As someone who just gives up and goes by Steve in a lot of circles because it's easier... I feel this.

My First Castle Panic is GREAT for kids because:

πŸ”Ί No reading required
🟒 Teaches matching, strategic thinking, taking turns, and more
πŸ”· Cooperative gameplay means no sore losers
β—½ Preschoolers can play independently

Defend that castle, catch all those monsters, and you'll win!

The most effective safety system is still an involved parent.

Playing games with your kids, knowing what they are playing, and talking about what they see gives you more insight than any console will.

Platforms matter. Policies matter.

But families being part of the experience matters most.

My kids don't believe me when I talk about the way licensed games used to be EVERYWHERE back in the day.

I show them screenshots of games like Cory in the House, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Disney's Hercules.... they just tell me I'm nuts.

Bug Fables is such a gem! I love the Paper Mario meets A Bug's Life vibe.

Who's with me on this one?

I'd ask when they are going to stop stepping on rakes.

But, I think we all know at this point that they make so much money that they don't care.

I'm going to lean into discomfort and go back and finish games I abandoned too early because I thought they were too hard for me. So I guess maybe a Soulslike game?

Independent games media is so important.

The team behind Mothership.blog are brilliant creators and their perspectives are so very important (especially now).

Give them a look and support if you can!

I get 2-3 requests a day for link insertions from gambling sites.

Like... do y'all even LOOK at the outlets you're pitching?

Vibrant new colors are on the way for the PlayStation 5 and DualSense controllers!

Listening to these two casters describe what's going on is like listening to a night of figure skating during the Olympics.

Buy Kabuto Sumo | Coin-Pushing Board Game | Allplay The greatest disc-pushing, insect sumo wrestling game ever made–a physical, interactive puzzle of a game where you knock your opponents out of the ring!

We love Kabuto Sumo.

It's a physical disc-pushing sumo wrestling game that puts everyone on equal footing. No reading needed, just dexterity and strategy.

Great for ages 6+ and plays fast (15-20 min).

Just be ready for the trash talk!
