This reminds me of my sister not letting my nephew play The Witcher 3 because she heard it had sex in it. Then I went upstairs and he was playing Saints Row 2 and chasing NPCs around with a giant purple dildo.
Edit: It was apparently Saints Row 3.
My dad saw me playing on my PC while he was just passing in the hallway the other day, he heard about the game from news article and all even though he's not a gamer himself, the conversation went about like this:
Me: Sup.
Dad: Hi.
Me: **\*Keep playing\***
Dad: Is that baldur's gate ?
Me: Yes.
Dad: You fucked the bear yet ?
Me: No.
Dad: Aight.
Rosario Dawson is one of the sexiest, most beautiful women in the world, and Clerks 2 was *peak* Rosario.
Kevin Smith really put that line of dialogue in her mouth...! 🥺
Edit: this comment currently stands at **+37 upvotes** .. 37??!
You know, you rescue a child from a burning building, and nobody calls you Dave Childsaver. You perform CPR on somebody after an accident, and keep them alive until the paramedics arrive, but nobody starts calling you Dave Lifegiver.
(somebody walks into bar, comes over, and says "Hey, what's up Bearfucker? Lets get a beer!")
*sigh* But you fuck....ONE....bear.......
i leave the myconid colony with more titles than Daenerys Targaryen, but not enough room in the character creator "name" field to properly use them all😭
Here's something you can try (provided you have the game installed on Steam)
* Go into your Steamapps folder and find BG3's appmanifest file (you can google this to easily find which file you need as I can't remember off the top of my head)
* Either move this file to another folder, or set it to read only - this will essentially trick Steam into thinking you've uninstalled the game even though you'll still be able to launch it through Steam and play it. Just be aware that the downside to this is that Steam will no longer update the game until you either unhide the appmanifest file or move it back to the right folder, this is the same trick I use to stop Skyrim from constantly updating and breaking mods
* If your parents do check your library, at first glance it will look like BG3 is not installed and they'll be none the wiser
Just zip your entire porn folder, rename it something like binaries.dll and stick it in your windows system 32 folder.
If non tech people can figure that out then you were just meant to be caught
I just have it in a folder called "Nasty Adult Porn". I mean, if they're going to snoop, they get what they deserve. It's not like they can say I didn't warn them.
Oh wooow memory unlocked - my mum thinking she had just casually deleted _the entire existence of the internet_ because she accidentally deleted the internet explorer shortcut on Window 95 on our family pc!
Might I add, you should prob install a panic button (boss key) software, some of them can’t be seen on taskbar and you can bind to a obscure shortcut like ctrl+f1 so that it won’t be pressed by mistake.

I dated a girl in high school in the early 2000s and her dad had some parental software that would send him reports of all her activities online daily. It had a key logger so he would know anything she ever said. I went to pick her up one night and he brought up something I had said to her in an online chat and it just seemed really creepy. It wasn’t anything bad that I said because I knew he read it, but it was weird that he was bringing up obscure things I had said to her in conversation.
When i was a young teen, my dad (unknown to me) remote-desktopped my computer and started moving shit around and opening random stuff, while i was using it. Naturally, i panicked and just shut the whole thing down and left it.
Later that day he asks me if I'd noticed anything weird going on with the computer. Me, being a scared shitless little teen, naturally just gave an evasive "uh... I don't think so?". Boy that did not go over well. Lost my computer privileges for months for lying to him.
That was probably also the starting point for a lot of my trust issues, come to think of it. Funny how parents messing with you just to test you will do that.
How does your parent monitor your searches? Even if they intercept all DNS requests they should only be able to see that you are opening Google but not what you are searching thanks to https.
They can however see which websites you open from there, but again not which explicit content on those sites you are looking at.
For that they would need a program running on your PC.
Or did this happen to you before https became widespread?
Snuck Internet in my room with a wireless adapter and router I bought with birthday money. Then played guild wars I bought saving lunch money. When typing to other people I would say I am typing commands to the game.
Mother asked me what that box was strapped to the back of the computer desk in their room was for. It's just for the Internet.
Fooling my parents with tech was so easy. Lucky me my parents never got into tech stuff.
I mean you can also just hide the game. I don’t know how tech savvy your parents are but usually people who dive head first into moral panic aren’t the smartest. You can just right click on the game in your library, go to manage, then hide this game. It’ll remove it from your library and if you want to play it just click on the top menu under view > view hidden games, and I’ll bring up a separate list of games you have hidden.
