“Hm?”
Ah, and there’s the boy, looking around the game stores, and… well well! A recommendation? Now that’s not something he’s asked as himself! He has to think for a moment…
Judging by her appearance… well… She looks to be about her 30s, so the kids must just be recently born, right?
“If I may ask, how is your child like, Miss? Just because something is popular doesn’t guarantee they’ll like it. But ah, Pokemon is usually the safest way to go, there’s a new one which just came out not long ago. There’s also a multiplayer where you can trade between friends… S-Sorry, you are familiar with Pokemon, right?”
She most likely is, given how extremely popular it is, but doesn’t hurt to ask!
“But if you like something with thinking skills, maybe something like Among Us, where you can play either the detectives or the killers? It’s a very popular game too! If your child likes shooting games, you can always download Fortnite, which doesn’t require a console! Or… if you are able to configure parental controls in your phone so your child doesn’t buy anything, Genshin Impact is another good one, which is an exploring game…- A-Am I confusing you?”
MARIO KART IS THE EVIL GAME.
It’s not a small amount of information to take in, but Eve listens intently to the boy. Pokemon, she’s familiar with, though perhaps not intimately... and the others, the names sound familiar, so that checks out.
“No, no, I’m following... mostly, I think. And I do know of Pokemon; I played one of the first games... but my kids both seem to enjoy the newer ones as well.”
“...I’d sort of like to be able to play with them once in a while, but I wouldn’t want them to think I’m trying to intrude on their hobbies. They’re 14, so... about at the age where it’s, uh, ‘uncool’ to play games with their parents, apparently.” Mom problems... “T-That said, your suggestions sound like they’re worth looking into. The shooting game you mentioned isn’t too bloody, is it?”
