Anyone else had an email from Sony about 'Limitless'? It seems if you are quite knowledgeable about all things Playstation then you can earn money helping other gamers out. Kind of like freelance customer support.
@BearsEatBeets Yeah I had that email. I deleted it after a quick read as it is not something I wanna be doing in my spare time unless I really have to.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@MightyDemon82 That happened to me once, but I was with mates and I was drunk. I made the schoolboy error of falling asleep and woke up with a face full of make up. When I got home, my dad just shook his head with my mum giggling in the background.

@JohnnyShoulder haha this isn't my first time as I have nieces of 12, 8, 5 and 2 and the youngest is a real girly girl so no doubt I'll be subjected to this torture for years to come.
I did once paint my nails bright pink and sat in the pub for several hours before my mates noticed just to see their reaction 😂 and also put on a glow in the dark neon one that looked fantastic in a disco/nightclub 😂
@MightyDemon82 ha ha yeah the glow in the dark neon stuff looks wicked in a nightclub! I painted almost my whole body in the stuff a few times back in the day. You can really mess with people depending on how spaced out they are! 😂

So, I want to know about Tearaway PS4 and Concrete Genie PS4 as the other 1st party Sony games on PS4.
But before I consider these games, are these games really pure for kids without any Easter eggs from other rated M Sony games ?
I never knew about these games so I don't want to feel regret for finding the forbidden rated M stuffs in disguise as kiddie stuffs.
Considering Sony can just put any their rated M game characters as Easter eggs on their kids games and I really hate to see this behaviour as it's like promoting cigarettes / illegal drugs from kids stuffs.
@Anti-Matter I haven’t played Tearaway but Concrete Genie is for sure a kids game… and a very good one at that. Definitely worth a go, especially if you see it at a reduced price 👍
@Anti-Matter both Tearaway and Concrete Genie are wonderful games. I thoroughly enjoyed both and I would definitely introduce them to my nieces and nephews aged between 13 & 2
Love how you think Sony's other characters appearing in all ages games are like introducing Booze, Drugs and fags to kids 🤦
I will agree with the thoughts on concrete genie. It is a mature kids game in the sense that it deals with bullying, teenage strife and feelings of loneliness. It is a coming of age story though and also deals with overcoming bad feelings, letting go, moving on and forgiveness.
I'd say it was a kids game with mature themes and is maturely handled. As for drug use or other criminality. The protagonist is a graffiti artist which is a criminal act but it is used as an outlet of expression that allows them to let loose and explore their feelings. I can't remember if the gang of bullies smoke or drink or anything but they are framed as the bad guys early on.
So yes, I would say Concrete Genie sits in a grey area. It's not exactly a puritan experience. I think the morality explored in it is a personal one rather than a societal one though and from my personal and rather accepting worldview, I don't think it contains anything immoral.
Having said that, if I had kids, I'd have no qualms in letting them play it. It's not black and white, but it is nuanced.
One gameplay element is drawing your own art though, which can be used to draw naughty things. I know I drew some puerile illustrations when I played it 🤭
@Anti-Matter if you are unable to play games like astro bot because there are some small easter eggs linked to other 'mature' Sony games, how can you frequent this very website that has many articles on the likes of god of war, the last of us etc?
@MatthewJP
I didn't even care with those games and didn't want to see their images.
I just scrolled down the page quickly to find other thread like Chit Chat thread or other discussion threads.
@RogerRoger
Thanks for the quick review of Tearaway. 😊
I saw Tearaway was much like Yoshi game in term of gameplay style.
Tomorrow is a report day at my school.
Parents will go to school to take the report of their kids, meet with the class teacher, the class teacher will have some discussion about the progress of each students in their class.
Some students need more support from their parents due to lower scores on some subjects, some students need some behaviors change according from how did they behave in the school and in their place.
So far, I heard there was one student in grade 4 that his report paper was printed on ordinary paper, not on official report paper due to a lot of under scores on almost every subjects + he had some problems in his behavior at the school. He will get official report paper until the scores of the lessons are above the minimum pass score.
His class teacher will have serious discussion with his parent to fix his behavior in study the lesson as he had low motivation to study hard, still have difficulty to understand the questions from worksheet or test paper, working slowly in the class, have tendency to get into physical fight with his friend when he felt upset.
I saw that student didn't even have any enthusiasm at the school like I never saw him have good energy to study the lesson. Instead, I saw his lack of motivation to study the lesson. He was also having lack of compassion with his friend so he was easily to get into fight or argument with his friends from very trivial matters. He couldn't follow almost every lesson due to lack of effort to try harder even understanding the questions before answering.
I saw that behavior since he was grade 1 when I had a chance to give him a private teaching for 1 month about reading and writing English and Indonesian language lessons, he just didn't want to try hard to remember what he had learnt just now. For example, I have explained how to spell certain alphabets by pointing on certain letters and when I asked him what letters I pointed on, he just forget like he didn't even want to memorize what letters I asked about so I have to repeat so many times to make him understand and try to memorize them.
I wish the best for him to change his behavior and have motivation to study hard.
