Reminds me of Happy Tree Friends... google at your own risk, lol.

Was actually going to post the same to stay ontopic but @Withywarlock beat me to it. This thread has run it's course i guess, unless somebody who is a parent with kids old enough to play videogames here wants to chim in and share their own experiences? I'd love to hear them if you are willing to post them as maybe we could learn a thing or two along the way.

Please stay on topic, folks. The question is "how old to start gaming?" I welcome new threads being made on other subjects, or them being taken to private messages, but we're not derailing this.

I've written 2 full length novels, several short stories, and a hell of a lot of unconventional poetry. That said, I can offer some advice. I assume you're writing fiction? The first sentence of every story is always the hardest. After that let the story write itself. Never force it. You have to have that itch to get back to writing it. But before you get too far you need to think about a few things. 1) Is it a narrative? 2) Are the characters relatable? 3) What kind of conflict will they be dealing with? 4) Is it told through eyes of a certain character? 5) Have you written a description of all the characters yet? 6) Do you know where you want to go with the story? Have you thought about the beginning, middle, and end separately so you know what you want to tell the reader? 7) Is it engaging enough to keep a person reading? 8.) Can you describe what your story is about to someone who asks? 9) Are you writing just as a hobby, or are you thinking about publishing? 10) Can YOU relate to your characters? For example in my first book, the main character was based off of me. We share a lot of the same attitude and view of the world. The only difference is that my character in that story is male, and I'm female. If you need more just ask and I'll help as much as I can. As a note to what @Withywarlock said, one of my books is currently on its 8th draft ans the other is on its 7th. More drafts will follow. Until it's perfect in my eyes, it will keep getting edits and rewrites. So don't get discouraged if you go to 7, 8, or 100 drafts. If you don't like it where it is, no one else will either.

Loving your own profile that much? That's pretty narcissistic. That was always there. Ever since I signed up almost 4 years ago. It's on every Invision board.

This song hits home hard for me, having had an abusive drunk for a "father". The only difference is that the man in the video wants help. My drunk only wanted help finding his next drink.

Which company or companies do you use for emails? I use Gmail for some purposes and Outlook 365 for some purposes. I like Gmail for my personal life but I like Outlook 365 for its Office products integration - it's great for business.

This means DRM style safeguards for your games. Honestly I don't see an issue with this when it comes to digital games. I also have no issue with it if it's to stop people from using fake game carts or stolen ones. I just hope this doesn't result in games becoming one time use. I don't think that would be the case. I think with this it makes sense for the Switch, because it's not like they are looking for people who sell their games. I think they genuinely want to stop people from illegally duplicating the game or finding ways of sharing it.

Guys I just found this on the British Comedy Channel Guide. It's nearly here!

There are a million things to scare us. Out of these 5, which would scare you the most?

Yes, generally the game is good. There's no doubt about it. It's only on the part of its time travel mechanics that it didn't live up to expectations. I believe that they can do better in the next release if they are planning on one.

oh, thanks for the reminder @Withywarlock, I'll keep that in mind... I usually google stuff 99% of the time, but I sort of wanted a personal context this time... hehe. 😅 also, looks like this kind of thing would float my boat, I'll check it out... 😉 LOL, happy tree friends, a part of my younger years. 🤣🤩 my favorite character is the moose and the PTSD SGT. somehow.... 😅 Reminds me somewhat of "Dumb ways to die" too now that you mentioned it. Google it for more context and/or if you want to play the games based on the viral original video. 😋

Try to give a bad description of your favorite game. For example : Yelling hoarder terrorizes medieval country and kills local lizards (Skyrim) 😆

All of these choices could be quite scary, though I picked the one that would be quite hard for me... I just picked #1, it sounds like the walking dead or something like outlast, oh well. But one thing's for sure, no matter which situation I might end up in, I'll do my darndest to survive! 🪓😅

Bus 236 from somewhere. 😂 On a slightly related note... this is sorta related to another post I made in this thread about puns about a bus. 🚌👇

Where are you working? At a bar that serves cyanide and a complimentary noose for each customer?

Anything in a hospital scares me. And I don't even need the dead, mutilated bodies around me. More like a doctor heading my way...to do just about anything. 😳 My biggest fear is anesthesia. P.S. Disturbing choices ^^ you've got up there! 😬😂

Looks like the weekend is over and a brand new week is upon us. I hope you all have a great week! 🙂

I believe it's part of cut content for the New Austin area, which I believe is inaccessible in the game. I believe it was originally planned, but they had to cut content and that's where they went.

Yeah I'd let my dad know first. But even so, having one my own wouldn't be bad either. I'm not that big into racing, but I gotta imagine it's a lot more fun to play via a racing wheel. And cool, if you ever make a racing setup, you should share your setup on the forum. 🙂

Does anyone live in or near Boston? I'm going to SatanCon next year, and having a bitch of a time finding a hotel that I can afford that isn't 45 minutes away.

