Anti Poop-Socking	comment	"Poopsocking" is when a gamer is so engrossed in their game, they won't stop playing for any reason, even to go to the bathroom — so they'll poop in a sock. It's not the only manifestation of this kind of behavior (a common variant is a gamer who drinks a lot of soda and then pees in the cans, and the term "catassing" derives from a player whose house stinks because they've neglected basic chores like cleaning their cat's litter box), but the principle is the same — a gamer plays so long that it starts negatively affecting their quality of life. Therefore, Anti Poop-Socking is when a game has a built-in function that rewards the player for taking a break from the game... or at least encourages them to. There are several reasons for a game to want the player to take a break. One of the biggest is that not doing this leads to bad publicity. There are real dangers to poopsocking; it's clearly not healthy to be playing video games for that long, or to surround yourself in your own waste products. The media will usually bring out the rarest and most horrifying cases, like players who literally play themselves to death because they neglected basic needs like food and water, babies who died because their parents were too preoccupied with playing video games to care for them, or players who have allowed their own messes to turn into literal piles of garbage; games which are commonly associated with this sort of thing might implement anti-poopsocking measures to disassociate themselves from these extremes. Games with a particular risk of eyestrain after long sessions (often using 3D effects, like the Virtual Boy) may implement anti-poopsocking for this reason as well. But there are also practical reasons to do this. From a pure gameplay perspective, it discourages players from Level Grinding too quickly and disrupting the ability flow of the gaming population. Furthermore, long video game sessions can lead to burnout, and burned out gamers are less likely to pick the game back up again, so by encouraging gamers to take a break every now and then, games end up becoming even more addicting. And one of the biggest motivators is money. Online games have limited bandwidth, and so game companies prefer less frequent players, especially if they pay monthly subscription fees (and thus would pay the same as a hardcore gamer, so no loss there). Ad-driven games want to prevent burnout because repetition is key in advertising; companies get more value out of a gamer who sits through several short gaming sessions than one who plays a single marathon session. And in the case of more exploitative developers, this means that you can hide "energy refills" behind a paywall. There's one big hole in the anti-poopsocking mechanism: there's nothing preventing a gamer from playing multiple games, staggering them so that they're playing one game while racking up the anti-poopsocking elements of the others. Some people will not be helped. Of course, this is all even truer in the many cases where the poopsock-preventative procedure in question amounts to little more than a suggestion on the game's part - oftentimes a friendly reminder to take a break delivered through some manner of character dialogue. See also Just One More Level! (the phenomenon that leads to poopsocking), Hikikomori (the kind of people who would poopsock), and Anti-Grinding (a related phenomenon that tries to prevent gamers from Level Grinding and can have incidental anti-poopsocking rewards as well). Contrast Bladder of Steel (when you can't take a break even if you want to) and Guilt-Based Gaming (where the game tries to guilt you into not taking a break). And compare and contrast Play Every Day (you get rewarded for taking a break, but also for picking right back up the next day).

Anti Poop-Socking / int_13998e73	comment	Until recently, MapleStory also warned the player every hour, with an added "We suggest you take a break from Mapling" after the third and subsequent hours. It counted the hours client has been on; if someone else came and played it without closing the client, the counter wouldn't reset. Also, if the client crashed the counter would reset, and before windowed mode was added, going to check a guide could shut the client down. As of recently, however, this message has been removed, and players are instead being offered EXP rewards for staying logged in for a certain amount of time. What caused this paradigm shift is unknown.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_15947bf6	comment	Crops up again in Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online (which has the central premise of the characters playing an In-Universe MMO) when Vert casually mentions that after a while, the ability to stick together for a 96 hour session should come naturally. When Noire asks how she even stays awake for four days at a time, Vert mentions she mail-orders special energy drinks. At this point Neptune ignores the fourth wall to remind the player that Vert's a goddess, and trying to copy her is a really bad idea. Also, the second time this comes up, it turns out that not only Vert does play really long sessions, she sometimes plays multiple games at once. Neptune has to ask, if hypocritically, if she gets any work done at all.

