Sticky fingers all over the monitor, your controller has teeth marks, your disc for the rpg you were playing has been taken out and just left sitting on the floor, for some reason your old 3ds is there, suspicious stain on your pillow. Absolutely not.
Fuck no.
I got a pc but if any of my family members touch it they’ll meet grandma realllll fucking quick
It doesn’t work
I actually let my neighbour’s girls play. They always ask politely, the only thing I let them play is Astro’s Playroom and they want me to watch so if they are stuck I help them.
The kids can watch as I play 😂
“servers are down”
My sister’s kids are good kids. They have consoles themselves and know how to treat things with care. They can absolutely play on my consoles.
My stepsister’s kids are little nightmare spawns and if they’re even in the same city as me my consoles are going up on the attic for safe keeping.
those eyes say “over my dead body” but his mouth will say because the mom is looking “yeah yeah sure”
I have a nintendo switch and I beg for one day someone asks me this
That’s why I disconnect a few cables here and there before such gatherings, and tell them it’s broken
We have a console in the lounge for the kids to play that visit. We have our PS5 set up in our room and hide the switches when they come over – there are just some things that are sacred.
🤣
The more sophisticated your words are when explaining the problem, the higher the probability of being trusted
Honest question, how do you react to this politely ?
I’d definitely say no but how do you do that without having your whole family being mad at you?
With good supervision, sure?
Hell yeah! Come check all the games I have!
If they ask nicely and tell me what all are all the parts inside in a ps5 and how to troubleshoot a blue screen.
All of my potions were used. I gave up on terraria after that.
Yes absolutely. And in fact I have before. Most kids aren’t licking controllers or punching holes through your TV lmao. Based on my experience, load up a few nonsense games and just let them go to town. Oh and use a guest profile of course, make sure your main profile has the security code so they don’t fux with your saves.
Spider-Man is always an easy hit.
Yea, one year I was out of town for a convention when a hurricane hit some family. They came to our house for safety and everything and took my room since I wasn’t home. I wasn’t comfortable with that since I had a lot of expensive stuff in my room and collectibles, but understood they had nowhere to go, so I relented as long as they made sure to keep my stuff safe from their children. I get home, they leave, I see that they opened all of my funkos (I only had 3 but they were sentimental and one was climbing in price) opened and scratched all of my DVDs, and had ruined one of my Magic: The Gathering decks by ripping up the cards. Needless to say I was livid because now I had to replace almost everything I told them to leave alone and that wasn’t cheap. (Except the funkos, I just kept them open)
“It’s not for kids “
This is why you keep something indestructible like an N64 or game cube to keep them entertained
Why does he have a shirt on with the writing “not for sale” on it?? Holy shit!!
Ah hell no! That’s a golden rule 😉
*Yes, with me.*
Not for sale
lmao what, dude got ‘ not for sale ‘written on his shirt 😂
We had family over once when i was a teenager. I was also the only one in the house with a TV that had an usb port. After the cake got served the guests wanted to watch some vacation pics, however they were only available on a usb stick. They coerced me into accepting that everyone goes into my room and watches the slideshow even if i very adamantly declined. They threatened to just go up and bring my tv down to the living room and they „couldnt guarantee that it will not be damaged.
So now there were 20 people with cake in my room. They trash the whole room with plates, forks etc. and afterwards my aunt even had the audacity to complain about how dirty my room is. To be clear, it was tidy because my mom always made me clean the room when family comes over, there were a few socks laying around and 1 empty bottle on my desk. I never was more furious.
The “not for sale” caption on his shirt is perfect 😀
Just sit there and play with them
Ps5? Why would you like to play with my PS2? Oh, okay, I guess you can play with my blue ink pens. Okay sure, here are some rocks but please go play outside okay?
does Mad Catz still exist? yes they can use the ps5, with the Mad Catz set of controllers
Hide the thing and if anyone asks, you sent it in for repairs. Or just tell the asker what the price tag is and make them pay you a damage deposit
Big fat Noooo
literally wtf is wrong with that dude, I let my younger brother play my ps5 all the time. It has no games and the ones it does have aren’t particularly fun, so I’m glad to get use out of it. You’re denying those kids an opportunity to make childhood memories and missing an opportunity to garner favour with them.
I’d love to share my games with the kids but I’d be watching the entire time still
No but they can play on my old ps4
Is that t shirt from the new Godard line? Looks awesome.
Edit: I meant Basquiat ffs
