Is it okay to play video games while sick?
My parents think it's best to stay in bed and do nothing, when I'd much rather lay down and play some games. Any opinion is a good one on the subject.
Edit: I did it boys! Parents outta the house=rules outta the house.

No, playing games while sick is the cause of spontaneous human combustion

I wouldn't play any competitive stuff while I'm sick since it saps the last of my energy from me. Any casual game is great though.

Last time I was sick , I was asleep for about 2.5 of the 3 days I was off work . Played some games in the evening before I went back and get in s#?t for being on psn

Isn't that the point of being sick?
-
Its mental stimulation, you'll get better if you play, 10/10 gamers agree.
-
I mean if your sick and lying down it shouldn't hurt to play some games while passing the time. Things go smoother that way and you notice it less

It depends on what you have

I'd watch some movies or play a single player game

1 ReplyHome sick from school. Stay in bed all day. No games or tv. No entertainment. Home sick from work. Do whatever.

Only time I don't play games when I'm sick is if my head is hurting pretty bad
-
I'm currently only out the hospital two days ago, still unwell and yet I sit playing video games when I'm unable to get some sleep. I can understand where your parents are coming from though, but going insane from boredom is not fun.

Heck, you probably won't even want to do anything anyway if said headache is bad enough. If it's a relaxed game though, I don't see any difference between that and laying around watching tv all day.

Seems legit

1 ReplyI try to do it when I'm sick but it takes to much brain power so it's never fun

1 ReplyAs an adult yes it's fine. As a kid though the reason is because if you just play games then to a parent it looks like you were just trying to get out of school to play games. If you are legitimately throwing up/high fever then 9/10 you will be too sick or too tired to actually play anything. Therefore anything less makes parents suspicious.

Of course but do other shit first. I always like to work out when I'm sick. Makes me feel 200% better.

Did Ferris Bueller stay home and play games?

My parents always said the same BS "If you're okay enough to play video games, then you can go to school" when logically that is so damn flawed. It takes little to no effort to play games. You sit there and just move your fingers. Some people are just not that smart :/

2 RepliesWell first you should finish your homework.

3 RepliesI used to fake sick so I could stay home and game when I was kid. I used to think I was the best at faking sick but my mom told me she always knew I was faking just didn't care if I went to school or not.
