If you don’t watch what your kids play, your kids will find something inappropriate to play. This isn’t just a Roblox problem. Not suggesting Roblox shouldn’t have better moderation (holy hell should they) but this isn’t unexpected. Should it be? Maybe. Could they realistically do it? Probably not without some serious vetting changes—changes that would make “experience makers” have to wait to get their games approved.

Lock down the accounts so they can’t see server chat or get messages from randoms. Only allow your (parent) account to add friends. Play with them. Be present, at least somewhat, when they play.

Even then. My mother followed a YouTube video on this including the part where the helpful Indian guy had her download an app and set up a very sketchy VPN.

Yea…

Not really. It takes a lot of experience to sort the legit from the not legit.

“Having problem X? Download the system32.dll fix here!”

Oh, I most definitely love my kids. Seeing their thought processes always makes my day.

But…I’m in exceptional circumstances. My son lost bowel and bladder control 2y ago (tumor on his spinal cord). Had to live in the hospital a year. Took its toll on our now 9yo daughter…

And now, my son is STILL used to being woken up every couple of hours for blood pressure checks and who is also awoken at that point? Yep—me.

I don’t remember the last time I woke up feeling rested.

I love my kids but… I’m tired, boss.

When my (then) 4 yo was undergoing chemo I had a goto line I used often when people would comment on my mask:

You’re right. I should let my kid who has no immune system because he’s on chemo for cancer treatment just die then, right?

Honestly, if you’re still masking and get flak, just say the above anyhow. You have my permission.

And yet…

Rules for thee but not for me. Same as always.

He was agreeing with you…

Negative pressure room (fan air outside) for the person sick. Positive pressure (fan air inside from outdoors) for the person not sick.

Mask, wash hands, keep distance.

That’s not an apt comparison.

More like “we’ll have flying cars 50 years from now.”

It’s an unnecessary folder if you’re running 64-bit.

Code monkey like Fritos….

There was no need to produce the items in question, so we lost the expertise and the underlying manufacturing facilities/experience/etc. Stuff like: The company that made the windows no longer exists. The company that made the panels still exists, but they can no longer source the strictly defined % alloys as that company no longer exists. Stuff like that.

Similar experience. I doubled down by playing volleyball afterwards. The bruise was practically from wrist to shoulder.

I think the “joke” (quotation marks are working extra hard here) is that anti-theists want to get rid of all religion, so they’re rooting for the Christians eradicating a bunch of religions.

It’s likely a misrepresentation of antitheism, but edge lords be edge lords.

Spreadsheets you say?

https://www.prosperousuniverse.com . It’s not P2W, but does have a (non-auto-recurring) subscription if you want to progress past 6 planets or direct contract with others

If it’s at an Internet cafe where everyone is in attendance, I seriously strongly suggest “The Ship”. In my experience, probably the ultimate LAN game. Screen peeking allowed but not encouraged.

The game is effectively a game of assassin—but you have to upkeep your player’s needs (food/water/shower/bathroom/sleep). Your character needing to take a shit is stressful—very often you begin the process only to have your murderer pop open the door with a fire axe.

It used to have a “viral” gift copy thing on Steam where 1 purchased copy generated 2 gift copies and those copies generated 1 copy each. So in theory, you could only require 3 copies for 15 of you if that’s still active.
