Video Game Rant or I Can’t Take Any More Political Garbage Today.

I’m a gamer. I’m not an Edge Lord…I’m just a gamer. I like RPGs and temps en temps, (Yes, that is French, I live in Québec and that’s how we roll here. 😁) I do MMORPGs but never in a party. Learned my lesson decades ago after receiving obscene messages and pics. My gameplay is based on the grind, its how I get my frustrations out. I will follow the scenario but not at the exclusion of whacking the crap out of demons, orcs and other foes.

I have a deep respect for devs. I also have a deep scorn for folks who, without fail, constantly rag on seasons or game mechanics.

HEY….DIPSHIT, IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT…SOLUTIONS IS EASY-PEASY; DON’T, FREAKING, PLAY IT!!

I have been playing video games longer than a lot of folks have been using the potty on their own. Started with Gold Rush and Leisure Suit Larry, played the first version of Warcraft, so yeah – been playing a while. You name the RPG or MMORPG and I’ve probably given it a shot. You know what I do when I don’t like a game? I don’t play it. It isn’t for me but I’m not going to dump on the devs or the company as a result.

I tried my hand at coding (not games) way back in the day…you know, C Basic, C+ etc. so when I play a game, I do bless those developers, those coders with all my heart and soul.

I see you! I appreciate you. If there is a season that I’m not enjoying? I play something else until a new season drops. It ain’t neurosurgery.

Critiques are great….but when it becomes your identity to criticize constantly? Just sit down and shut up. Read a book or something.

Okay, that’s all. Just needed to vent and I’m married to a guy that does not game, does not understand my love of the pastime.

Roblox Lawsuit? Seriously…

I Need To Stop Reading the “News”….Holy Crow.

Maybe an alien abduction would be a rescue mission at this point. 😳 Suing Roblox because the kid can’t stop playing/thinking about the game. Apparently, his stellar parents had him online at 5 or 6; could this have been the problem?

Gaming is a fact of life. It has been a fact of life since the late ’80’s; personally, I’ve been gaming since the days of Leisure Suit Larry, Goldrush etc. We have owned computers, Nintendo, Sega, Playstation, Gameboy was in the home as well although according to my sons – it sucked. I never played it, bothered my eyes. Why aren’t my kids addicted? There were limits. Yes, SHOCK AND AWE, the kids had limits.

I have a grandson, he plays Roblox but his parents have set strict limits on electronic engagement. I was so proud of his folks; grandson came here, I asked him if he wanted to play on my PS5 and he declined, telling me that he had reached his daily limit. I could have cried with joy!

Parental responsibility folks. Not a hard concept but it appears it is easier to blame outside forces for parental failure and make no mistake, no establishing limits is a gross failure.

Kid throws a tantrum? Tough. Throw it. The prohibition is extended. Parents work? Either change the password or bring the connectors with you, if you can trust your child. Parental controls – learn how to use them. Worse case scenario? Sell the console.

This is not rocket science. I sincerely hope this ridiculous lawsuit is tossed in the bin and parents are ordered to attend parenting classes. Jesus in handcart….
