I feel like I haven’t heard anything from younger genz about games outside of ‘streamer screamer’ game of the week.
Is there anything really new and unique?

Don’t forget the child labor
And white supremacists.

The idea of degeneration also comes from white supremacy btw in case you didn’t know. Its what the ubermemch is/was contrary to and what the whole alpha males thing is from.

Come on now, there couldn’t possibly be THAT many!
And it itself is a creepy company town for bilking children.

You could argue the same for any game engine (Unity) or game with a big modding community (Garry’s Mod). The big difference here is that Roblox aimed straight at children right from the start and also offers a no friction hosting of those creations

Have you considered that when you were a kid you would have been too clueless to notice them and when you’re an adult they would be not very likely to out themselves to you?
You’re likely not playing the same games they would be either if the target audience of what they’re lurking in is aimed at children.

Groomers not so much, maybe depends on the games they play. But my kid did get scammed, that was a learning moment.
Maybe not a bad thing though. Rather learn to be cautious with “worthless” digital items and be less likely to get scammed later on
Absolutely, this wasn’t the worst objectively. But the abuse of trust hits them hard nonetheless
minecraft, roblox
It’s still Roblox
It’s still Minecraft and Terraria.
My son plays Fortnite in addition to the other two. I don’t know of any other games that offer the wide choice and peer interaction that Minecraft, Fortnite and Roblox offer.
He mainly watches streamers who play those games
I hate this centralization of “all games in one”, it’s eerily similar to the centralization of the internet into the big social media sites.
My daughter was showing me some of the games-within-games on Minecraft servers. It’s insane what people have made. And now Fortnite has racing!?
They’re getting bugs and keeping em in matchboxes, making them get on sticks and fight each other like Pokémon. It’s brutal out there man, kids these days are tougher than us
Lichess
You know, I would love for games to offer child only servers with the purpose of protecting children from pedophiles.
But also, for my selfish need to not have children ruining my games in first person shooters. 🤣
I hear forkknife or something like that is popular.
I’ve noticed a strong shift to brawl stars with one of my kids and their friend group.
My son went from fortnite to project zomboid and rimworld, lately rdr and doom eternal. Sometimes terraria and minecraft, but rarely.
Free games like brawl stars, pirated minecraft, are way more popular than paid games like premium minecraft(at least in my country)
Pokemon?
I tried getting a 10yo kid playing the emulated version of Fire Red on his tablet. He thought it was too slow and just went back to Roblox
@Deceptichum@quokk.au we’ve moved/added to TinkerCAD and 3D printing.
Tangential point: these games always felt like Legos but without the complexity involved with rotating and making things fit IRL, so I’d rather get my kids Legos. I guess these games are free for anyone who knows how to use a PC/their children, so it’s way more accessible, but Insha’Allah I’ll be financially blessed enough to buy the real deal.
