There are still stupid people who say they're gonna make their children play "retro" games before modern ones so they can game some kind "appreciation" for the medium and don't think that they're fucking insane when they say this. Can you believe that Sup Forums?

Kys yourself

I'm going to have my kids play the genesis sonic games to test them for autism

Wouldn't that just give them autism?

ill give them good pc games to play, doesnt matter if its "retro" or not

VERY cool

t. 18 year old who grew up on skyrim and gets visibly mad when Sup Forums mocks him for it

Can you substantiate your claim? I've never heard of this group of allegedly outrageous people

I'm not gonna have kids

its stupid to force your kid to play video games, but if they like video games then it makes sense to show them the games you like

It's only guaranteed if you pair it with christ faggotry

>there are still casuals that know that they can't defend their shitty modern games so they resort to shitflinging

very cool

>There are still stupid people who say they're gonna make their children read "classic" books before modern ones so they can gain some kind of "appreciation" for the medium and don't think that they're fucking insane when they say this. Can you believe that Sup Forums?

>good pc games
It's a good thing you don't have kids yet then, they wouldn't have anything to play

Modern game design causes brain damage, shortens attention spans, and encourages gambling addictions. Retro games generally encourage critical thinking on at least some level. Encouraging a kid to play practically any game released after 2007 or so is tantamount to lobotomizing the poor lad.

How embarrassing

Isn't it your bed time Ben?

>Needing something family friendly and that requires zero internet connection to play.

You bet your sweet ass my kids are sharing the Mame64 box instead of playing modern bullshit.

>he wants kids to be unappreciative pricks who complain when they get a 3DS instead of a Switch
Cut your dick off user. We don't need people like you to spread your seed.

>having children
How evil.

Yeah, that is pretty stupid. You guys will never have children.

>getting this ass blasted
You know its possible to teach your kids to be decent people and still have your sunday mornings to yourself right, go back to r/the_donald faggot

fuck off normalfag

I'm gonna do this. When my kid is born I'll start him with a SNES, then move onto PS1/N64, then finally modern consoles/PC.

>r/the donald for calling out anti-christ shilling

Thanks for proving to me you are both a liberal retard, and a kike shill.

Children don't even naturally play games any more shits for nostalgic old people, nu males, and girls who want to appeal desirable to nu males but have no interest in them

I'm gonna let the play whatever as long as it's not some SJW crap that will make them gay or feminazis or something.

Don't reply to me or my son ever again.

Which games out there are like that?

Go be upset somewhere else, Sup Forums is not your safe space

If I ever have kids, I'd probably just play vidya I like while I have free time, regardless of whether or not it's "retro". If they take an interest in what I play, I'd be happy to show them. If not, then whatever. Let them develop their own tastes and interests.
Sure as fuck gonna moderate what games they play, until they're like 17, though. No son of mine is gonna be the minge screeching over the mic on 24/7 2Fort.

>he's never met modern children

When I was a young lad I was forced to play on the NES while everyone else was playing on the SNES and Genesis. If I ever got an SNES well I think I would never leave my house. The point is the good thing about older games is you have to make up for the technology with your imagination and that's a great thing.

Good parent

If you won't let them play vidya they'll just ruin their taste with some mobile bullshit and end up worse than you.

>not liking red letter media

Retard alert!

Honestly this is what it boils down to. Your children are interested in the types of games you play at a young age. If you want them to have good tastes, you just have to play good games yourself.

I will only allow my children to play Quake until they can defeat me in a duel.

t. adam sandler fan

You think? Too bad I'll probably never have kids because I'm emotionally unstable with an absolutely awful temper that would more than likely result in my hurting either my spouse or, worse, my child.
That, and I'm so fucked that I can't feel romantic nor sexual attraction to anything that isn't 2D any more.

Well, they're right.

>liking redditlettermedia
pleb alert

Just wanted to pop in and say weak bait, since nobody else is replying and giving you a (You), so here’s this one on the house

I think they might enjoy some of the games that aged well or anything that catches their interest, but I'm not going to force anything on them. I'll encourage their hobbies even if it's outside videogames.

Got my nephew an NES classic as his first console, and he absolutely loved it. Until his friend showed him his PS4. Now he won’t touch it.

They might have a point if they start them on Atari games, because those games are simple enough that 3-4 year olds can play them and understand what to do.

OP is definitely a underage b& who doesn't want to admit he grew up with shit childhood gaming memories.

I was playing games like Jackal and Little Nemo at that age. Why do the games need to be easy?

You should give your wives son an NES and then tell him, you beat 3 games and you gain the rights to upgrade to an SNES. Then he has to beat 3 more games and he can upgrade to a playstation or 64, his choice.

i salute anybody who makes their kids play doom or quake just for the off chance they become AAA devs and save fps genre from suffering a painful death in a shitstorm of battletrashyale and lootboxverwatch

Jay, put that gun down

Little Nemo sucks holy shit

And why is that?

best reply.

>>making his first console ShitBox Two or NoGamesStation 5
I don't know why but I chortled

Got any horror stories? I'm in the mood for one.

