Good day to you all my tutors and learners on hive.
It’s another wonderful day again today and another reason to appreciate our existence on the surface of the earth. Life is good when you have fun and remain happy with whatever you are doing. That’s life for us.
This would be my participation in the weekly contest on the hive Learners for week 16 episode 3 with the topic of discussion to be “Game addiction”.
I have always played this game right from the onset. I saw it on a friend’s device while he was so engaged with it and also paid full concentration while playing it. I challenged him on the reason for his full attention, then he asked me to give it a trial which I did immediately.
I got to my play store app and searched for the game with the title Ninja Arashi. Wow 🤩 . I downloaded it ASAP and gave it a trial.
THE ADDICTION
After playing a few episodes I realized it not only took away my leisure time but also took away my busy time. I am always on the game 24/7. After taking over a stage it challenges me, I have other stages to overcome. Gradually I found myself addicted to the game. Most times I play it with the sounds on and loud. This is not my first time playing games but this game is different.
I would be highlighting some reasons why I found myself addicted to playing it all the time.
Challenging
Each stage is always so challenging that you have to pay a lot of concentration or else you miss out on your chance to kill the enemies and get killed. Another challenge here is to accomplish the three-star ⭐️ for each episode. After that, the finale for each chapter is to defeat the boss who is extra skilled and takes a lot of skills to be defeated.
Brainstorming
There are stages you get to that you can’t overcome just like that, you have to think over and over again before you can pass through the stages. There was a time I was tired of repeating a particular stage, not until a friend of mine had to give it a trial as we brainstormed together on our way out. It was so much fun.
Frustration
The frustrating aspect is nothing to write home about. 😂. Countless times I have restarted the game just at the very beginning since I already wasted my extra life. Most times I would always shout at the top of my voice when I get defeated especially when I am almost at the end of the game.
If I am asked to name a game I would always play again and again till I get tired of playing and still play after being tired then that would be NINJA 🥷 ARASHI.
You do have a history with this game then. I think it's very easy to get addicted to games and sometimes, I think it's just best if we don't start it at all but still it's not all that bad because like you've mentioned, there are some few things to learn;
But I will say it's all worthless if one can't relate well with others because of the game they play. I'm glad you are not that addicted to it because you get to make good use of your time here on hive.
Nice writeup @abdul-qudus.
I didn't know you were also into gaming!... You rae right when you said it takes away our leisure time and busy time...a moment to get things going well...
Those stages in this game get tougher as you finish a tasor mission and the only thing that keeps you going is the determination to defeat and gain victory whichever can also unlock certain abilities and tools that would be necessary for the next mission!
Well... you definitely do a lot of gaming. You just have to curtail it a bit so that when you feel ready to stop it there will be no issues.

One thing about addiction is that it take away time and anything that you get addicted is a parasite.
Thanks for your submission