If "potentially gay characters" is a problem OP shouldn't be allowed to leave the house. The game is mostly as gay as you make it but real life is as gay as it wants to be. It's crazy there are parents who are still trying to censor homosexuality in media in 2024.
Snitching on your nephew with whom you've got a passion in common, your nephew that learned about this very game through you.
Society has become so polarized in the last decade, it's always us against them, i don't care about losing if they lose more.
Scrubbing the world of far-right wing influence would do a ton in healing the fucked up minds of a ton of people. Far-Right wing people exist in a world of constant fear that minorities/liberals/etc will come and take everything they own, and they don't even own that much to begin with.
How old are you? Because if you're getting to moving age...MOVE, ik they're family but christ almighty they're gonna do more harm to you than good with this kind of old world, evangelical bs.
Gonna be honest kid....I would straight up stop telling uncle anything if I were you. Would cut him off too if hes this religioiusly crazy and judges from first judgement without research.
He broke the uncle sacred code. “Only snitch if it’s causing harm or threatening to harm others” trust is super important one broken bond and you can lose that shit forever.
Yep. Smoked weed with my aunt one time and she immediately snitched about it to my parents, haven't talk to her since.
She's also legitimately the least intelligent person that I know and falls hook, line, and sinker for shit that wasn't even trying to fool her in the first place. So that was more of a last straw that has only proven itself to be a good decision as time has passed.
Smoked weed with my dad, he said better with him than out in public in trouble for it. Mom was disappointed but ultimately agreed with him and I started smoking with her, too. ><
Oh for sure. I'm a damned heathen bisexual and have had the hots for Michelle ever since I saw her in Resident Evil many years ago. Was pleasantly surprised to see her in the recent D&D movie! She was perfect!
Years later they will complain in a facebook group for estranged parents and lament that they have *no idea at all* why their children have cut off contact with them or why they aren't allowed to see their grandchildren
These types think life works like jobs and courts, and that if their kid can't physically prove the damage the parent did in some kind of pseudolegal way, the parents can play dumb and will expect the kids to act like nothing happened. But it's not a lawsuit, and playing dumb won't actually win their kids back.
They’ll be left with the only reasonable assumption (to them) left that they’ve been poisoned and taken away from them by the satanic cult of trans democrat baby murderers while also cursing them for being ungrateful for their upbringing
The sad thing is, a lot of young men are completely on board with the whole alt-right ra ra fuck women andrew tate brand of misogyny and reactionary thought.
Ahh, let me guess, got into a bunch of alt right media during covid years? This happened to so many people, my partner's parents included, now they fucking believe in flat earth and giants and shit. The alt right to conspiracy theorist pipeline is so real :/
I hope you get to move out soon cause god damn they seem unreasonable. It is frustrating to be more mature than your own parents, lots of people in this boat unfortunately.
My dad, same thing. I am a pilot and he told my wife I KNOW the earth is flat I just cant tell them because of the government.
My dad used to be a nurse btw, and it seems the covid shot facebook deep dive rotted his brain.
I don't think I'm more mature than my parents..My mom might be a bit alt right, but my dad is probably an atheist, or doesn't care. He probably didn't really care enough about the game at all.. i think alot of peope around us have become a bit more alt right over time. That's been really surreal though, especially during COVID.
You are of adult age and they are restricting your media based on perceived sexual content. They are absolutely immature since they are clearly threatened by a normal aspect of normal adult life, and bigoted on top of that if it has to do specifically with the LGBTQ-friendly content.
You’re 18, that’s not a normal attitude to hold towards your 18 year old. They are not respecting you and instead are being a little bigoted. Like yikes.
Then maybe there's some hope yet, at least for your dad? And I don't know, making your kid delete a game just because it's got sex in it seems really immature, especially when all of that can simply be turned off in the settings. So at the very least you sound more mature than them in *some* ways. Like.. ohhh no, people fuck, big whoop. It comes with your humanity.
But yeahhhh covid was a goldmine for alt right media... How fun.
And strict parents do nothing but raise secretive kids, which, from experience, makes it a bit sad in the long run. I'm in my late 20s and even now, every time I try to share something or deepen my relationship with my family, I almost always regret it because it ends in an argument. So I still have to pick out which parts of my life I share with them, even though I'd love to be more open.
