How im also raising my little guy

Extinct??!?

We're not dead yet, just old!

My son wants to "game" like most other kids at his class. So I got an old laptop, installed linux mint on it with dosbox. He loves lemmings, the incredible machine 2 and rollercoaster tycoon

you don't need to try so hard, just don't let him have weird ideas about gender and hope he befriends at least one girl. that'll be enough. all these idiots need is a female friend going "don't be an idiot that's not how things work".

Hey, not extinct! There are dozens of us

Also don’t forget MST3K and Lord of the Rings!

Don't forget futurama and star trek

Needs more BattleBots.

And the music of Weird Al

It’s funny. I’m definitely a nerd and neuro-something-or-other, and I have really good friends who are into all this stuff, Linux, Terry Pratchett etc - all of it - but I absolutely bounced off this smug nerd culture and grind my teeth if a group all start yelling “Ni!” or make me listen to the “hilarious” Portal song. Possibly I’m just trying too hard to be an arch, diffident outsider, this is my tribe, and I’m just the tribe jerk.

Throwing Discworld into the mix

Life of Brian is arguably better for a ensmuggening Python based education.

I dunno. I grew up on He-Man, Transformers and G.I. Joe, and I think I turned out OK. I suppose I also grew up on Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, and The Neverending Story, which may have been just as formative in my nerdiness and are leagues ahead of those first three in terms of quality.

Good old times.

I could've created the parody OSS license "Programmers of Ni License", nowadays some people would like to expand that word to the hard-R N-word, with an 80+% chance that those people's account are littered with actual nazi shit, not just "liking edgy jokes".

This is the ritual to create a Tom Scott.

I would add Kids in the Hall.

I would recommend introducin the son to a literal lemon in real life prior to playing Portal 2.

... probably goes the same for a p0taTo.

Thia feels like the Powerpuff Girls intro, but replace Chemical X with Young Sheldon.

I rewatched Mythbusters recently. It's pretty disturbing, especially in the early seasons, how often they use actual human remains for what is essentially light entertainment. Like, they'll destroy an actual human skull for shits and giggles. They had disproved the myth on setting off an airbag with a slim jim and firing it into the head of a would be car jacker, but still had to replicate the results, so just shot a slim jim into an actual human skull, cheering and laughing as it's decimated. That was an actual person's skull. How they sourced it, and where the source acquired it, who knows. I'm fairly certain there is a family somewhere though that would be mortified.

I don’t like being so seen.

Ah, trying to bring back old nerdus obnoxious, eh?

This is what I mean when I say I'm teaching my kids Python

Click a picture of the little guy each and every day to show them later how things were when they were growing up. You can use something like DD-DigitalDiary Otherwise these memories will be lost forever. And it has better privacy than all other google slop

Also i would suggest Audiobooks. Lots o them available for Free. In Youtube or Pitrats software. To learn how to act and live in life

You’ll also want to become a hippie parent for accuracy

Cool. Like Ed Kemper.
