I could tell you what my parents are like to show you that things could be worse, but my misery is pretty well documented around here and I can't be bothered to repeat myself. Suffice to say that if you've not died yet, you're doing better than me.
Parents... sigh

well you are right there, if you remove the faq that she hate games she is darn the most kind person in the world, almost to kind sometimes for her own best.
Some parents really don't understand gaming at all. One of my best friends was barred from playing Final Fantasy because it was 'too violent'. Hence why he got Barbie Horse Adventures off me for his birthday
Mind I can kinda see what his mother was getting at given that he kinda had difficulty discerning between game and reality. Such as when he saw the moon through a smoke plume from a fire at the chemical factory. By looking at the moon through that smoke, the moon looked blood red. He somehow got it into his head that the Lunar Cry was in fact real and he's been scared of the moon ever since. I am perfectly serious. So I guess that might have been responsible for the 'no Final Fantasy rule', which kinda makes sense.
I'm trying to remember why I was friends with this person when he clearly suffered from paranoid delusional psychosis...

I have a friend that thinks she's Piper from Charmed...She thinks her name is Piper, she thinks she lives in San Francisco, she also believes that her aunt's name is the same name from the "aunt" in the episode where they tried to bring a demon to life by making him a body of quilted human flesh so the demon would make them young again. Yeah she's weird and this girl should not be RPing. I also met someone in an X-Men RP that thought he really was a mutant from X-Men. Yeah there are some people out there that need some help...
My mother plays the family's Wii and even the PS3, but only the casual games (and ones she has to actually pick out herself without having the thought of looking at reviews so we have a cluster of crappy [usually show-based] Wii games growing in the entertainment center and gathering dust). She's somewhat disgusted by my other games (such as the God of War series, the Shin Megami Tensei series [she's extremely religious and hates all that demon stuff, calling me twisted and Hell-spawn whenever she sees me playing the games in my room =.=], and even Fire Emblem and Super Smash Bros.).
Thankfully we can get her to have fun playing LittleBig Planet with the rest of us (even my dad likes to play games but he calls me twisted too =.=).

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
