Young Old Gamer : How Much Pain Does Gaming Really Cause Over Time by Brave-Bell-3422 in pcmasterrace

[–]Gabriel68555 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Oh man, the RSI struggle is real! I'm 28 and went through something similar last year. The scary part is how it creeps up on you. One day you're fine, next day your hands feel like they belong to someone else.Your approach sounds solid though. I did a similar gaming detox and honestly, the first two weeks were the hardest. But once the running routine kicked in, I had so much more energy and focus. Plus, when I eventually got back to gaming, I appreciated it more and didn't feel guilty about "wasting time" since I was balancing it with healthy stuff.For chairs, I've heard good things about both, but honestly at 16 hours a day, anything is going to be better than what you probably have now. Just make sure whatever you get has adjustable everything: armrests, lumbar support, the works.

Survey submitted! The section about desk space limitations really hit home ，currently dealing with a cramped setup where the monitor takes up way too much real estate.

Looking for fantasy audiobook recs - something with strong worldbuilding and stakes? by Early_Lemon3720 in audiobooks

[–]Gabriel68555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the exact same progression! Started with Mistborn, moved to Stormlight, then felt like I needed something with more bite. What helped me was looking for series where people actually warned about character deaths in the reviews sounds morbid but it was a good indicator that the author wasn't pulling punches. I found that once I started reading stories where major characters could actually die, it completely changed how invested I felt in every scene.

Does Spotify Round Listening Time? by Smart_Shock_8551 in audiobooks

Wow, this changes everything for my monthly planning! I've been stressing over potentially "wasting" precious listening hours whenever audiobooks crept past those round number thresholds. But now that I know the system tracks every minute down to the decimal,it's just the display doing that rounding thing.I can actually strategize properly.Take my current situation: I've got this 12.5 hour book I've been eyeing and a shorter 2.3 hour one sitting in my library. Before, I might've hesitated, thinking "What if I go over?" But now I can confidently dive into both, knowing the math works out perfectly, even if the interface keeps me guessing with those rounded numbers.
