Interesting back story incoming. My brother and I worked at one of the best restaurants (at the time) in Greensboro NC USA. My brother’s roommate (Mike), for several years (1989 - 1992 I believe), had only a high school education. After working a shift at the restaurant, he’d return home and shut himself in his room for hours (this was almost every day). My brother inquired out of curiosity and Mike showed my brother his computer set-up and the types of digital graphics he had been working on. Mike sent a 3 dimensional application to a digital graphics arts school (I believe in Raleigh NC) and was immediately accepted. After easily completing this program of study (Mike was highly gifted and driven), he was snatched up by the company that developed Myst. He went from barely scraping by to making a substantial amount of money in the field he dreamed to work in.
As far as the argument against the argument for your point, the logical argument was complete in the first paragraph:
the academic community has failed to produce any negative relationship between video games and real life.
I have not been able to find any evidence that would support the claims of talking heads, etc.
My other son is ‘on the spectrum’ and is a joy with all of his uniqueness.
Still having lots of fun playing Diablo 4 Season 4. Got a necromancer and a barbarian to 100. Now, I’m leveling up a sorcerer.
We can still find engagement in small niche subs on Reddit. We’ve known, for many years, that people were going to move away from large corporate-controlled sites such as Reddit, Twitter etc…
The Fediverse is addressing this. It isn’t a panacea. However, it is a re-imagining of what we want the Internet to be.
There are many others, that will come along after us, to address this further.

Season 4 has been the best so far. They made a lot of improvements to the game. It’s the most fun I’ve had with Diablo 4.

This belongs in c/space. You can move it there if you want. Your choice.
‘Traumatic’ just means emotionally distressing. He was disappointed. He wasn’t harmed.
You have made a mountain out of a molehill. Neither of my two sons have ever experienced trauma.
Go through and read the other comments in this thread. Has anyone else raised alarm bells? The answer is no.
Please, don’t make accusations here at Beehaw. It isn’t nice.
I have spent a great deal of time in forests (and still do). I have not experienced anything like this.
I’ve expressed this many many times to him over the years. I’ve said something like “I want to play games to have fun. If the game isn’t fun for me, then I will not play it anymore”.
I believe that he understands this. However, he just wanted so much to understand Elden Ring and beat it.
Personally, Elden Ring is NOT fun to play and that’s why I don’t play it.
I’m just astounded that my 8-10 year old son persevered so much to beat it.
Care to elaborate?
You could reach out for help if you were running into problems. AskBeehaw would be an example for inquires. Also, there’s nothing preventing anyone from asking for technical support at Beehaw’s technology community which has the largest viewership on Beehaw.
I believe most people in this thread are missing your point in which I agree.

This is the way.
I’ve used Firefox for so many years…can’t remember precisely. If there was a better option, then I’d be open to it.
