_iubjlf9 wrote

I never stick with a game when the going gets tough.

A friend of mine, while we were growing up, had this rule from his mom: she wouldn’t buy him a new game or allow him to buy a new game until he proved to her that he had beaten the previous one.

Mofo has a wife and kids now, runs his own business, while I’m living in a bedroom with no bed.

They chew tobacco. Or more accurately, they stick tobacco between lip and gum while gaming and spit into a can or container.

jackknoops t1_iubbfz8 wrote

Depends on the night but sometimes I’ll have “lazy brain”. An example would be in a multiplayer game, I’m shooting someone and I know someone else is coming around the corner, and the best move would be to adjust my position but I keep shooting the first guy to get the kill.

Other nights I feel more locked in and make the smart choices

Sitting down too long.

I am older now, and when I sit for too long, my legs and feet swell sometimes. I gotta learn to break up those all night gaming sessions.

Cursing! 😂

ARboredgamer t1_iubf95z wrote

I have stopped cursing in front of my 4 year old except if something goes really wrong in a game. My wife can sometimes see it coming and give me a reminder to watch it. Especially since my daughter likes to play games too and sometimes gets frustrated by them.

StoryAndAHalf t1_iubia3x wrote

Powering through last quarter to third of the game (skipping side quests, skipping conversations), finishing it, then feeling bad that I didn’t enjoy the last portions of the game and now it’s too late. If only games were shorter or didn’t feel like they are overstaying their welcome with dragged out final acts.

Poor posture, late night gaming downing energy drinks and reloading after a single shot when there is limited ammo and no containers nearby for me to refill my total ammo count

Reloading like a motherfucker

I could know someone's right around the corner from me and have more then 2/3s of my magazine and still hit the reload button

BodiaDobia t1_iubqszg wrote

Funny thing, a long while back, I was playing cs:go and out of habit, I reloaded after a few shots and died. I remember a dude spectating me said "dude, this isnt call of duty" and that really got me thinking for a while.

Gigchip t1_iubg3yo wrote

Many things, reloading a gun after only shooting a few rounds. Over grinding arts of the game to where the rest of the game is too easy. Then complain the game was too easy. Or joining in a rpg game, then repairing armor, or crafting for a big battle, only to realize I ran out of time and have to get off lol.

Elegant_Spot_3486 t1_iubmdr9 wrote

Slouching in my chair. Bad posture. Nothing ergonomic about me while gaming.

SeraphiraMorana t1_iubmsyp wrote

Bad habit inside gaming would be hoarding. I will hunt down mods to be able to hoard and I try not to sell anything potentially useful.

Bad habit in real life when gaming. If I am absolutely loving it and like in a trance I will forget that I'm hungry. Then when I turn the game off I remember and stuff my face.

Another bad habit: taking a hit any time there’s a pause in the action.

Actually when I decided to only take a hit of weed between matches (not each time I died), it led to a decline in my smoking that eventually became zero smoking, ie I quit.
