That’s partly what gaming is for me. I can jump online, play a few games, talk absolute rubbish with people and switch my brain away from MS for a while. It’s basically my pub, except the beer is cheaper and occasionally a 12-year-old calls me shit at Fortnite. There’s even research suggesting surgeons who play video games can perform better on certain laparoscopic skills. Gaming can be a bit of a gym for the mind. Problem-solving, reactions, concentration, social connection and a bit of escapism. Saying that, neurological fatigue is a completely different beast. Sometimes the brain doesn’t need another workout. It needs someone to talk to, a controller in your hand and absolutely no expectation of achieving anything useful. Never underestimate the power of a chat. If anyone fancies a game or just wants someone to chat to, hit me up on Xbox: St1gz 🎮
