What do you want? Do you want to see more posts/comments?

Beehaw is, specifically, curated for those who want high quality rather than a dumpster fire of trolls and assholes.

So, quality vs quantity.

I've expressed this many many times to him over the years. I've said something like "I want to play games to have fun. If the game isn't fun for me, then I will not play it anymore".

I believe that he understands this. However, he just wanted so much to understand Elden Ring and beat it.

Personally, Elden Ring is NOT fun to play and that's why I don't play it.

I'm just astounded that my 8-10 year old son persevered so much to beat it.

I grew up hearing all the talking heads (media), religious groups and parents strongly criticizing video games. You've, probably, heard some of this. For example, video games involving any type of violence causing people to become more violent, etc. As far as I know, the academic community has failed to produce any negative relationship between video games and real life.

At the age of 8 my son began playing Elden Ring with me. We were both new to Souls-like games. I, quickly, became disheartened by the difficulty of Elden Ring and stopped playing altogether. On the other hand, my son continued to play Elden Ring. He had several meltdowns, over the next two years, trying so desperately to advance in this game. One of his most recent meltdowns was so traumatic for him, that he smashed the PS5 controller into our brand new TV screen which caused a square inch of it to be irreparably damaged. He was punished severely for doing this.

Two weeks later, he continued his quest to overcome Elden Ring. I remember hearing him say to himself, his mother and brother "I am not going to give up until I beat this game".

Three weeks, and many more meltdowns later, my 10 year old son beat Elden Ring. I remember hearing him scream "YES! YES! FINALLY!".

I ran into the room and found him sobbing with tears of joy. I hugged and congratulated him. I ran outside to tell his older brother and he ran in to congratulate him. His mother was overjoyed with his accomplishment.

For someone so young to persevere, spending over 300 hours, trying to overcome a tough game like Elden Ring is a huge accomplishment.

I am so proud of my son to have learned such a valuable lesson, on his own, at such a young age.

You could reach out for help if you were running into problems. AskBeehaw would be an example for inquires. Also, there's nothing preventing anyone from asking for technical support at Beehaw's technology community which has the largest viewership on Beehaw.

It's not necessarily something that I 'love explaining to others'. However, academic biblical scholarship has been an interest and endeavor of mine for about thirty years. Luckily and thankfully, I've found my self in the center of this unique niche of interested parties with /r/AcademicBiblical and /r/AskBibleScholars.

Think about this for a moment. The biblical texts have had the most influence on western society, and arguably all other societies, for hundreds of years.

Wouldn't you want to know what these texts are saying?

They aren't saying what you think they are saying.

If you've had no experience with these texts, then you have many years of reading ahead of you.

It is incredibly daunting to know how little most people do not know about this subject. And, at the same time, shape our world based on misinterpretations and/or misunderstandings of this vast library of literature.

All of that needed to be said. Thank you.

I've been using Beeper with a Discord bridge for three years now. No problems.

Absolutely. My unsolicited advice is to proceed with caution. I was there, many years ago, when the Internet changed from University access to a flood of the public. It has become known as the 'Eternal September'.

From most person's experience, during that transition, we all knew each other in real life. There wasn't anonymity.

And, all of a sudden, there was anonymity. Thus, people could just say anything that they wanted without consequences.

Fast forward to now, and it's a complete shit show. Where do we turn?

We've (the admins) already decided on the platform we will be moving to and it will make use of ActivityPub. We haven't made a public announcement yet. That is coming soon.
