Date: November 25th, 2025 10:57 AM Author: SneakersSO I recommend Genesis and 32X. If they are going to be playing "the video games," they should be extremely hard and badass.
Western-developed 21st century indies can be quite hard, but are not badass. They should not start with these imo because the games, the devs, and the players are all gay.
Soulslikes are a gateway drug for JRPGs and other Japanese games. Stay away. |

Date: November 25th, 2025 11:00 AM Author: SneakersSO Speedrunners appear to be gay af from what I've seen. There is a symbiotic relationship between Engineers who find insane glitches and gay guys who autistically play the games. It reminds me of the relationship between game devs and journalists.

Date: November 25th, 2025 11:09 AM Author: SneakersSO I'm going to be honest with you. I had that game in 1991. It never occurred to me to try to beat it. I and others just played it like a typical beat-em-up where you treat it like an arcade game, get your ass kicked, and ngaf. It's not the frustrating kind of difficulty because it doesn't inspire you to care. That's probably what most people would do. I only became autistic enough to actually try to play through it much later.
with that said, the gameplay variety as the levels unfold is impressive af. even the soundtrack is good. it has Cutscenes practically. clearly Rare had a ton of potential, and Nintendo was shrewd to take a stake in them. |

Date: November 25th, 2025 11:13 AM Author: SneakersSO This inevitably leads to just scrolling through titles. Genesis + NO SONIC GAMES is an incredible combination for creating a strong, virile gaming foundation. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5802252&forum_id=2Elisa#49459171) |

Date: November 25th, 2025 11:14 AM Author: SneakersSO Btw, the mini Genesis Classic did more for the legacy of its forebear than any mini console. It was the best mini console. PS1 Classic was the worst. Nintendo never released one for N64 due to its lack of games. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5802252&forum_id=2Elisa#49459175) |

Date: November 25th, 2025 11:24 AM Author: SneakersSO btw this is a serious consideration where my Bastard Nephew is concerned. The thing is, you can lead a boy to a console, but you can't make him play. You have very little control of what Console your sons will favor. You can do all the right things and they'll still become gamecube fans. That's just the world we live in. But that's no reason to not at least try.

Date: November 25th, 2025 12:46 PM Author: SneakersSO people who start gaming late seem dumber. it's not because they start later per se but it's a symptom, idk. but I've seen threads at times on the internet where they insist say 8 years old is simply too young to handle [easy JRPG] or something. And when they do this they are telegraphing how dumb they are imho. there's a type of person who didn't really game much from like 8-12 but then became obsessed with violent FPSs. These are the Xbox 360 die-hards. They missed the best gaming years and in doing so they totally spoiled their development as gamers. I also get the feeling that they were so slow-witted that they needed to reach a more advanced age to handle video games. |

fear he will become obsessed with beating whatever game he's given. if it's open ended like Minecraft could lose him to the console tp

Date: November 25th, 2025 1:16 PM Author: SneakersSO a 5 year old would have to be aspergery and obsessive af to be that good at chess imo. and this means hes probably susceptible to becoming addicted to boring shit like minecraft.
