If you want to get them something low level cheap, AMD small form factor pcs with integrated Radeon can be had for cheap (easily under $200 if you are patient). One of my kid plays on one of these and with a few performance mods on minecraft does 30fps just fine.

This one. Completely forgot about it in my other post. Only 4 player though but TONS of fun. My gaggle of girls had tons of fun with this one.

Not constructive dude. Roblox is a bit of a cesspool, so completely understandable he wouldn’t want his kids to play. I remeber one of my kids watching what is normally a wholesome youtube streamer playing roblox and someone else came on and was like “I’m gonna show you my penis”. Roblox streams banned then an there. And you know what, my kids were slightly upset but since they were equally shocked as well after our convo they understood why. We had a talk about why roblox is different than minecraft in that respect and that was it. I still allow my kids to play “violent and bloody” games if they like because they are able to focus past that aspect. If they couldn’t, it might be a different conversation. And it would be just thst, a conversation not an ultimatum.

Minecraft is definitely fun. I have a whole lab setup for my kids and neighbors to play minecraft and they are using Java version with curse forge so they can make endless modpacks. I think you mentioned xbox, so bedrock is definitely an option as well, but it won’t have the free flexibility that Java has.

I personally don’t think that a little gore is the end of the world, especially if you play with them. My daughter picked up D3 when she was probably 9, but I played with her and the gore just wasn’t a focus. Every kid is different though and bunch of boys probably not gonna gloss over that.

One you might consider is Fallout 76. It got a bad rap at launch, but it’s a great game and surprisingly has one of the most wholesome gaming communities ever (probably because most of the trolls gave up early on the game when pvp was mostly removed). There are options to turn down blood as well if that’s a concern.

Nothing overly crazy but I remeber watching the Matrix in the theater for the first time and being sooo pumped up that my buddy and I went whopping and hollaring through the mostly abandoned mall food court (got out super late). Mall security ended up chasing us down in the parking lot because they thought we had stolen something or were vandals. We had to explain we were just high from a great movie lol.

This is my setup. Caliber-Web is nice because it just points to your Calibre application database. It’s more robust than the built in web server and I can set it up to sync with my Kobo over wifi.

SwiftKey does that if you give it access to your emails.

It would have to be pretty specific and small to work on a phone and I think a side effect would be everyone’s conversations start to sound a lot more homogeneous.

I use Projectivy Launcher, works great for me and is very minimal.

This guy is correct.

I wondered what was happening. I got a notice my daughter installed this app (under 13 account) and was like why would she do that. We don’t have any HP devices. Brother for life.

What am I missing?

Ha, I just recommended Coop Home Goods as well before I read your comment. Best pillows ever.

What they meant to say was “Buy a Coop Home Goods Eden Pillow”. We have four on our bed and two full body pillows as well. Can’t sleep on anything else now, always take at least one when I travel.

US citizen here. Used to file my own for free. At one point I bought a house and qualified for some tax credit so I paid an accountant to do my taxes that year to ensure I got everything right, bascially never went back becuase it was worth the $175 to litterally do nothing except mail my tax documents to an accountant.

I thought plex didn’t play well with amd gpu encoding. Any tips?

I’m using TP Link Kasa bulbs at home and they work fine for what I need. They integrate well into Home Assistant.

Two at minimum, one in the morning, one at night. If I am nasty and gross from doing something, more.

Legitimately not any slower if you live in an area with a warehouse.

I did prime for a bit, the ONLY thing I liked was not having a minium purchase. But everything is so expensive these days that’s $35 minimum purchase is in no way hard for free shipping.

100% gave me some matrix vibes
