VideoGames posted:I think this is really sweet They're great kiddos. The older one (4) laughed super hard at the Astro's Playroom introduction where the controller turns into a rocket ship, and so she got to try to play that for a while. It was a great introduction because she is still barely working on the coordination of managing buttons and a control stick at the same time. I was really proud when she figured out how to jump and move at the same time in the first little area. I really want to get her playing Odyssey or Mario Maker 2 but for now the controls are a little hard. Any time I play Smash, though, she decides who I get to play (Peach about 50% of the time, sometimes Palutena or Lucina. Once in a long while Zero Suit Samus.). She's tried occasionally and can understand that the A button makes Peach slap people. Jumping and moving are hard to do together, but she finds it hilarious to walk off the side of the stage and explode. The littler one (2) gets a little scared of play fighting, but he mostly goes really quiet and then comes over for a big hug after the match/level/whatever is over and there's a small break. So I gotta watch him to see if it's a game we need to switch away from.

To clarify this movie starts with someone dying in a fiery explosion. I have no idea why you would take a child that young to see this. I will always remember the guy that brought his what looked like 4-year old son to the 10:15pm showing of The Real Cancun at the theater I worked at.

MLB The Show is a good sports series, but the Show 21 is not one of them. The AI for your team is so bad, and there are still bugs months later that Sony hasn't patched.

Yeah I grew up on weird horror and 80s action movies. My parents were always good about making sure I knew like... the weight of things and difference between real and fake and all that sort of stuff. Same with games and music mostly. I wasn't too restricted and I turned out uh, well, hm, uh, absolutely perfect!

In my completely useless opinion as someone who's never raised a kid, the trick is guidance rather than sheltering. Media literacy is a learned skill. Although I guess I have to ding my parents for one thing: as a young child I had recurring nightmares featuring a distraught man wailing in despair at a destroyed bridge, and a woman's disembodied head floating out of a dark forest toward me. It wasn't until I was a teenager watching Evil Dead 2 for the "first" time that I realized where that poo poo came from.

Demons Souls Remake is the only game where that advice is appropriate. Edit I mean where telling someone to choose royal as a starting class isnt bad advice.

Not saying my upbringing in relation to media was perfect but the issues in general I have definitely don't come from there and the things that get me through are those exact same things I could've been sheltered from so  Certainly had fears and nightmares here and there but I was sort of addicted to that cycle anyway. "oh no this looks too scary *grabs off blockbuster shelf*. It really is all about communication and understanding, as difficult and complex as that can be. I'll be coping with life by way of horror movies and videogames for the rest of my life no doubt.

I used to get all sorts of nightmares from terrifying films I watched as a kid and one night i dreamt our basement was flooded and I went down there and jaws was swimming around but also everything was on fire with the fire getting sucked back into the walls like in the movie Backdraft and also a velociraptor from Jurassic park and the terminator were there. After that I wished on a shooting star to never have another nightmare again and I havent had one since

This is funny, because my parents moved from England to the US shortly before I was born, and so I think that made them a bit more strict about letting me play games with guns because of how much gun violence there was and continues to be in the US compared to like none in England, and also I think I was like 7 when Columbine happened. But I remember going to a friends and I can vividly remember being horrified by this scene when the dude gets shot through the eye in training https://youtu.be/XKPuumm_bfs and it nearly made me sick, and I think I went in another room and played Zelda. I’m sort of glad that my parents were like that, because I still don’t really play many games (or moreso FPS games, which I’ve never been into aside from Half Life 2/Alyx) that have guns in them and I also think it made me have a respect for violence and whatnot and also helped to shape my beliefs and politics as an adult. imhotep fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Jul 16, 2021 |

I didn't realize Vince Zampella and some of the TF2 people had left Respawn to work for Dice on Battlefield 2042. That bodes even better for a game I am really really hoping turns out good.

Turns out the big effort part of raising other humans involves acknowledging their reality as other humans and not accessories is super effective in passing along the values you try to instill. Paradoxically, giving people the option to say no increases the chance of them eventually agreeing.

I get what you’re saying for sure. In my situation I was raised by a vietnam vet (marine who spent his entire time in the jungles) and a mom who was like the feistiest most independent woman you could ever imagine. It was a wild time but very good since they loved me and were very involved in my interests and whatnot. It is really amusing looking back on what I grew up with. I loved all my extremely american VIOLENCE VIOLENCE VIOLENCE forms of entertainment. I still do to be fair but I like being able to really look at it further along and go “oh okay so that’s what we were doing, huh” before I enjoy it again haha. Weird world, man. I’m glad us humans have ways to entertain ourselves and explore all these dark weird things in ways with no inherent harm.

I started playing Control today. I played a couple hours but it hasn't really clicked with me yet, unlike Returnal, which sucked me right in. Does Control 'get better' or if it didn't click now, will it once I get deeper into it?

It gets better, the gameplay at the start is dull and occasionally frustrating until you start getting abilities that make it fun. It might be rough after Returnal though, I thought its gameplay was basically Control but make it good.

My 80 year old dad went to go see Wolf of Wall Street with me because my friends had bailed. That turned out to be a choice, lmao. So PS5 thread, I come to you because I have just purchased one of these toys. It will be arriving Sunday. I got the GameStop bundle so I’m getting Ratchet and I played Miles on PS4. I’m in the middle of Dark Souls 2 right now, so Demon’s isn’t an urgent buy, and I have no interest in Returnal. What PS4 games are good on PS5? I don’t think the lists I’m seeing online are up to date because I know Sekiro got a framerate bump but I don’t see it listed. I’ve got a shrink wrapped copy of FF7R I can upgrade, and I’m gonna pay the $10 to upgrade Tony Hawk. Anything else I really need to revisit?

The game is a blast when you can play super aggressive and mobile without needing to perfectly line up shots. Also the worldbuilding is insanely good once you get past the opening.
