Why Kids Love Minecraft and Fortnite: A Parenting Perspective

Minecraft and Fortnite may be two sides of the same gaming coin, but both offer valuable lessons for our kids in creativity, teamwork, and digital literacy

Ah, here we are again in 2024, watching as our kids dive headfirst into the pixelated worlds of Minecraft and Fortnite like it’s the new Olympic sport. As a seasoned mom (and proud owner of an extensive collection of questionable parenting choices), I can’t help but scratch my head and ask: what is it about these games that has our kids glued to their screens while we reminisce about the good ol’…

something i promised on my kofi 6 months ago... 🫠

#sorry for people who has been asking for commission and finding me very unresponsive #literally i don't feel ready mentally ; i think the '6 months' is self-explanatory #frieren: beyond journey's end #fern #sousou no frieren #fanart #frieren at the funeral #actually it was 1.5 years ago; i was supposed to be drawing other character that time #but for 9 months i didn't manage to make myself sit down & finish it; so 6 months ago i re-asked if the person wanted other character #bcs i thought i need to re-start fresh & maybe the person's interest had changed #ko fi #when drawing for money sometimes u sit down & just stop 'working' entirely ; like ur will goes blue screen & refuse to do it #because it's / work / and u have to be more meticulous ; it gives u all the extra pressure #tho i like to have the money again.... but i'll start studying again soon; and i'll need to do my best on this one i think #drawing has always been a distraction on my study so maybe it is a good thing if my drawing drive dies down for a good while #tho not drawing at all also stress me out; finger crossed for good life balance #I CAN'T BELIEVE POPULAR TAG SHOWING THAT PEOPLE ALSO KNOW IT AS 'FRIEREN AT THE FUNERAL'. THAT SOUNDS WAY TOOOO DEPRESSINGGGG.....😭😭😭😭

well. you know. rome's three headed monster, of course.

#if pompey was in starz spartacus i would be making a comparative post right now #pompey where ARE YOU get BACK in ROME and ON SCREEN #ah well. tragic. pompey and caesar got screen time in ac origins while crassus is non existent so it balances out i guess #if crassus was in ac origins i'd be trying to kill him dead before the introductory cutscene finished like GIVE ME HIS HEAD RIGHT NOW #this is not about dead romans by the way. this is a book on a director's filmography and an examination of it's politics #but it can also be about rome. after all. a rotten paterfamilias named cesar is still named cesar

it's past 3am idc anymore. he was hinted but not officially named & had less than 10 minutes of screen time but in my opinion matthew goode is the best modern version of dracula i have seen in YEARS.

#i got my abigail dvd 🥹#i would sell my toes to get a prequel to this film to see him as a modern dracula #the perfect balance of menacing intimidating and charming in less than 10 minutes of screen time #in those few minutes he managed to capture dracula in the modern world perfectly #it was the BALANCE of old fashioned the gothicness of the mansion yet in the 21st century it may be a fun slasher horror but to me ART #i mean he portrayed matthew in adow flawlessly so i had no doubt he would be fantastic but blimey it was incredible 🤩#my second favourite book in the world finally got a worthy modern lead in an adaptation and it was ONLY FOR LESS THAN 10 MINS #this is from someone who did dracula and adaptations of dracula for part of their degree and had to contend with some terribly written ones #kristof lazaar #count dracula #abigail 2024 #matthew goode #dracula

One of my design goals with Susan Taxpayer is that there should always be a smooth way to transition from one moment in the level to the next, in the room-to-room gameplay. Like, secret breakable walls that allow you to keep your momentum or adjusted platforms so that they're just low enough so that you can chargebounce onto them if you know exactly what you're doing. I want speedrunning the levels to be fun and rewarding while still making the basegame beatable by being slow and methodical. trying to cater to both types in a way. You are rewarded with extra health and coins for scouting out every single area in a level and taking your time, but if you're speedrunning, you probably don't need that, so there's always little alternative routes you can take that blast through sections at the expense of a safety net.

#my posts #susan taxpayer #gamedev #like theres a section in the very first level with a DKC barrel type thing #and if you follow the ''intended'' path you have to wait for the barrels to move across the screen in certain spots #but if you know what you're doing you can fucking full send skip like two of them and gain a LOT of time #the risk is that you'll drop down below if you don't know what youre doing and waste MORE time #its a fun balance to create

Many nights at 11:15 pm I realize that I didn't do anything I wanted to get done that evening, though nor did I do anything to relax, and instead spent it all...idk, languidly washing dishes, pacing around my apartment, and scrolling apps. And I always say 'tomorrow...tomorrow I will use my time wisely'. Ad nauseam.

#I'm either glued to my computer screen drawing my comic til 11 or #fucking around but never in a way that is actually fun or enriching #I'M BAD AT BALANCING I GUESS #maybe tomorrow I really WILL use my time wisely #i need to return back to my january resolution where if I refresh or cycle through apps three times I...do something else for an hour

Which version of Rick is your fav?

it's so hard for me to choose tbh. HOWEVER, I'd say Evil Rick

then I'd say it's C-137 and Memory Rick

I love how pathetic™ Evil Rick really is tbh. love that he's being controlled by his Morty. can you guess who my favorite Morty is?

