I have casually been playing video games since 1995. I mostly prefer WWII flight games and ground combat. I have played many, most notably Air Warrior, Warbirds, Aces High, IL2 Sturmovik, War Thunder, and a couple of others, of which I can’t recall the names.

In the ground combat genre, Day of Defeat (both iterations), Americas Army, Battlefield series (from the original), Call of Duty series (also from the original), Enlisted, and a sprinkling of other games.

I have also done my fair share of driving games. Many I do not recall, but I played NASCAR and NASCAR 2003 and GT Legends a lot. Back when I was racing, I used GTL to prepare for tracks that I was going to run. This was before I-Racing was a thing…at least not the behemoth it is today.

Mind you I did this all after work and home chores were done. This kids were asleep. This was my downtime. I enjoy being and working outside and maintaining physical fitness. Until I retired from the Army in 2012, I did the Army Physical Fitness Test (adding 4 miles to the run) 6 days a week. At 65 my Doctor has me as being in better condition than most men in their early 50’s.

I enjoy my time gaming and it has not had a detrimental effect on my physical health. I still travel and hike and do shooting competitions around the U.S. , not to mention the 5 matches I do monthly.
