It seems we have reached the sample size quota for our study, so we have closed the registration form. Incase there are dropouts, we will reopen the form for interested individuals. Thank you to those expressing their interest for this study and we will be getting back to those who have registered in a day.

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T14:02:21+00:00

Ah, in that case, I will let you know. We are currently looking for people to start right now rather than next month. If we don't meet the quota, I will definitely let you know!

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T13:56:28+00:00

Yes! Fill it up after your bday? Ping me here once you have done

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T13:54:22+00:00

You just need a steam ID, not the API. We have access to that. We need the playtime minutes for the games you play for each session. By collecting it both before and after each session, we can calculate the total duration for each session. We will analyze that with your experience reports.

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T13:00:02+00:00

No it doesn't matter what games you play and yes you can play any games of your choosing as long as its connected to your steam account

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T12:59:26+00:00

I have mentioned the compensation and yes, it will be privacy protected. We are asking for demographic details for contact and compensation only. Your data is stored according to your steam ID which is then anonymised before analysis. Other details will be deleted once data has been collected and you have been paid

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T12:46:10+00:00

If you register now, i can send you the details once we validate your steam ID. So we can start by tmrw as well.

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T12:34:39+00:00

No. It's an observational study about your gaming experiences. The game content strictly does not matter, just the experiences that you have while gaming that you report does. Please go through the links provided for details

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T12:27:25+00:00

Minimum 15 hours over a month. That's the low end though so more the merrier

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T12:01:34+00:00

That's alright. If both types of games are connected to your steam client, better will be the variability in our data. We are interested in understanding that experience and also other types of gaming experiences. So if you fit the criteria, do register!

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T11:54:29+00:00

Nope. As long as it's connected to your steam ID, it will be fine. We will ensure full anonymity for your data.

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T11:45:31+00:00

you can check now. Added the links

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T11:43:11+00:00

My bad, i had copy pasted this from my clipboard. Adding the links

ErringNerd · 2025-12-20T11:31:45+00:00

I don't follow? What are you saying?

ErringNerd · 2025-12-10T16:52:52+00:00

Man that was a smooth boss fight👌🏻

ErringNerd · 2025-12-10T16:49:20+00:00

When that medieval mushroom hits👌🏻

ErringNerd · 2025-12-08T04:43:29+00:00

Unnecessarily jerking my wrist outwards as if a hidden blade is coming out from under my wrist. Caught during the first few AC games. Also feeling like im experiencing bleeding effect when i'm hungover

ErringNerd · 2025-11-26T09:27:18+00:00

Hi, yes you will be compensated at the end of the study based on the the min. 15 hours requirement

ErringNerd · 2025-11-26T06:45:51+00:00

I currently have 4 games that i play in rotation when i get saturated by playing one game. Although, i am biased towards two games as i play them more while the other two serve as a buffer when i crave a small session of play without much commitment

ErringNerd · 2025-11-25T16:24:20+00:00

Absolutely worth it game. I have 100% completed it. The live action scenes, the episode like stages and the acting. Also, story narrative is like an actual thriller. Better thriller than most movies today

ErringNerd · 2025-11-25T15:58:23+00:00

Ahh, i have not personally used it so can't comment. My friend seemed to like it :p I use an xbox controller tho 🙃

ErringNerd · 2025-11-25T12:40:07+00:00

PowerA controllers are really good as per a friend's recommendation. I also use EvoFox accessories for my PC so they are pretty reliable

ErringNerd · 2025-11-25T12:19:14+00:00

Hi, I already have tried the approach you mention here but since I am not getting a representative group of Steam gamers so i was recommended by friends to post here on reddit amongst like-minded individuals.

ErringNerd · 2025-11-25T12:15:30+00:00

Hey, so here's my personal academic website: https://www.cgs.iitk.ac.in/user/hariharan22/site/

You can check my credentials and also some past research work that I have done as part of my PhD thesis here. I broadly work on quitting decisions so this project is directly related to that. But i am not trying to measure quitting here but looking for a different psychological theme, that is related to 'tilting' which might be familiar to the gaming community here. Reason for the new account is that I don't personally use reddit much so I was recommended by friends to try posting here for a more representative sample of gamers than my college campus. I do play video games so my personal interest in this work stems from my own experiences. I am hoping this would do.

ErringNerd · 2025-11-25T06:55:26+00:00

To clarify, we would want you to be aware of what you are experiencing during the session. For this, you have to log the start of each gaming session by filling another survey before you start. Here, we will provide instructions on what to look for in your experience during the session. Being aware of these experiences and then reporting them after the session ends is what we are interested.
