I seem to have a problem with moderating myself when it comes to playtime on Video Games, How do you keep yourself from just endlessly playing games?

      I can maybe squeeze in an hour of gaming every third day if I am efficient (work and household stuff) and lucky. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just there are many games I want to experience so I have to be very selective.

        For me, it’s that a game is a big time and energy investment. I’m hesitant to jump in.

            I had this happen with me for Hearthstone. It’s so easy and quick to play that it ends up taking up a huge chunk of time.

            Once I stopped playing it though, nothing else could really fill the void. So my playtime decreased and never really recovered

        That’s nothing to feel guilty about as long as you’re not neglecting trying to find a job and self improvement. Your 20s are rough, all opportunities available are pretty shitty and exploit your energy and inexperience. Videogames are a great way to stay sane during this.
