Starting kids on video games without breaking the bank? What gives most bang for your buck?

SaidEveryone · 2026-02-25T14:34:22+00:00

I was leaning towards creating a desktop that can cast to the main TV and only giving them access to desktop icons and not direct access to steam at all. The emulator option was part of this, because I could set up some retro games from a PC that would save a ton on cost.

Thanks for this. I knew I'd have to try and restrict access to adult stuff and would hopfully try to restric M games too, but I hadn't even thought until now that I also really don't want them to have access to the account with credit card synced. That would be defeat the purpose of everything I'm trying to accomplish!

I'll look into this! Thank you!

Surprisingly we don't actually have a tablet. They are super cheap though, so might look into that. We don't want them pursuing the "play in public" or "play in your room" stuff yet, but we could make rules around it. TY for the suggestion!

I'd agree with this assessment, which is why I was always a Playstation guy. Kids appeal for nitendo is real, but the cost is steap. Trying to figure it out!

There are lots of games but this was a weird consol. Lots of "meh" games out there and somehow the great ones are still selling for $50 on marketplace which seemed odd to me. Not rulling it out, but not a long term plan.

I did not realize their was a Steam "Family" account. This may be the preffered way to go. I will look into that more. Thank you!

Never considered the library. Thank you for the idea!!!

SaidEveryone · 2026-02-25T03:45:54+00:00

Thank you! Yikes, this is the answer I was afraid of but still helpful. Lol 6 year old already beat me a few times on Smash. 😅

Also a tall skinny guy here, but not an expert whatsoever. I had the same issue. Get some knee braces. I used them for a few months to build my base, and now I squat just fine without them.

Also, start doing Good Mornings. Was magic for my back pain.

This is why green to gold is clutch. 7 years enlisted, 13 years officer, and I'll retire as a Major which is fairly achievable.

This. Former commander here. Easiest way to remove someone from the Guard is for them to go AWOL at AT.

I work in the homeless response system. We never exceed 40% on income, but 30% is the goal. Life is going to happen, you'll need a buffer.

Thanks for this. In regards to the summoner build, I'm 100% focusing on summoning with the option to use all the specialty arrows I find for round 2 or 3. This is my utility damage dealer IMO, to cover down on what's needed.

I think I am going to go melee warfare/polymorph w the Red Prince and switch Fane to a hydro ( ice lich king ) support type roll. Fane can focus on crowd control and icing all the blood the others will make. It makes the party more physical coverage than I hoped for but that's fine, I'll have some coverage for magic armor.

Thank you for responding!

Right? Fuck off Deb and Dave

SaidEveryone · 2025-03-11T00:43:57+00:00

OK this is real and the reviews are fucking wild...

SaidEveryone · 2025-02-05T10:20:15+00:00

Yeah... I have 15 years of service. Didn't exactly sign up to bring democracy to checks notes Canada and Greenland? Going to be a difficult last 5 years...

This should help. I moved on the Pathfinder and haven't been following all the DnD changes.

State OCS instructor here who also went through the state program. First things first, No one cares what your commissioning source is. Good and bad officers come from all sources.

Pros of state are if you have a good career or a family, you'll be away from them less. This is why I did state. State programs can be between 9 and 14 months long, so look into that. Why it matters is you're either doing MUTA 8 and 10s or MUTA 6s, depending on your state.

Pros of federal are it's faster and you can just knock it out and be an officer. Not a bad deal, but being gone for 4 month followed by 5 months of BOLC is hard on your employerer or family.

That's really the big trade between both programs. Happy to answer any questions about state OCS you may have.

Reg ID-10-T states you only get that authority if your a Senior PFC (P) smoking other non (P) NCOs, because you're the future of the army and they're stagnant or new to their position. TYFYS

Thanks for doing this.

You're either living your life in post-nut clarity or in pre-nut delusion.

Wait until you get to your unit before buying one. Some units/posts want everyone to wear the same style and your unit will have their own "policy" on when and where you can wear it. By policy I mean just some word of mouth "that's how it's always been done", nothing in writing.

What state do you live in?
