yes there is a warning but still no guide, not in the popup, nor in the association setup to tell what things mean

i'd probably pick MiniMetro and simple rythm games like ADOFAI or Rythm Doctor to begin with, simple shapes and an obvious thing to learn to do.

MineTest (has android ver.) and StuntRally are pretty close to reach if you're willing to be patient and teach them to explore an open space on their own or of their own (one is basically a sandbox engine like Garry's Mod, the other has a map editor alongside the several open maps). takes a while to understand the UI of each but it's possible to use.

Celeste is notoriously difficult regardless of age, as a platformer about climbing a mountain, but i'm sure they can grasp it (no pun intended).

non-game programs are also an option. i remember having my mom teach me to use MSPowerPoint which made me break and build a ton of things later on by the time i was 7, it was a mess, but i made that mess :3
try an art program like Pencil2D, Krita or InkScape, maybe something unrelated like LibreOffice Impress or KDE Marble, or a music program like MilkyTracker (has android ver.) and take your time to teach them to make a tune or a flipbook or navigate a map, i'm sure they'll have fun with something like it too.

the indie space still has a ton of stuff. you lose the benefit of always having accessibility features and easy ui navigation depending on the game (although a ton of indie games have better modding and accessibility support than a lot of high budget games as of recently, just in case they come to be interested), but you still get to see a ton of different stuff.

  • Celeste
  • OneShot
  • Rythm Doctor
  • Terraria (has android ver.)
  • A Dance Of Fire And Ice (has android ver.)
  • MiniMetro (has android ver.)
  • ShatteredPixelDungeon (has android ver.)
  • StuntRally
  • Mindustry (has android ver.)
  • HyperRogue (has android ver.)
  • SuperMeatBoy
  • Don't Starve
  • Undertale/Deltarune (have unofficial android ver.)
  • Sky Rogue
  • SuperTuxKart (has android ver.)

most of these without coming close to Nintendo's approach to fan works, so i'd say you're not going to lose much if you know the right places.

if you want games for Android, Mitch is a third-party access to itch.io, a game store where you can by the game and get the game straight into a zip file or what-have-you. no DRM, no questions asked. about half the games i mentioned are in there without the predatory behavior most of the time.

in my opinion, the key here is that asking "why?" is going to be the most important skill you can teach your kids early on. "because yes" or "because not" or "because i told so" is never a good answer, and learning to ask what moving parts there are to anything can and will open up a lot of options for things they will learn later on.

may as well be a culture shock that the idea of restricting food access to people is in any way appealing to you at all.

[-] Wilker 1 points 2 years ago

pretty sure the labor of validating all the applications, surveyling who does and does not get the food, and pushing for the othering of people who have applications as well as those who doesn't but still get the food, is gonna cost more than the actual food, being mostly transportation, cooking and cleaning.

[-] Wilker 1 points 2 years ago

i smell double bind. say nothing and the food is taken away, with parents being forced to spit up more money for food. say something and rich people will be sad, which means no money added to pay for food, which will be used to justify taking away the food anyway.

what's your solution then? you may not need the government to pay for your kids' food, but there are people who still needs it. you gotta feed people somehow and be careful not to fall into ableist policy (e.g only people who quote unquote, "works hard", gets the food).

a grossly oversimplied suggestion i would have is 10% of the income, starting from a 10 million USD/month income, up 15 percentual points for each order of magnitude, so 25% if someone gets 100m/mo, 55% if 10b/mo, 70% if 100b/mo etc.

assuming all these people properly pays accurately, that would be about enough to feed people in and out of school.

i feel like i'm missing your point considering the comment that was made.

do you know any ways to filter the playlist so that only songs with BY-SA shows up?
