My kids don’t like to watch cartoons or movie explicitly made for kids. What are some good movies targeted toward adults that kids can watch?

Jump

  • The only thing my mind could come up with that isn't animated would be The Ring. I personally have the original Japanese version, so I have no clue how good or bad the western version is, though.

  • I still have mine against the side because of space issues. I like my open space, especially since I have lived in a couple of rooms where having the bed against the wall gave me extra floor space to move around.

    But to answer the question, various things have definitely made me feel it. Though I'm definitely gonna say the stereotypical "All Kids Are Annoying" as my answer. Definitely how I've felt for years, despite not even being that old.

    I was recently on a public bus that ended up stopping at a stop by the local museum and because of a youth ride free program, what looked like a whole class of elementary school kids got on the bus. They were loud and annoying and wouldn't shut up. Thankfully I had my headphones so I could listen to music to try and ignore them to the best of my abilities. 0/10, would not recommend.

    Similar things happen when I get in around the time highschool gets out, but at least the teens have the ability to shut up and use their inside voices on a public bus. So they at least get a pass for not being super loud and obnoxious.

    • What did you do as a child that would be considered dangerous today?

    Jump

  • I don't remember what it was, but it certainly wasn't a firecracker. I don't know where exactly my parents used to get them, but they used to get illegal fireworks (illegal in our state) by crossing over state lines, if I remember correctly. Neither me nor my parents remember what he set off, but it definitely wasn't something wimpy like a firecracker.

    Edit:

    We lived in an area where you had more strict rulings on what is a legal firework to have and shoot off, so we definitely had some stuff that was definitely quite a bit stronger than what we could get in state.

    • What did you do as a child that would be considered dangerous today?

    Jump

  • Dangerous then and especially now, but my oldest brother lit off a firework in our backyard, right near or around when school was getting out. We lived a couple blocks away from an elementary school. It was loud enough that the school thought someone was shooting.

    This was mid-late 2000s. I imagine if he did it today, the police would have absolutely arrested him without a second thought.

    • The Kids Are Leaning Right: How the Manosphere Is Shaping Voters

  • I vote for counter propaganda feeding them that right leaning people are all child predators or will become one. Make them demonized the same way they demonize the left.

    • Steam does what Nintendoes and Nintendon't

    Jump

  • Talking about being able to play gamecube games on switch 2 as though Dolphin doesn't exist... or rather they wish it didn't.

    • What are some of the craziest censorship instances on TV shows you have seen?

    Jump

  • That's definitely one I remember.

    • Microsoft starts testing Copilot Vision update that can “see” your screen and apps

    Jump

  • I was gonna make a joke about writing how anybody reading a notepad message has to be one of the survivors of a nuclear fallout in the 1960s, but I think yours are better, in a more twisted way... assuming they don't get autoflagged and auto-cencorsed.

    • Chinese people and China enjoyers, what movies/series/cartoons from China would you absolutely recommend?

    Jump

  • The one thing that has really kept me far away from the 3D animated Nezha movies is how, to me, Nezha looks like an ugly gremlin. I personally enjoy their look in the Legend of Hei movie and the 非人哉 (fei ren zai/non-human) web comic/donghua so more.

    • We Can Now Get Steam Deck Buttons Made Out Of Stone

    Jump

  • ...resin buttons with real bugs inside...

    You completely lost me there. Don't come looking or I will torch the place with a lighter.

    As an avid bug hater (creepy crawlies are not for me, ever), I would never use something like that. The metal and stone buttons? Yeah, maybe, depending on price, but definitely not the bug resin buttons.

    • How do you go about finding specific items when it's prohibited to even ask?

    Jump

  • I guarantee the large corpos would send their death squads after you the nanosecond they find your location. Worst that results is them saying they have no involvement and moving on with zero repercussions, from a legal standpoint.

