Depends on what the players are after.

I prefer warframe due to being able to actively work towards goals in a visually progressing way, but can see the appeal of a haloesque contol scheme fps with randomized loot.

Both are grindy in different ways, and warframe doesn’t quite know how to introduce new content without dumping or a few more currencies and yet another group that has a reputation system to be plunked into.

It would be helpful to understand what types of games the kid was playing in the first place to suggest alternatives. I ripped this answer from quora on how to see which games within roblox your child was playing

• Game History: Roblox used to have a “Game History” feature that allowed users to view a list of recently played games. This feature showed the last few games you played, but it was limited in terms of historical data. It’s worth checking if this feature is still available in your account settings.
• Roblox Account Activity: You can check your Roblox account’s activity feed, which may show some information about recent game interactions and achievements. However, this feed typically doesn’t display a comprehensive game history.
• Roblox API: Some third-party websites and tools may offer services that attempt to retrieve and display more extensive game history data by accessing Roblox’s API. Be cautious when using third-party services and make sure they are reputable and secure.

I went looking for any kind of account tracker and to no one’s surprise they are mostly about account value from items, not so much about worlds/experiences they have been on.

Most of the responses I’ve seen on here are just suggesting games which may or may not be to your kids looking purely based on those games being generally accepted as good.

The method to it’s madness is fairly underhanded to adults, much more so for its’ intended audience.

I wish I could find the video that did a basic deep dive on all (negative) aspects of the roblox community, from the robux, to the game makers potential for being exploited, and the oddly nft/stock market of cosmetics which are a massive fomo money sink. It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t aimed at children, but because it is, that only makes the handful of bad/fringe cases even more unsettling.

It’s no big secret that kids are dumb enough to try and get robux for free from almost any link saying they can online. But the incentive is there for them to try.

Removing roblox from a kids library is a good thing for peace of mind. Plus there are plenty of other games out there to play with friends and depending on how they spent their time on roblox, it likely wouldn’t be terribly hard to match to another game within whatever genre they were playing.

By most accounts the devil is a lot of talk and very little (physical) action. If anything he fiddled someone else to diddle a little kiddle.

I grew up partially in the south, and the devil tales from there told a story of people constantly getting over on him in the forms of bets and contests, the devil doing a monkeys paw type wish/curse, and it being turned around by the receiver of the curse/wish to ultimately being a good thing. Like a very awkward super hero whose power is to grant wishes, but has to lose to that person in some way first.

What’s the deal with the fiddle?

Every single time I see something like this I wonder why people bother putting useless labels on themselves.

Makes me think “I’m more of an ‘oh’ sayer than an ‘um’ sayer. Can I say ‘um’ sometimes without getting the ‘um’ people upset?” as a similar argument.

Conservative means many different things to many different people, and the definition found from Oxford Languages has this to say, “(in a political context) favoring free enterprise, private ownership, and socially traditional ideas.”

Socially Traditional ideas and non-binary are currently at odds.

So if you want to clear anything about this up, you should probably go ahead and define which aspects of conservatism you agree with, and which ones you’re not ok with, and make up your mind from there.

There are two sides to american eating habits… the ones who think the Wendy’s Ghost Pepper fries were too spicy, and the ones who are actively out there inventing a whole new level of spice to torture their taste buds with.

Sadly, the first side is WAAAAAYYYY larger than the second and any level of spice stronger than black pepper will instantaneously send them both to the bathroom and the emergency room for even daring to try something with some flavor on it. And it doesn’t help that as far as most people (around here anyways) consider indian food chicken tika marsala and samosas… and that’s the entirety of the menu.

The only other thing I can think of that might cause it is the intention for each bite of bland food (like rice) to have a surplus of flavorings on it, which works for most non spiced foods but may wreak some havoc on people who don’t balance out their spice intake with the rest of the meal. There’s probably something to be said for overall quality causing some problems as well.

I can’t be sure, but from the people I’ve interacted with, these are reasons I can think of which may explain how things got to where they are.

I’ve never had full control, but there have been many times I’ve realized I’m dreaming, nudged the dream in a preferred direction and then swiftly let my consciousness over the dream fade so it could continue without interruption.

The more control I exert on my dreams, the more likely I am to consciously blink and actually blink myself awake. Gentle nudges in the direction I want to dream is the only path for me.

Looks like the roll is done at long rest, so it would be a relatively static number.

For a real short example, you roll a 10 after math, so you just put a little 10+ac misses automatically note somewhere handy until you sleep and roll again.

It’s a fun little ring, and could be a really hype moment if/when it hits

If AI looks at me everyday and says neat, that’d be interesting.

Everyday I get to look at new AI stuff and say “neat”.

Antiperspirant simply doesn’t work with my job. In the summer months, I generally sweat from every pore for 8 hours and then I get to go home. It would be like trying to dam a river with a stone.

Deodorant on the other hand I keep on me, as it has a tendency to wash off before the day is done.

Say what you want about your preferred method of avoiding body odor, but this one works for me. And as for those who are saying something about ‘natural sweat before trying to cover it with anything’, that was definitely not the case for me. I still remember getting pulled aside sometime towards the end of third grade and being told I had to do something about my body odor.

I just need to go viral on some platform as ‘the people’s choice’ president who will put most major national decisions that aren’t classified up to polls on said social media platform. It’s the perfect solution to rake in those who don’t want to vote for 80 something geriatrics. I have about a year to implant myself into the world of politics.

I also considered legally changing my name to ‘No Vote’ for a bit.

Aliens VS predators 2 (the 1998 one) was oppressive for the human side of the campaign. I am not sure I ever got all the way through it. Enemies were everywhere, the beginning moments were very tense and honestly I don’t remember ever feeling like I ever had enough ammunition. Playing as aliens and predators were amazing and fun experiences, but that human campaign left me in the dumps every time.

Every child born has a flat increase of 0.0005% higher IQ, and is also 0.0003% more altruistic.

I really should have done the math ahead of time. That’d mean an increase of like 70k IQ per year.

I’m in a weird gaming rut at the moment, I just bought into the radius, but I don’t want to play it until I get a better headset. I worried that the screen door effect of my first Gen vive will ruin the experience.

As such I’ve fallen back to the rogue lite twin stick goodness of nova drift.

I will buy a game when:

The gameplay is up my alley, or the experience is worth the time invested into it.

And

The final cost of the game after dlc is equal to or less than 1/10th the cost of my PC. Usually aim for 1/20th if I’m iffy about the gameplay.

Audio is still somewhat of a culprit at times, depends on the game and the amount of exposition. Videos are rarely the main share of the game filesize anymore and usually it is mainly textures and likely bloat from really crap usage/optimization of those textures.

Or a shard/pouch of porcelain. Light as can be and beyond effective.

I think it needs to cook awhile longer.
