Forums - Gaming - The biggest problem with gaming!

Chazore on 05 August 2016

Not really much of an issue for me.

I just stop playing or pause the game while I eat something, either that or play a few cutscenes if possible to watch while I eat. There were a few times in the past where I asked a friend to take over playing while I went to go grab something I was already cooking, but nothing in terms of "take this while I go get something to eat".



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

You need to practice your foot-to-mouth work. You should be able to handle a fork with your feet, but getting it to your mouth is the hard part.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I use my Rocket League "hopefully my wrists won't fall off this time"-breaks to eat.

I never eat and play video games. My problem is I don't have the time of day to be playing video games.

Anyway, gaming biggest problem is that it has been lacking LoD since it graced us with the original.
That's an actual, very concerning problem!

Nowadays there are a lot of games that have a pretty good implementation for level of detail. You must be thinking of No Man's Sky.

Is your friend Arab? :P

Some arabs can't go a day without shisha

No he is Asian as in Pakistani. In the UK, Shisha has taken of hugely amongst the Muslim community. In a way it is like going baring but it is Halal since there is no alcohol. We have about a dozen Shisha places in my city. All of them are fully kitted out with flat screens, mocktails, amazing desserts, huge variety of Shisha flavours with pineapple heads, frozen pipes, apple heads etc. Shisha has become so big in the UK (at least the city that I am from), you have have many native British going as well. Since we cannot smoke in doors anymore, Shisha cafes solve that gap since you can smoke and have shisha.

I also do shisha at home, but I am barred from doing it in the living room. I have burnt the carpet twice. Once it was when I got excited and beat my friend, I yanked the pipe and it fell over. The second time it was my wife who got scared when I made her play Outlast in the dark with the headphones on and she kicked the coffee table so hard, she knocked the shisha over. I miss having Shisha when gaming. You can do it without being interrupted by just keeping the pipe in your mouth lol

Why don't you get a special mat to prevent potential burns?

 

Also, nice to see Muslims known for something besides terrorism :P Hookah stores are growing like crazy. never thought the west would like it so much

Would've agreed with you 10, 15, 20 years ago, but these days I don't game nearly as much so not as much of an issue. Even when I'm deep into a game I don't really have a problem stopping for life stuff/so that I keep on living.



Don't ruin the moment

Currently Playing: Rocket League (PC/PS4), Dead Cells (PC)

What kind of games are you playing where you can't eat while playing? Actually, even stranger, what kind of games do you need someone else to take over for you while you have a food break? Do you not have a pause button or something?

I'm like this with a lot of things. When I'm in the zone in in there and don't like doing anything else. This often leads to the wife asking for things, me saying yes and then having no recollection of her asking for anything and me having agreed to anything lol
