Does anyone have problems with playing video games for hours on end without stopping every day?

I have always played video games since I was young. I am now 31.

Currently I probably play 3 hours average per day plus 4-5 at weekends.  I can become incredibly invested.

Time just seems to pass by very quickly and I only really stop because my partner tells me to. 

Anyone experience this?  Is it good? Or is it bad?

Cheers

  • I've played since i was 8.  Im 42 now.  I would play to escape, now a days....i have to do other things but......luckily i have a partner who knows i need to escape sometimes.  I could easily sink 8 hours a day into it, maybe more.  I dont though, i have other hobbies on a physical level that i get pulled towards now, but im either gaming or doing hobbies.....or the dishes.....
