I read a forum where someone posted that they had become bored with the game (the forum was about) after playing almost non-stop for the past month.

Who wouldn't be bored in that situation! I doubt even people in jail have that much emptiness in their lives, to be able to play a game almost non-stop. I have been playing the same game for about a month and I am far from being bored or even halfway finished all the quests, etc. Does this person not have a job to go to, chores around the house, people to communicate with at the very least. How weird that young (I'm assuming young) people have such a life as this. Playing non-stop, no responsibilities, to the extent that they are bored with entertaining themselves.

Poor thing! Maybe they would be happier if they had a life!!! Although, if this is the life they know so far, how could they possibly cope with anything more than entertaining themselves? How could they take on a job where you are expected to show up and be useful, polite, capable. At least able to do more than play games on a mobile phone.

This person (and any parents they ever had) have not done themselves any favours. What is life like for someone who can't even amuse themselves?

Suggestions for non-stop gamers who are bored:

• Go outside. Take a walk. Maybe shovel the driveway in winter. Rake leaves, weed a garden... there are many things you can do out there, beyond the walls of your prison. -Talk to someone. A person you can see without technology. Smile, have a general conversation. Talk about games if that's the best you can start with. Become less isolated.
• Apply for a job. I don't know if a non-stop gamer can get a job. So apply (for a job in reality, not online) as a first step.
• Read a book. Not a digital, virtual, anything. A real book with pages and everything. Challenge your brain.
• Write a letter, not an email or something you send on a phone or computer. Write and send a real snail mail letter to a relative. Maybe your Mother, Grandmother, Grandfather, someone you can remember seeing in the hallway where you live.
• Cook a meal. Follow a recipe if this is something very new to you. Don't leave something cooking and walk away to play a game. Stick with cooking until it is done. Clean up afterwards. Wash dishes, put ingredients, clean plates, silverware, pots and pans away. Don't leave a mess for someone else to clean up. You are too old/ young to need a care taker.
• Go out for coffee/ tea. Leave technology at home, or at least out of your hands. Put it away, let it have a day off.
• Take a day trip. Catch a public bus or train, or ferry, something that will take you from point A to point B and back again. You don't even need a destination, the journey will be a good start. Build up to a longer trip.

What would you suggest? Try to keep it simple, these people will need to work up to being competent.
