Chinese Gaming Limits

[MoKelly]

Chinese love their gambling. Ever go to. A casino on a Saturday morning? They're bussed in by the thousands. At one casino I saw them pull out regular tables like blackjack and brought in gaming they liked.

I’ve been to Macau.

Unbelievable.

Las Vegas on steroids.

Agreed, and now many schools won’t suspend problem children. They are left in the classroom to continue to disrupt the learning process.

I'm a HS teacher. That problem varies by school district. The feds effectively put quotas because of the perception that suspensions are racially motivated. Sadly, some may be, and that is awful. In my experience, kids who step out of line get suspended, until the fed lines get crossed. This is Texas though, where corporal punishment is still technically legal.

Cub, that is now in the US and much of the west. Google assisted China in the development.

True, but profit (ie how to sell us more crap) is the main purpose of the harvesting and the monitoring of our data, not to force an ideology on us...not yet anyway.

My son grew up just before the gaming craze. He had plenty of other electronic distractions but a little too old for the online gaming craze.

First of all, i don't understand how it works, they must buffer this stuff to death? Don't matter.

The Chinese govt has just put in place regulations re gaming. they will limit online gaming to..

1 hour friday, 1 hour saturday, 1 hour sunday and holidays.

i'm convinced that gaming is an addiction just like the smart phone, tv, food, drugs etc etc. which involves questions of morality.

the one thing i know for sure, you can not legislate morality.

I ride the metro in China when I travel there. Everyone is glued to their phones. I see couples eating dinner together, and both are glued to their phones.

Saw a family of four in the diner where I eat breakfast on Saturdays, doing the same thing. Don't think I ever heard them speak to each other.
Technology has been allowed to destroy family life.

I traveled for work so i speant a lot of time in restaurants alone. i got used to it and always brought a book or magazine.

i would watch older, i assume married couples, and notice that in many many cases, there was not much if any conversation.

now they are looking at their phones.

Never heard of Chinese gaming, actually. The issue is controversial. On the one hand, gaming is an addiction if it’s not well controlled by yourself or your parents. On the other hand, it develops your mind. Of course, it depends on what games you actually play. For example, these games (https://cdkeysforgames.com/) are good for strategy thinking, I’m sure. For example, soccer. I have no doubt that playing soccer in the yard is much better, but covid’s not gone away. So, I think FIFA is a good alternative that develops your strategy skills. It’s just an example. We should limit our time spent on the Internet or playing games, but we definitely don’t have to get rid of it.
