Lights on or off?

So it recently came to my attention that many people like to play games with their room lights turned off. This is a bit surprising to me, since I recall those health warning booklets that come with games advising you to play games in a well lit room.

So, I'm guessing for some people lights out makes the experience seem more cinematic?

I play with lights on, always. I don't want to tire my vision too quickly.

On, I don't like to do much of anything in the dark, except sleep.

I did put some dark hours into BOTW though, 'cause I was more immersed than I ever had been before & wanted to take it a step further.

Lights on, I think people who do it in the dark are weird

Shredder could've done more than blow up the Channel Six building. I don't mean as far as murdering Splinter, but think of the possibilities if censors were not an issue.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

I like my light. It makes it easier for me to see where I'm walking after I put the game on pause. Also, I don't enjoy stumbling over my cat in the dark.

The same also applies for watching movies.

I prefer with the lights on but I know most women prefer with the lights off, I think it's because they are self conscious.

This is a thread about video games, chief.

Off, though I can go either way really. Like Powder said though, I also play BOTW with the lights off since it's so easy to get immersed

Really? Having my lights on doesn't make me feel less immersed in the video games I play or movies I watch.