It'll probably go off voice prompts. So saying shoot to shoot your gun, reload to reload, run to run. General things like that. Saying turn left to turn left. It'll be used in combination with the controller I imagine for some. That would be my guess anyway. I imagine it works off of certain prompts and phrases.

Denuvo is the worst thing you can have with your games. Not only it not do what it's suppose to do as it's get's cracked every time, it can and has caused massive performance issues, sometimes costing 20fps. By using such infamous and hated third party DRM it paints a bullseye on your games, thus actually making your games more vulnerable to being hacked and pirated, so it makes it worse for everyone. On PC it's bad for performance, but on what's already an underpowered console is recipe for disaster.

The songs beats is so cool 😎. I love it and thanks for uploading that. What's your car's plate number? 👇👇👇

I know about it and I have used the site but not that often, Just to check the stats about games and whatnot more then profiles as some of the readings are not on the point and true anyway.

This looked like a fan made trailer of a game, with a random anime episode, with pointless stock footage. The inconsistency made it super confusing and cheap looking.

They're raising the price because things aren't working out as they planned. Sony is beginning to slip in the overall scheme of things because they're realizing they can't compete with Microsoft in the long run. This is a second bad but necessary move within the last month in a probable succession of moves we will see ongoing.

Voted. I see @Kane99 winning this one, he's been doing great ever since he returned to being an active poster here on VGR.

Wow! That's just amazing... Tinybuild has come a long way, I still remember playing their flash game, "No time to explain" many years back. 😁 Man, I feel old. 😆 That's the guy in their logo, from their first game. Now I'm reading the wikipedia article lols because of nostalgia, and I want to see an overview of what they've been doing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TinyBuild

They say they're sticking with cross gen(so not built for the ground up on PS5) games until 2024/2025 and now this. Sony have gotten WAY too complacent and someone needs to humble them. Ditto goes for Nintendo too.

interesting development in tech, I liked the previous dead island games, let's see how useful this function will be. or will it just be an ignored "doohicky" 😁

Oops I became a supervillain on accident xD

Not gonna lie this does not look good at all and the fact resident evil 4, 5 and 6 are listed as influences does not give me high hopes either

True, but I never found them super trustworthy because of how people have hacked leaderboards in the past. Every COD I played resulted in hacked leaderboards with people that I don't think belonged. And even these days I can see some games having hacked leaderboards. So in some way I think it would be a good idea to keep stats yourself just in case they have some graphical glitch that cuts out your total or something. With tech you never know.

This is hilarious Well been a while I played 'womb raider' 🥴

He checks his potions and weapon wheel only to find it empty so he conjures his old friend who owns the sky. While waiting, he notices the body has claw marks and a shriveled body. That points to none other than the marrow suckers. He notices big yellow eyes everywhere staring at him in the trees. Everything else is covered by leaves and branches. The whole forest has these creatures waiting in the trees. Off in the distance, that looks to be a dragon dashing through the clouds.

You guys do realize this all made up right ?....

Irritating indeed, the government should stop such move from the scientists discovery joining the hormones of pigs and humans together. I don't like such kind of transplant of the heart, from humans to pigs, from pigs to human. They should maintain naturalization, just as God created those things.

Texans are breeding fairly rampant in the wild now. There is concern about babies born out on the pastures and what kind of protections or rights they should have. Could you actually catch them and raise as livestock? Or let them eat on the floor of the dinner table? Or just leave them be in their habitat? They prefer to wallow in mud so it might be best to just leave them be. Some think that they could over reproduce and become pests that have to eventually be hunted. The leading spokesperson for Happy Texas Pigs advocates for freedom to wallow without human intervention. He lived in the wild as a piglet until it got stuck in a trap. He has shown that human pig hybrids can function in normal society, but do to their excessive unsanitary habits and potty behaviors, he says they would be happier grazing. Snorto Junior the 5th Here is a recent human piglet Snorto has found in the wild. He currently has tagged this hybrid to find out its habits. Sometimes they can look cute as piglets, but we shouldn't ignore the fact that some areas in Texas already has an invasive hybrid of human pigs. It's hard to distinguish which species they come from so we should always be on guard. This pig hybrid was captured on video molesting a calf and later ate its intestines. Wildlife and animal control was able to track it down and tranquilize it. It's currently awaiting bond at the local pig pound. In other news, Texas is the first state to elect a pig to control the state's finances. Some say that this official gets a bit greedy at times and some have even called for investigations into corruption.

That was almost perfect, it should have been;

You know what, I think we've listed literally all of them at this point. I think we should keep this topic going, but maybe switch to a different letter?

I’ve got 30 years experience with daemonology. I know how to handle that side as well. It’s actually quite easy if you stand firm.

2:58 hits me so hard.

Weed of the Wild

It's time to sit down for the Call of Bootie and play to the God of Whore

Breast of the Wild

Yep, that's Fartcry 4
