As someone who is a self described “gaming enthusiast” I often find myself confronted by the stories of people who have gone too far with their interaction with video games. I am very aware of the destructive nature these things can have, and when asked about how do I avoid letting myself from being pulled in I tell people that I try to make sure I make sure I stay grounded in reality. I’m not talking about blurring a games reality with my own a la Tom Hanks, but about keeping perspective that they are just games. Remember that there’s a pause button, using the pause button, and if I’m going to play something without a pause feature that real life takes precedence if something wants my attention. To keep myself grounded to the people I know in “meat space” that they are quite literally my reality.
