mayhap, but m$ and sorny spent millions developing controllers so they win in that dept.

yeah and the 360 controller worked better than the xbox one controller

i mean, i use them both daily side by side in testing and the xbone one needs to be reset manually resynched battery pulled power cord pulled plugged and unplugged repeatedly while the 360 one just works

didn't they spend some ridiculous amount of money to very slightly redesign the xbone controller?

yes and they ended up with a computer controller that has its own like computer in it and requires firmware updates and poo poo, and still sucks

e: i mean some goons may get excited over that, "Yay firmware updates, i get to janitor something!" but i swear the old style worked just fine without any intelligence

prolly a 3DS or maybe an ipad that has parental lock on so they cant download apps freely and limit safari from it so they can only use the educational-entertainment apps of your choice,

however, attempting to filter a kid's internet access is a good way to get them to learn computers better on their own so in a way i support it

yeah but now that excellent child is now this excellent adult and my son shows no interest in the operating system itself (all we had) rather than minecraft. its just i want him to look up recipes for it himself

i guess i could sit there while he did that... would you have enjoyed your dad watch you do everything


he's only 6. he's not trying to subvert the process, he doesnt yet know why he would want to

im writing this and he's beside me. he shows no interest whatsoever in what im writing or doing on the computer, thank christ he doesnt love them (just minecraft)

at 6 all he should want is the games working

it'll be a few years before he wants to see what makes it work?

eh mod packs and poo poo are big, my freiends kid is 7 and he is all about that kind of poo poo and the recipes n poo poo are online


i only wanna teach him to navigate a web page or two. i dont expect him to navigate the filesystem to install mod packs or poo poo


perhaps i am paranoid that rotten.com is only 2 clicks away from minecraft.wikia
