This has nothing to do with FOSS and, therefore, is being removed.

A personal argument for a benefit of gaming

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...

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.

You have made a mountain out of a molehill. Neither of my two sons have ever experienced trauma.

Go through and read the other comments in this thread. Has anyone else raised alarm bells? The answer is no.

Please, don't make accusations here at Beehaw. It isn't nice.

'Traumatic' just means emotionally distressing. He was disappointed. He wasn't harmed.

Care to elaborate?

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.

I believe most people in this thread are missing your point in which I agree.

U.S. government blasts Microsoft for lax security measures in report on Chinese hacks ( www.dhs.gov )

That's interesting and I've never heard of the focus feature (I don't use my phone very much). Where do I find the focus feature?
