are comparing this game to crack cocaine because the matches are short and there's no macro
sounds slightly interesting, might check it out at some point.
we are pivoting societally into technology where we will be spending alot more time in the future
I aim to spend a lot less. Even though I'm a programmer I'm starting to get techology fatigue. Looking up at the sky instead of down at a screen. Small personal communities instead of global impersonal "communities". I see the irony, I'm writing this on an anonymous internet community...

It's pretty fun. I like it because the matches are short enough I'm not forty minutes into a HaloWars2 game when Toddler wakes up and I need forfeit the match and only play one or two games all day so I can be a proper mom. These matches only go 10m tops and often are shorter because of winning/losing/forfeiting.

I see the future of our social lives being heavily impacted by technology in two different ways. If the good guys win, we will find a balance of developing and manufacturing technology, using technology etc and we will have technology be used to our advantage without becoming screen slaves. If the bad guys win, we will become enslaved to technology and slaves to the screen to the point of a dystopia worse than the movie Idiocracy. We will be like the Borg in Star Trek. But, I think it's commendable your looking for a lifestyle change. I find being alone or with friends in nature is one of the most rewarding experiences.
Would you have advice for a chick like me trying to get her spouse to want to spend more time off the computer? My attempts seem to demoralize him and making him feel bad to get him to spend less time on the computer is not my goal. He is extremely social with his two roomate/friends at the house but doesnt want to meet new people (Because alot of them suck in LA) and is too much of a night owl because of gaming that he doesnt want to go alot of places very often. He finds the world beyond the wall too boring, time consuming and/or expensive. He's fit enough for us to go anywhere and do anything but I can't seem to figure out how to inspire him to get comfortable enough out of the house that he doesnt think about when we can go home.

Sounds possible, unfortunately.

I've tried to think and figure out an answer and all I can think of is wait til he gets older and more sentimental. Though... also I can't get Citizen Kane out of my head. What I get out of Citizen Kane is that (all?) men have a deep desire to fulfill the dreams of their woman. So rather than pushing him, drag him by showing/indicating how much you like the outdoors. Maybe he wants to fulfil your dreams. Though really, people are different.
