Never thought I would say this in the age of screen time parenting. Realized tonight that I much prefer my kids playing video games together in the same room than them playing ANY game online. It is actually social in a way no online game can possibly be.

1000% playing n64 with friends in the same physical room is unmatched in fun by online options

I did exactly that with my kids. If they play together it is the same as playing a board game. Lots of Communal interaction.

Was just talking to my son about this. My friends would all go to the house of the kid who had the best new game on Super Nintendo and take turns playing each other while everyone else watched and cheered.

I’ve had so much valuable time just hanging out with my kids while playing games. A lifeline when they’ve gone through tough times.

I completely agree with this (although yes, it does feel strange to say) — I vastly prefer that my kids play games with no online component. Otherwise I’m configuring heavily to prevent strangers/randoms able to chat/connect before my kids are even allowed to start.
