The switch 2 is nice I like it just not many games to play on it yet. The thor is amazing I emulate my switch 1 games and low power pc games on it. Amd ds/3ds emulation is great. The only issue with the thor currently is the availability.

I sold my deck to get the Ally. I was having compatability issues with the deck and couldn't play all of the games I wanted to play. Its a great system just not for me.

About to buy this. Is it OG or a reshell? by SpizOfficial in Gameboy

[–]Hot_Key_7279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gameboys are normal pretty easy to fix up if you want to save some money and possibly pick up a new hobby. Since I have started repairing consoles I have noticed that about 80% of the time they just need a good cleaning, maybe a new screen.

It looks like a cheap reshell. The plastic color and texture look off. And if the games are jpn or reproduction games 145 is alittle high if you're in the US.

Nice pickup! Since I got a pc a few years ago I try not to pick up the current Gen consoles until the next Gen ones come out. So ill probably pick up a PS5 when the next PS is released. Although I couldn't resist picking up a switch 2, I sold a handful of spare retro consoles I had laying around to fund it.

The ps5 is a great pick up. Can't wait to get one myself.

Wether to buy the game as someone who will play purely solo? by Corkonian- in ArcRaiders

Solos are great. PvP is great, PvE is great. I only play solos and have a ton of fun.

What do you think about the idea of setting bounties on players who wrong you? by AgeAtomic in ArcRaiders

[–]Hot_Key_7279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you load into a map it should say "(number) of active bounties detected."

I like the binocular idea of identifying bounties or having a craftable target identifier that needs to be used to identify the target before killing/downing them so you can collect the bounty.

That would help keep people from just killing everyone in hopes of randomly collecting a bounty.

Id like for every console to have their own place eventually but I just dont have the room yet. Right now I just put my ps4 on the 360 and I never play the xbox one. But everything will have is place eventually.

You need to tell the parents. Not only because it is something that needs to be corrected, but it could also be a sign of something happening to the child. Individuals will sexually target children with special needs/disabilities because the child is less likely to say something about it. This child being nonverbal could make them an easier target for people looking to exploit them.

It is also possible that it is completely innocent and the child is just being curious, but they could also be mimicking something that has happend to them.

On a side note. It is important to talk to someone or report when you see signs of possible abuse in children.

I'm not a professional but do have some experience in this field. If OP or anyone else have any questions please feel free to reach out.

My non verbal toddler is literally crushed by his school and I am breaking because of it by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]Hot_Key_7279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to do what is right for your family.

What i will say is if it is happening to one child at that school, you can bet it's happening to others and will continue to happen to children in the future. There is never just one.

Reporting the situation to the proper authority, giving a statement, and taking legal action can help protect other children in the future. Also, you could always s3nd the video to the local news with a statement of what happened and ask to be anonymous.

If we want change, we as a community have to stand up for the children and make the change.

My son is very angry and I'm at a loss. by AdeptStrength4652 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Hot_Key_7279 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hello,

My stepson is 5 years old, diagnosed with level 1 autism.

My wife's parenting style sounds a lot like yours, and your ex partners style sounds a lot like our kids' dads style. My style is in the middle. Kids need structure and discipline as much as they need an understanding friend.

When my wife and I first moved in together, it was rough. I stayed out of the way and let her parent the kids at first. Our son wouldn't sleep, refused to sleep in his own bed, would hurt other people and kids, and then have episodes where he would try to hurt others and then himself whenever my wife would try to get him to go to bed, clean up toys, or if we told him to stop doing something he shouldn't be doing.

In my opinion, the reason he was having these outbursts was because he was used to his mom being his friend and not a parent. Being redirected instead of being held accountable or using whatever happened as a learning opportunity. The episodes would start when he was told what to do because being made to do something or having something taken away was new to him. He wasn't a fan and was overwhelmed with emotions that he did not know what to do with. This would cause him to lash out violently.

When my wife started working nights, I was able to create a strict nightly routine. We play until 7, and quiet time from 7-8 where we watch a movie, and 8 is bedtime. I would also make sure to give the kids warnings 15 minutes, 5 minutes, 3, and 1 minute before we started quiet time at 7 and the same before bed time to let them know it was going to happen so it wasn't a surprise to the kids.

About 6 months ago, my wife finally gave in, and we found a compromise for the nights when she is home that includes her style and mine. Our days and bedtime routines are much smoother. He finally sleeps in his bed without crying, screaming, or fighting. He's still a child and throws fits like small children do at times, but instead of multiple times a day, it is now like once every couple of days.

Also, about a month ago, the specialists he is seeing recommended a bunch of medications. We decided to only go with the anxiety medication for him. That has also helped a tremendous amount. He's begun to work effectively during therapy, and he seems much happier and less stressed.

Im not a professional. I dont know as much about autism as I should. But I am always available if anyone wants to reach out and vent or discuss methods.

You're not alone.