#the only reason why Evil is above C-137 and Memory is because #Memory's design is something I don't really like in the style of the show #his fanart makes him look so much cooler but in the show he just looks.. unfinished?#idk it's weird to me. I love him outside of that though #and with C-137. I'M SICK OF HIM LMAO I AM SO SORRY #there are too many fucking episodes dedicated to this man. pushing everyone else aside just to have him yap about his dead wife #I love him so much but there's only so many times we can bring Diane up and not really develop her as a character but rather to boost Rick #and the show is Rick and MORTY yet all I see is Rick 😭😭 don't get me wrong I love this man #I just feel like we know more about Rick than the rest of the family #WHICH IS FINE IF THAT WAS WHAT THEY WERE GOING FOR #and if they wanted to go in that direction so be it! it's fine!#I just feel like he needs less screen time or at least balance episodes among the family #cause even the most recent Morty episode is about Rick. it was so frustrating watching it cause it's literally MORTY'S fear hole experience #yet we're watching Morty's head canons about his grandparents #I also hate the narrative they took with Diane. only ever having Rick talk of her or others bring her up #it just doesn't make her a character but rather an extension off of Rick. that's how I'm feeling rn with the family #they're all just there to prop up Rick or something. super annoying #but that's about it. I'm not gonna continue my rant #unless you want me to?#idk if I even made sense but that's all good #rick and morty #rick and morty fandom #rick #memory rick #evil rick #C-137 #Rick Sanchez

you’re created with hands circling your wrists. there’s never any offense meant, you must understand - it’s simply that you’re a story, and someone’s come by this desperate need to learn how to let the hell go.

#the zone rpg #bakuspecial #:] hi. I think the game's in print now. so I can post this #heheheheh. total number came to six. very good number. very happy with the cards I did!!#gonna have to learn how to draw like this on a graphic tablet tho... no matter what the screen tablet was. bad. for my wrists #and my back too tbh. bowing over my lap to draw isnt great #but! my time with it has been beautiful. it was very good for my understanding art brain. its taught me a lot #I just need to. translate all that. to a different kinda kinetic scheme #well! that wont be a thing I think about too much for at least the next week. I am Out Of Da City Babeyy #okay. I go finish my drink. this place I am in slaps Ive already been swindled once #the coconut they sold me was good tho miles better than what we got out north. so I'll take it. for triple the price apparently #oh well! thats for the cab I refused to take. it all balances out #have a good day lads! check out the zone rpg! it owns! there's a free browser version if u wanna play!

I CAN'T get enough of tk beaming with happiness on his wedding day like that 🥹 HIS SMILES ARE TO DIE FOR (will leave that to carlos reyes) he's so blissed and happy and smiley and he will NOT waste a moment not having as much fun as he can, dragging his friends to the dance floor and all

#ofc they filmed so much material for the wedding bc there is so much potential for many fun stuff to pull off with a full on wedding set #i'm just SO HAPPY we're seeing those joyous moments because its a celebration!!! and a celebration of love!!! those moments of happy times #are just as integral to what a wedding is as every range of emotion there #I can only imagine how substantial and balancing to the bitter-sweet ratio those scenes would've been to the on screen wedding #but obviously that's restricted to the narrative and time so i get that #4x18 #name debate #deleted scene #911 lone star #911ls #tk strand #carlos reyes #tarlos #ronen rubinstein #rafael silva #may 16

Fire Emblem Awakening families in my play through…

#tried to go off of kid impressions to think of who would be fun/fitting for their fathers..#also kind of off if age within reason lol #and wanted a good balance while keeping w dramatic irony #like I think Lon’qu simply should have a daughter and a daughter who is a LOT…#kellam tharja is funny but like quiet father to Noire with her mother’s dark side..#also Yarne is so anxious and stressed all the time I think Frederick fits as a total worrywart…#+ gaius motivates gerome’s whole look.. he crafts… he doesn’t have a reason to stick around until of course he does…#his son working to not get attached because if he does it’ll hurt more than it already does..#inigo looks like chrom already and also I think legend father gives him that bravado but also sense of always measuring up… secret shyness.#and silly boy with serious older sister is fun…#also I just think Anna is funny and kinda meta in that she has her shops and is the DLC load screen and I couldn’t feel a pull for anyone #else w (male) Robin… because I think he is in love with Chrom lol… they are so beards #like to me vaike is too close to Owain to be his father.. Virion is too close to inigo and also can’t see it w Olivia anyway #sorry stahl I just couldn’t see him with anyone….#Libra was obsessed w emmeryn and also is gay imo..#and say’ri idk she appeared so late…#fire emblem #fire emblem awakening

i love the bg3 piece you just uploaded!!! is it based on an older painting? it looks vaguely familiar

nope! just inspired by the diamonds are a girl's best friend musical number :3 it's a fairly simple/conventional composition tho so I wouldn't be surprised if there was something similar out there

#ask #and thank u! I spent way too much time trying to make it look pretty hopefully the color balance looks ok on any screen

After 10 trillions years I have finally sat down and played the first Danganronpa. Gotta say I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I anticipated!

#yes I did play the games backwards and played v3 then sdr2 and now thh #my favourite character is probably #hmmm #it's a toss up between chihiro mondo and sakura #actually you know what I really loved how this cast was handled #like the distinct personalities were so fun #I like how this game wasn't afraid to make the cast unlikeable #byakuya and celeste being apologetically rude was a breath of fresh air #I love v3 its always gonna be my favourite but I felt it was afraid to make any of the characters seem like the bad guy #in thh everyone was just themselves and it was great!!! all the conflict felt natural #and another thing I loved is how the game didn't shy away from giving other characters beside makoto screen time #it felt more balanced like sure makoto is the main character so he should be the centre of attention #but the game also progressed everyone elses stories outside of free time events too #granted the game does have some blaring issues that are Super Bad #chapter 2 springs to mind #I felt a lot of things could've been handled more sensitively #anyway I might make a post later talking about my opinons of the cast if anyone is interested??

playing bunal for the first time as an unfortunate monolingual is so crazy because i have no idea what’s happening. just nodding along and looking at the pretty boys

#watch as my neck snaps as i constantly look between screens trying to balance the game and wiki at the same time #bungo to alchemist #bunal #i only have a tiny semblance of understanding from the anime okay #God Bless the wiki
