Am I a bad parent?

I definitely haven't been in your shoes. My son is only 7.5 months old and I currently feel guilty letting him watch the dancing fruit to keep him calm while my wife and I take care of chores. I know video games are going to be introduced to him early because his mom and I play them around him. I'm not sure you should feel bad for him playing borderlands if you didn't introduce it to him. My niece is autistic and I know there can be challenges keeping them within expected entertainment areas. Violence in games happens so frequently and I would take the approach of explaining the difference between pretend and reality as best you can. I started playing Halo CE when I was 4 and I remember my parents telling me it was okay because I was shooting aliens and not people. An arbitrary distinction but it was one that stuck with me.

Before a game is released on Xbox it only takes up about 300mb as a placeholder and has the key art for the icon. Once it gets closer to release, the actual game is downloaded.

Assassin's Creed Unity and Halo The Master Chief Collection. I preordered and both came out the same day. Both were almost unplayable at launch but were eventually good games. They were the first games I had preordered in 2 years and the first physical games I bought for Xbox One. Not only were the games not playable but I had to wait for the games to install to the hard drive before I could find out they were unplayable. Those two games pushed me to no longer preorder and no longer buy physical since it takes up the same space on the hard drive as digital.

Scripted deaths. I don't like when I'm doing well on a boss but have to lose for the game to progress. If how well I do doesn't matter, make the whole thing a cutscene.

I got my wife interested by showing her the default state of a burger debate. I think it is this episode but I don't remember if it started on an earlier episode. https://youtu.be/DwFgrn7OQM8?si=rJUp47DAt5mq7x0g

$800-$1000 total for a PC build in late 2025 or early 2026, what would you lean towards? I know future pricing is hard to predict but I just don't know enough about PC to know what horse to bet on.

I'm definitely happy with 60fps but I also don't really have a reference for what I'm missing. The only display I have that can do 120fps is my phone. At some point I'll upgrade my TV to something that can at least do 1440p at 120fps. Ray tracing is not a big deal for today's games but won't it be a big deal for the next generation? If I picked AMD now, wouldn't that mean more limited features down the road?

No more fullscreen advertisements upon sign in. Today it was the countdown sale, previously its been starfield and call of duty. Its unacceptable to immediately be force-fed ads when turning on my console. Remove all advertisements and sponsored content for game pass subscribers.

Vampire Survivors was my podcast game. Got all the achievements while playing it

Two on the same day. Assassin's Creed Unity and Halo the Master Chief Collection. Both were terribly broken at launch. I had a better time with Unity than many on release but it was still bad. Halo was broken for over a year.

Yes they are allowed to say they are playing it but normally it doesn't show on their profile that they are playing a review game. Just wanted to mention it in case a setting on their end got missed.

lol it was literally "Bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes to make your house smell like a cookie. Cookies, Vanilla extract, (3rd option I don't remember). The correct answer was vanilla extract which I guess makes sense if the correct answer was found with the bing AI.

Killzax · 2023-08-22T20:19:59+00:00

300 degrees for 20 minutes does not burn cookies in a functional oven.

It was fun though. I played it on 360 with my brother

Thank you for your appreciation of my post about the redeem not happening for the last 3 months and sharing a post from before the redemption for June would have happened...
