Well I'm not starting them off with Crusaders kings 3...pokemon is a good entry point for a child.Please don’t. Why would you introduce them to a midcore RPG when a lot of better alternatives available. It’s not 1996.
Same. The younger generations are dooooooomed.A 7 year old Japanese girl told me Fortnite is her favorite game.
If kids are smarter than you, you must be a real moron. They aren't smarter or more savvy or more anything than a full functioning adult, they just have more free time.You wont need to introduce them to gaming, since they will do it by themlselves pretty easily. Nowadays kids are much smarter than us.

My line of thinking wasn't "they need to do what I did", but more that they'd be able to play a wider variety of games with them feeling fresh, opposed to playing a bunch of ps5 games and going back and trying to experience the classics.I certainly wouldn't start them on ancient hardware just because it's what I played when I was younger. Egotistical horse shit.
Whatever is the current Nintendo thing probably, something like Kirby with no-lose mode on.
Thats not mutually exclusive.
To my point: Kids are comparatively much more smarter nowadays than we were at that age.
This is how you prepare your kids for the cruel worldIntroduce them to Dark Souls and when they cry about how hard the game is. I would say Git Good
Keyboard classes? Just give them mario teaches typing and off they go lolDual PCs when he or she is 10 years old. Holding the kid in my lap while played since 2 years old. Home schooling on the history of video games. No other lessons will be taught. Keyboard classes. Phone games are banned in my house.
Cross country, track, basketball, baseball, band (meh), some Boy Scouts, four wheelers that a friend had. Animals, swimming, the lake, canoeing.I was in boy scouts, played football, soccer, basketball, and baseball while being in honors and ap classes along the way and some of my favorite memories were sitting next to my friends watching movies or playing rock band or w/e
The two aren't mutually exclusive
They care about characters talking like the cartoons they watch and not reading text.Because all but the most special kids don't give a shit about things like IVs and EVs.
For sure, I guess my point was that you should certainly have numerous hobbies, but if one of your more enjoyable ones is video games I don't think that alone says anything about youCross country, track, basketball, baseball, band (meh), some Boy Scouts, four wheelers that a friend had. Animals, swimming, the lake, canoeing.
I probably would have kept at gaming too hard if I didn’t have a bit of a restriction but I will say gaming was a part of my favorite memories too.
Yea, us dinosaurs learned typing in typing class in high school...didn't learn typing til i was 16.Keyboard classes? Just give them mario teaches typing and off they go lol
Game legit helped me a lot learning how to type as a kid in the early 90s lmao
I like most of this. I think I would pick an early PlayStation game for them to play to see early 3D graphics though or something early on pc. Like mechwarrriorWeirdly, I've thought about this too hard lol.
First, I'd introduce them to early 8 bit games, like Atari and Colecovision era around 4 years old. Would definitely have to keep them away from cellphones, and the idea is to try to let them experience the simplicity of this media first. Then, by 5 years old, the NES. By 7, SNES and Genesis. I want them to appreciate the evolution of games the same way I did.
Then I'd literally skip to whatever the current generation is by the time they're 8-9. I'd forego early 3D consoles and the PS3/360 era... Mainly because I feel like today's consoles are just a refinement of what those tried to be.
It would take years of keeping them away from the current status quo and make sure that they can adapt and enjoy the older games and really experience them for what they are... There was a time I thought that my thinking was crazy and wouldn't work. I was proving wrong because a friend of mine did the same thing. I was always thinking and his kid just finished final fantasy 7 on PS1 the other day at the age of 14 years old. He really appreciates all games and not just what is popular. I don't even think he plays Fortnite.
