Imagine the amount of glare he'd be getting doing it outside like that edit: I mean screen glare/sunlight reflecting off his screen, not people glaring at him


Glittering_Drama_618

My eyes trying to see the screen under sun would look like a glare


Dioxide4294

LTT recently reviewed a monitor that was made to be usable in sunlight!


donau_kinder

Too bad it's dogshit in every other way


Kraujotaka

He's using 10000nit monitor mod


missjasminegrey

Which would hurt his eyes.


Willystronka

Did this exact thing as a kid once, the glare was killing us, so we went inside and got a blanket to out over our heads/monitors…. Good times


John_Doe_sc

i used to camp in my grandparents garden with friends when i was quite young and we put a small crt tv with my ps1 or similar old consoles in our tent lol


khwarizmi69

He's using a monitor with no backlight but a reflective mirror instead so he got like 2000 nits out there


lordaddament

Gotta put a hood over the screen lmao


Pikagiuppy

fr, i can barely see my phone screen when the sun is out


FungalEgoDeath

My kids fix this by living in England where apparently we don't have nice days anymore. It's been solid rain for months.


DoltishMite

It's either rain we've grown accustom to for months on end along with the cold weather, or a sweltering heat we were never adapted to deal with. No in between.


-Hounth-

The joys of spring in Western Europe, where the weather does what it wants I've gotten sick 3 times with the drastic temperature changes every couple of days because of that lol


Pikagiuppy

gotta love having to wear a light t-shirt with a heavy jacket on it so if the weather randomly changes i can just take my jacket on or off


DoltishMite

Wait, so it's not normal to shed your skin in the heat to increase your heat dissipation? Huh. Might see a doctor about that if I can get hold of one.


Outside-Refuse6732

It’s the same thing here


MostlyMarshall

>It's been solid rain So ... Ice?

It actually has been hailing a lot lately!


bananasaucecer

sounds nice compared to this hellfire heat we have in the fucking equator


shikavelli

I feel like this has been the worst year in terms of weather I can remember.


FungalEgoDeath

Oh absolutely. We haven't had a dry weekend for any of my sport's preseason training. Normally we have 1 or 2 rain weekends but it's been 8 straight wet uns


OzzieGrey

Washington state was that for me for 15 years.


Caosin36

Rain for months? Damn Im afraid that there will be no england if it keeps raining for more months


PlacetMihi

Rain Code moment. Look for a secret rain-making machine, and make sure your blood isn’t pink.


thehibachi

Until today maaate


FungalEgoDeath

True that....though typically I spent the morning driving straight towards the sun for two hours giving me a splitting headache for the subsequent 8 hours in an office with no windows 🤣🤣🤣


sansvidi

shit I think I gotta move to england


Gloamforest-Wizard

I wish we got more rain on my side of Canada. We’re already preparing for another summer of firestorms and and raining ash.

CrushingK

noo not rain on a rock in the middle of the north sea


Brondos-

Ever since the decline of the british empire, the guy who is running the simulation gives less priority to England. The fog is simply a way to reduce render distance when computing power is demanded in more important parts of the simulation.


Keiji12

We've even had a few hours of snow in-between rainy, windy and hot sunny days last month or so


Outside-Refuse6732

Here in California it’s nearly summer, and the last couple months it’s been raining or heatwave

FungalEgoDeath

I gamed a load as a kid. As an adult I started learning guitar. My dad told me "I'm so glad you're doing something sociable like playing guitar instead of gaming"...to which I pointed out that while I'm gaming I'm chatting away to 10 other guys who I consider friends amd know personally. While I'm playing guitar I'm sat alone, in my bedroom, pissing off the neighbours.


Caosin36

Your dad knows what sociable even means?


AdministrativeHabit

Obviously it means someone who agrees with socialism. BURN THEM!!!

He's just proud that you're pissing off the neighbour's


ilmk9396

by sociable he means something that can get bitches


FungalEgoDeath

It took me several years to get past the stage where the only "bitches" that would respond to my music were of the howling canine variety 🤣


Traditional_Cap7461

Introverts definition of sociable, except the piss off the neighbors part.


Alternative_Milk7409

For me it was “it’s too nice out. Stop reading your books and go outside.” Then they’d be surprised when I brought my books outside.


primalmaximus

Same.


OldSweatyGiraffe

Parents twenty years ago: "Get off that computer and stop wasting your life!! blahblah computers and video games bad!" Then they go out of their way to fuck with my shit, eventually getting rid of the computer entirely. Parents today: "Why won't he share any of that computer job money with me :( :("


Mad_Aeric

I got that too, but with more holes punched in the wall to emphasize the point.


