    Damn this one stings.

    Instead of wanting a video game as a present… They want a bunch of resources for the video game they already play.

    And here i was assuming that with all the gamer parents, kids where going to be guided towards actually good games.

      Gamer uncle of kids with non-gamer parents here.

      I did what I could.

      My niece’s taste in games is impeccable. She’s 13 and among her favorites are Hollow Knight, the Ori games, Inscryption, Cult of the Lamb, and of course big mass kids appeal games like Pokemon and Mario.

      My nephew (9) is a lost cause. It’s all Roblox and mobile child casino garbage and he doesn’t have even the slightest interest in anything else. I’m pretty sure my partner and I are the only people in his life who have never given him Robux.
