Goes outside
Gets RDM'd
Daddy was one of the handful of lucky survivors who weren’t crushed by a SUV or abducted by a serial killer. Back then, families had, like, 13 kids so that at least one or two would survive the perils of playing outside.
In Mallorca I saw a playground. This playground had no trees around whatsoever. There was no possibility to be any shadow anywhere on this playground. And in the center, there was the highlight. A slide. A metal slide. Just standing there in broad daylight, no chance of ever getting any shade. This is where kids lost their bums.
Edit: found it
I remember the burning heat of the metal slide as a kid. Our play structures were much larger than this postage stamp tho. The area shown here was about the footprint of the structure, we also had a huge litter box... I mean sand box under it to limit broken bones from falling 12'+. Some kids bounced, others did not
Kids would be way better off outside than on the cesspool that is Roblox.
I had Lego as a kid then I discovered Minecraft ,it was wonderful.
We had Minecraft and Lego as kids as well and still played outside a lot. I thought that mix was still mostly normal, is it not?
I consumed Minecraft in a non healthy way like 8hours a day or more , that was beautiful.
I was like this about books as a teen, one time i accidentally pulled an all nighter on a school night. Well, I realized it was 5am and figured there's no point in sleeping for 2 hours.
They widened the roads, increased the speed limits, and made the cars bigger and more blind.
So kids died, a lot, and parents banned going outside unaccompanied. Kids got tired of asking mum's permission to go to the park like a baby, and just played video games instead.
I had a lot of silly conversations before stumbling onto this.
You have restored my faith in lemmy. Thank you.
This was not on my Tiananmen Square bingo card.
call it playing outside before the 90s simulator and I'm in.
I mean, idk how old OP is but Roblox is old enough that it's theoretically ppssible
Yeah, if he had his first kid at age 12
Roblox released in 2006. Let's say dad was 12 in 2006 and played it then. Dad would now be 30. Which means 8yo was born when dad was 22. Very plausible.
Yeah, I remember the war between Roblox and Blockland back in the day (2008).
Ah good times.
I came here to cry about this hitting me on a personal level and then you just went and did math.
Roblox came out in 2006? On what platform?
Windows.
iOS in 2012 and android in 2014.
Did you not?
Ngl, your title had me hyped for a minute there.
That'd be a great game. The entire neighbourhood is warfare. Cubby building, better sticks make for better guns, gotta make alliances with the right street, and make sure the kid with the fancy bike is on your side.
