  • Mario 64?
  • Ocarina of Time?
  • ~~Turkish~~Turok?
  • Goldeneye?

This kid is about to meet one of the gaming gods.

Kid'll be fine.

Besides, what super awesome lifestyle changing game is out right now that the kid will miss?

Edit: Ha! Yes, Turok, not Turkish!

Turkish?

One of these things is not like the other... I tried to look this up and can't find it. My best guess is an autocorrected Turok?

I've tried to figure out what your typo for "Turkish" was supposed to be. I can only assume "Turok".

Ehhh, there's a lot of crap on Roblox, but some of it isn't bad. There's just the obvious UI bullshit and constant spam to buy shit, but I take that opportunity to shit on people who do that so that my kids understand that's a dirty practice.

My 16 year old understands that concept, my 10-year-old is policed by the 16 year old and has a 1 hour time limit anyway, my 8-year-old would actively look for things to break and buy and gamble because he falls into all of the traps the game creators make. So I installed retroarch on his tablet and he can play all the good games.
