According to ESA's report, the number of gamers in the United States is about 215.5 million in 2022, accounting for 66 percent of the total population. Today, 97 percent of americans recognize the benefits of playing video games, especially their physical and mental health. "We are very happy with this year's data." "The game industry is at an exciting time," says Stanley pierre-louis, ESA's chief executive. Eighty-nine percent of American players say playing games can relieve stress, and 88 percent believe playing games can help improve cognitive skills, the report said. ESA's questionnaire also showed that 88 percent of players believe video games can bring different types of people together. Eighty-three percent of players said the game helped them meet new friends and build new relationships -- a five percent increase from 2021. Sixty-one percent of players claim that video games help them keep in touch with their families (up 8 percent from a year earlier). Seventy-seven percent of parents play games with their children. In the United States, smartphones are the most common game device: 70 percent of players often use their phones to play games, and only 18 percent rarely play games on their phones. From a category point of view, casual games (including elimination, puzzle, parties, music dance and other segments) are still the most popular among American players.The report also found that more and more people are aware of the benefits of video games, such as getting people from different backgrounds together, improving cognitive skills and alleviating stress. In 2022, the average age of American players is 33 years old, averaging 13 hours a week, up 7 percent from 2021. In addition, 69 percent of American families have at least one player, while nearly a third of American adults who play games have become parents. Pierre louie points out that the number of American players over 45 is higher than those under 18, and that many players believe video games can have a positive impact on mental health. At the same time, video games can also help players learn important life skills. "Players and parents agree that video games are important to develop cognitive skills and creativity. Teachers are using this opportunity to teach the next generation of responsible digital citizens. If you've attracted the attention of children who play games, Why don't you take the time to explain how to protect yourself online security, prudent spending, and how to use parental control? American players believe video games can help them develop valuable life skills, such as problem-solving, conflict resolution and leadership skills Pierre Louis, for example, said 63 percent (up 8 percent from a year earlier) of American players believed games could help them learn conflict resolution skills. 61 per cent (up 7 per cent from a year earlier) said the game helped develop leadership skills. In addition, during the outbreak, more and more American players play games with others online or online, accounting for 83 percent. In 2020 and 2021, the figures were 65 per cent and 77 per cent respectively. "The vast majority of parents agree that video games are good for their children, especially in education and personal development." "77 percent of parents play games with their children every week, at least once, which is really exciting," Pierre louie said. "two years ago, the percentage was only 55 percent, up to 74 percent last year and continues to grow this year." In addition, esa is also the organizer of E3, a famous game show, but this year's E3 exhibition has been cancelled. Pierre louie confirmed that esa plans to hold E3 again in 2023 through digital exhibitions and offline activities, and will soon release more details.

However, there are not many people who are born with natural beauty, but more than the effort they make, and in this case, the fastest and easiest way to improve their looks may be to protect their skin, just like some stars, although they are four and fifty years old, but they look more than ten years younger than people of the same age.

The reason why the use of skin care products is in a certain order, because the skin on our face is more tender and weak than those in other places. From this picture, it is not difficult to see that it is divided into three levels. The bottom of the dermis layer is divided into the basement layer, spinous layer, granular layer, transparent layer and cuticle layer. The infiltration and absorption effect of each layer on skin care products is of certain difference, so the order cannot be wrong, otherwise the skin care products are waste. Skin is not preserved. So according to the years of skincare experience, we have sorted out the correct order of skincare, according to this order, we can make every layer of skin nourish, so that the skin keeps young and energetic. 1. cleansing Cleansing is something we do every day, but after careful observation, we will find that many people are sloppy, so that all we remove is the stain and dust of the skin. What we need to do is prepare about 40 degrees of warm water. It can reduce the feeling of stimulation to skin, secondly, when cleaning, should pay special attention to the place that often produces oil, it is easy to accumulate grease here, we can wash face milk more often, and cooperate with certain techniques deep cleaning, clear pore.

If you belong to oil. It is suggested to use refreshing some skin care water directly pat absorption. After finishing the water, the face water is moist, if at this time collocation USES the essence, the effect is better, of course, the essence should choose according to their own needs when choosing the corresponding product. Dry skin because the skin secretes less oil, it is easy to appear tight feeling even the situation of the skin, in the daily skin care, must use more water to protect wet skin skin, form a protective film on the surface of the skin, and the relative oil skin babies, Need to use a few clear type of product, summer use only emulsion, winter use face cream. 3. essence The sisters who often care for skin care may know that the essence plays an irreplaceable role in the maintenance of skin, which is the reason why it is expensive but a bottle of human hands. Compared with the hundreds of essence, China has a "low down" essence, a large bottle of milk tea as long as a price of dozens of yuan, the money of two cups of milk tea can make the skin reach the ideal state. Small make up has been early to start and use for a long time, now the face and the previous comparison has undergone the visual changes, the overall uniformity has been significantly improved, clean, delicate
