The idea of using game feedbacks systems for diagnosis is great. Not only would it be very useful for kids but it might mean much cheaper diagnostic equipment.
The study on screen time is interesting. But I think we're asking the wrong question. If someone watched TV for 8 hours a day, we'd agree that's not good for development. Surely, abundant screen time is similar. Do we really need research to confirm it's not the healthiest of habits?
You’re absolutely right about the TV/screen time thing. The researchers here were trying to link it to mental health issues, which is what I got hung up on. The extended screen time isn’t good for you because it prevents you from doing/experiencing other things, not because it is associated with mental health issues…if that subtle distinction makes sense?
I think that's that's case for most people. I think there's also something to be said for automation, such as putting on a show or game you are already familiar with, so it requires fewer mental resources. The mind and body are attracted to efficiency, making it a low-resistance option. Maybe they should study people who keep playing the same games!
Oh man a horror game where it can sense the sweat of your hands. Maybe if it can sense voice as well like when it hears you’re passing the controller to a friend. Game changed

Right?? I mean, I’d be HORRIBLE at playing these games but it would be SO much fun!!
Thanks for the feature ❤️
Anytime, thank you for that initial reply, would not have found you otherwise!