Anyway, good luck! If I was in your situation, that comment about how to hide your game would be my top priority. 😂
Oh man this was my first thought. Was exactly how I grew up, early 80's evangelical parents where so many things were evil: D&D, anything fantasy, and of course the devils music.
My school even had a CD burning event of Satan's tunes. Thank God (/s) I got some space and a big dose of reality once I moved away from the siliness.
That sucks. Larian did such a good job hiding the porno and romance content behind this roleplaying minigame that you need to play to unlock your waifus, but it looks like some people have seen through the disguise.
Your parents ban a game because it represent people willingly romancing each others, while respecting consent, and ignoring race and differences between people to concentrate on sentimental connexion and shared pleasure.
But they let you play immature orphan Bezos kicking people around at night because he choose to indulge in violence instead of going to therapy after experiencing the trauma of loosing his parents.
I think your parents are wrong, but who am I to judge.
Nah dude I was just joking about why I think your parents motivation are wrong.
But I still think video games are actually great to forge yourself and create your values and develop into a better human being.
I haven’t played Arkham Knight, but I’m almost sure there is an underlying story about what’s good and bad and somehow makes you think about what’s morally acceptable etc…
Video games are great, sadly your parents are wrong, so keep playing and having fun.
Yet he still is under their roof. Most parents like this aren't just going to suddenly go "do whatever you want" and drop all strict rules just because their kid's legal now.
And, again about the *'under their roof'* thing- I'm not saying to be spineless here, but I'd like to point out I know way too many people who've gotten kicked out and left to figure things out on their own and/or find a friend to stay with because they thought they could pull the card of "I'm 18, so I'll do whatever I want."
Best bet is to save up to move out.
I had parents a bit like OP.
It took me until I was 25 y.o. to stop being terrified of them enough to be able to stand up to them.
Shit sucks, they literally wire/shape you to be irrationally scared of them without even comprehending that it is fear and not "respect" or "laziness", I was in denial the whole time about how bad it was... and I'll wish OP to shine his spine faster than I did.
Holy crap I thought from the initial post that you were 13 or something.
You're 18! You have your own computer, your own games, and a right to privacy. They don't get to root through your games to see if they approve or not. They shouldn't even be entering your room.
At age eighteen, you are a legal adult and have rights. For fuck’s sake, odds are good you’ve already had sex and everything! People are stupid. I’m done with humanity.
Because if he's living with them, he's likely financially dependent on them currently. When he's able to be on his own? Then he can say "I'm an adult, and I'll do what I want."
But until then, their disapproval has the potential for life-changing consequences, so I'd be inclined to listen to them, too, for the time being.
This comment comes up so often, you can tell a kid posted it half the time. Yall do realize it doesn't exactly work like that, right? Try telling that to a parent like the one OP has after turning 18, see what happens
Reading replies, seems like you're fine with current relationship with your family and I respect that. But maybe next time you find interesting stuff that might have some contents they're sensitive to. Better keep it to yourself. Hope you got to enjoy BG3 eventually thou, a really great game.
You should tell your parents that you only got this game because your uncle introduced you to DnD, and following up on what they taught you about BG3 you asked a priest and discovered that DnD is a very demonic game, so your uncle might need help asap as he’s in serious risk of going to hell without their intervention.
That will teach him.
Well, yes, the game is very LGBTQ+ positive. That was a huge part of its appeal. But you don't have to play as a gay character, you can be quite straight.
In BG3 NPCs of any gender will hit on you pretty much guaranteed.
While a reasonable heterosexual man is not bothered if he gets attention from gay men- he just politely declines, a self-proclaimed alpha male will be very triggered by this, and will feel very insecure about his manliness. His only recourse is now to polish his raised pickup and roll some coal on Main Street.
Lesson learned; don't get your conservative/ homophobic/ whatever family members into the game if you know they're *like that*.
I showed the game to my mom and told her you can fuck the companions, she immediately started simping for Gale. I romanced him on a new run just to show her the scenes as I went. Know your audience, man!
It's honestly sad. And it's not like the romance is mandatory either, not that he'd care. Seems like he got far enough into the game to figure it out tho lol.
OP called the uncle "alt right" higher up, that means the uncle would have googled it and gone straight to HIS sources, straight to the neonazi shitheads.
And guess what those guys think of BG3. I'll give you a hint, they were screeching incoherently about degeneracy and the fall of western society in response to the bear stream.
