Video Game Addiction

I feel like many people from Gen Z dismiss this as not being a thing, where this is a very serious issue.

I've definitely dealt with video game addiction. I had it mostly under control by the time I decided to sell my ps4. I'll likely return to video games one day, but for now I just have bigger goals and not enough to show for it. When I'm finished my education and have a source of income I'll likely work it into my week to a small degree.

I agree, it can turn into a big time sink, while in fact you’re not getting anything back for your efforts, it’s just entertainment, and it can install some really bad habits.

Yeah I think there is a happy medium where you can just play a little bit each week or whenever. I used the KitchenSafe timed lock box to keep them locked up, but I found that I wasn't playing from a place of genuine entertainment and instead just used it as an escape.
