Gaming is a lot of fun. Take it from me! I’ve played plenty of different games in my time, from single-player RPGs to full-blown multiplayer experiences. Kicking back and relaxing with a controller in hand is nothing short of cathartic, especially after a long week of work.

However, as fun as gaming can be, it’s not something that you’ll always enjoy. Sometimes, fun can even be difficult to find, especially when you’re not in the mood.

Thankfully, I have a few recommendations under my belt to make sure you’ll enjoy every second you’re behind the computer screen!

Game In Moderation 

The simplest is to just not play games too hard! As fun as gaming can be, staring at a computer screen all day can give you some real physical issues. Eye strain is a very common occurrence for marathon gamers, but bad posture, wrist issues, and mental strain can also occur if you’re not careful!

Take it from someone who developed carpal tunnel from playing too much Starcraft. Enjoy your gaming in moderation! Your body will thank you for it!

Enjoy It With Friends

Gaming’s fun alone, but you know what’s even better? Gaming with friends and loved ones! I know it can be frustrating to give your younger brother the controller but trust me. The memories you’ll make with them are priceless, and the fun you’ll have will be amplified when you’re sharing it with others.

Play For Fun, Not For Progress

This of course, leads up to the idea that you actually play for FUN. Beyond doing it to unlock cosmetics or dunk on someone online, learning how to enjoy gaming because it’s fun will guarantee you’ll always enjoy your time.

After all, there will be cases where a boss beats you or another player is better than you. There’ll be cases where you’ll struggle in the game or even lose—but learning how to take it all in stride and learning how to have fun despite these setbacks? Now that just guarantees you’ll not have fun.

Don’t Take Things Too Seriously!

This goes hand-in-hand with learning how not to get frustrated when you play! It’s like that meme with hockey player Ilya Bryzgalov. “It’s just a game. Why do you have to be mad?”

Take losses in stride, and realize that if you’re only having fun when you’re winning, you’re not going to have fun a lot of the time. Change your mindset, and the fun will definitely come!

Variety Is The Spice Of Life

Of course, when we’re talking about gaming, you’re going to play a lot of games! Do yourself a favor, and don’t just stick to one genre. If you do, you might just find yourself getting bored from playing the same things over and over again!

Variety is the spice of life, and changing up the games you normally play will lead to you appreciating a lot more genres and having a lot more fun in general!

Thankfully, if you’re looking for some variety, you can always check out Mega Cat Games and our vast library of titles. Want to play an atmospheric puzzle game of lights and darkness where you navigate the shadows and delve into the depths? Try Tenebra and enjoy its twists and turns!