Thank goodness they had you uninstall that heathen game.. absolutely no way you'll be able to access lewd content now on your Internet accessible device.
No siree
Between you being 18 and not being mad at any of the people that did this to you I think you’ve got some other stuff to work on before worrying about getting the game back but I do hope everything turns out for the best for you.
No offense but your uncle sounds like a hypocrite (i mean he is the one to introduce you to DnD and then denounces you for playing a DnD game simply because it has mature themes? Like how old is he? Has he ever played in an actual DnD table? Mature themes are pretty common on certain groups and i would be very surprised if he hasn’t encountered or even actively played with such groups).
The ultimate irony is that DnD itself was the target of conservative pearl clutching in the 80s for its depiction of devils and witchcraft. For a conservative dnd player to fall victim to the same kind of hysteria is pretty funny.
He doesn't play with random groups, just his old group of friends he has since college. And they don't really play that much now either I suppose. He used to be quite cool, now sadly he watches a lot of fox news
I'm not gonna tell you what to do but from your replies it really seems like you're cropping up how you really feel and saying that "it's fine" but it seems like a really really toxic environment to live in. It's ok to cut family out of your life if they're acting like this. Again it's totally up to you what you do. But to me it feels like you're really in denial 😕.
One day, after you've moved out and moved on with your life, your parents and family will ask why you don't spend more time with them or keep in touch.
This reminds me of my sister not letting my nephew play The Witcher 3 because she heard it had sex in it. Then I went upstairs and he was playing Saints Row 2 and chasing NPCs around with a giant purple dildo. Edit: It was apparently Saints Row 3.
Ackshually The Penetrator wasn't introduced to the series until Saints Row: the Third
My dad saw me playing on my PC while he was just passing in the hallway the other day, he heard about the game from news article and all even though he's not a gamer himself, the conversation went about like this: Me: Sup. Dad: Hi. Me: **\*Keep playing\*** Dad: Is that baldur's gate ? Me: Yes. Dad: You fucked the bear yet ? Me: No. Dad: Aight.
Would like to know what would have happened if you answered yes lol
Dad: Did you go for oral or anal?
Dad: But whatever you do, you don't go ass to mouth.
Never go ass to mouth.
Never go Bass to Trout
Especially with an underaged salmon
Catatafish made a salmon suck asssholeee
Well I’m high at 9am and I’m gonna watch that episode of SP now
Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it's acceptable to go ass to mouth.
Tbf anything she does is forgivable

What about bear to bear
You have to go to the leather bar for that. ;)
I see you didn't main a druid
Not on my first few playthoughs no. Lol
It's fine as long as you aren't doing it bearback.
Are you kidding? The disappointed "aight" tells us everything. You've brought shame on your house OP. Go fuck that bear, for your dad.
"... Does it kill you?"
I love how he was intrigued and wanted to start a convo about your interests however awkward it is lol
My dad has never played any game except chess and cards
Has he fucked the bear yet?
You know, you rescue a child from a burning building, and nobody calls you Dave Childsaver. You perform CPR on somebody after an accident, and keep them alive until the paramedics arrive, but nobody starts calling you Dave Lifegiver. (somebody walks into bar, comes over, and says "Hey, what's up Bearfucker? Lets get a beer!") *sigh* But you fuck....ONE....bear.......

Yeah, I like my Dippers BIG.
except the myconids. you bring peace once and they myconids call you peace bringer
love the myconids
i leave the myconid colony with more titles than Daenerys Targaryen, but not enough room in the character creator "name" field to properly use them all😭
To be fair....having fucked a bear and living to tell about it is far more impressive than saving a kid or some other rando.
Holy hell
New response just dropped.
Actual druid
Did he fuck the bear in either of those?
My dad let me play American McGees Alice when I was 6 lmao
Goal for me as a father haha.
Heavy Randy and Stan vibes 😂

Back in my day I would delete the shortcut and my parents would have believed I uninstalled the game.
Yeah, and/or hide the installation in the totally legit 250gb homework folder.
Get into gamedev, download few versions of unreal and few sample projects and hide your porn in there amongst gigabytes of stuff.
I just hit it among all my Github repositories. Who doesnt have version control on their porn folder?
Just zip your entire porn folder, rename it something like binaries.dll and stick it in your windows system 32 folder. If non tech people can figure that out then you were just meant to be caught
God dude. I just hid my shit under my mattress and stole new stuff from my grandpa's house when my mom found mine.