I'm 30 years old, like to play single player games, and I'm about be an uncle for the 12th time. My life around them is a horror story in and of itself.

>have a cousin who's like 10
>plays every game in front of him
>his favorites are Titanfall and Skate 3
Hopefully I get a kid like him.

imagine having to take care of about 30 kids that throw shitfits about minecraft and watch the same creepypasta youtube video every day. that is what its like working at a computer camp

>computer camp
What year am I in?

My kids getting my old n64 and ps2 with no memory card and then a flip phone when theyre 13. They can get their own job if they want shit

Books have a wider range of topic and use. Videogames are just games.
Did you think your post through or are you just legitimately retarded?

When i have kids i'm probably just gonna pick up old and cheap consoles on thrift stores and just buy a fuckton of games for those.

user, "classic books" refers to very specific types of books, all of which fall under entertainment. Some fiction and some non-fiction, but all are entertainment.

Did you not think your post through, or are you just legitimately retarded? Notice how one of us fucked up that question while the other didn't. Can you tell which one is which though?

this

What are you talking about, didnt your dad force you to play Atari 2600 games before you could play your new Playstation as a kid?

fpwp

>muh entertainment is edumacational and yers ain't
That's what were going with you goalposting mongoloid, and classical books still have a wider range than videogames. Do you get off in being retarded?

>force

I wouldn't force my kid to play anything, but I would definitely encourage them to play classic titles and probably wouldn't give them access to modern consoles from day one, which has less to do with what I want them to play and more to do with the fact a nice video game console should be something earned.

fpwp...

this is just how they are framing it. it's cheap and your little shits won't know the difference for years

>goalposting
Thanks. Now I can rule out that you are pretending to be retarded. To educate you a little, goalposting is when you MOVE the goalpost, not when you are trying to talk about the ORIGINAL topic. Also, classical books actually have less range than video games. Maybe if we were arguing about books in general, but we aren't, unless you in fact want to start changing goalposts.

This, you can get huge catalogues of games that your kids will work though, they will ALWAYS have something they never played before, and if they are good they get a new game now and then too.

>letting your kids own technology at all

my nigger, getting a milk churner, gunna get a shit load of butter out of my kids.

>letting your kids play videogames
>implying we are going to even have kids

In all seriousnesses though, how can you protect your kid from all the modern bullshit?

Ads that are directed towards children and videos too, i have a nephew and she has been exposed to all kinds of stupid Youtube shit, i went to see her tablet (because of fucking course she has one at the age of 7) and there fuck ton of Ads of kids toys and unpacking videos and other retarded shit that is just pure marketing and she wants all of that shit.

Plus the fact that elementary school girls are even more bitchy than i remember and way more spoiled, i asked her what they played at lunch and they just browsed shit and were in instagram and facebook and some other shit.

You can raise your kid right but at the end of the day, the other kids at school will make them change or expose them to retarded shit.

Spoken like a true cuck. Kill yourself, faggot.

>No son of mine is gonna be the minge screeching over the mic on 24/7 2Fort.

Did your parents let you play violent videogames? No? Then you did anyway like the majority of Sup Forums, you all niggers are forgetting that kids will always find a way to do what they want, is like trying to tell a teen not to watch porn, sooner or later they will do it alone.

Also all the people saying "i will let them play SNES or PS1 games" or some shit like that, they will watch a video about a new videogames that looks EPIC and AWESOME in some TOP 5 VIDEOGAMES YOU MUST PLAY IN [YEAR] and of coruse the kid is going to be like "fuck this old ass game, I WANT THAT".

Unless you dont let your kid watch Youtube videos or play other games with other kids at school in mobile shit (because you can bet your ass the kid will want a tablet or phone or the equivalent of this), there is no escaping the fact that he is going to be exposed to newer shit always.

>I have a nephew and she
Electronics is the least of "her" worries...

Joking aside, proper parenting will actually lead to your kids not being addicted to that stuff. Hell, I have nieces and a nephew that can't get enough of going outside to play because that is how they were raised. The biggest problem is that you have to lead by example and make it look like you enjoy it. Something most people are incapable of in this day and age.

>Having Kids
>in 2018

>I have a nephew and she
>Electronics is the least of "her" worries...

kek i fucked it up.

>I have nieces and a nephew that can't get enough of going outside to play because that is how they were raised.

Same goes to my niece*, but the moment she went to elementary school, something like clicked in her and changed her ways, she started wanting more and more useless shit but she was nothing like that before, still she is like 7-8 but there was some change in her the moment she went to school.

...

>Did your parents let you play violent videogames?
Yes. I even watched shit like Striptease when it came out, at which time I was about 8 or 9. These things are only bad for kids if you neglect them.

>letting your kids play video games
Yeah I don't think so. I'm not gonna make the same mistake my parents did.

The oldest of the 3 is going to high school next year. It is an ongoing process to keep them from becoming degenerates. I'm not saying it is easy either. I know I would fail. It is possible though.

HAVING CHILDREN IS THE GREATEST EVIL ANYONE CAN COMMIT

LITERALLY FORCING SOMEONE TO SUFFER ON THIS PLANET

Nostalgia! ...IN THE HOUSE!
