go play outside

The sentence that comes from Mom's mouth the second she sees you having played video games for too long

Older video games like "Ultima VI: The False Prophet" (1990) originally had concise (short) durations due to technological limitations at the time, but they're now used by children to "survive" screen time limits on gaming imposed by their parents. Can't imagine Mom having said, "Go play outside," while they're still stuck in watching the cutscenes of modern-day AAA video games.