Talk to him, and he will sometimes tell you "Gee, you've been through a lot lately, Captain. Maybe it's time to take a break?" He'll tell you something similar if you get a Game Over. Lubba also has a text bubble over his head saying "So...sleepy..." if you play the game after 1 a.m. When you talk to him, he complains about how early it is. Similarly, Super Mario 3D Land will also suggest that you take a break after playing for awhile.

The more Clouds there are when you start scanning for them, the more Dream Orbs they release when you shoot them, so it's more profitable to wait and let Clouds gather instead of going after them as soon as they pop up. Professor Burnet will also occasionally remind you to take a break after a scanning session.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_1adee40d	comment	The World Ends with You Pins earn three different kinds of PP, one of which can only be gained by leaving your DS off for a while (called Shutdown PP), earning experience for up to seven days of not playing. Some pins will evolve into new kinds of pins only if the majority of the PP they've gained is of one of those three kinds, including the Shutdown PP pins. If you want to get every kind of pin, you have to leave your game off for significant periods of time. Shutdown PP is weighted heavily in type dominance for Pin Evolution, at a 9:1 ratio to Battle PP. In the DS version, Mingle PP, the third type of PP, also works as anti-poop-socking, but in a lesser fashion. The primary method of gaining PP, Mingle Mode, requires the player to leave the system on, but not actually interact with it. (In general, the best thing to do is to close the case and leave the AC adapter plugged in.) Upon encountering other DS systems in Wireless mode, the player's deck gains Mingle PP. (More PP is given, besides other benefits, if the other system was also playing TWEWY in Mingle Mode.) For those without DS-wielding friends, the game will also provide Aliens at random intervals in Mingle Mode, worth (in the Western version) even more PP than normal encounters with players. Mingle PP is even more heavily weighted than Shutdown PP, at a 20:1 ratio. In the Western release, gains from Mingle mode are more than doubled from the Japanese version, making evolution (or mastery, if the "correct" PP isn't Mingle) occur even faster.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_2606da01	comment	While not likely to be poop-socked, Animal Crossing has real-time based shop opening and closing times - that is to say that Tom Nook's store will close at 8PM (Wii) or 11PM (DS) and not open till the next. This is especially annoying if you are somewhat older than the "intended" child demographic, or if your daily schedule follows non-mainstream hours (e.g. if you work night shift). The opening times depend on what building Nook is using. The convenience store building, Nook-N-Go is open from 7:00 AM to 1:00 AM, while the largest store, Nookington's is open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. However, the only game that gives you direct control over which building Nook has is City Folk; on the other games, Nook will always use the largest building available. After midnight, animals often tell the player that it is really late. In Animal Crossing: Wild World, the cute ones state that cool kids go to sleep early. Inverted in the original, where you can try to catch Wisp the Ghost between midnight and 3AM, which will initiate a minigame. Win and the ghost will reward the player by removing weeds from the town, painting the player's house's roof, or even award the player with rare furniture. In New Leaf, every few conversations with your villagers, they will suggest you take a break every once in a while and rest if you've been going at it for a long time. Also, New Leaf subverts the initial problem of closing times by allowing you to make a town ordinance that shifts the open hours of stores either earlier or later based on which is more convenient for you. In New Horizons, the Custom Design Portal, which lets you upload and download custom designs made within the game, is located inside the Able Sisters' shop, which means you cannot transmit custom designs outside of their store hours. However, a later update would make the Custom Design Portal a NookPhone app, allowing players to use the Portal any time they want.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_3209fad1	comment	Mabinogi somewhat subverts this by simultaneously encouraging and discouraging poopsocking; both in small ways; mainly through the aging/rebirthing mechanic. Characters age in real time, at the rate of 1 year per real-time week, and gain stats and ability points (for levelling skills) for each in-game year. Depending on the particular character build and skillset, there are benefits and drawbacks to both extended grinding sessions (levels and skill training), and extended breaks.

