The kid in story 1 is the shining example of an average sims player 😂
Okay that’s just normal 12 year old girl behavior in the sims though.
The first story is basically like when you give little girls dolls and some will have tea parties and others will decapitate the Barbie’s French Revolution style
To tell your 19-YEAR-OLD girlfriend as a 26-YEAR-OLD MAN that her relationship with her fictional husband in a game is inappropriate is CRAZY WORK
53:05 Wait, you're telling me that the 24 year old that started dating a 17 year old is controlling? Never would have guessed.
8:30 the biggest threat to kids in gaming are the excessive micro transactions and loot boxes. It’s a form of gambling
As a woman who grew up playing with polly pocket and barbie, what the daughter is doing in the first story would happen anyway lol. Kids are wild.
“she’s been fostering an innapropriate relationship in the game.” man you’ve been fostering an inappropriate relationship IN REAL LIFE.
24:43 THIS IS THE REAL LIFE "OH, YOU LIKE [THIS BAND]? NAME THREE OF THEIR SONGS" OH MY GOD 🤣
Video Ends. Shayne: sprints to his car, drives home to play Hades 2.
