Yes that is bad.
I have had the same thing happen to me before and 5 hours is too long to be staring at a screen.
If you have to play for that long a day, you should at least take some breaks and rest your eyes.
Maybe go outside for a little while… or eat a snack.
I personally think it is caused because you are really focused into your game and your eyes are straining.
There is a lot of light and you are keeping your head in one place.
I’m not sure If I helped but good luck
Yah, these new games are starting to get faster paced. The mind has to take way more in and react to it even faster than before.
Example
Mario Kart (N64):The game wasnt too fast and you didnt have a lot of controls for it so it made it a simpel activity to do
LOZ: Oracina of Time (somthing like that)(N64):That game wasnt to fast paced either, even when it was you didnt need much except mayce a C, the lock on button an A!
Halo 3: You are quite literally using every button within 10 seconds! So you need the amazing memorization skills that we all have to know where httese buttons are! Also you have to concentate on your shield and ALL the little grunts running around like dipshits not to mentionbigger things behind them.
Transformers: The Game (360): That game is so damn faced paced that if you dont know what your doing. Your utterly fucked!!! So many buttons and so much stuff to do, it all adds up in the end. Having to get somwhere in a city where driving veichles is almost impossible (really bad controls)
Theres my little ranton the subject.
