Roblox Accused of Concocting Illegal Gambling Ring for Minors - Bloomberg Law

Can you please go into the specifics of why you don’t let your kids play Roblox? I had been avoiding it until a well intentioned relative got my son a Roblox gift card. It was immediately made clear that I was against the game which created an awkward situation for my relative. I decided to soften my stance, and use it as a teaching moment. I explained how the game works and how my son was to use his Robux. He was to play the game(s) for a certain length of time and then make an informed decision about where to spend his money at. Of course he spent it on some stupid powerup on a game that he ended up stopping playing some days later. We used it as a teaching moment for both of my kids and what a waste of money the game is. I also explained to them how P2W games are predatory in nature, and that I would never personally allow them to pay a single cent into Roblox or any other game. My son is constantly proud of how he is F2P and always beating all of the P2W noobs.

I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?

Was he interested in developing games in Roblox or just playing them? If he was interested in development, consider showing to him Godot. Do a simple tutorial together, maybe a multiplayer that he can send and show off to his friends.

Brick Immortar - does very neutral, safety oriented breakdowns of maritime disasters (mostly) I love his narration, he speaks with a ton of authority imo and I find all the procedures and rules of ships fascinating. Animagrafs - modern marvels but shorter and on 1 topic. Extremely professional animations of big ass machines. He just did one on Big Boy steam locomotives and it was amazing to see the systems work. The Squidd - does video essays on famous cars and their histories Game makers tool kit - following his journey of learning game development History of the entire universe - incredible free documentaries about the deepest and craziest topics about our universe and reality. I listen to them to sleep I did a thing Backyard scientist William Osman ^science YouTubers, menaces Marcus house - following along with space progress, specifically starship. No clip - video game documentaries People make games - interesting stories about gaming, very professional deep dive stuff (Roblox is the devil) Regular Car Reviews - bizarre car reviews with a goofy narrator who makes a ton of literary references I think he used to be a teacher Secret Base - sports stat nerds (watch their scoragami and worst NFL punt videos) Technology connections - learn how genius some of our everyday inventions really are Zack Freedman - ADHD tech maker 3d printing nerd

Steam is a ticking time bomb

I disagree with the author, the enshittification of Steam started ages ago. Day one, in fact. It’s come and gone in waves. Yesterday there was an article on the exploitative practices of Roblox doing the rounds around here. Some of the bad praxis around monetized UGC called out there was pioneered by Steam. Online DRM for single player games? Steam was there at ground level. NFT stock markets? Steam tried really hard, they were just bad at it. Gig economy automation replacing human moderation and greenlight processes? They banged their head against that wall until they uberified PC game development successfully. Loot boxes? They are remarkably resilient. Where others have moved on, Valve insists on keeping them around for CounterStrike 2. Also, CounterStrike 2. There are also ways in which Steam is ahead of the competition, or they wouldn’t have the near-monopolistic position they have. Their Linux support may be motivated entirely out of spite and an ironic fear of Microsoft’s monopoly, but it’s welcomed. Their client is easily the best in the market and there are crucial features from it that should have been universalized by MS or Nvidia and still haven’t been, somehow. It’s good stuff. But it’s been enshittified since day one of Steam, when it launched torjan horsed with CS and Half Life 2, and it remains problematic in many areas, including its role as a single point of failure for game preservation on PC.

What is your favorite thing about being a parent?

My son will start college in the fall, and will be studying actuarial math, which I had never even heard of before he told me his plan. My youngest has taught me all about Dandy’s World (a game she plays on Roblox) and a cartoon Survivor-like reality show called Battle for Dream Island. Not really something that I’d spend my own time on, but I’m hoping Book wins this season.
