Mental Health warning after playing too much Parkour

[Komodо]

This may sound ridiculous. However, I actually endured mental health problems while playing parkour. My wrist hurts. My neck aches and I feel way to tired. I also feel like I enjoy nothing atm and almost feel numb.

This is not a joke.

I actually feel this would be a good idea to refrain people from playing too many parkour. Besides, you achieve nothing when grinding for it. It’s boring, time-consuming and annoying. Playing parkour casually is fun and all. Grinding for it actually gives you several problems. Therefore, I would like to suggest an ingame warning.

I agree for it especially since a lot of people are not able to handle that at all
Parkour is easily addictive when you start playing it and you generally don't see the time pssing when you play it and at the end you end up with playing few hours and having some part of your body hurting you which is not great for health

I was laughing when I read the title, still laughing, but a bit less after the first lines, then the 'this is not a joke' got me neutral and the last lines got me relating to this actually

All jokes aside, the server-wide messages that encourage getting involved outside the game, apply for translating, etc. could be perfectly used to display a message about also getting pauses in between the games. What the message would be exactly is something I cannot tell as for now, but it is definitely something I think would be great.

Not only in parkour this is a problem. Gaming too much could seriously hurt over time, causing dry eyes, eyestrain and, as mentioned in your thread, neck and shoulder pain. As I laughed about it as well when reading the title of the thread, we should indeed take these seriously. I agree with your suggestion

Ahw I'm sorry to hear this, there are a few options for you already tho!

Maybe you can get better at the game so you would complete the level before hurting yourself.
Another option is to just take a break every once in a while, or maybe play Minerware instead.
Sounds like a lot of opinions, lots and lots of ranting and stuff, I do agree with the ''you achieve nothing part!''

love u tho, don't hurt urself

for me the message would be:
_____________________________
Dude you should take a break.
Take care of your mental health <3

I played parkour for a few hours 5 weeks ago, and I still suffer from nightmares and frustration. +1

why do you need to mention bugs in every post you make. we could be talking about the quality of fries at mcdonalds and you'd still find a way to talk about bugs, honestly

 

[Komodо]

we could be talking about the quality of fries at mcdonalds

Which quality?

I know a way to solve this. I had a friend who ordered fries without salt. He brought the salt himself. They were in good condition, unlike the salted ones.

 

[Blom]

Hi! Could we please keep it on topic? I'd love to talk about McDonald's fries once, but we're talking about another subject here.

 

[omgamnothere]

i agree they need to reward us 300/200 exp every parkour we do

 

[Matriox]

Yea McDonald's fries are nice imo

Good point. I saw that earlier as well, nice find. Although I was talking about a warning ingame. Not many people visit the forums nowadays. My own mental health is okay-ish atm. I mostly wanted other people to be discouraged from playing to much parkour, because it does give you issues

 

[dvodany]

Yeah thats right. Its similar to jitter click where its dangerous to do one jitter click longer than 30 seconds. Its generally bad to your joints and also whole nerve in your hand. These are physical issues.

Then there are mental issues like that ones that you said here. I think these issues are from whole gaming in Minecraft PvP not just parkour. I know it from personal experience.

I agree with you that it will be great from CubeCraft to introduce these risks of these issues somewhere.