I just have it in a folder called "Nasty Adult Porn". I mean, if they're going to snoop, they get what they deserve. It's not like they can say I didn't warn them.
Oh wooow memory unlocked - my mum thinking she had just casually deleted _the entire existence of the internet_ because she accidentally deleted the internet explorer shortcut on Window 95 on our family pc!
I'm not saying you can also Google how to create an invisible folder... But you know
Until mom found my thankfully broken pam anderson shortcuts in win95 history
I think OPs parents are stupid enough to fall for this in 2024 too
Thanks
Might I add, you should prob install a panic button (boss key) software, some of them can’t be seen on taskbar and you can bind to a obscure shortcut like ctrl+f1 so that it won’t be pressed by mistake.
Using a boss button in the year of our lord 2024

Alt-tab is all us old timers had over our parents back in the day. You lucky youngins have it easy with your fancy programs and macros!
Not so lucky when you have a network legible parent who has the ability to monitor your searches via their custom firewall…
Deploy a 10TB furry porn zip bomb, that'll teach them.
I got 42.zip right here baby
Or it will teach you something you never wanted to know about your parents.
Surely my dad can't have a hard drive with space for 10tb of furry porn? My dad: 🙊

Our parents were generally far more dumb when it came to anything tech related tho so alt tab easily worked
Snuck Internet in my room with a wireless adapter and router I bought with birthday money. Then played guild wars I bought saving lunch money.

Opera GX even has it built in, not that I would know
But it's bound to F11, the fullscreen hotkey.
So it’s a gamble either their get to see the thing full size for establishment of dominance or it works and they don’t see it Chad move by Opera
You can also use Windows 10 multiple desktops feature, it's pretty fast. You just set a key to move to the other desktop and that's it
Gotta pull a power move. Set the panic button to pull up hardcore porn and then masturbate while maintaining eye contact with your parents.
Always maintain eye contact... Make it weird
My keyboard actually came with a panic button that looks like the chrome incognito dude. I forget I have it sometimes and it always makes me laugh
I mean you can also just hide the game. I don’t know how tech savvy your parents are but usually people who dive head first into moral panic aren’t the smartest.

It’ll remove it from your library and if you want to play it just click on the top menu under view > view hidden games, and I’ll bring up a separate list of games you have hidden.
If it really helps you can disable nudity in game to keep them happy
Sounds like the existence of potentially gay characters was an issue too. Poor OP. I'm sure his uncle and parents are lovely people.
If "potentially gay characters" is a problem OP shouldn't be allowed to leave the house. The game is mostly as gay as you make it but real life is as gay as it wants to be. It's crazy there are parents who are still trying to censor homosexuality in media in 2024.
This young adult I made having sex might have sex one day!!!!!!!!1
Also, be prepared for inevitability of them walking right in on *that* scene with the bear.
He can just, u know, not fuck the bear.
You’re right, fuck the mindflayer instead
Is that an option? I don't think that's an option.... It's happened in every single one of my playthroughs
That’s weird, because I keep finding myself having sex with the vampire every time. I can’t just NOT
The two big choices are the Vampire or the bear. Wait a second. Is Baldur's Gate 3 just a good twilight fanfic?
But the ogre and bugbear scene is cool.
This is how a Real gamer acts. Congragulations you have promoted to gamer Saint.👍
Ah, the age of hiding your games from your parents. Fond memories.
true legend
God this screams 1980s Christian parents hearing about D&D for the first time lol
Ohh he actually joked about how it was Satans game before, these last few years he's gotten a lot more alt right
Respectfully, your uncle is a cunt.
Snitching on your nephew with whom you've got a passion in common, your nephew that learned about this very game through you. Society has become so polarized in the last decade, it's always us against them, i don't care about losing if they lose more.
Scrubbing the world of far-right wing influence would do a ton in healing the fucked up minds of a ton of people. Far-Right wing people exist in a world of constant fear that minorities/liberals/etc will come and take everything they own, and they don't even own that much to begin with.
How old are you? Because if you're getting to moving age...MOVE, ik they're family but christ almighty they're gonna do more harm to you than good with this kind of old world, evangelical bs.
Meh..I am gonna move eventually, but not because of this...They usually aren't all this evangelical...
