    Interesting… she’s worried these games are like width, but her solution is to find one of her own… ok?

    It’s an interesting point she’s making, and while i agree that games can be tedious and do kind of align with a bs job, she can easily limit her kids playing those kinds of games without fear they won’t be able to eat or have shelter.

    No one works a bs job because they want to, but because they need the money.

    While games are a source of entertainment. So im not really sure the point she’s trying to make here, besides games bad. Yes, they can be bad, but as a parent it’s you’re responsibility to limit that then. And before any one asks, yes i’m a parent.

    TLDR: Severus’ cousin Zoe doesn’t get the silly nonsense the other kids are laughing about.

    We live in a world where people are connecting electronically - instead of the playground, park, school etc. Many of these otherwise engaging places are now off-limits to kids without a parent hovering over them. Good luck being a kid and wanting to explore your neighborhood on your own. Enter the electronic game where a kid can have adventures to test their independent reasoning and reward their curiosity and their friends are waiting there to hang out too. Maybe she could focus on making her local park more welcoming and engaging.

    As someone with a lot of close friends and acquaintances over at Discord who have a ton of experience with gacha games and grind fests, I can tell you most games are designed to suck you off dry mentally. We have a joke “X game took our souls away”.

    I have been a 4 year old Dokkan player, perhaps top 2 or 3 gachas globally, and it is the only F2P friendly gacha I know of that treats F2P players nicely instead of treating them like COD Mobile (stupid rank grind) or Genshin (bad summon rates) or DB Legends (absolute monstrous p2w design with metas changed every month) or Fate (bad summon rates) or 7ds (weird game) and so on. Most of it comes down to predatory gambling and forceful grinds that are extremely time investing.

    It seems wrong though to quantify entertainment as a job. How can you explain any form of entertainment as a job, when it is leisure? Calling leisure a job is straight up some dystopian robotic slavery shit. And this article writer is a shithead if they really believe in what story they are trying to sell here.

      When kids exchange socialization with other kids and instead of enjoy the day stay in a room playing 8h a day is unhealthy both mentally/physically

        All people do not play 8 hours a day. I used to do that as a kid in my Counter Strike days on servers with Red Bull, a Lays bag and my chair, and I got over it quickly. Even kids do not keep doing that.

        I hate generalisation. ARGHH why can people not stop generalising every damn thing in life and society?

          Well, I don’t think this article is trying to talk about you, but about some cohort. A group that got lost in games, and may not develop correctly to be a strong, healthy unit.

          When i talk 8h is with school-time included (Closed down)

          about the cs part yes i played much has well sleeping on 4am, what changed is that when you were a kid you didn’t have your dad/mom cellphone to play games from young age or a ps4 waiting for you at home (Has i said on a young age) not 15 + years old
