I really hate that Nintendo keeps putting “new” in titles. There’s the New 3DS, a New Mario game, and I think there was a New Mario party? Could be wrong on that but I remember there was a “New Mario 2” 🤦🏾‍♂️

Yup, I got through like 4 sentences and thought, “no way this guy wrote this up just for this post”, saw how long it was and the tell-tale formatting and yeah chatgpt wrote this

Except that this is OP’s “adult” daughter. He’s not dealing with kids anymore. He’s enabling an adults shit behavior.

Well it just doesn’t make sense. “don’t blame the parent, they’re just enabling bad behavior.” ??? Don’t enable the bad behavior

My brother in Christ, are we viewing the same image? Thems dishes is nasty

Halo of course. I was skeptical until I played a demo, instantly bought in.

That’s funny, I had this exact experience much more recently when Breath of the Wild was relatively new. I heard so many people raving about how good it was but I was never a huge Zelda guy. Went to Best Buy to window shop, they had a switch on display with BotW queued up. I don’t think I even got in to combat before I thought, “ok, this is something special, I need to give this time”. Still play it here and there when I’m bored of other games.

I’ll agree that if I tried playing Sly Cooper for the first time as a fully grown adult I probably wouldn’t enjoy it nearly as much. But kids definitely know a good game from a bad one, that’s why there’s games targeted to kids/ teens that sell well and others that don’t. Just because they didn’t grab the attention of 30 year old you doesn’t mean they weren’t great games, you just weren’t the target audience. That’s like someone who was 30 when SpongeBob came out saying that it was never that good.

Out of curiosity, what games from that platform/ time do you consider good? Everyone’s coming at you for your (objectively wrong /s) opinions on these classics, surely there were some that you enjoyed.

Like others have said, any file can be dangerous. You need to be diligent in picking where your ROMs come from, if it’s a sketchy site don’t use it.

That being said I’ve been doing similar activities since I was like 12 years old and have got a virus exactly once, and it was completely my fault for not listening to my gut (disregarded some red flags because I really wanted something to work.)