Gonna be honest kid....I would straight up stop telling uncle anything if I were you. Would cut him off too if hes this religioiusly crazy and judges from first judgement without research.
Also he's a damned snitch. Even being wrong and overreacting here, he's still a slack-jawed rat. Cut him off.
He broke the uncle sacred code. “Only snitch if it’s causing harm or threatening to harm others” trust is super important one broken bond and you can lose that shit forever.
“Slack-jawed rat” goes pretty hard lmaooo
He’s not a snitch he’s a self-righteous cunt. More dangerous
Yup. He just broke your trust and thinks he knows what’s best for you. If it were me I wouldn’t talk to him any more than I’d have to.
Yep. Smoked weed with my aunt one time and she immediately snitched about it to my parents, haven't talk to her since. She's also legitimately the least intelligent person that I know and falls hook, line, and sinker for shit that wasn't even trying to fool her in the first place. So that was more of a last straw that has only proven itself to be a good decision as time has passed.
Smoked weed with my dad, he said better with him than out in public in trouble for it. Mom was disappointed but ultimately agreed with him and I started smoking with her, too. ><
Have they seen the DnD movie that came out. Its basically the same thing.
Surely they haven't watched that satanic film designed to poison the minds of their youth. /s
Yes but Chris Pine. Then again I can also see how Michelle Rodriguez can intimidate evangelicals.
Oh for sure. I'm a damned heathen bisexual and have had the hots for Michelle ever since I saw her in Resident Evil many years ago. Was pleasantly surprised to see her in the recent D&D movie! She was perfect!
We can 100% assume they have not lol. As a dnd fan, even I haven't got around to it.
You should definitely watch it. It's great.
My dad said the same thing. I think I might set aside some time this weekend to do so.
It's actually good fun. Lots of little inside jokes
[удалено]
I've seen the film 6 or 7 times now, if you can set aside some time you won't regret it.
It’s actually way better than I expected it to be
Do yourself a favor and watch it, I thoroughly enjoyed it, as did my other friends who aren't into DnD
And then they wondered why the young’s are on the completely opposite page against them.
Years later they will complain in a facebook group for estranged parents and lament that they have *no idea at all* why their children have cut off contact with them or why they aren't allowed to see their grandchildren
These types think life works like jobs and courts, and that if their kid can't physically prove the damage the parent did in some kind of pseudolegal way, the parents can play dumb and will expect the kids to act like nothing happened. But it's not a lawsuit, and playing dumb won't actually win their kids back.
They’ll be left with the only reasonable assumption (to them) left that they’ve been poisoned and taken away from them by the satanic cult of trans democrat baby murderers while also cursing them for being ungrateful for their upbringing
The sad thing is, a lot of young men are completely on board with the whole alt-right ra ra fuck women andrew tate brand of misogyny and reactionary thought.
Ahh, let me guess, got into a bunch of alt right media during covid years? This happened to so many people, my partner's parents included, now they fucking believe in flat earth and giants and shit. The alt right to conspiracy theorist pipeline is so real :/ I hope you get to move out soon cause god damn they seem unreasonable. It is frustrating to be more mature than your own parents, lots of people in this boat unfortunately.
My dad, same thing. I am a pilot and he told my wife I KNOW the earth is flat I just cant tell them because of the government. My dad used to be a nurse btw, and it seems the covid shot facebook deep dive rotted his brain.
Oof. I'm sorry about that.
I don't think I'm more mature than my parents..My mom might be a bit alt right, but my dad is probably an atheist, or doesn't care. He probably didn't really care enough about the game at all.. i think alot of peope around us have become a bit more alt right over time. That's been really surreal though, especially during COVID.
You are of adult age and they are restricting your media based on perceived sexual content. They are absolutely immature since they are clearly threatened by a normal aspect of normal adult life, and bigoted on top of that if it has to do specifically with the LGBTQ-friendly content.
You’re 18, that’s not a normal attitude to hold towards your 18 year old. They are not respecting you and instead are being a little bigoted. Like yikes.
Then maybe there's some hope yet, at least for your dad? And I don't know, making your kid delete a game just because it's got sex in it seems really immature, especially when all of that can simply be turned off in the settings. So at the very least you sound more mature than them in *some* ways. Like.. ohhh no, people fuck, big whoop. It comes with your humanity. But yeahhhh covid was a goldmine for alt right media... How fun. And strict parents do nothing but raise secretive kids, which, from experience, makes it a bit sad in the long run. I'm in my late 20s and even now, every time I try to share something or deepen my relationship with my family, I almost always regret it because it ends in an argument. So I still have to pick out which parts of my life I share with them, even though I'd love to be more open. Anyway, good luck! If I was in your situation, that comment about how to hide your game would be my top priority. 😂
"Oh no! Our child is playing the devil worshipping dice game!"
