Have you ever slept off while gaming?

[Ferdinand]

Most of the time, the only time that I have to play games is at night, and it is simply that I am always very busy during the day. There have been a couple of times when I slept off while playing a game at night because I was already tired when I returned from work. Have you had that experience where you slept off while playing any game?

Yeah mate, definitely been there

You tell yourself you’ll just jump on for a quick session after work, then next thing you know you’re half asleep holding the controller. I’ve had a few times where I’ve actually nodded off mid-game and woken up to my character just stood there or running into a wall.

Night gaming hits different when you’re tired from the day, but it’s sometimes the only time you get. Not quite the same energy as back in the day, but still worth it.

What you usually playing when that happens?

I once slept off when I was playing Minecraft. That game was dawn addictive when it came out that it was the only game that I always thought about when I was at work.

So, there was a day that I returned quite exhausted, but nah! I had to play this game. The next minute, I was snoring deep in my sleep. Woke up around 1 am just to realise what has happened. I can't help but start laughing at what just happened.

Lol, I feel this so hard “Just one more block” turns into full-on nap mode. At least it’s a funny memory to laugh about later!

Yeah more than once lol. There's something about late night gaming where your body just gives up on you. Usually happens when I'm grinding something repetitive. Brain checks out before I even realize it.

Had a closing shift last night so I sat down around 11 with Elden Ring and that was apparently it. Woke up two hours later, controller in my lap. Derek found it hilarious. The game was not even paused -- I had been sitting dead on the ground the whole time. Honestly not my worst gaming-related embarrassment but it is up there.

It happens more than I would like to admit. The particular danger zone for me is anything with a slow build -- Crusader Kings 3 especially. I tell myself one more in-game year and then wake up an hour later with a war I did not start and a claimant I have never heard of. Worth noting: it is close to midnight here in Amsterdam and I am still reading forum threads. This is not going to end well.

Derek must have laughed so hard looking at what happened. You said that wasn't your worst gaming related experience, which one tops the list for you?

Fell asleep at the keyboard during a Dark Souls run a couple of years ago. Woke up to the death screen, no idea how long I'd been out. Sarah walked in, looked at me, looked at the screen, and said something I'd rather not repeat. Probably fair.
