Less demanding Switch games work fine. The Retroid Pocket 5 would have better performance and there are videos on youtube with game demonstrations to see performance.
Lemmy is fragmented and I don't know if posts get visitbility across communities. It seems Lemmy.world gets more engagement and that should be the primary place to post. It's a shame that cross posts don't bring everyone to the same commenting area to engage with each other.
PSP had so many great games. I've got China Town Wars, Rock Band, Wipeout Pure, Patapon, Mercury Meltdown, Final Fantasy Tactics......and really wish I had the time to get to all of these.
But anything that helps you understand your brain and personal issues better will also help with parenting. So also try:
The Happiness Lab
Hidden Brain
School of Life (YouTube channel)
People online tend to recommend therapy to everyone,and I'm sure therapy is great if you can access it. But you can read, listen, watch, learn and improve through self reflection....and heal wounds you never knew about.
The thing I'm really missing is finding a good dad group or parent group to join. I would love some peer support.
I'm good with my parents. They have their normal human flaws, which I accept happily.
Are you a parent yourself? It's really difficult. You can't help but bring a lot of baggage. There's a podcast I lesten to, to improve parenting that runs a workshop called "taming your triggers". Having children exposes a lot of wounds and personal baggage. It's really difficult to recognise and address those on yourself as a parent. Your description of expectations from a parent are so idealised, I would argue that there are very few individuals in the world who are actually successful in being that good and selfless.
I've gotten this feeling back recently when I started playing Fragpunk. I would highly recommend it. The unranked PvP modes are chaotic, fast paced and have tons of action with crazy ability cards you can add. It's been a great change from the sweaty FPS gaming that's so universal now.
I'd like to thank Apex for banning Linux, otherwise I would have never bothered looking for Fragpunk.
I would also like to thank Marvel Rivals for being an unbalanced hell and forcing my hand to ditch it. It got tiresome having a team full of people who don't bother staying together or coordinating, who run into the line of fire one by one. In Fragpunk unranked games I don't have to care at all what the team is doing. Like old CoD lobbies or Team Fortress 2 lobbies, in Fragpunk you can just go out there and have fun and look at the scoreboard at the end to see what other people did.
Let him try to aim for it..... As long as he doesn't neglect his education and other opportunities then there's no harm in giving him some years to figure this out himself the hard way.
There's no point? There is a point: To protect the rich and powerful. The patent system is serving its purpose here as intended by the people who have been making these rules.
Excellent choice. I did the same last year. I'm still on Tumbleweed.
