Makes sense to me. When you’re gaming, your brain is intensely focused on visual inputs, reacting to timing, movement, rhythm and making rapid decisions and predicting outcomes. Your brain is distracted on the game and not focused on self monitoring your speech fluency. This essentially pulls attention away from internal speech monitoring loops. No monitoring = fewer blocks.
