Eine Frage an #eltern
An alle die #games spielen und sich damit auskennen.
Mein Sohn ist fast 12 und möchte call of duty spielen.
Aber er hat #ADHS
Er darf #Minecraft und #Fortnite spielen, Handy hat er nicht.
Ich gebe ihm schon kein Handy, in der #Schule wird er immer wieder nach einem Handy gefragt.
Der Druck für #kids ist echt groß aber mit dem adhs muss er aufpassen und er tut mir immer leid das ich ihm alles verbiete.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to all of you around the #Fediverse today!
Let's start with our usual #MorningMoments and discuss what the day has in store for us or what you've already accomplished for the day.
I've already put in about 2 hours into Lego Fortnite and will do some more a bit later. Now though, it's work stuff as usual and then video games this evening with friends,
I'm not sure if this is my first ranked Victory Royale in #fortnite, but it certainly is since I got into diamond. It is definitely the first time I got the "There's no time" accolade for winning without reloading a single time (I didn't shoot at anyone at all till the top ten, and then took weapons from the two people I did kill).
Good morning and happy Wednesday to the #Fediverse today!
It's a new day, so let's all discuss what the day has in store for each of us.
For me, it's just the usual work stuff. It's super busy today and will be for the next several days due to us releasing Nova 8.0.16 to the stable channel with a 30% staged roll out. Lots of emails coming in.
Fortnite with friends tonight and not much else beyond that.
Cześć! Jestem najzwyklejszym użytkownikiem Mastodona. Na wszystkich swoich komputerach używam #Linux i pluję na #Windows. Umiem trochę Javy, którą ostatnio zaniedbuję na rzecz Rusta. Gram w #Minecraft, #Fortnite i #Warframe i #Cyberpunk 2077. Nie jestem neurotypowy, więc często zachowuję się dziwnie i nie łapię sarkazmów czy przenośni. Używam głównie oprogramowania #FOSS i selfhostuję swoje usługi, bo jestem paranoikiem prywatności. Siedzę trochę w #cybersec. To chyba tyle o mnie :blobcathearthug:
Doomscrolling further into the depths of hell! Wonder if we'll finish #DOOM Episode 3 tonight. Also, going to doing a #Fortnite collab with @CentakuMedia and @RealTrueBella later tonight
> Amid a recruitment struggle, branches are using huge hits like #Fortnite as #marketing tools. Some veterans see the practice as unethical – especially given the age of the #gaming audience
I got exasperated last night playing #fortnite duos. I eliminated one person, but was knocked down by their teammate in a fish lady skin who had #Chewbacca with her. My friend finally arrives, and despite me telling him to shoot the fish lady, he starts to fire at Chewbacca instead, and the other player quickly shoots him and eliminates us.
I was all like "Why were you shooting Chewbacca? I told you not to shoot Chewbacca", and he actually said "I couldn't tell which one was Chewbacca."
It takes a special lack of game sense not to be able to tell these two #fortnite characters/skins apart, even in the heat of battle, but my friend managed to do it.
