I helped for the battles and reading the dialogues but he did all the exploring by himself. He’s so thrilled, but also sad it’s over. Now I’m hesitant between Pokemon FireRed (he loves Pokemon but that a lot more text to read) or PaperMario TTYD (but we don’t have a switch for the remaster version). Any other ideas for the next game. He loves RPG style games where you get to think and explore more than reflex/speed based games.

What a time to be alive. Using a PS3 controller on a Macintosh laptop to play a Nintendo game, all while using board games as a desk. Lmfao I love it op.

  That’s a Ps4 controller.

    Either way. Thanks for the clarification though; I don’t PlayStation.

To be fair, TTYD doesn’t hit switch until next year sometime. It’s hard to pass up pokemon!

  Ooh Chrono Rrigger. Plus I finished it twice so I can help him.

  Once it’s out, though, TTYD was incredible!

Nothing spurred my son to read (and then read better and faster) more than the fact that it was required to play video games.

Poor kid having to play on a MacBook

  It’s my old work MacBook. He’s using OpenEmu (easy to use interface) but may switch to RetroArch/Dolphin

    Ok sure, that explains a lot.

  What about a MacBook is not optimal for retro gaming?
  
  Beautiful screen, excellent battery life, GNU-centric OS, possibly ARM-based arch (depending on model)…
  
  We should all be so lucky!

    It’s great! This is an older Mac, so the battery is meh. And Intel based (at least it has a discreet graphics chipset). It has a lot of emulators and you can do a lot of other things on it too. Plus it was free, as it’s my old backup work laptop that was going to be digital waste. It’s getting a few more years of use that way.

Is this child abuse

source
- LazaroFilm@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  Nope. He absolutely loved it. He’s also building his own website (with weebly, and yesterday he stumbled upon the dev console and figured out hot to change bright backgrounds to black lol)

  In no way is this child abuse. Preventing your child from playing Paper Mario is though.

Dragon Quest is the OG for a reason. The remakes are a lot less grindy and don’t use ye olde Englysshe so they would be easier to read but less educational.

Lmao I can see the tipofmyjoystick posts in 15-20 years

“Hey so I played this game on a laptop, it had a red guy and it was turn based and everything had these flat visuals. It might have been a playstation game because I remember using a ps4 controller”

  We usually played on the couch but this time he wanted to be there instead. 🤷‍♂️