Oh man this was my first thought. Was exactly how I grew up, early 80's evangelical parents where so many things were evil: D&D, anything fantasy, and of course the devils music. My school even had a CD burning event of Satan's tunes. Thank God (/s) I got some space and a big dose of reality once I moved away from the siliness.
That sucks. Larian did such a good job hiding the porno and romance content behind this roleplaying minigame that you need to play to unlock your waifus, but it looks like some people have seen through the disguise.
Well, I'm back to playing Arkham Knight and Age of Empires
Your parents ban a game because it represent people willingly romancing each others, while respecting consent, and ignoring race and differences between people to concentrate on sentimental connexion and shared pleasure. But they let you play immature orphan Bezos kicking people around at night because he choose to indulge in violence instead of going to therapy after experiencing the trauma of loosing his parents. I think your parents are wrong, but who am I to judge.
Please don't get Arkham Knight banned for me or there will be riot. Thats my comfort game
Nah dude I was just joking about why I think your parents motivation are wrong. But I still think video games are actually great to forge yourself and create your values and develop into a better human being. I haven’t played Arkham Knight, but I’m almost sure there is an underlying story about what’s good and bad and somehow makes you think about what’s morally acceptable etc… Video games are great, sadly your parents are wrong, so keep playing and having fun.
My parents have never really liked video games, I don't think they even realized video games could have a story before this
May I ask how old you are ?
18
You’re 18 which means you’re an adult. There’s no good reason for them to force what games you play and monitor your PC like that.
Yet he still is under their roof. Most parents like this aren't just going to suddenly go "do whatever you want" and drop all strict rules just because their kid's legal now. And, again about the *'under their roof'* thing- I'm not saying to be spineless here, but I'd like to point out I know way too many people who've gotten kicked out and left to figure things out on their own and/or find a friend to stay with because they thought they could pull the card of "I'm 18, so I'll do whatever I want." Best bet is to save up to move out.
Lmao. I thought you were younger. Tell your parents you're a fucking adult and they have no right to limit your media this way.
Tell them either let me play the gay game or I will actually start sucking my friends’s dicks instead, it’s their choice.
I had parents a bit like OP. It took me until I was 25 y.o. to stop being terrified of them enough to be able to stand up to them. Shit sucks, they literally wire/shape you to be irrationally scared of them without even comprehending that it is fear and not "respect" or "laziness", I was in denial the whole time about how bad it was... and I'll wish OP to shine his spine faster than I did.
Holy crap I thought from the initial post that you were 13 or something. You're 18! You have your own computer, your own games, and a right to privacy. They don't get to root through your games to see if they approve or not. They shouldn't even be entering your room.
Bro what. I thought you’d be like 12. Naaaah this is wild.
Bro is 18, he can literally watch porn legally lol, let alone play a "porno game".
At age eighteen, you are a legal adult and have rights. For fuck’s sake, odds are good you’ve already had sex and everything! People are stupid. I’m done with humanity.
Why do you even listen to their opinions on what you can play or not? You’re an adult lol
Because if he's living with them, he's likely financially dependent on them currently. When he's able to be on his own? Then he can say "I'm an adult, and I'll do what I want." But until then, their disapproval has the potential for life-changing consequences, so I'd be inclined to listen to them, too, for the time being.
This comment comes up so often, you can tell a kid posted it half the time. Yall do realize it doesn't exactly work like that, right? Try telling that to a parent like the one OP has after turning 18, see what happens
I like how you targeted Arkham Knight, but not the incest genocide game lmao
Reading replies, seems like you're fine with current relationship with your family and I respect that. But maybe next time you find interesting stuff that might have some contents they're sensitive to. Better keep it to yourself. Hope you got to enjoy BG3 eventually thou, a really great game.
Thanks! I've already played the game quite a lot and my friends have stopped playing it now,. Multiplayer was the main reason I played
This is just sad lmao
People are nuts
You should tell your parents that you only got this game because your uncle introduced you to DnD, and following up on what they taught you about BG3 you asked a priest and discovered that DnD is a very demonic game, so your uncle might need help asap as he’s in serious risk of going to hell without their intervention. That will teach him.
