When I grew up my parents said only video games during winter or when it’s dark. Otherwise I had to be out riding my bike, playing pick up basketball/football at the park etc.
Also back then there was no online video games so even if you were playing with a friend they were still with you in person.

My kid used to have, and go to, LAN parties when he was in high school. All these boys would lug in their computers with assorted accoutrements and sit there all night playing and having fun.
I don't remember if they snacked on chicken tenders and Mountain Dew or not! 😄
Ahh, LAN parties were the best. And N64 parties, bringing all your friends over to play split-screen Mario Kart 64, Smash Bros 64, or Goldeneye 64 multiplayer. Kids really don't understand the things they're missing out on these days.
Glad I grew up in the era of being able to be a free range kid. Up and out in the morning and home for lunch and when the street lights came on. The best of days, they were!

They really and truly don't, such a shame!
