I watch Kamen Rider with my nephew and it's a great time.
Literally all you need is the social sense to know if a kid is interested in something or not, and give them room to have their own interests.
Sharing cool shit with the new generation is how non-dogshit taste is passed along, so you have a duty to do it well but with tact.

I don't want many people to play my childhood games, I left them behind in my childhood. If they ask for games to play I'm going to recommending some really basic bitch shit if I am only going with what I played in childhood.

If you don't teach your kids someone else will.
It's nature,maybe it will be the internet,or his teachers or a friend but someone will take your place.
The most natural is a father teaching his son, the other should be secondary influences if they are primary it means the father died.

>don't heckin' try to make your child turn out like you
This is always some dumb cope losers spew. If you're successful at life, why NOT strive to make your child turn out like you? Humans aren't so special that they're entirely unique in every vector.

I'm going to embrace anything my kids will be into and foster their interests even if it's something gay and lame so we have plenty to learn from each other and discuss. In doing that I will also have ample opportunities to share my interests too including games.

These sorts of comics disappeared for a reason. That reason is that they stopped being able to explain why generation after generation was diving hardcore into games from the 90s over modern games, before later realizing it was a free pass to release the shittiest, most low effort re-releases on the planet.

When I was a kid I was happy when my father tried to get into games and played them a bit.
If he had been a nerd who played games and brought up some games he loved I'm sure I would have been really happy to try them out(like I did with movies and books).
Overall videogames seem like a very easy way to bond, obviously as long as you don't go full retard.

Kek lmao the usual single mother 1 child story that is so common in modern times.
The funniest shit is that now she is after beta bucks in their 30s, she is trying to date mid-ugly men with better jobs than her,when she talks about them she doesn't even seem to like them.

My niece is 4 and likes Mario due to the new movies + playing Mario World with my dad. When she's older I'll introduce her to vidya I like and we'll see if she's not too brainrotted due to non-stop tablet issue by then to like 'em.

I'm 36 and childless, so I'm sure I'll never have a kid. But if I did, they'd probably find Megaman and Punchout on their own. I'm sleeping with women whose kids look up to me because I can beat them at Mario Kart and Smash Bros, which is surprising because until a couple of years ago I didn't think kids were playing anything aside from streamer bait these days. I think there was a weird gap where kids only played streamer games, but they're now rediscovering good games on their own.

She enjoys spending time with me on my computer, drawing in Paint and listening to Mario soundtracks in the background. Her parents don't own any consoles or anything so her first real contact with games will probably be whatever I show her when she's 7 or 8. Like >>737123046 said it's pretty obvious if a kid is genuinely interested in something or not, my comment was about how her parents let her spend all day watching YouTube Kids slop videos and how I fear that is slowly but surely making her retarded. She knows what 6 7 is and I have no fucking clue where she got it from.

>>737121725
>implying I'll have kids
But my nephews seem to like old games. I think any kid who's actually interested in video games will start looking into old stuff after realizing there's more to gaming than fortnite and roblox.

>Modern movies are built around retards with no attention span and no critical thinking just people negotiating about weird set pieces and vibes they've grown attached to
>Modern games are dopamine farms based around gambling, cults, conditioning and rampant impulse purchases
Definitely not letting this shit through the gate without heavy curation.
All modern electronic devices are being sold and programmed by crack merchants and I wouldn't leave a child in a crack den more than once.

For me the most egregious was my father trying to force me to like soccer. I've never been into sportsball at all, not even as a kid
He never really accepted that I wasn't into sportsball and thought there was something wrong with me. He only gave up and capitulated around my mid teens.
>jankass cowboy flicks
>traveling to the middle of fucking nowhere to be eaten alive by bugs while you have nothing to do
This shit too.
At least I mostly shared his taste in music and movies (other than those boring old cowboy flicks), until I started enjoying and listening to anime songs and eurobeat kek

My cousin does this with his kids. Forces them to consume the media he grew up with and forcefully cuts off any other thing he doesn't like that they might want to watch. Granted, I sort've agree with some of it since he doesn't want his kids watching stuff like One Piece.

> it's unironically not too late, especially being a man.
True. I have uncles that are younger than me, because my grandfathers on both sides of the family remarried and kept having kids.
I think it sucks for the kids being raised by fathers old enough to be their granddads or even great-granddads, though.

