  • I’m not just talking about our safety, I’m talking about the lives of Palestinians.

    Nobody on the left likes FPTP or anything else about our voting system, and we all know it’s bullshit, but this is what we have to work with. The moral brownie points you seem to be after won’t be found by crossing your arms and allowing Republicans to pour gasoline on the fire, and no amount of Democrats doing the same will outweigh the political BS that influenced the party to fund a genocide in the first place.

    Is your moral grandstanding worth risking more lives in Palestine (in addition to all of the issues it’ll introduce for our own marginalized citizens)?



  • OldSchool RuneScape restored my faith in the industry. RuneScape was ruined by microtransactions, but Jagex grew an enormous pair of balls and released an older version of the game and started fresh without any of the bullshit.

    To this day it’s my favorite RPG. I could write a truly ridiculous amount about why I love it, but I recommend just playing it for yourself.

    Bloons Tower Defense 5/6 are great for kids. They do have microtransactions but they don’t nag you to buy anything, and everything is easily obtainable just by playing. Also, nothing that you can buy is “content.”

    If you’re able/willing to download ROMs and emulators, the first handful of generations of Pokemon games are great for touchscreen/mobile. My favorite was always Pokemon Emerald (GBA) but you can easily emulate all the games up to about X2/Y2 (DS) on any modern Android device. (I use “MyBoy!” for the GBA games, but PokeMMO is good for combining both the DS and GBA games into more of a mobile game experience rather than an emulator experience, if that makes sense. Everything is just easier, and probably a lot more accessible for a primary school kid.)

    It’s also worth noting that girls like a lot of the same kinds of games boys like. 🤷‍♀️ Just give her as many good options as you can find and let her decide what she finds fun. Me and my sister had a blast playing CoD Zombies on our aunt’s tablet when we were kids.





  • You can change the difficulty, it’s just not spoon-fed to you with a single button. Their games are RPGs, if they’re too hard then level your character and upgrade your weapons. There’s also a myriad of items and spells you can use to buff/assist you through challenges, and if that’s still not enough you can use wikis to find what attack types enemies are weak to or strategies/cheeses other people used.

    And if all of that is still not enough, you can use mods to make the games easier.
