Maybe it's just where I live but I've never met a straight person who does whippits

Whippits on psychedelics are godly

It's crazy how many times they can remake the same game and manage to keep it fresh at every time

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Yes. It's great

Joe Pera Talks To You is a show about happenings in the UP. Midwesterners are just hobbits, there really isn't a whole ton to report

Not a mod, but playing with Wacky Wasteland on is essential

I think you're right. I just wish there were more split screen co-op games in the modern age :/ It feels like they've completely disappeared. I'll download D2 for him because I know he'd love it exactly because of what y'all are describing.

Is D2 cross platform by chance?

Destiny is a decent answer, I know he'd like the gameplay of that. He's been online for way too long, so he has surprisingly good internet etiquette, and calls us in anytime someone says something even somewhat offputting on Roblox. Either to laugh at them, or because they made him uncomfortable. Also won't add random people. Online friends are momentary for him. I could probably get it running on one of our laptops with some low spec adjustments and play with him. Is it cross platform by chance?

I'm probably going to buy a used copy and do a guided playthrough with him to see if it bothers him or not because he's inconsistent with it, but will speak if he doesn't like something. We encourage him to be vocal about stuff like that, so I'm not worried that he'd hide it, especially because I don't find Borderlands particularly funny. I remember BL being mostly middle school type jokes, nothing too crazy but I'd wanna be there to make sure it doesn't say something that's a full conversation without me being there to play it with him in case he doesn't like it, or has questions about it.

Definitely going to check out Battlefront! Didn't know they did split screen but that's really the major requirement I'm looking for with the game. He's a super sweet kid and would play pretty much whatever I give him as long as he can play it with me. Yeah, I wish there were more split screen co-op games nowadays, would love to grab Left 4 Dead for him because it'd be a great game for his tastes. I don't know why split screen fell out of style so hard :/

He's been playing Roblox since before I was his foster parent, that's already a thing he's been introduced to on those games. Even worse, CSGO style loot cases are standard in games on Roblox. Borderlands loot system would be a marked improvement over his current favorite games. There are a lot of weird moral issues that have popped up for me because this is not my child, I wasn't there for the first 8 years and had no input on how he was raised before he came into my household. I wouldn't let my kid play Roblox if they were my kid, but he's been playing Roblox for the past 8 years while his mom was busy getting high, I can't take away what was his only social link with other kids for his entire life. It would feel like a punishment, so instead I just play Roblox with him to make sure that he's not getting into too much trouble or playing anything that's totally brain rot.

Also, I'm more worried about sexual content in the games. I remember BL2 having a lot of sexually oriented jokes, and while I haven't played in years, my 8 year old just doesn't like hearing about sex. He wants me to censor things that are overly sexual. He's thanked me for shutting the TV off before, great kid. I don't remember it being a super sexy game or anything, but if they're constantly making sexualized jokes it's something I'd want to look out for.
