Hide behind the mountain of dead bards!

My nephew has talked about how lucky some of his friends are because they get more robux from their parents than he does and how he wishes his parents would give him more "nice things" like that.

This is a kid who has been to disneyland multiple times and has gone on multiple cruises before he was a decade old. They have a big trip basically every summer, but he doesn't want any of that, he just wants more robux.

Gamer uncle of kids with non-gamer parents here.

I did what I could.

My niece's taste in games is impeccable. She's 13 and among her favorites are Hollow Knight, the Ori games, Inscryption, Cult of the Lamb, and of course big mass kids appeal games like Pokemon and Mario.

My nephew (9) is a lost cause. It's all Roblox and mobile child casino garbage and he doesn't have even the slightest interest in anything else. I'm pretty sure my partner and I are the only people in his life who have never given him Robux.

It's highlighting "me" as a keyword. The only language I can think of that uses that is Visual Basic.

Your example of giving a poor person money which they spend and circulate into their local economy is literally the opposite of "trickle down".

A distinction without a difference for the purposes of the conversation surrounding this insanity.

Both are illegal. Full stop. That's where the conversation needs to end when discussing whether or not someone should be prosecuted here.

The varying levels of severity aren't relevant at this stage.

Yeah, absolutely. There are plenty of RAW ways to allow a bbeg to monologue, at least to some degree.

Of course it's also entirely within the GM's power to just tell the players to let it happen, but it definitely feels better when there's some kind of in game reason why.

By the rules of the game you can't surprise someone who is aware of your presence, so you're correct.

That also means you don't automatically get to interrupt a monologue by blasting the bbeg in the face mid-sentence. You need to roll initiative to see if you are able to act before they can respond.

That all reeks of effort though.

But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby."

How does this make any sense at all? How does one "pass as even younger" but still somehow "look legal to passersby"? Those are directly conflicting concepts.

Alright, my bad, though you still haven't provided a link to any of these.

Also, from what I can see that 8645HS iGPU does not match a PS5 in performance and has exactly the same iGPU as the 8700G. It's not even close to a PS5's performance.
