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

π· Cooperative gameplay means no sore losers
β½ 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.
This looks FANTASTIC. I cannot wait to play.

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?
Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers!

Roblox? Never even once.
So gross.
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?
They're doing 3-player coop now?!?!?!
It's an empty couch!
Caster: Is this even human?
Me at my desk talking to no one: No. No, it is not.
Vibrant new colors are on the way for the PlayStation 5 and DualSense controllers!
Here's a look at the Hyperpop Collection, launching on March 12 with pre-orders starting on January 16:

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!
