Interested in this argument? I miiight have also written a book that talks about gaming and addiction. "If we want to know why many teens choose...to spend 10 or 20 hours a week playing games, rather than pathologising them, we ought to look around us."

Congratulations to @CACMmag on becoming Open Access! 🎉🎉🎉 This AE is thrilled 🤩🤩🤩 Check it out! cacm.acm.org
"Communications of the ACM" (@CACMmag) Is Now Open Access
🤩👏🏽
"More than six decades of CACM’s renowned research articles, seminal papers, technical reports, commentaries, real-world practice, and news articles are now open to everyone"
Right on!
🙏🏽@TheOfficialACM
ALT By opening CACM to the world, ACM hopes to increase engagement with the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover its rich resources and the benefits of joining the largest professional computer science organization. This move will also benefit CACM authors by expanding their readership to a larger and more diverse audience. Of course, the community’s continued support of ACM through membership and the ACM Open model is essential to keeping ACM and CACM strong, so it is critical that current members continue their membership and authors encourage their institutions to join the ACM Open model to keep this effort sustainable.

It's pretty wild that I can now play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with my kid and race through VANCOUVER 😜
I would of course have my own suggestions for culturally significant landmarks to include, but the YVR representation is exciting nonetheless 😘