"Surely, even Dungeon Keepers must retire to a lair of some description." "You know that low, broad, downy-soft item of furniture in the next room?

Anti Poop-Socking / int_3faaab79	comment	In-universe example in Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory. While the CPUs are basically goddesses that seem to subsist entirely on snacks, Vert takes it to the next level. Her reaction to her aide leaving is to go on a (planned) 10-day MMORPG bender, because since there's nobody to tell her when to stop, she won't. Even Neptune thinks that's overdoing it. Crops up again in Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online (which has the central premise of the characters playing an In-Universe MMO) when Vert casually mentions that after a while, the ability to stick together for a 96 hour session should come naturally. When Noire asks how she even stays awake for four days at a time, Vert mentions she mail-orders special energy drinks. At this point Neptune ignores the fourth wall to remind the player that Vert's a goddess, and trying to copy her is a really bad idea. Also, the second time this comes up, it turns out that not only Vert does play really long sessions, she sometimes plays multiple games at once. Neptune has to ask, if hypocritically, if she gets any work done at all.

Unlike other bosses in the game, you do not have to beat them in a single sitting, because they will not recover their health if you leave the area, save, then return later on (although you do need to ensure that Yiazmat hasn't cast Regen before you leave the boss area, as he will recover health with that). Notably the same isn't true with the remaining superboss, Omega Mark XII, whose health will be fully replenished if you exit the area, something that is particularly frustrating in the original Japanese version, where he has ten million HP, rather than one million.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV has a rested EXP bonus for players that log out of the game in a sanctuary or a town's inn. The longer they "rest" (stay logged off) in the area, the bigger the bonus will be next time they log in up to a certain point. All EXP gained from the rest bonus gets a percentage multiplier, which is very handy if you need to level up from a new class from level 1. Taking breaks in a longer term is also explicitly part of the game's design - the game's producer has spoken several times about how he would much rather have players unsub between patches as opposed to burning themselves out by playing a game that they don't really want to be playing during content droughts. In addition, the guildleve system grants you a certain number of "allowances". You get one allowance every hour, and if you run out, you can't begin another levequest until you have one. Since most levequests can be completed in 5 to 10 minutes, you can run out very quickly if you're grinding, but since you can gain them while not playing, you can burn through them quickly and gain them back in your downtime. That is for the "A Realm Reborn" remake. In the original game, playing for too long would put a penalty on EXP gains. Teleports also required a special resource that took real time days to replenish. The guildlevel system was there too, and considering the general lack of other interesting things to do in the original game makes this game a particularly bad example.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft The game rewards time logged out with a short period of increased XP after you log back in. A loading screen tip reads, "Take all things in moderation, even World of Warcraft." In addition, raid dungeons can only be done once every few days by a given group. In the vanilla WoW beta, Blizzard planned for a different Anti Poop-Socking: starting at baseline and gradually decreasing XP over time. Players hated it, feeling they were being punished just for playing the game. So Blizzard changed it so that logging out increased XP for a time after log-in before falling back to baseline. Players lauded the "change." In truth, Blizzard didn't change anything. Instead of starting at "normal" and falling to "low," players started at "high" before falling to "normal." No values were actually changed; they just called it something else. Much later Blizzard even admitted, "It was the same numbers seen from the opposite point of view." Another loading screen tip reads "Bring your friends to Azeroth, but don't forget to go outside Azeroth with them as well." In China, the system is much harsher, with players receiving half normal experience points and gold after 3 consecutive hours of play, and no experience points, gold, or quest rewards after 5 consecutive hours of play. These features, by the way, have been specifically required by the Chinese government. The first expansion introduced Daily Quests, of which a maximum of 25 can be completed per day (it takes about an hour to complete 25, if you know what you're doing). Heroic Dungeons were also introduced, offering a higher Risk vs. Reward, offset by players only able to complete each dungeon once per day. While these limits take a long time to take effect, it prevents players from grinding specific items or gold quite effectively. The latest expansion removed this restriction. It is now possible, in principle, to do all the daily quests in the game in one day. However, some of the rewards are effectively worthless past a certain point (a common reward is a token that you really can't use more than 60 of in a week), and points to purchase gear that still have weekly earning caps. Item Crafting has an element of its own: specific item crafts have a real time recharge time between one and four days. As these items can be traded, they are usually in high demand and serve as a good source of income even if you aren't making much use of your professions otherwise. The Shadowlands Maw zone puts a soft limit on playing time by gradually adding in-world threats as the player kills mobs, and by removing those threats the next day. As a result, the average player is motivated to achieve only so much in the Maw on any given day.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_4b76755b	comment	Improbable Island has a Stamina gauge that runs out as you do things such as fight monsters and travel. Once it goes below 60% you start taking penalties to attack and defense, if it gets below 30% every encounter has a chance of you collapsing from exhaustion, which sends you to the Failboat, where you'll most likely have to wait for or use a New Day to get back in the game. However, Game Days have a cycle of about 4 hours. So it won't be too long before you can play again, and if you're logged off long enough, you can "Save" New Days for use later. The saved day system also notably avoids the issues of such a system by making it so that you don't have to log in ever 4 hours to get the max adventures for each day.

