Dear Father and frame problems

Dear Father,

Thank you for this day. Not a lot is going on. Got church today. I had trouble focusing during devo. That concerns me. Is gaming something I can manage? Am I better off without it? I’ve been wrestling with that question for a while now. Now it’s time to ask God for the wisdom I need. I know he will give us wisdom when we ask in faith.

I’ve been playing Warframe, and I see the problem with it. It’s an MMO. Here’s the cycle: get a new warframe, level up the warframe, increase your mastery rank. Rinse and repeat. There are interesting things about the game, but that’s ultimately what you spend your time on. So, if there’s 66 frames. So if you spent 2 hours leveling each one, not counting the three days you wait to build them, but if you had them continuously ready, it would take you 132 hours. Now, if it takes you three days of waiting per frame, that’s 4,752 days of waiting for frames to build. You would play the game for 13 years.

More later.
