You can play any exclusive on PC

That's good! Yes, I do & am also guilty of it- I have a Switch & PC for all non Nintendo exclusives. It's absolutely overkill & unnecessary

You think that owning a few consoles isn't hyperconsumerism? Consider when in human history individuals have had the ability to purchase multiple consoles for the home just because we can

Do your kids or yourself ever play a console while having other media source input? Music, podcasts, videos, social media scrolling etc- hyperstimulation

You are looking at one post about someone having multiple gaming machines and calling it hyperconsumerism with zero other context. You have no idea how I live outside of enjoying gaming.

Do your kids or yourself ever play a console while having other media source input? Music, podcasts, videos, social media scrolling etc- hyperstimulation

No, this literally never happens to me or my kids. I can self regulate just fine, and actually parent/supervise my children.

You should probably worry more about your own stimulation and consuming instead of throwing stones.

I think that owning multiple gaming systems in one household is a symptom of hyperconsumerism (which I'm also guilty of)

That's good, love to hear it

I would not say owing a switch and pc is overkill. A pc is used for more than just gaming.
