I loved your article! It was enjoyable to reflect on my own former gaming experiences through reading about yours. The simple 1:2 rule your parents used is so smart.

I also wanted to compliment your clever writing. "Some people can eat tons of junk food without gaining weight, others will gain 10 pounds just by noticing the golden arches through the windshield."

It's true, whatever tendencies gaming brings out of us were probably already there or could get triggered elsewhere, but "the real danger of videogames is the time they steal from you." When I quit gaming, I became less of a consumer and more of a creator.

Thank you for sharing this important message. I was looking for good articles on the subject to help me write more about it too. :)
