WTF is wrong with parents today. I kick my kids off the computer as much as I can yet alone encourage them to play inside. Maybe you should go outside and play catch with them.

My 10 year old son announced to me last night he wants to play eve. He currently plays minecraft and he picks up games really quick. He is already the encyclopedia of minecraft.
Is 10 too young to get him started or has anyone else got youngish kids playing eve.
It would be nice to play with him as I hate Minecraft with a passion and probable would help his learning.



Have him play starmade, then work to space engineers. Break him down slowly. Once abuse tollerance is built have him move to eve. His skin will be thickened by then.

No ten year old should be anywhere near Eve.
Period. Full-stop.

Interesting. Why are you near EVE?

There's no justification on earth for a ten year old to be doing this. Sorry. Anybody who says otherwise has a problem with facts. An old man once told ME, "Facts are stubborn things."

Categorical statements are categorically wrong. There are plenty of justifications and the only fact here is that your belief that there aren't any does not mean they don't exist. That's what the old man was trying to tell you: you may believe otherwise, but that won't make the fact of the matter go away.
What a load of tripe. I think ten year olds should go ahead and get that first tattoo, and start smoking cigars - the big fat ones. Parents should drive them to the local pool hall where they can go right into learning how to properly cuss, and shoot eightball. (Nineball is for wimmen.) They need to learn to hold their liquor now, because their future requires a steady stagger as they plumb the depths of depravity and alcoholism. This is, after all, the 21st Century.

The right to free speech doesn't automatically carry with it the right to be taken seriously.

I started when I was 12 and am now 22. I'd say it's fine, but he'll be limited like I was due to my age.
