Where is this thing when you game and how intrusive is it?

It's right next to me but I don't check it every 2 minutes, or in loading screens, because I'm not addicted to my phone. I'm only addicted to having GAF/YT/TikTok/Twitter on other displays runnig at all times, completely different thing, amirite?!

None of these poll answers apply to me. My phone is always right next to me. My Apple Watch is always on me. When I get a notification I glance down at it. If it’s important I pause and respond to it, otherwise I can carry on playing a game because I don’t have the attention span of a pissant.

#2 would be the closest that applies to you.

NEXT!

No your poll is too limited. The bigger question is what the hell prompted this train of thought?

Incorrect. You have been categorized as a number 2. That is your final designation. A number 2.

It's within reach but I don't have much issue staying off my phone. I don't do any social media and my circles know I don't want to be invited to group chats and things like that. I do not like phone. Amazing tool but shit will fuck your brain up.

 

[Codeblew]

It is usually out of reach, out of mind unless I am using it to read some web guide to spec my character or find shit on the map. I should really get a tablet for that though.

 

[MayauMiao]

Just next to me because I have to respond to any work related calls.

 

[Laptop1991]

It's near me just in case someone contact's me, not to check on social media like an addict, other wise i forget about my phone while i game.

 

[R6Rider]

Phone is usually on the desk next to me, but I only check it if I get a notification.

 

[ReBurn]

It's wherever I put it down at. I usually go hours without touching my phone.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Only if I'm expecting important information to come over the line. Otherwise it's mostly ignored if I'm playing a game.

 

[ssringo]

Keep it next to me at all times but that's due to my job. I really only play on it at work

 

[V1LÆM]

I play games on my phone

When I play “real” games it’s usually within arms reach. I have a smart watch so don’t really need it that close. And if I’m on my laptop I can take calls/reply to messages on it. And yeah I also play games on a Mac

 

[AJUMP23]

Right next to me but I ignore it.

 

[Caffeine]

Its in it's place in the shelf never look at it

 

[Brakum]

Im on PC which unlike consoles does everything my phone does more efficiently so i dont really touch my phone at all unless someone's calling me or something.

 

[Salmonboy]

Only for Balatro

 

[Three]

I don't look at it during loading screens (what loading?). I do occasionally look at it in lobbies or when trying to search some info about the game though.

 

[GymWolf]

Stopped many years ago.

 

[pudel]

Mobile OFF...game ON! Yep!

 

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

Where is the ”I don’t think about my phone while doing other stuff” option?

 

[T-0800]

I don't own a phone.

 

[GinSama]

On dead moments I have a look if I'm expecting something important .....but honestly don't use that much my phone while I'm playing.

Unless my partner is out and in case she needs to reach me.
