It hits so hard, as I'm a dad now, with two sons. Gotta be there for them like my dad was for me in his own way.

I'm pretty sure a lot of research shows that limiting screen time for kids is a good thing.

I definitely know that not having access to screens all the time made me have stronger social skills in school than I would've had staring at cartoons every chance I got. Being on the computer from the moment I got home was sure as hell bad enough. Once I started skateboarding, my social life took off much faster. Being out, no screens, in a social context where people are just being offline people.

When I was in school, we talked. And when we didn't talk, we just sat, bored, together. It was bonding in a way that the brain needs. You need to just sit in silence with someone and be bored together sometimes, man. Boredom feeds creativity. We were also walking around the halls, taking walks outside, going out and touching grass, getting some sun. This was even in high school.

Sure as fuck wouldn't have done that if I could watch shows and doom scroll every break.

I'm glad they're banning phones in schools here soon. Gonna be good for learning/concentration, and creativity. E-learning is awful for learning, and I can't imagine leasure-time with phones and other devices help with concentration either, even if they "earned it".

You're right, of course. I've had such monitors myself for over a decade. I just didn't think of that. 😄️

90 must be some compromise value then, I suppose. I wouldn't go for that personally as I find 120 is the absolute minimum for some high-paced games. Preferably 240 fps and above. Sometimes I do play Shapez 2 at like 60 fps, because there's almost no movement on-screen. If I'm working and I'm just idling, waiting for shapes to churn in, I'll even set it to 30. 😅️