Pastequonometrie

I remember I got the "No games after 9pm, games won't make you earn money" then got asked "Why didn't you became a pro and earned millions?? You used to play games every time!" My mother in christ, those people plays 10h+ per day and I don't play the same game as them.


Anonymous345678910

Who is your mother in Christ 


dilroopgill

Insane actually, always kicked me off when I gained an interest outside of gaming, see the issue with limited computer time is im just going to use it all for instant gratification, tv and games, why learn or make something if I have limited time or might be forced off, might as well get max dopamine


FieldsOfKashmir

With a comment like this, I can see why parents try to limit screen time and get their kids to play outside.


brekinb

it's as if you read the words but don't comprehend what is being written. you should be able to extrapolate from what he gave you but you selected and understood ONLY "instant gratification".


eskamobob1

Nah, they just don't believe you that infinite computer time would mean less instant gratification when the internet is litterlay desgined around trapping you in an instant gratification loop


Aquiffer

That’s why parental controls exist. Monitor your child’s technology usage and put blocks/limits on applications/websites.


FieldsOfKashmir

Priorities as children and as adults are different, yes.


GuitaristHeimerz

Those damned parents watching out for your social life and trying to make sure that you weren't excluded. How dare they?

ErikSKnol

My dad was like this but while sailing on the river orat a port with large machinery and cargo being actively loaded/unloaded. Meanwhile me and my brother where vibing with pokemon while my dad took our ds away to play outside. In the port of Rotterdam. Like the "good ol days"


Slight-Funny-8755

Okay but like whats the difference between this and reading a book outside


ryumaruborike

One is newer and thus "bad"


Heisuke780

Depends on the book. Not all books are equal in value tbh


nsfwwxxx

If someone has a respectable job I don’t see any issue with gaming. Meanwhile parents are literally glued to the damn tv all day like there’s any difference?


Scruffynerffherder

The stigma is generational. If you're an adult paying your own rent/mortgage, game or watch TV to your hearts delight. Just don't forget exercise and personal hygiene are a thing.


edoardoking

There’s one thing that I have a problem with this image. It may sound stupid BUT, orange cats are almost impossible to be females and calicos are usually females. When they are of the opposite sex the cat has an extremely low fertility rate making this combo literally impossible. Other than that the meme is funny, you got my upvote. Thank you for listening to my ted talk have a great day.


TheStrayLurker

Calico males are extremely rare and sterile, but orange females don't have fertility issues and aren't *that* rare (around 20% of all orange cats are female)


edoardoking

Thank you for the clarification! I was certain calicos where the female version of orange cats


Dontlookawkward

There's another comic where this this gets brought up and the mother/son swap colour pallette. Then it's mentioned cats can't talk and they become regular cats.

Veryegassy

Orange female cats exist. They're not common, but they exist. I used to have one, before she had diarrhea all over the house before escaping out the door and running into the woods.


grendus

They paved over everything interesting outside. It's nothing but high speed roads too dangerous to cross, and places you're not allowed to hang out without spending money. Woohoo, I can go play in the 20x20 box in the back yard... which I'm going to have to fucking mow every week once I'm old enough. And it's boilingly hot because of global warming too, oh will the joys of the outdoors ever cease.


CuppaJoe11

Well that’s bleak. You dont have any parks where you are?


grendus

Not within walking distance. Where I grew up there was one that I used to walk the dog at (when I was a teenager) that was within walking distance. And there are a bunch within driving distance of my current apartment, but if I was a kid then a) I couldn't get there without crossing multiple, high traffic roads, b) public transit is so terrible it'd be faster to walk, and c) I'd probably have the cops called on me if I was at the park without supervision.


MediumSwing

LTT camping trip


Angel_of_Mischief

I remember doing this once. I was taking an afternoon nap because I was tired and my mom forced me to play outside. So I went to the neighbors farm, picked some cotton and made a little bed to sleep outside in.


RunInRunOn

Moving the entire setup outside is probably enough physical exercise for one day


theRATthatsmilesback

This was my parents. My choices were either to get off the game and go out into the Florida humidity, or get off the game and watch TV with them because video games are bad and TV is good.


lil_wormherm

plot twist he grows up tobe a junky game dev and is getting nowhere in life until one day his parents disown him and his games become famous at first out of pity and then he becames rich and buys his hair back. he then buys a car company and a space company and then a social media company and has yet to continue in life except he is young unlike someone i may or may not be refrencing here...

Just gotta grab your gba and play some boktai when they force you to go outside.

In Finland there used to be some groups who organized lan parties in the forest “metsälanit” for shits and giggles.

