Is gaming a detriment to my studies? (1 Viewer)

[Houjuunue]

Hi all now that my HSC is this year and I really need to start getting serious with my studies I was wondering if I should halt playing video games as I’m an avid gamer. I’m trying to achieve a 95+ star and wondered if gaming should be cut out my life for this time being. So what are your thoughts? Maybe I count fit in a few hours on the weekend or should I work to completely cut?

if gaming is a social activity for you then id still spend a few hours doing that with your friends, but if ur just sitting alone playing league of legends or something it’ll probably just make you a better person to quit anyway

Its best to just drop it for this year but you could also use it as motivation to lock in during the week and then play for an hour or two as a reward on the weekends

what if you have no self control, should i delete all games?

are you kidding me. Just keep gaming you need to engage with things you love or you'll go mad trust me. Im pretty sure I watched at least 2 hours of kdrama a day during year 12 and i still got an atar of 80+. Please do not cut out stuff you like to do otherwise you will literally lose it.

^ Don't cut it out - games aren't inherently bad & you'll go crazy if you don't stick to things that keep you going, just don't make anything in games a priority like "damn I need to hit this rank" or whatever