And there's an option to have a clock displayed on the screen, which is handy when you're playing in full-screen mode so that the clock on your computer's desktop is obscured. The ZSNES Super Nintendo emulator has the clock option too. In a way, the turn-based nature of the game serves as a kind of anti-poop socking measure in itself: if you get up and go to the bathroom, fix dinner, watch TV, etc., the game will still be there for you exactly as you left it. And their "Civaholics Anonymous" campaign made fun of it too, with one of the fake testimonials featuring a former "addict" talking about how he didn't get up for three days. The interviewer confirms that he didn't go to the bathroom for three days, he responds that he said he didn't get up. Alpha Centauri inverted this; when you tried to go, it would sometimes say "Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you."

Anti Poop-Socking / int_59151283	comment	Metal Gear: Metal Gear on the MSX, Big Boss starts giving the player suspiciously misleading information in the second half of the game. When Snake is about to reach the room where Metal Gear is held, Big Boss will personally call you and order you to turn off your MSX / PlayStation / Cellphone. One of Master Miller's fantastic No Fourth Wall lectures in Metal Gear Solid was about staying mentally alert by taking breaks. As you near the end of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, your support staff starts calling you near-constantly to tell you random things, most of which are fourth wall-breaking nonsense. In a pair of these calls, you're ordered to turn the game off, told that "it's just a game". Immediately after, your staff calls you again to tell you that you've been playing for a long time (they say this regardless of how long you've actually played), wondering "don't you have anything else to do with your time?" Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: When you stop playing for a while, Snake rests and recovers some health and stamina. Unfortunately, most food he has may rot depending on how long you leave the game off. During the boss fight with The End a reversal occurs: The player is advised not to save, due to a "bad feeling". If you save and come back in less than a week, The End sneaks up on and captures Snake; if you leave the game off for more than a week, Snake finds that The End has died of old age. An Anti-Poopsocking Easter Egg occurs after Snake has been jailed and tortured. If you save, Para-Medic relates to Snake a passage from Dracula, to which Snake surprisingly reacts in fear. Reset the system and load up the file and rather than seeing the normal screen, you'll open on a Hack N' Slash game called "Guy Savage", where you eviscerate monsters with cane weapons. After a set amount of time, Snake wakes up and calls Para-Medic to berate her for her "Pillow Talk". Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots continues this trend. At the end of each act a loading screen comes up with notes like "Use an ashtray when smoking" and "You've been playing for so long, why not take a break?". The game can also read the console's clock to remind you that "It's pretty late". If you play for long enough it will get more insistent and dramatic. "It's now after 2 am, take a break for your own health!" In Metal Gear Online, the game makes a very simple count of how long you have been playing. Play an hour it will make the news alert noise and display your hour. It's simple, but it suggests that you rest in order to make sure you can perform better online. Metal Gear Solid V continues this sterling tradition if you go too long without showering, and Ocelot gently, politely reminds you of the importance of personal hygiene and taking breaks by throwing a bucket of water at you upon your next visit to Mother Base. The player is never addressed directly, but the message comes through loud and clear: "You've been playing the game too much."