    • “It Wouldn’t Be Surprising If, in Two Years’ Time, There Was a Film Made Completely Through AI”: Says Hayao Miyazaki’s Own Son

    Jump

  • Coming from the man who was responsible for Earwig and the Witch ( アーヤと魔女 ), this means little. The man who was responsible for arguably one of the absolute worst Ghibli films trying to tell us that in a couple years we'll have a full-on AI film. Don't make me laugh.

    • Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake

    Jump

  • Saw a video on this earlier and it really makes me think we're absolutely nowhere near an AI being able to generate a full-on or even a partially playable video game in real time any time soon, much to the dismay of the tech/AI bros.

    Also, they talk about making old games portable as though you can't just boot up a game like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger on an emulator like PCSX2 or Dolphin on a device like a Steam Deck anything similar, all without needing powerful enough systems to run a whole extremely in depth simulation of our universe.

    • Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

    Jump

  • Absolutely a fun way to play Hitman. Definitely makes the game so much more fun, especially if you are playing on a crowded map and are trying to take out every single person possible without dying on harder difficulties.

    We don't need stealth where we're going!

    Jump

  • Not AkatsukiLevi, but probably just finish the enemy waves/bases as fast as possible, followed by tearing everything down and rebuilding for maximum efficiency since you can always leave and come back without ever having to worry about enemies after clearing a level*.

    *assuming there isn't a feature where enemies can respawn and retake levels that I haven't reached far enough to find exists

  • If I can get it working, I will absolutely use debug mode on pokemon fan games because it saves me time not to have to do things like going back for healing my party, grinding to a certain level defeating bosses I'm not supposed to using cheated in legendaries, etcetera.

    Definitely not developer intended, nor am I sure this would count for an intended answer to the question. Otherwise, I cannot think of any other answers to this question.

    • Every generation has their thing, I suppose.

    Jump

  • Depends on the arena. The one in my area, absolutely zero chance of them ever being that cool.

    Also, I wouldn't skip the alcohol. How else would I have had a couple full bottles of sake on my 21st if I had skipped it?

    • 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

    Jump

  • The way I see the root kit anticheat situation is that because Valve has their own Linux based OS, these companies making anticheat are probably going to end up tailoring it to whatever kernel Valve (or whatever the biggest/most widely used distro made by a large game corporation) uses to ensure people aren't cheating.

    With a kernel that can be swapped out for another with varying degrees of difficulty, why wouldn't they just tailor their work to whatever the biggest corporate game company supporter of Linux is using? If SteamOS (or any other distro made by maybe someone like EA, heaven forbid) ends up becoming what these anticheat devs see as the defacto Linux distro for gaming, I guarantee they'll probably just focus all their efforts on making sure SteamOS (or whatever it ends up being) works as best they can and hanging out everyone else to dry.

    A real "Wanna run the latest CoD (or something similar) on your device? Make sure you use the kernel we say you have to use!" kinda situation is what I foresee happening.

    There's also an OpenBSD song with a few lines of lyrics that I think could sum up what could (and sadly most likely will) happen, in metaphorical Odyssey kind of way:

    Corporate monsters, many closing passages\ Tempting harpies\ 13 years of treachery

    Though it's definitely going to be more than 13 years.

  • ...all the IT savvy folks are switching people over...

    Totally feels strange because my dad's laptop doesn't have the TPM requirement and he was telling me about how he was talking to the IT guy at his work about possibly switching to Linux just so he can keep his laptop. No clue if he's gonna have me or ask if Mr. IT can do it, though, if he follows through. Absolutely insane because I might not be the only person in my house using it anymore (android not included because I view it as a completely separate entity).

    I was telling him that day that I could flash Mint (have the most recent addition on my laptop) to a thumb drive if he was actually wanting to switch over. He's definitely an average computer user, so nothing too special, but it still feels real weird.

    Though this will also suck for a while because the tech savvy people helping them switch over will also be running IT for these people who have never used Linux before and most likely have never even used windows CMD either. Cannot wait for stories of people being fed up because their parent/aunt/uncle/friend/whoever looked up how to fix their device and entered the cursed rf command without thinking once about it.
