Gaming n tech enthusiast goes hand in hand.

Only way to test ure hardware
N immerse new fidelity

Thinking back now laughable how long it took for 1080p,1200p,1440p&1600p to finally be conquered with min 60fps

Dx12 should push that further.

yes you do loose time on gaming while you can improve on your social skills and physical development, but most gamers like us know where to buy PC parts and assemble our own PC format and install OS. These are skills of trouble shooting and being resourceful, you learn as you play not like our education system where learning has to be boring and suffering.

There are lots of games that are educational, like the total war series especially the realism mods they teach you about real history and what people from that age experience and went through where you can never get from books battle ships model, army formation, architecture models.

Then for aircraft simulation games you get to experience driving different models of plances from fighter jets to commercial aircrafts, how much do you need to spend to actually get those experiences?

Do you know economic professors acctually study and research about economic models from MMORPG like world of warcraft . The topic is called Virtual Economy.

University of florida(an ivy league university) has a  honors class in starcraft

RPG gaming is the new human literature of the 21st century. Classic final fantasy are the Shakespeare of the gaming world.

you make them miss out so much.
yes teaching kids self discipline is very important in life its much more effective than controling them using physical punishment, let them know the consequences of gaming addiction, and how to gain balance life at an early age.
how is it derailing its about parenting

Dude I doubt anybody here is bothered to listen to a total stranger abt parenting.

It's more of ranting/bitching as far as I can tell ...so far all are talking abt quiting/ y they quit/ n future aspirations for their children..

As for the enrichment of ones mind.. Any mature person can tell you ..anyone can learn from anything by just changing you're prespective on it be it gaming or baking.

Back on gaming. Hmm so far looks like SOM & DYING LIGHT were good in the last few months.

So many AAA titles were bad. Totally gonna boycot ubisoft. Techland really up their game on support. N Warner games are somewhat reliable so looking forward to the new batman.

2014 awards SOM took a few categories but hmm dragon age inquisition was bad yet it won .

Dude u guys are mainly talking about quiting gaming. N nothing on gaming.

Fair point.

As for childcare tips there are other threads n it's more of hobby vs time spend with child. Gaming , baking lol n playing golf or even going to gym has the same common issue... Having time for your self. Productivity of each hobby is really a matter of perspective. If ure spouse/family has issues with it then in my opinion you basically misrepresented yourself to her. Hobby addiction nvr really goes away unless it's a financial issue etc.
Social aspects.. Come on. As we grow older friends etc all face same issue...not enough time for hobby n even sleep.
This hobby to me among my friends is cheaper n healthier than blowing few $k every weekend etc.

Raising a child in this era/country.. Gaming influence is the least of ure worries. In fact looks like one can earn from it either by e-sport/a degree in game architecture etc/ or even streaming on gameplay/guide etc.

I would think since everybody here is aged.. So they would be thrilled at where gaming is at in the last three years

Laughable at how last ten years even 1200p/1600p was a struggle. Or how screen ratios has change.
Btw has anyone here even tried shield tablet. Settles half of your woes.

N how game developers nowadays take ppl for a ride with bad product/dlcs/ season pass etc.

So really is more interesting is what games you all play rather than talking about not playing.

As u said. Steam Lynn mummy n daddy gamers. That means some financial commitment on hardware also.

Cause so far you guys are far from the avid daddy gamers I know. We talk about games n hardware. How ppl bitching 2k gpu now is expensive when we were all paying more than that n it only was good for 30fps 1440x900 etc.

As for time to game.. Shield tablet is ure answer. There is always time but not so much as sitting infront of your computer since we have to mobile.

With Nvidia 980m .. We finally have a laptop graphics that's on par with desktop.
Or maybe I don't belong in this group of daddy gamers.
Hence my last post till somebody in common ground shows up.