Considering the high energy requirements of daily gold and experience potion stages, a lot of waiting may be involved if no items are used to restore energy.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_6fe3e8a7	comment	Neopets: Restock Banning. Keep refreshing the main shops for hours on end in the hopes of nabbing that rare item, and you'll find that no items at all are shown in any shop for the rest of the day. It also applies for unique shops, such as the Smuggler's Cove (which can happen upon 1 refresh, but lasts way shorter), the Almost Abandoned Attic (after 10 items), and the Money Tree. (again, after 10 items) Trudy's Surprise appears to be intended for this, though only for users who have been on the site for 13 years. It's basically a slots game that gives you Neopoints no matter what you actually spin, giving a bit of reprieve for folks who grind daily for Neopoints. The story that goes along with it suggests this trope. Many of the games and events have restrictions on how often you can play. The term 'dailies' by the player base refers to events that can only be done once a day (ex. Tombola, Lab Ray, the Giant Omelette, the aforementioned Trudy's Surprise, etc.), sometimes with in-universe justification. While a few, such as Coltzan's Shrine and the Healing Springs, have lower wait times, they still require you to, well, wait. Some games, such as Dice-a-Roo and Kacheek Seek, will eventually have your Neopet get annoyed and ask to play something else after some time. You also can only submit scores on each flash game three times a day, which makes things trickier if you're going for a high score (which is necessary for some avatars).

Many gameplay modes cost a certain amount of stamina to play, and it regenerates at the rate of one unit every 6 minutes. The stamina limit is increased by upping the captain's level. You can buy more stamina by spending crystals, but the more you buy in a day, the more expensive it'll get. In a later update, the Valkyrie you set on your bridge may sometimes tell you to stop playing and go to bed.

You cannot wake up a Mii that is in bed; the only interactions you can do is drawing on their face and visiting their dream, the latter of which causes them to wake up momentarily when the dream ends, but they'll go right back to sleep. Checking up on Miis late at night often prompts them to say "I'm not sleepy at all night." or "I'm gonna stay up all night tonight!", inverting this trope. Occasionally, when you click on an awake Mii's "..." bubble (used for random quips) late at night, they will tell you to go to bed...then deny that they're a hypocrite.

There is a clickthrough screen while logging in with a short message about playing too long, ending with "Don't forget your family, your friends, your school, or your work." Ignored by most if not all players, who click through it immediately. More successfully implemented later with two once-unbeatable bosses. The Pandemonium Warden once withstood a group trying to defeat it for about nineteen hours, causing notable bad press, and leading to the implementation of a two hour time limit on both it and Absolute Virtue. Also implemented through certain time limits that must be reached before mission or quest progress can be made. This can be seen in most guides as having to wait "until Japan midnight" before a quest or mission can be finished or began.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_8e399659	comment	Atlantica Online used to have a "Stamina Gauge" which decreases by 1 every time you enter a battle; while you have stamina, experience gains are tripled and item drops are doubled (which is a roundabout way of saying that once the gauge hits zero, experience is reduced to a third and item drops are cut in half). The stamina gauge is reset to 100 every morning at 6:00 AM, plus a small amount of rollover stamina depending on your level. Nowadays it just uses various exp bonuses that can only be collected a few times per day instead, though the TBS mode still has some sort of stamina (on a weekly basis), and another kind limits how much material you can gather from player home resource fields per day.

The subject of this story played a video game tournament for 60 straight hours, using an empty bottle and a special "bucket chair" for his bathroom needs. He wound up dying as a result of a deep vein thrombosis causing a pulmonary embolism (blood clots in his legs from sitting for so long getting stuck in his lungs). And that's not mentioning the massive pustule acne that formed due to a poor diet of delivery pizza and highly caffeinated drinks.

