I think a friend of mine would be delighted to have his children play video games.
They are only consuming [tiktock, yt, other social media].
I think he rather wants his children beating Red Alert campaign, than cpnsum 10s tiktocks.
Modding your first game, opening condigs ans inis, because key-remapping wasn't a thing...all the gateways to interact with file system.
I'm hooking mine up on games as soon as they can hold a mouse and a keyboard, airgap the PC.
My oldest is about ready for her first computer, so I have an ewaste laptop earmarked for Christmas that I'll have to tweak the configuration a bit more on before then.
She's been getting better at better playing Minecraft and learning how to ask us how to spell the names of things so she can search for them in Minecraft, and getting pretty good with the mouse and keyboard too
I caught my son using Linux PC and Android tablet at the same time... he was just using the microphone in Gboard to learn to spell out what he wanted to put on his signs in Minecraft Java.
Learning how to edit config.sys to get sound working without internet help was a rite of passage for many.
The first time I knew I wanted to hack the planet was when I figured out how to edit a config file in Castles II: Siege and Conquest which let me start with max gold and resources so I could finally conquer the entire map and make that smug fucking pope eat my entire ass.
I plan to teach my son how to mod consoles and play retro games on them 😂
