  • You’re right. Words like “I” are gender neutral.

    For that reason, speaking in the third person like Bot is doing doesn’t make sense to me (as a trans person myself). I can’t think of any motive for someone to want others to constantly refer to them in the third person… Except for one, but it’s controversial in some communities haha.

    Looking at Bot’s comment history, they only decided to speak in the third person today, while the rest of their account’s comments are written normally. Do with that information what you will.

    OldSchool RuneScape restored my faith in the industry. RuneScape was ruined by microtransactions, but Jagex grew an enormous pair of balls and released an older version of the game and started fresh without any of the bullshit.

    To this day it’s my favorite RPG. I could write a truly ridiculous amount about why I love it, but I recommend just playing it for yourself.

    Bloons Tower Defense 5/6 are great for kids. They do have microtransactions but they don’t nag you to buy anything, and everything is easily obtainable just by playing. Also, nothing that you can buy is “content.”

    If you’re able/willing to download ROMs and emulators, the first handful of generations of Pokemon games are great for touchscreen/mobile. My favorite was always Pokemon Emerald (GBA) but you can easily emulate all the games up to about X2/Y2 (DS) on any modern Android device. (I use “MyBoy!” for the GBA games, but PokeMMO is good for combining both the DS and GBA games into more of a mobile game experience rather than an emulator experience, if that makes sense. Everything is just easier, and probably a lot more accessible for a primary school kid.)

    It’s also worth noting that girls like a lot of the same kinds of games boys like. 🤷‍♀️ Just give her as many good options as you can find and let her decide what she finds fun. Me and my sister had a blast playing CoD Zombies on our aunt’s tablet when we were kids.



  • There are so many fun glitches you can learn in that game. I highly recommend trying some, it’s a blast. Some easy ones:

    Power crouch stabs - Link’s crouch stab has no damage value, so it ends up using the value of your previous move (regardless of if it did damage to anything). The deku stick’s jump-slash does massive damage, so if you take one out and jump slash the air, you can then spam crouch stabs to do massive damage very quickly. It will one-shot almost any common enemy, and can defeat bosses in less cycles than should be possible. Ghoma can be defeated in 1 cycle by doing this.

    Infinite sword glitch - If you interrupt Link’s crouch stab, the game will fail to turn off the sword’s hurtbox and will do damage every frame while Link holds it. You can interrupt a crouch stab with pretty much anything Link can interact with, like reading signs, picking up a bomb, or talking to Navi. And you can apply the deku stick jump slash damage to this glitch for even more damage.

    Leaving the forest early - There’s several ways to do it, but the easiest way is to walk against the wall to the right of the Kokiri kid and get as close as possible while facing away from him. If you crouch stab the wall to push yourself into him and press A to talk to him during the brief moment you’re inside of him, Link can pass through… But he will still block you from the opposite side, so to get the rest of the way out you have to roll under the kid while he’s falling from the high end of the passage wall.