Due to chronic malnourishment and being in cyberspace 24/7, his body finally flatlines while his brain manages to keep on going. Unfortunately, Rache is so paranoid that he didn't tell anyone where he was hiding, and in the end a MegaCorp tracks down his apartment and vaporizes it with an orbital mass-driver.

Throughout the world, there are blue treasure chests containing somewhat sweet swag, as well as all sorts of dressers, cupboards, and pots in people's homes containing the odd bit of alchemy material. Saving and exiting the game allows these to be refilled with new items for you to plunder. This may have been unintentional, however, since the game doesn't track how much time it takes you to start the game back up.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: Some Pokemon that evolve via friendship evolution only do so during the day, which if nothing else encourages players to sleep, since playing too much at night will prevent the Pokemon from evolving and thus actively hinder its growth. PokÃ©mon HeartGold and SoulSilver come with the PokÃ©walker, a device that can hold a PokÃ©mon and rewards you with experience points equal to the amount of steps you take. You can also catch wild PokÃ©mon and find items after taking enough steps. In the same games, Professor Oak will also call you and tell you to go to sleep if you stay up too late. This gets very irritating if you happen to work night shift, or are otherwise nocturnal. A related function is the sort of PokÃ©walker counterpart for PokÃ©mon Black and White, the Dream World. You can only enter the Dream World for an hour a day, and there are limits to how much you can do in one session - when visiting other players' Dream World homes you can only water 20 of their berries, you can only make 5 Dream Pal requests, and after enough trips to the Island of Dreams you won't see any more PokÃ©mon or items. However, the actual reason for the hour-a-day limit is so the Global Link's servers don't run out of bandwidth. The Dream Radar tie-in app for PokÃ©mon Black 2 and White 2 regenerates Dream Clouds at a rate of roughly one every five minutes. The more Clouds there are when you start scanning for them, the more Dream Orbs they release when you shoot them, so it's more profitable to wait and let Clouds gather instead of going after them as soon as they pop up. Professor Burnet will also occasionally remind you to take a break after a scanning session. PokÃ©mon X and Y feature "O-Powers", which can be used for a variety of helpful temporary benefits such as lowering store prices, boosting stats, healing, and even making eggs hatch much faster. The Egg Hatching O-Power in particular has tremendous use with improved customization features of the series. The caveat? They cost little orbs on the O-Power screen to use, which when used must regenerate. However, for every thousand steps between 2001 and 4001 registered on the system's pedometer on a given day, the orbs regenerate that much faster. The system pedometer only counts steps while in sleep mode, meaning that just taking a walk while playing won't count. But at 4x O-Power Regeneration, the Level 3 Egg-Hatching O-Power actually restores enough of itself by the time it wears off that it takes hours of consecutive usage to actually need recharging, making the break well worth it. Plus, to unlock the 3rd (max) level effects for each power, the level one must be used enough to unlock level 2, and so on. Good way to get competitive players to take a walk.

The sequel, Monkey Island 2 had the same thing, but every few seconds the text would refresh with a new suggestion for something for you to do. Watching them all takes an hour or so. The fourth game did nearly the same thing, only with a fake error message telling players to get back to work.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: In Final Fantasy XII, the superbosses Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat have eight and fifty million HP, respectively. Unlike other bosses in the game, you do not have to beat them in a single sitting, because they will not recover their health if you leave the area, save, then return later on (although you do need to ensure that Yiazmat hasn't cast Regen before you leave the boss area, as he will recover health with that). Notably the same isn't true with the remaining superboss, Omega Mark XII, whose health will be fully replenished if you exit the area, something that is particularly frustrating in the original Japanese version, where he has ten million HP, rather than one million. Mobius Final Fantasy will flash up a message 2 hours of play, telling you that for a 'deeper, richer' experience you should take regular breaks. After a third hour of play, a message will come up advising you to take a break 'for your health and safety'. After a fourth hour, the game will tell you to take a break and lock you out for two hours. (This may in part be to prevent damage to hardware - the game's great graphics means phones run very hot when asked to play it for a long time. Players have anecdotally reported battery swelling...)