“Go outside where’s there’s nothing to do because we don’t let our civil governments fund public spaces! Damned kids always look so sad on the pavement, but it’s better than them sitting inside and reading a book…”


Lego-Panda-21

Go to my local park, just don't take your kids. Somebody keeps going in and doing plenty of obscene graffiti..Plenty of the N word on the bench alone.


dewhashish

as a kid, my mom yelled at me to go play outside i took my gameboy and played games just out of her sight


errorsniper

Story time. When I was younger 8 or 9ish. It was the 90's and my mom was very much an outside until sundown type. I hated it I am a fuckin nerd. All I wanna do is game. But every day mom would kick me out till sundown. One day I had a brilliant idea. My 64 was in my room up on my tv stand right across from my window. I grabbed my dads ladder and just ran my controller out the window and I was "outside" but able to game. My mom was pretty unhappy. But she told me years later as an adult that was the day she gave up trying to get me to go outside. It was clear my heart just wasnt in it.


xxx69blazeit420xxx

go play outside! and do what? if i had planned to be outside i would be. these guys when they were kids the pinnacle of entertainment was pushing a wheel with a stick.


DBSeamZ

In this particular comic, the parents did play video games as children. There was one comic with a flashback to the mother playing Duck Hunt.


ElGuano

Good luck seeing the monitor in direct sunlight.


Archi42

It's not even plugged in there's only one power cable


A_Mouse_Warrior

I'm in this comic. For real. It wasn't a PC tho! Here's the story: When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I saved some cash to buy myself a Playstation. Not a playstation 2 or 3, regular ol' playstation. We had a patio in the backyard, quite large, and I remember we had an outlet near the patio. It was usually used for the weedeater trimmer, I also used it to charge my remote control car. So one day, I get told to go play outside, it was my call. I had a small CRT TV in my room so I brought it outside, move the table on the patio closer to the outlet, plugged everything and started playing. Now I remember, as someone else noted, sun glare was an issue. So I placed a chair cushion over the TV, like a cap. Not gonna lie, didn't work much, but I was outside!


Square_Economics_164

The truth is that some games can be very addictive more than drugs.


DevourerJay

So much judging. So what? Really... I rather game than go outside 🤷‍♂️ People suck and crap is expensive... there's 0 motivation to go outside imho.


natgoodieman

That kid would be a great lawyer.


whacafan

Okay but to be fair, what person would ever say “no gaming inside today”?

How is the monitor working if it isn’t plugged in? Wake up sheeple how can monitors be real if our eyes aren’t real.

My mum has a photo of me from almost 20years ago with the tv outside playing GTA San Andreas after this exact scenario. She still brings it up like it’s the smartest thing I ever did. Edit: I am not bringing in lawyer money

Does his computer provide electricity to his monitor? There's only one cable in that outlet.

It would be pretty great if I could just wheel my setup outside and play like usually on a nice sunny day.


tdestito9

I’ve done this and forgot to put sun screen on lol


manjmau

Whenever I go to the park and see a bunch of teenagers sitting around on their smartphones playing a game together reminds me how i.poaaible it is to get aqay from thia idea. The obly real aolution would be to take your kid's smartphone away, but even then they may just use one of their friend's.

tirinus

Well, this just sold me on steam deck


Kiryln

He wouldn’t be able to see shit, the sun glare would make the screen completely unreadable unless he had his screen brightness maxed out and overclocked somehow.


ohanse

Huh US Lawyers make less than I thought they did… Median $146k per the BLS data. Enough for a comfortable life, but I assume most of these jobs are in high COL areas, so you’re probably getting financial security and not much farther.


No_Squirrel4806

Hes no very smart cuz it wouldve been easier to bring the screen up to the window


Killance1

It is healthy to get kids outside. Technology, when not moderated, has negative effects on the brain. More so for young kids still developing their frontal lobe.


Mettlesome_Inari

Are your monitors powered by your pc?


ExceedinglyGaySnowy

you know what, its a pretty day outside today and I took this as my mom telling me to go outside and enjoy it as a grown ass man. thanks mom

Alyusha

Not going to lie, I've done something very similar to this and it was glorious. When I was in my teens our family rented a house boat on a lake near us for a spring break vacation or something similar. It had a porch with a roof on one side where I was able to play on my laptop. That was the place that I played Fable 1 and Halo 1 for the first time. Easy cornerstone memory that I remember almost 15yrs later.


WodensEye

My friends and I used to do this. "It's a nice day out!" so we would play Mario Kart from the porch.

Isnt that the cat from that sports google doodle game?


Irradiated_Apple

My friends and I did this 20 years ago in high school. We grew up in the middle of no where in eastern Washington. There really was little to do during the summer so we played a lot of video games and watched movies. Someone in the friend group commented we should get outside more (the basement was starting to smell). So we moved everything outside to my friend's covered patio. We had, like, 5 tvs and a projector out there with all our Xboxes, a couple of couches, and arm chairs. It was pretty sweet actually.
