I had no idea that was possible. I’m looking into it now. Is it any good?

I’m not a gamedev, but I do software development and you really echo my distaste for roblox very succinctly.

Not until after he can patch RCT1’s assembly

DnD is fantastic. I was planning to buy some campaign materials for xmas. Might as well get that started!

Even raspberry pi 4/5 are amazingly capable of playing minecraft 1080p. I wonder how much better linux gaming support there is on those now since the steamdeck has been a success…

We’re already firmly invested in minecraft. I have the java edition on my computers - and he has bedrock on the xbox. It sucks that they arent compatible, but he’s too young for a pc.

I’m crumudgeony enough to remember when buying a game was buying a game. I disliked it when mobile games slowly changed into monitization via microtransactions. Heck, I remember buying games for full price and then they got changed to ftp overnight with mtx. That kind of stuff drove me nuts and I am firmly anti-mtx. That said, I let my kid earn money he can use on mtx for cosmetics and stuff on Fortnite. But it is a dedicated pool of money for mtx, his actual money kept separate so he can buy ice cream or save for bigger purchases without worry. Roblox on the other hand, is a company that exploits children for their labor to create the games and it hires psychologists to ensure kids dump as much money into it as possible all while having no moderation. Roblox is awful. Microtransactions in children’s games are harmful and exploitive. I’m letting my kid get a drip feed so he can get the little benefit from having non-stock costumes in fortnite while also having the learning experience that in games with mtx, you can never have enough - without him becoming a whale.

I just want to avoid the porn games on steam, and any super-gory shit like dead space. I thought Diablo would be fun for him but it is a bit too much right now. It was different when super pixelated back in the D2 days.

He was wasting time playing shitty games because his other friends played those same shitty games. I was taken aback at how mind numbingly shitty those games were. We were in the same room as an Xbox with gamepass and a Nintendo Switch and he chose to play some seriously bad games instead because his friend was addicted to it. Then he became addicted to it. Luckily, that whole friends group will now have much, much better games to play.

Some really solid recommendations here. Thanks a ton. I’ve heard of Deep Rock Galactic but it didn’t pop into mind. And Risk of Rain 2 looks great.

WetBeardHairs OP , to gaming in I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?

Oh that looks really good. Thanks for the recommendation.

WetBeardHairs OP , to gaming in I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?

Whoa that is a rabbithole I really should not let him know about. Talk about a time sink - people have been playing that for decades now.

WetBeardHairs OP , to gaming in I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?

Lol I think survival horror might be a few years too early for him and his cohorts

WetBeardHairs OP , to gaming in I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?

Oh I forgot valheim was multiplayer. Thanks. He even played it for a little while so I’ll have to get that one going again

Seems like it would be hard to use a wired headset to listen to the game sounds/music and voicechat at the same time.