Unfortunately, most food he has may rot depending on how long you leave the game off. During the boss fight with The End a reversal occurs: The player is advised not to save, due to a "bad feeling". If you save and come back in less than a week, The End sneaks up on and captures Snake; if you leave the game off for more than a week, Snake finds that The End has died of old age. An Anti-Poopsocking Easter Egg occurs after Snake has been jailed and tortured. If you save, Para-Medic relates to Snake a passage from Dracula, to which Snake surprisingly reacts in fear. Reset the system and load up the file and rather than seeing the normal screen, you'll open on a Hack N' Slash game called "Guy Savage", where you eviscerate monsters with cane weapons. After a set amount of time, Snake wakes up and calls Para-Medic to berate her for her "Pillow Talk".

But if you played for too long, you would automatically overheat regardless of how close you were to overheating by normal means. Reaching the point where you went into permanent overheat took a while, but even if you overheated normally, there was no point in trying to go on-instead of having a set waiting period before you could use the gun normally again, it merely counted down the invisible meter it used to track the heat, much slower than it heated up in the first place. It liked to toy with you too-it wouldn't make you wait until the gun had completely cooled off, it would just wait for a certain threshold, so that after a rather absurd wait, you'd nearly kill a Bok and the gun would overheat again.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_d328cd69	comment	Dungeon Fighter Online has a Fatigue Point system, by giving each character a cap of 156 rooms they could traverse per 24-hour period. One point is consumed when you enter a new room in a dungeon, and if you run out of Fatigue Points, that character is done for the day. The only exception is if you run out while in a dungeon, in which case you're still allowed to finish. Special dungeons cost 8 Fatigue Points to enter, but there's no additional cost when exploring them. In the current build of the global version, the FP bar is raised to 176 on weekends. There are also Fatigue Potions that can be made via alchemy to recover your FP by 30 but the ingredients for them can be hard to get, as well as different variants available in the Mileage shop that restore 20 and 50 FP, all of which you can use the same day. Before the Season 2 update, if you REALLY wanted to optimize your FP use, you could have another character mentor with you and have them dripfeed you 1 FP at a time, giving you up to 10 additional full dungeon runs. Valley of Fallen Souls dungeons instead use limited numbers of entries per day. (metered by inventory items for Tower of the Dead and Tower of Illusion, by a simple count for Altar of Ascension and Altar of Infinity) You actually get to play them less often than dungeons, but you can do so at no cost to your FP and even when you're completely out. The number of times you can play Altar of Ascension and Infinity is also reset every time you level up, potentially allowing you to run them up to 9-12 times a day if you time them correctly. The NeoPremium contracts introduced in the early September update increase your base FP to 234 and 273 points respectively: if you then proceed to use every kind of daily FP potion available, you'll end up with over 400 FP to spend, which will take over an hour of solid dungeon-crawling to use up and that's assuming you manage to clear every room in 10 seconds and never pick up any items, which more or less defeats the point. Add unskipable load times to that and you'll more than likely add another hour to it and change the room clear times to a more realistic 20-30 seconds with picking up items factored in and you'll probably get closer to 3-4 hours: repeat this over 3-4 characters and you'll probably get your FP restored by the time you're done with the last one, unless you make it a point to just play the game nonstop for the sake of it and never take a single break. The above estimation doesn't even take dungeons that cost no FP to run into account, which will easily add another hour or 2 into the estimate for each character.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_d7081096	comment	All three entries in the Mother series do this. Each game runs an internal timer for two hours, and once it hits that mark, it brings up a message suggesting that you take a break. In EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound (1994), the message appears as a call from your father (oddly, in EarthBound, you can get this call even before you get the Receiver Phone item that enables other characters to call you on the overworld), while in Mother 3, the message comes from Leder's bell (though in this case it's more to remind you to save your game). In EarthBound, Ness tends to spontaneously develop a mild StatusEffect known as homesickness. This can be cured only by calling his mom over a landline phone, and you have to use these same phones to get your father to record your adventures thus far. Incidentally, EarthBound could retroactively be the Trope Namer - a billboard in Threed tells you not to play for more than two hours at a time, and it's said to be from the "Parents Opposing Obsession Plan"...