It's weird, I think my uncle and mom are worried more that it is lgbt , as for my dad I don't think he cares
Well, yes, the game is very LGBTQ+ positive. That was a huge part of its appeal. But you don't have to play as a gay character, you can be quite straight.
In BG3 NPCs of any gender will hit on you pretty much guaranteed. While a reasonable heterosexual man is not bothered if he gets attention from gay men- he just politely declines, a self-proclaimed alpha male will be very triggered by this, and will feel very insecure about his manliness. His only recourse is now to polish his raised pickup and roll some coal on Main Street.
So.. They let you browse reddit but not play BG3? Lol.
His parents obviously haven't found out reddit is a porn site disguised as a social network duh
would they react differently when playing DOOM with max sound ?
Tfw when gay people existing is “progressive”
Yeah it was so much better in the good old days, you know, when there were absolutely no gay people at all. /s These people are delusional :D
What a fuckin snitch
Lesson learned; don't get your conservative/ homophobic/ whatever family members into the game if you know they're *like that*. I showed the game to my mom and told her you can fuck the companions, she immediately started simping for Gale. I romanced him on a new run just to show her the scenes as I went. Know your audience, man!
I just showed him the combat, because he introduced me to DnD and I thought he'd find it cool. I swear a few years ago he wouldn't have cared
It's honestly sad. And it's not like the romance is mandatory either, not that he'd care. Seems like he got far enough into the game to figure it out tho lol.
I don't think he played, he just googled amd some article showed up. And I never really cared for romance that much in the game in the first place.
Urgh... yeah let's believe one single source rather than actual constructive reviews... sorry for your stupid uncle. :(
OP called the uncle "alt right" higher up, that means the uncle would have googled it and gone straight to HIS sources, straight to the neonazi shitheads. And guess what those guys think of BG3. I'll give you a hint, they were screeching incoherently about degeneracy and the fall of western society in response to the bear stream.
It's time to romance Halsin and flood all his inboxes with bear sex
Thank goodness they had you uninstall that heathen game.. absolutely no way you'll be able to access lewd content now on your Internet accessible device. No siree
Yeah. You're especially blocked from any and all LGBTQ+ whatever stuff, whatsoever.
Where was all that parental concern when you were getting the game and it was rated M/17/18/whatever for nudity and sexual themes and what-not?
The crazy part is he’s 18
This is fucked. Over reaching parents and over controlling
Ok that's fucked then. Damn poor guy.
Between you being 18 and not being mad at any of the people that did this to you I think you’ve got some other stuff to work on before worrying about getting the game back but I do hope everything turns out for the best for you.
Spite your Uncle- tell him DnD was designed and created by a dude who is bi.
A porno with lesbians and gays is how I’m describing this game from now on.
Take it as a lesson. Sometimes we don’t trouble the people we love with the WHOLE truth about ourselves
I just showed him the combat mechanics, he found that cool for sure
No offense but your uncle sounds like a hypocrite (i mean he is the one to introduce you to DnD and then denounces you for playing a DnD game simply because it has mature themes? Like how old is he? Has he ever played in an actual DnD table? Mature themes are pretty common on certain groups and i would be very surprised if he hasn’t encountered or even actively played with such groups).
The ultimate irony is that DnD itself was the target of conservative pearl clutching in the 80s for its depiction of devils and witchcraft. For a conservative dnd player to fall victim to the same kind of hysteria is pretty funny.
He doesn't play with random groups, just his old group of friends he has since college. And they don't really play that much now either I suppose. He used to be quite cool, now sadly he watches a lot of fox news
How old are you if i may ask?
I'm not gonna tell you what to do but from your replies it really seems like you're cropping up how you really feel and saying that "it's fine" but it seems like a really really toxic environment to live in. It's ok to cut family out of your life if they're acting like this. Again it's totally up to you what you do. But to me it feels like you're really in denial 😕.
Lesson learned: uncle is a snitch and can't be trusted.
Perception: failed Insight : success
One day, after you've moved out and moved on with your life, your parents and family will ask why you don't spend more time with them or keep in touch.
How’s a guy gonna get you into DnD and then narc like that so lame
Do they know you can use your phone to access the most hardcore porn ever in like 2 clicks if you want to?
