And so it begins. (feddit.uk)
 

It's been a fun four years since I last had to have these around the house....but alas it's time to bring the potty out once more.

Hopefully he takes to it as well as his sister. I am not confident.

Have you replaced any British words with their American versions? (feddit.uk)

For example, switching out the word 'boot' for 'trunk', or ditching the word 'rubbish' for 'garbage'.

This is something I've noticed my 6 year old does pretty regularly. We went through a stage where 'sweets' became 'candy', 'holiday' became 'vacation' and 'courgette' became 'zucchini'.

That last one didn't happen but if you're still reading you've got my respect, or as the Americans might say '...mad props'.

How do you balance playing with your kids and leaving them to play by themselves/with siblings? (feddit.uk)

This is something I've always struggled with and I think it's put my daughter in a spot where she's very reluctant to do anything by herself.

Don't get me wrong, she plays well with others and her younger brother, but when he's not available she basically just wants to play with me rather than going off on her own and playing by herself.

Now I don't mind, but I wouldn't mind a bit of...not playing time but also I'm worried it's going to affect her going down the line.

Thoughts?

Saturday Moanings for April 6th (feddit.uk)
 

How has your week been? How are the kids? What's going on and what have you got planned?

Welcome to Saturday Moanings, your safe place to vent, moan and otherwise just....have a good whine about the world, your household and everything in between.

Hellblade 2, FPS and is it really important? (feddit.uk)
 

How are we feeling about this?

The game won't have a performance/quality mode at launch, but you will be allowed to tweak a little if you're playing on PC.

Now obviously it's not the worst thing in the world, and I'm sure many will be perfectly fine playing at 30, but I can't help but be disappointed by this news.

On a personal level I'll always go with the framerate over graphical fidelity; oftentimes the differences between the visuals in a quality mode just don't justify the loss of that smooth 60FPS, although I'm willing to grant that mileage may vary on that one.

I understand the constant want to improve visuals. They go a long way towards selling a game to it's audience, but I wish we'd gotten to a point where you could 1) have a conversation about the importance of FPS without appearing like a snob and 2) allow devs to prioritize 60FPS over graphical fidelity.

So yeah???

I just got some advice from a person who doesn't have kids..... (feddit.uk)
 

Which makes me wonder. Dad's of Lemmy...what's the worst advice you've ever received about parenting?

How are you planning on mixing up your DLC build? (feddit.uk)
 

Elden Ring was my first Fromsoft game, so I played it pretty straight; big slow sword, lots of health and a large damage output.

I'll most likely be starting a new run this evening, and I'm thinking of mixing it up and going down a Magic path for a change (if anyone could explain the difference between Magic and Faith that'd be grand).

Are you planning on doing a rebuild? And if so, how are you going to mix it up?

[Weekly Thread] - What We're Playing - April 1st 2024 (feddit.uk)
 

Monday! The long weekend is nearly over and if you're anything like our house you've eaten nothing but meat, potatoes and chocolate. And maybe, just maybe you've managed to find some time over the last seven days to play some videogames!

Let us know what you've been playing over the last seven days.

Saturday Moanings (...on a Sunday). (feddit.uk)
 

My eldest is screaming because she didn't get as many eggs as she thought she would. Thanks Bluey.

How's your weekend going?

(Open-Ended) What do you like and dislike about the Lemmy experience so far? in c/actual_discussion@lemmy.ca
[–] Oneeightnine@feddit.uk 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My biggest issue with Lemmy so far is that it feels like we've got an awful lot of lurkers, and whilst that's fine I do struggle with the idea that the place lacks content, whilst also having a relatively quiet userbase.

It puts a lot of strain on a few people to bring the content. If those people don't bring it, it can be pretty quiet, especially on the smaller communities.

How does that work if you're already over the 2 hours of playtime?

Does anyone feel like an actual adult? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Oneeightnine@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

No one has any idea what they're doing.

I'm 35. I've got two kids. I make it up as I go along. There's no plan, no blueprint. There's just the day to day crap that life has for us all. I wake up, I go to work and my only real aim is to get home to my kids and partner.