I don't know why people act like this is a recent phenomena. It's only just recently become about media.
Your old man was a carpenter or blacksmith in 1890? Guess what you'll be doing for a career, boy. I hope you like golf, because dad loves it, and he needs a caddy.

the downside of doing this is that it alienates them from their peers and makes it harder for them to connect with kids their age when all they have to talk about is super mario sunshine, kid pix studio, and need for speed underground 2
the upside is that they won't be retarded brainrot zombies addicted to tablets and gambling by the age of 12
I'm aware that it's a natural thing about getting old but fuck me I feel like kids just don't have much variety now
at least with the majority of what I've been seeing
my old room was just filled with lego and knex and books and trains and my old yellow ass computer with lego island and lemmings and a ton of other dumb little offline games that weren't riddled with manipulative tricks to make you want skins
my lil nephew plays roblox and fortnite and cries when someone has a skin that he wants, I hope he grows up well-adjusted

If I have the chance to be blessed with a family of my own it'll go something like this:
>Early life : no broader internet access, give them access to library of select retro and modern titles, will buy new requested games if appropriate.
> Teens: social media & internet access, moderate parental control limits + blacklisted websites, access to any vidya in the library that is rated M or lower, friendslop and multiplayer social games (Roblox/Minecraft or whatever is popular) only accessible on the machine attached to the living room flatscreen, to try and prevent them from being groomed.
Ideally, I would rather they read physical books, but idk how one would encourage it without making it into a "read x to get thing" scenario.
>>
>>737127124
make them interested in reading and don't let them lose it. the main reason people lose interest in reading is due to being forced to do it in school, otherwise kids will gobble up books. read a few to them at bed time in the genres you think they might like (ex. the hobbit) and then just let their curiosity grow and show them a bookshelf and let them take their pick
>>
>>737121725
I wonder if the guy who made this trash would seethe at another comic where a parent ignores their child as they watch TikToks, play Roblox, and then start a stove fire making an omelet.
A parent is supposed to pass things down to their children. That doesn't mean they're supposed to be I AM SILLY man and scream whenever their kid doesn't have the exact same tastes as them. It does mean showing their kid movies or whatever they like and believe the kid will like.

No. I may run it by them but only for contrast. Sometimes they get hooked into it rather than modern iterations but sometimes not. As long as we aren't playing inappropriate stuff for their age then I really don't give a shit if it's modern or not.

Honestly probably won't have kids at this point since women's standards are impossible nowadays
They all want the 3 6's
6 figure salary
6 pack abs
6 feet or taller

I am not giving my kid access to whatever modern flavor of Elsagate fetish slop that is directed towards younger children at that point in time, they'd have access to *some* modern media so there's common ground with peers, by their later teens I'll likely have removed/reduced parental controls.
Genuinely doing anything less is a recipe for your kid being mindraped rn, I've seen it happen to family friends who had kids later in life.

I'm handsome, tall, rich, got abs and a big dick, but I'm an autist so cunts are immediately repulsed by my mere presence to the point they legitimately scream rape if I ever so slightly attempt to show interest in them
Every woman below 45 has been so hostile to me that I refuse to interact with them ever again beyond the absolute basic customs & courtesies in stores and restaurants
Old ladies are awesome doe, I love them and they recognize my value, I help them whenever I can

>>737129309
Unless you're hideously ugly/deformed, it's just a question of being able to hold a conversation and having things to talk about. If you are hideously ugly, abs won't fix that.
Put it this way, if, as you said
>I approached women all the time and kept getting rejected
do you think that would have changed if, under your shirt, you had abs?
>I think you're just fat and insecure kek
Strange projection. I already posted >>737127664 and almost none of the people I know have abs, they simply interact with others and socialize on a regular basis.

unironically, they find half of this stuff on their own. Mario and Star Wars are evergreen (the franchises broadly at least. Not necessarily certain entries).
I've had young family approach me and start talking about Pacman and Mario 64, and I'm like "how do you know what that is?".

No that's not what i said and i don't hate women either, what i meant to say is that exposure to peer pressure and social engineering can be harmful to oneself especially in ones developing years, think of the phrase if your friends jumped off a bridge would you too? Its really about thinking for yourself and not drinking tide pods or whatever is "hip" that year or at the moment
