It is like dealing with a kid
"Time to stop now."
Absolutely no response

"I said, that's enough.
You've been on that game too long."
"Hang on. I've nearly finished this level."

"No. Stop now! That's enough.
Come out of your room.
You must join us at the table."

"I'm really into this now.
And I'm not really hungry."

"It's your favourite dish.
It's been especially prepared. Just as you like it."

Absolutely no response. The sounds of suicide drones, rockets, bombs, machine guns continue to fill the house late into the night
