  • This remind me of those random flash… Let’s call them creations as they are neither games or animations specifically.

    It starts with 1 A and a wait time of thirty seconds, each time you press the big X, it adds an ‘A’, and increasingly multiplies the time. You end up with the AAAAAAAAAAAAA Game, and are waiting for hours.

    Does it do anything? No. It is vaguely humorous? Kinda?












  • It’s not that I prefer having images occluded by anything, signatures, text boxes, or whatever… But when it comes to online protections for someone’s work, hell yeah put that shit on there.

    The best part is that I’ve been saying this well before generative AI was mainstream. Artists who put their work on public domains who don’t want it getting into the hands of others shouldn’t have an issue with signing the hell out of the image. They can of course add it before uploading and not to the original.

    Would it be amazing if people properly lisenced others work and/or requested permission to use it? Absolutely. That’s just not the world we live in.





  • It would be helpful to understand what types of games the kid was playing in the first place to suggest alternatives. I ripped this answer from quora on how to see which games within roblox your child was playing

    • Game History: Roblox used to have a “Game History” feature that allowed users to view a list of recently played games. This feature showed the last few games you played, but it was limited in terms of historical data. It’s worth checking if this feature is still available in your account settings.
    • Roblox Account Activity: You can check your Roblox account’s activity feed, which may show some information about recent game interactions and achievements. However, this feed typically doesn’t display a comprehensive game history.
    • Roblox API: Some third-party websites and tools may offer services that attempt to retrieve and display more extensive game history data by accessing Roblox’s API. Be cautious when using third-party services and make sure they are reputable and secure.

    I went looking for any kind of account tracker and to no one’s surprise they are mostly about account value from items, not so much about worlds/experiences they have been on.

    Most of the responses I’ve seen on here are just suggesting games which may or may not be to your kids looking purely based on those games being generally accepted as good.


  • The method to it’s madness is fairly underhanded to adults, much more so for its’ intended audience.

    I wish I could find the video that did a basic deep dive on all (negative) aspects of the roblox community, from the robux, to the game makers potential for being exploited, and the oddly nft/stock market of cosmetics which are a massive fomo money sink. It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t aimed at children, but because it is, that only makes the handful of bad/fringe cases even more unsettling.

    It’s no big secret that kids are dumb enough to try and get robux for free from almost any link saying they can online. But the incentive is there for them to try.

    Removing roblox from a kids library is a good thing for peace of mind. Plus there are plenty of other games out there to play with friends and depending on how they spent their time on roblox, it likely wouldn’t be terribly hard to match to another game within whatever genre they were playing.

    Which is a shame. I prefer alternate rules which change the plus cards rules to allow plays such as more +2’s added on top, color appropriate skips and reverses, wild cards and +4’s.

    Wild cards simply pass the draw to the next player. Basically every face card can be used to counter draw cards, though usually by adding more danger. It just adds a level of skill and planning over a game where getting randomed by a +2 or +4 is just a loss.
