Current Events > Terrifying model shows what avid gamers could look like in just 20 years

(+) Yeah! (+)

To create Michael, the team looked at research reports looking into the physical effects of staying indoors, sat in a chair while staring at a screen.
The researchers explained: The visualisation shows that Michael has pale and pasty skin from years of being in artificial light and the result of lack of Vitamin D and B-12. He has stress-related eczema across his legs and arms and a permanently bent back from poor posture.
Heres a summary of Michaels key features, including a rare nail disorder, bloodshot eyes and even arthritis.
1. Head
Michael has painful bloodshot eyes due to extended periods of time staring at a screen.
The model also has an indent in his skull due to consistent, light pressure of wearing a gaming headset.
2. Hands
Unsurprisingly, years of gaming have had a detrimental effect on Michaels hands.
The model suffers from Onycholysis - a nail disorder caused by repetitive trauma such as tapping fingernails on a keyboard or controller causes the fingernail to loosen from its nail bed.
Meanwhile, Michael has built up ulcers and calluses on his fingers due to the repetitive strain injury of using controller.
3. Back and shoulders
Finally, Michael has developed a hunchback and rounded shoulders.
OnlineCasino.ca explained: A condition that slowly develops over time, a hyperextended neck, rounded shoulders and hunchback will start as a dull pain occasionally and work its way from your neck to your hands and back as the strains slowly create a bend in the neck which creates the hunchback.
This is caused by elongated periods of time sitting in uncomfortable positions without stretching or counteracting with regular exercise.
Based on the findings, the researchers are urging gamers to take proper breaks from their gaming sessions.

Just saying, but you shouldn't be making fun of neets during these times, you'll likely become one yourself soon. Hell, you probably already are one.

My job is essential and no I believe anyone should always call out these deadbeats, and leeches on society as most people who are out of work at this moment want to be at work.

NEETs are not the same as the people out of work due to coronavirus and you insult them by even comparing them to the dead weight of society.

You sound ignorant

Are people out of work due to coronavirus currently in education, employment or training? If not, then they are NEETs. If you don't like that they meet the literal definition then maybe you should question the sullying of that term.

bro that's pretty disingenuous to what an actual NEET is.

Ew, glad I chose meth over gaming

So I'm 41, been working desk jobs the last 15+ years and playing video games since I was like 5 years old. Why aren't I all messed up like this?

This is exactly what I was going to post. With the exception of headphone indents and playstation thumb all of these ailments are applicable to office workers who sit in front of a computer 8 hours a day.