It's essentially an unskippable cutscene...that doesn't really have any action.

Starting the game multiple times in one day will even cause Leonard Nimoy to think you obsessed or lacking better things to do. In any case, the only thing to do is wait until the next day in realtime before talking to Seaman again (or bumping the Dreamcast's internal clock forward a day, if you don't wish to wait).

Anti Poop-Socking / int_e5dc76d3	comment	In addition to the now fairly standard Rested EXP system, TERA forces mid-session breaks with its Stamina system. Every character has a stamina gauge, normally ranging from 0 to 120%. When Stamina's high, you get extra Max HP and MP. When it's low, you actually lose max HP and MP, as well as your combat effectiveness diminishing in other ways. You lose stamina as you fight (faster in instances) and death or mission failure also come with a stamina penalty. Besides some very rare potions, stamina can only be increased by waiting near temporary campfires or permanent bonfires, requiring the player to take a break from questing or grinding every so often if they actually want to remain effective at it. It also reminds you for every hour of play. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the mention of government mandates on this below, it's from South Korea. The game also has Production Points (PP) for crafters. Every time a player harvests a resource node or crafts an object, an appropriate number of PP is deducted. When the player runs out of PP, harvesting or crafting becomes impossible. These points regenerate over time (five points per five minutes, for a daily yield of 1,440 PP out of a cap of 4,000), and are bound to the player's account, preventing them from just jumping to another character. Of course, the game store sells items to restore PP, if it's so important to you.

Though you can eat food or drink booze to increase the limit, eventually the player simply runs out of things they can do that day. note It's acceptable to have many alts however, as long as they don't help each other, so the real addicts can keep on keeping on. Doesn't stop skilled (and incredibly rich) players from chaining 1-day Casual ascensions, though. Update: As of December 2016, the game will now prevent you from ascending more than twice per real-world day. Forum Warz, Billy vs. SNAKEMAN,, eRepublik and Twilight Heroes all have a similar system.

Each time a mission is completed, the number of ability points awarded is reduced; discouraging extended grinding. There is a skill aquired early on, Meditation, that enables players to gain ability points over time, whether they're logged in or not; encouraging players to spend extended time away from the game. (It start out granting 1 point every real-time hour; with the rate going up as the skill is levelled.) Along with this, certain parts of the mainstream storyline quests, as well as a few side quests, require the character to wait until the next real-time day to aquire the necessary item/information to proceed with the quest.

Anti Poop-Socking / int_f858847a	comment	PokÃ©mon X and Y feature "O-Powers", which can be used for a variety of helpful temporary benefits such as lowering store prices, boosting stats, healing, and even making eggs hatch much faster. The Egg Hatching O-Power in particular has tremendous use with improved customization features of the series. The caveat? They cost little orbs on the O-Power screen to use, which when used must regenerate. However, for every thousand steps between 2001 and 4001 registered on the system's pedometer on a given day, the orbs regenerate that much faster. The system pedometer only counts steps while in sleep mode, meaning that just taking a walk while playing won't count. But at 4x O-Power Regeneration, the Level 3 Egg-Hatching O-Power actually restores enough of itself by the time it wears off that it takes hours of consecutive usage to actually need recharging, making the break well worth it. Plus, to unlock the 3rd (max) level effects for each power, the level one must be used enough to unlock level 2, and so on. Good way to get competitive players to take a walk.

Like the general "shop close" example above, this can be done as a way of preventing new players from joining in so close to the arcade's closing time; sure, you can play a round without a card, but many players who use cards won't enjoy doing that.

Those logged-out time stats apply to characters individually and also builds up patrol XP, which allows you to gain 1.5 times the normal amount of XP per kill until it runs out, so really what it does is encourage people to rotate their characters.
