Is using your computer a lot & playing tanki making you feel ill?

[RampagingVenom 554]

Hello :)

the reason why I`m asking is to help a friend of mine do some research at university Oxford to be exact.

 

They are currently doing a study on the effects of computer overuse obviously not tanki but overuse in general

 

So could you tell me if you have noticed any change in your general health? 

headaches, sickness, burred vision, musculoskeletal disorder? *pains in your limbs neck arms wrists back* etc anything different compared to when you did not use your computer a lot

& if you have stopped using it as much as you did have you noticed a positive change in your wellbeing health  etc.

 

Thank you for any replies as it will help a lot  ^_^

Peace to all  

 

ps this is not about tanki in general but if tanki is the main reason you use a computer then it`s important you add your comments.

Nope, but my vision does get blurred, but only after I stay up till around 2 AM.

 

Hmm, it's almost that now.

When i once played Need For Speed World for 6 hours straight to save for the Lexus LFA, I got headaches, and some sickness that i can't describe.

That`s quite creepy ;)

but I suspect it would make in into an art gallery if the current crop of art is anything to go by?

Ehhh.. No.

Nothing till now, except that if I go get myself something after the overuse of PC, I start feeling like falling.

I don't think that this happened because of overuse of PC, but because of staying sitting for long.

Yes...Proper seating is a must have, for those long 5 hour games... I have a very comfortable chair, and a also put two soft couch pillows on it. One that I sit on, and the narrow rectangular one for the lower back. Lighting and atmosphere are also important. A dimly lit room, and water to drink...And a tank hat (wont go there, so don't ask... :)). Conclusively, leg circulation is important the harder your chair, the less circulation, which causes your vertigo (feeling of falling).

Yeah I've had that but not for a long time

there is something called "computer eye" which you can get just from using a computer not just playing games, you end up feeling dizzy or  motion sick from scanning your eyes up and down to much. Your eyes can go completely cross eyed in severe cases. If you rest, lie down and get off the computer it goes away

[Godfa7her 17]

I once got body ache just because of tiredness after playing 20 hours straight otherwise.. nothing.

[AngeIs.And.Demons 1,988]

You in Oxford Ram?

[RampagingVenom 554]

it`s a dear friend of mine that goes there

[r_i_dont_care_ok0 19]

And no, I don't feel ill.

[I.Hy6 522]

This topic is for people admitting they play too much and don't have a life ok

Look who's talking ok

And yes, monkeyburn, I don't sit properly at all, I sit on a couch which is not soft at all.

But well, I'm used to it ok

[Remaine 4,687]

Nothing at all. I get the feeling I'd have all those symptoms if I didn't eat fruit and play sports so frequently.
