Gen Alpha – Social Life Guide

We all know about video games- Roblox, Fornite and games like that. And as a Generation Alpha, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to avoid them. They shorten attention spans and disrupt conversation skills. I will tell you my story, what happened, and give you my perspective. These are all my opinions, so please no hate comments.

Roblox Guide

Almost all my friends play it and they usually babble about it a lot. That made me feel excluded because I didn’t have the game. I asked my parents for the game, but used it irresponsibly. It got taken away from me and I never saw the home screen again. I was very sad about it, but my parents taught me things and it made me proud I left it.

When I went to school, it was hard telling them that I didn’t have Roblox. If you, the reader relate to this, DON’T GET YOUR CHILD ROBLOX. Now, it’s up to you but I really recommend not. I bet your kid will come running up to you asking, “Can I have Roblox? Please? All my friends are playing it I and want to stay connected with them!” It’s better if they don’t get it because then their friends will turn into zombies of the digital world and your kid won’t!

There are inappropriate games on there such as “Public Bathroom Simulator” and don’t even get me started on “Brookhaven”. Even with the restricted age limit, your child can still have access to those games. Instead of giving them Roblox, give them one hour screen time one weekdays and two hours on weekends. Because there will be no Roblox, they will go onto other games. But give them a Nintendo with the game Minecraft.

This blog isn’t at all on Minecraft and you can read my other article about it, but I just want to advise you. Minecraft is like Roblox but more moderated, less weird and more creative. It has endless possibilities, and it’s more healthy for your child. I’m not your consultant, do what you want to do. I’m just warning you…

Fortnite Guide

I’ve never played Fortnite before, but I have an idea of what you should do. If your kid is less than thirteen, don’t get them Fortnite. They will be exposed to harmful violence on it and it’s better to wait until when they’re more mature. 

One of my friends plays it and his dad is in the military, so I don’t even know what’s going on in his brain. He says things like, “If you hit me, I’ll get my dad to hunt you down and snipe you.” I know he can’t be for real but that is a bit concerning.

Another example is this one boy that is so annoying. He also grinds on Fortnite and I asked him if he would shoot people during an argument. Guess what he said. “I would maybe, in America.” That is really wrong and he should not be saying those things.

Just wait until your kids get older so they can tolerate it better. Same goes for other shooter games like Call of Duty.

Conclusion

Anyways, here’s all my advice in a summary.

1. Don’t get your child any violent shooter games if under recommended age limit

2.  Don’t get Roblox for your kid

3. Don’t get any questionable games (such as High on Life)

So that’s it for this article. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this blog. I will try to respond. Thanks for reading and have a good day!

My Journey of Minecraft

I’ve been playing Minecraft for around three years now. I first started the game when I was six and I graduated kindergarten. As a reward, I was given the Nintendo Switch Lite.

We went to Best Buy to purchase three game cards of my choice. I chose Animal Crossing, Minecraft and Super Smash Bros. That’s where my love for Minecraft began.

Before I went to sleep, I would always dream about creating a house in Minecraft. Oak plank stairs, topped off with a long stretch of oak fence as guardrails. But I couldn’t make that thought a reality though.

But I finally had the power…

… TO DO EVERYTHING I WANTED!

World after world, I built and I built. Homes for Allays (Minecraft mobs), secret bases and underwater homes! I was playing at the time when update 1.19 came out.

The idea of the deep dark scared me and I stayed away as far as possible. But the dumbest thing I would ever be afraid of is the ground. Even in creative mode.

I am not joking.

I would always make sky bases and I would only touch the floor if I needed to construct something down there. One time, I fell from one of my masterpieces.

I was in the jungle biome and I landed on a piece of bamboo. Not even close to the ground. The shadow, casted from my build made a never ending darkness. I freaked out and logged out.

As I grew older, my builds became better and more sophisticated. And also, my fear of the ground was being cured slowly. For you guys to see one of my builds, I’ll post a photo down below.



If you notice, there is no ladder leading to the ground. Because I was scared. All I would do is snipe mobs day and night. Very boring.

But then I moved on from Minecraft…

…SIKE!

I came back to it and started building a frenzy. This period I call the Early Modern Era. I built my first full on city, designed to be a server. The name is- well, I didn’t name it. It was a snowy village.



But this was just the beginning. If you think this is good wait until you see the photo in a couple of paragraphs.

But anyways, I spent a lot of time on it. I built a lighthouse as you can see, and a whole ton of stores. It was magnificent.

I showed it to my friends and one of them said it should be on one of those MrBeast “One Dollar Versus One Million Minecraft Builds”.
But he should’ve taken those words back after I cooked up my next project- Bellview City.

It started with one small bank in the middle of a flat world. I didn’t know what it would become.

I started expanding the area around the bank. I added an ice cream shop and a scammer call center. Don’t know why. I shortly added a house and a small warehouse after. That’s just the start.

Weeks after weeks, my city grew in great size. Shops and restaurant bordered the never ending roads. A highway was constructed. I added a Pokémon center and another house. But I never forgot to add easter eggs (secret things).

I put secret tunnels and bases underground and inside of walls. There are now a lot of them and think how fun it would be to play tag in this marvelous city. Finally, the photo.

But I also started playing Minecraft on a computer in addition my Nintendo Switch. I log into my Microsoft account to play the Java Edition. I would play on servers like Hypixel. My parents also booked me Minecraft classes online where I could play online with other children.

At first it was hard for me to use WASD (the keyboard controls) but I eventually got the hang of it. But something that pissed me off was how difficult it was to speed bridge. I had to press left shift and position my player to face the block I’m building from.

So that’s it for this article. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this blog. I will try to respond. Thanks for reading and have a good day!
