Do you have kids who like playing or watching Minecraft? Or... do you?

My youngest son has been making YT videos of some various bits of Minecraft he likes to talk about. I've recently been working with him on moving to using Peertube as a primary platform, so he opened his Peertube channel this weekend.

I'm hoping that he will be able to drum up some interest in order to try and have some fun all ages or kids stuff showing up in the video part of the fediverse!

How old is he? I haven't introduced my 6-year old son to Minecraft yet. Watching the first few minutes of the latest Peertube video I can see that I've missed a couple updates since I played myself about 10 years ago.

Je ne comprends pas.

I wrote the awkward turn of phrase "since I played myself about 10 years ago" which is reminiscent of Khaled's "Congratulations, you played yourself" meme.

I am going to use the excuse that my synapses are on vacation due to our long weekend here. ?

He's 11. I only ever barely touched on Minecraft in it's early days myself, and I see the same thing - much more developed beast than it was years ago.

When he wants me to play, I spend a lot of time asking "How do I get this thing I need?" "How do I make that thing?" heh

@Adam I played Minetest with my K2 some years ago - planed a castle on paper, to realize it in Minetest.
And this days I found an marvolus "Adventskalender" on Mintest-Server "Minetestbildungsnetzwerk...". Really great Buildings, and much more.

Thanks for that, I'll mention it to him as well - I've tried a few times to get him interested in Minetest, but the "craft" has won out over time here.

@Adam I love Minecraft. I'm 40 in less than a month and love this game. I used to play a lot alone and with friends. Minecraft is a nice game for children. It's like Lego. You can build so many things ! You can even learn logic, basic electronic and such things ! A friend of mine who studies and teach gaming in general (from board games to video games) uses Minecraft as an example in his courses.

Oh it's definitely quite a game + game system. I'm not much of a gamer and minecraft really hasn't ever been my style, but I've seen some of the things that can be done in it and it's pretty impressive. I wouldn't try to suggest the game is just for kids - but I know lots are in to it and I know one kid really well who loves it.

I'm apparently mostly geared toward games with 'rocket' in the title... years ago I played a fair bit of Rocket Arena in Unreal Tournament. Lately, the only game I've spent any real time in is Rocket League. Best description I've seen of it recently: "Soccer cars vroom"
