Ps4, escaping real life (trigger warning: gaming addiction)

Just thought seen as I made a book thread, I would make a ps4 or games thread!.. I discovered how much I love playing ps4 last year! I play it regularly. I am still discovering how to work around it, have no idea how to play live and connect with people! Anyone love playing a console because I find it helps me escape :two_hearts:

I’m left-handed and love having my guitars around. Haven’t played too much over the last 2 years as I’ve been so busy, but couldn’t imagine not having one.
The biggest initial hurdle (apart from keeping the bugger in tune) is the gap between the strings and the frets! Once you get used to the unfamiliar aches and pains of holding down chords on a guitar with a ‘high action’, which your guitar will probably have, you can get used to the awkwardness of learning scales, and noticing the ends of your fingers hardening up and having less feeling in them!
Depending upon how much time you’re willing to invest per day, and with the huge amount of free help you can get on Youtube, one day you’ll amaze yourself!

We have a PS4 and 2 XB1 I don’t play often but I do enjoy playing when I get on there.
I find that it’s another addiction for me when I start tho. It used to be bad which is why I had to stop playing for so long. These days I can get on and playa bit and then not play for a while.
Before I would literally play from sun up to sun down🤦🏽‍♀️
While drinking.

Avid gamer here. Always have been since my teens, 40 now and still going. Had any amount of consoles and pcs over the years.

I enjoy them, great for anxiety and love escaping in to a story. Play a lot of different games from hard to easy. Just finished the new Spiderman Monday gone sona few hours gone in to that.

It’s an interest also for me, I don’t have many :joy::joy:

Yep, they are really good, cheesy as hell but that’s what’s great :rofl:
