Do Piscean Personalities tend to indulge into Gaming Prime Hobby often at unhealthy addiction levels?
I notice on the internet so many people I know who are Hardcore Gamers (as in they spend much if not all their free time playing video games). Many of them play games so much that they are nerdy wastes (as in VERY OBESE or VERY SKINNY FRAIL DUDES) and are often addicted tot he point they often have poor social skills a and even the social ones would prefer to spend time at home playing games.

I NOTICE many of them are Pisces or (when I calculated their charts) are either Pisces Moons,Pisces Ascendants, or Pisces Dominant.

For example one guy I know who is a mod at a Sailor Moon forum I used to go to was a DIEHARD PC Gamer. As in he spends so much of his time out of work when he isn't watching anime he spends much of it on gaming. As in HOURS and HOURS of serious multiplayer gaming and stuff not necessarily gaming but rleated to it such as creating fanmade games, mods, reading the expanded universe lore of game franchises he's a big fan of such as Starcraft, and watching E-Gaming videos and keeping up to date with gaming. He's not only a Pisces but when I calculated he's a Pisces Moon with a Libra Ascendant thus making him a Double Pisces.

He's the MOST PROMINENT EXAMPLE but I can't tell you how many Pisces are in many gaming communities I frequent.

I am one such example. In my younger years gaming was my primary hobby. To the point I would spend nothing but whole weekends playing games and in the summer practically almost everyday I spent playing games. I would actively try to seek out every game for a series I grew into a fan of such as The Elder Scrolls and I would make a wishlist of consoles,games and accessories I want to buy.

I would spend most of my money buying new games and even purchase peripheral such as speakers and special controllers for gaming. Practically while normal kids were spending their weekends hanging out with friends, I would be spending all my free time at home gaming.

It got serious to the point I was even staying up late on school days to try to beat levels and I developed health problems that still plague me today and I recently only started reversing as I become more Scorpio.

I admit I even got into illegal stuff related to gaming such as abandonia and even piracy via torrenting and download links online as well as downloading mods that turned game into porns and other such stuff against the law.

It was to the point most of my conversations was about gaming back in high school (unless you were a girl) and I was subscribed to multiple gaming magazines and much of the forums I went to were almost exclusively gaming ones alongside Yahoo Answers. While I was rather sociable and had lots of "friends" for a nerd and Hardcore Gamer, I rarely interacted with people in my private and I never had hang out with friends outside of school. Practically all my free time was at home gaming.

I'm a Pisces with a a Venus in Pisces as well as having a Sun thats HEAVILY ASPECTED. In addition my Sun (in Pisces) is my 2nd Dominant Planet at 14.1%.

As I grow more and more Scorpio I no longer am a gaming addict and while when I play games I do it competitively (record times, beat higher difficulties,etc) to the point I even attend a gaming community that I post in almost daily and upload my stats for games called HowLongToBeat, I no longer play games as much as I used to and I suspect its more Leonine for joining that site than Piscean side of my personality (competition ).

But I really can't help but notice this among Pisces or Pisces strong people that so many of them take gaming seriously to the point of an (unhealthy) primary hobby. Have any of you noticed this too?

What would be the reason for Pisces quickly becoming Hardcore Gamers and often gaming addicts?

While we're not sure of his Ascendant, Doomlord is possibly a Pisces Riser and even assuming he's actually a Cappy Riser, he has strong Pisces influences in that alternative chart (I don't remember the placements though). In his teen years, he was a gaming addict and got into health problems because of it. While he might go back into gaming when he has free time, he doesn't plan to indulge in it as he did in high school.

So there's another example.

The reason would be to go into another world and escape this one. It's fun to just lose oneself someplace far away and gaming offers that. It's a way to get lost, an escape route into another dimension. It's a virtual place where magic powers exist. It's just fun and exciting. You just become someone else. This is why people get addicted, the gaming releases certain chemicals in the brain, probably Dopamine and the gamer feels better with the surge of L Dopa so he wants to continue playing. Eventually, he reaches the point where he must play everyday because he experiences withdrawal when he goes without, just like with any kind of addiction. People who become addicted to this are the ones who crave a different reality than the one they have.

Unfortunately this is true for my brother who is a Pisces sun, Sagittarius moon, and Cancer ascendant. He is obese and perhaps plays video games to an extreme.

Man it must really suck to have something to be passionate about.

I mean why can't they spend all of their free time playing American football? At least that is something normal to do.
Why can't they spend all their free time going to the gym and obsessing over the diet so they can look like a body builder?
Why can't they spend all of their time, running, hiking, swimming as much as possible?

Gaming is just a hobby, like reading, sport, exercise, so on and so forth imho. I don't see what the problem is. These people you speak of, that indulge in their passion to what you consider unhealthy levels, are doing something they enjoy. Who is anyone to tell them how they should live their life?
"You should get out more, socialise more, do more exercise, do different things." How would you feel if someone came up to you and criticised your lifestyle? Or maybe that already happened which is why you appear to take a negative view on gaming now.

I don't think Pisceans more than any other sign indulge in gaming at unhealthy levels. Nor do I understand how anyone could measure and state what an 'unhealthy' level would be.

If these people are happy, why not just let them be happy?

abou the unhealthy part...all in all if the person own health is damaged in any way or the health of other it can be considered unhealthy.

though from the many people i know who play games they reraly reach that level and instead just have a fun hobby to do and talk about....its the same like reading books and watching TV/movies. (all can lead to obeisety/anorexia if overdone to extreme levels)

it makes sense for a person with heavy piscean influence to want to become a gamer, or somebody who spends a LOT of time on the online forums. its a way to escape the world. i have lots of pisces in my chart and if it werent for the aries energy to balance it out, i would probably be a gamer or something like that.
even with that good energy, its hard because pisces moon/everything else pisces tends to absorb all the energy around it, negative or positive and unfortunately, this world is full of negative energy.
