Yea even if you're literally landlocked to Nvidia and have no other platforms / interests, I still don't get how 3 hours a day would be a problem.
Smart timing though with the kids on winter break. They're for sure getting that extra charge this month lol.
So, let's do some breakdown. Let's say 365.25 days per year. Divide by 12, that's 30.4375 days per month. 100 hours per month is 3.29 hours per day. That's almost 23 hours per week.
A reasonable person working 8-5 might get 2 hours of recreation per day during the week. That takes up 2 hours per day, 5 days a week for 10 hours during the week. That leaves 13 hours on the weekend, or 6.5 hours per day.
Realistically, that's a reasonable amount of time to play video games. On the other hand, fuck these arbitrary restrictions, play games locally.
6.5 hours per day every weekend does not seem reasonable or healthy to me.
Hell, if someone was exercising that much or fishing or knitting or any hobby, it wouldn’t seem healthy. Once in a while, sure. But, not every weekend.
There’s a lot of unhappy gamers downvoting us.
