Is it normal to use my pc 8+ hrs a day

I play on my gaming PC eight or more hours a day. I have a job, but I'm on whenever I'm not working. I lost my gf because "You spend more time with that computer than you do with me." She was a slag anyways

    Well, I know it's bad but it is normal to me. I don't play though.
    I spend every minute I can on my computer. I regularly fall asleep in front of it.
    I do it at work as well. I'd say I spend about 12 hours+ on my computer or phone on average.

    Well I mean

    4 hours? I can understand
    5? Alot, but manageable
    8? No stop your eyes will become rectangular from looking at the screen.

          I've gotten serious neck issues, and I don't play nearly as much as you.

        Well, whore or not, eight hours playing video games everyday is a lot. I don't know you or your girlfriend personally so I'm curious here. You call her a slag and a whore so naturally I want to know did she cheat on you? To be completely honest when a person spends as much time playing video games as you say you are it would be almost guaranteed that such a person's partner would feel neglected, because that is a form of neglect.

        I think playing video games for so many hours would be a deal breaker for a lot of people unless you found someone who was also a gamer.

        • She really hated and verbally abused my dog. I would set up romantic dates often, and she didn't care in the slightest. She'd often go out for hours never responding to any texts. I've got piss poor memory so I can't remember the rest, but I know there was more

            Thanks for your response. Excessive video game playing or not, you had me at, "She really hated and verbally abused my dog." Seriously, forget that skank-whore!

            Any stupid bitch that doesn't treat your dog right isn't worth your time, my animal lover brother. My Siamese cat is my best pal, and he's so much more loyal than anyone I've ever dated. He's probably the only animal I've ever referred to as doting, and he's sitting on my lap chillin like a villain right now as I write this. Never put up with a woman who treats your dog or cat poorly!

            I personally don't care to date anyone who isn't an animal lover, I don't care if he's handsome or rich or whatever, cause if he doesn't like my cat, or cats and dogs in general he ain't worth my time, emotions, affection and he damn sure ain't worth my hot monkey love!

  • LOL she was a slag anyways. Dude do what ya want in your free time. If you want to come home and do nothing but sit on the pc, well more power to ya.

    Prob should get a 20min to half an hour jog in everyday though just to keep the old ticker ticking

    What is a slag? And you probably are one. Your girl was likely right to leave. Go out and experience the world outside of the internet and games.

      So I guess the only answer to computer problems is gaying outside and gayxploring the gayworld.

    8+ hours are a bit much. No wonder your gf left you. She figured you loved gaming more than her. Slow down and find something else to do or join the real world and quit. What would you rather do? Play on your computer or play with a gf? Never mind, don't answer that!!
