Default You may soon suffer from gaming disorder

ICD (and in the US: DSM) are manuals that standardise the use of special medical and psychological terminology, listing criteria/symptoms that must be fulfilled to name the complex by a given diagnosis term. The intention was originally to make international research and science communication comparable, later interaction with health insuring companies became another big use (where it already started to derail, imo).

Oh I suffer alright. My gameplays are most disorderly, me never doing what the designers want me to do. Panzer General 2 was never the same after clearing the frontline with a scout car... I need help.

I quit playing internet games and concentrate on the far more important and productive activity of model railroading. I much better feel...

the APA created a list of nine standard symptoms that could determine “internet gaming disorder”. These symptoms include anxiety, withdrawal symptoms and antisocial behavior....The wording of the gaming disorder hasn’t been revealed yet.

Best thing I ever did was to stop playing video games years ago. More time to read books listen to music and go out for a nice walk.

Now you sound old, man. Really old.

Get a VR set. Its a fountain of youth.

Serious, my taste for games has changed, and much of the efforts I put into it time ago, I do no longer put into it anymore. But what I do, I still enjoy a smuch as 20 years ago, nmostly realistic racing. And this morning I did my first dive into orienting myself inside a B737 cockpit - in real 3D.

Completely new ball game. I found almost nothing, now that the panels stretch above and beside and below me, everywhere. After the PMDG 737 in 2D, I thought I would know where what is. But then , I havent flown since years, so that may serve as my excuse.
