You don’t have to have blind devotion to something to be a fan of it. I don’t like new Pokémon but still am a fan of the first 3 generations. I’m a fan of the office but I don’t watch after season 7.

Kids want to play the games their friends are playing more than what their parents play.

I will play Fortnite and Roblox and Rocket League with my son and I’ve never had a skin or a battle pass and have tried to show him you can have fun with out wasting your money but that doesn’t stop a kids FOMO.

Publishers know kids have undeveloped abilities to delay gratification and are susceptible to peer pressure

Really? Your parents never bought you worthless junk meant to be throw away like fart putty or those rubber bubbles you blow up with a straw that barely work or packs of Pokémon cards or baseball cards?

I don’t think it should be up to the parents to tell the kids what’s valuable to them. If the kid wants a vbucks card over a game then you can tell them that’s why they didn’t get a new game.

(I do recognize that the current monetization models have ruined modern gaming which is why I only play games that are 15 years old or older)

I’ll be honest. I’d rather them unrelease 8 old episodes of this show if possible

Double dash had the best drifting mechanics in the series imo. Really only DS and DD are the only ones who have more than hold a drift long enough for mini turbo as their drifting mechanics

I really would like to upgrade to a steam cube as my current PC is about 15 years old just with upgraded RAM, storage, and graphics but i also only play games that came out over a decade ago too

Fish and Chips and Sunday Roast look good but 2 turds over mashed potatoes being high tier is not a good look for British cuisine

In 10 years piracy will be the only way to play this game

The game isn’t even actually on the cartridge and they are selling it for the same price as a real Pokémon game? I imagine it will end up like the poke park games where no one plays them. Except you can still play the poke park discs on your Wii. When the switch 2 servers go down in a decade. This game becomes lost media

The price is off. It’s more expensive than the base model but with worse specs. If someone is willing to pay more, they’ll get the pro, not the air.

Sounds like you need to git gud

So literal space lasers?

Crime is legal now. Well only if you are the president or rub elbows with him, that is

One of the games of all time ineptitude

I guess the point is that users who are taking training are not more likely to pass the phishing simulations but I think that’s missing point. In competently ran organizations the point of these trainings aren’t explicitly to teach people to not fall for tests but to be able to identify which users are your greatest risks and either give them more support or can them if they are to high of a risk that it outweighs their productivity.

Of course the people who are taking more training are failing tests. It’s because they lack the computer skills or cognitive ability to understand what they doing. But taking a five minute training that says “don’t click the link” isn’t going to magically make people not get phished, but it has usefulness in basic awareness (which is why we have the super basic cyber security awareness training as well)

The reality is that all human beings can be socially engineered if the attacker is motivated enough. You can’t stop it by training only by planning and being proactively prepared

What’s the problem?

Call of Duty and Pokémon.

I think a parent should financially support their kids as long as they want to and are comfortable to. With the caveat that giving too much support can delay some kids from gaining financial independence. Personally what I plan on doing is “cutting off” my kids at 18 but giving generous financial gifts for birthdays and Christmas. And of course supporting them if they ask in times of need. Also if my kids work full time and live at home they will pay “rent” that I will put in a high yield savings then gift back to them as a down payment for their home when the time comes. We already sock away money each month in their college savings accounts so if I can save them those expenses I will be blessed as a parent

OP is learning about archive.org for the first time?
