Watching my girlfriend's kids fight over who gets to use the tablet makes me think that maybe giving kids mobile devices is a terrible idea.
Get desktop PCs and destroy each other in Command and Conquer like normal children.

Yeah... Older systems like a DS or PS2 or something would be better for a kid IMHO
@realcaseyrollins instead, I get to watch a nine year old girl gun down cops in GTA5.

😂 I'm sure there are better games on those systems! We never played games like that as kids, it was mostly sports and adventure/open world games for us
Minecraft is still quite the treat
@realcaseyrollins @sean ds is awesome, there's loads of productive games like brain training and art academy
@realcaseyrollins @sean man you should get one! if you get an original or lite you can play gba games too so you could get street fighter II turbo. lites are cheap now
there's cool games too, ds had so many games. like a fuckton of games

@sean @realcaseyrollins The casual game industry is just plain bad. Everything is designed to make you addicted and make in-app-purchases.
@sean @realcaseyrollins I hope to awaken enough intereset in my children to actually create instead of consume using computers and devices. We are sometimes playing games, but I carefully choose which one. And on mobile devices they only play really simple open source games.
✅ Full-time Job Mom
✅ Pandemic
✅ No friends in area
✅ Can't really go anywhere
Devices are pretty much the only thing there is to do here, so I'm not unsympathetic. It's just hard to watch them fight over a device that's only capable of serving up shitty games designed to get people addicted.
