Gen Alpha – Social Life Guide

We all know about video games- Roblox, Fornite and games like that. And as a Generation Alpha, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to avoid them. They shorten attention spans and disrupt conversation skills. I will tell you my story, what happened, and give you my perspective. These are all my opinions, so please no hate comments.

Roblox Guide

Almost all my friends play it and they usually babble about it a lot. That made me feel excluded because I didn’t have the game. I asked my parents for the game, but used it irresponsibly. It got taken away from me and I never saw the home screen again. I was very sad about it, but my parents taught me things and it made me proud I left it.

When I went to school, it was hard telling them that I didn’t have Roblox. If you, the reader relate to this, DON’T GET YOUR CHILD ROBLOX. Now, it’s up to you but I really recommend not. I bet your kid will come running up to you asking, “Can I have Roblox? Please? All my friends are playing it I and want to stay connected with them!” It’s better if they don’t get it because then their friends will turn into zombies of the digital world and your kid won’t!

There are inappropriate games on there such as “Public Bathroom Simulator” and don’t even get me started on “Brookhaven”. Even with the restricted age limit, your child can still have access to those games. Instead of giving them Roblox, give them one hour screen time one weekdays and two hours on weekends. Because there will be no Roblox, they will go onto other games. But give them a Nintendo with the game Minecraft.

This blog isn’t at all on Minecraft and you can read my other article about it, but I just want to advise you. Minecraft is like Roblox but more moderated, less weird and more creative. It has endless possibilities, and it’s more healthy for your child. I’m not your consultant, do what you want to do. I’m just warning you…

Fortnite Guide

I’ve never played Fortnite before, but I have an idea of what you should do. If your kid is less than thirteen, don’t get them Fortnite. They will be exposed to harmful violence on it and it’s better to wait until when they’re more mature. 

One of my friends plays it and his dad is in the military, so I don’t even know what’s going on in his brain. He says things like, “If you hit me, I’ll get my dad to hunt you down and snipe you.” I know he can’t be for real but that is a bit concerning.

Another example is this one boy that is so annoying. He also grinds on Fortnite and I asked him if he would shoot people during an argument. Guess what he said. “I would maybe, in America.” That is really wrong and he should not be saying those things.

Just wait until your kids get older so they can tolerate it better. Same goes for other shooter games like Call of Duty.

Conclusion

Anyways, here’s all my advice in a summary.

1. Don’t get your child any violent shooter games if under recommended age limit

2.  Don’t get Roblox for your kid

3. Don’t get any questionable games (such as High on Life)

So that’s it for this article. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this blog. I will try to respond. Thanks for reading and have a good day!

Ranking of Chips

Everyone has probably eaten one of those light brownish round things before. Today, I’m going to make a tier list of chip brands. I’m writing this just to share my opinions, and you may have different preferences than me and that’s okay. I will be ranking these counting down from #5 to #1. Anyways, let’s get into it.

5. Lays

For me, Lays is my low standard for chips. It kind of feels like it has no flavor. I do like their Bugles, but their regular chips don’t really appeal to me. There are a lot of them sitting lonely in my pantry, collecting dust. Even in my lunch at school, I don’t eat them often. I would say this is 5th place. 

4. Doritos

If you gave me a choice between Doritos and Lays, I would obviously choose Doritos. Their chips are crunchy and have a good amount of taste. My favorite kind of them is probably Nacho Cheese. They have an iconic triangle shape for a potato chip. I also favor their logo. It just looks cool. 4th place for me. 

3. Cheetos

I don’t have these really often. Especially since we live in Europe. There are a lot in a bag because they’re thin so that’s good. They have a distinct color and I like the mascot. I would say 3rd place.

2. Sun Chips

Some of you may not know these chips, but you can recognize them by their wavy pattern. They taste so good! It’s becoming a bit harder to find them these days though. I haven’t had one in like years. I would love to have one again. I will put this brand probably 2nd place.

1. Pringles

They are just beautiful. They have the most immense flavor of all and they just look appetizing. They are my most favorite chip brand of all! They are so amazing that I can’t even write a whole description for it. It’s in first place!

So that’s it for this article. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this blog. I will try to respond. Thanks for reading and have a good day!

Gen Alphas

As a Gen Alpha, there is a lot of brain rot. For instance, Tralaleo Tralala or Tung Tung Tung Sahur. If you scroll on YouTube or any other social media platforms, you’re sure to lose some braincells. And everyone says “six-seven”. Even I do sometimes.

Six Seven

Everyone at my schools says it, and even Duolingo says it too. One time I was doing French on Duolingo then this came up: “Q: What does ‘Six-Sept’ translate too? A: Six-seven.” My parents told me that even a school banned the phrase “six-seven”. My friend said that it originated from a basketball player. But a news article says it’s from a rapper. I don’t know who made it but they just caused pure chaos at school.

Gen Alpha Phrases

These ones I’m totally against. But it’s hard to stop saying them when, for example, girls are chanting, “slay girly” in the cafeteria. Ah, my ears! Another phrase is, “Skibidi ohio rizzler”. It apparently means that someone is bad at getting a love. Something I swear younger kids sing is, “skibidi bop bop bop yes yes”. They have so much brain rot. Some kids yell, “sigma sigma boy sigma boy sigma boy” which is from a song. But that will be outdone by something else down below.

Italian Brainrot

Some common ones are Tralaleo Tralala or Bombardino Croccidillo. Honestly, I do say it sometimes because I keep hearing it at school. I have no idea how it was created. Because it is so popular, someone made a game on Roblox called, “Steal a Brainrot”. Now I don’t play Roblox but my friends do and they talk about it non-stop. There is also lore for Italian Brainrot. For example, Tung Tung Tung Sahur knocks on people’s doors for dinner. The “tung tung tung” is the sound of knocking. And “sahur” is what they say after too. If the person doesn’t come to eat dinner when called, then he beats them up with a bat.

Regular Memes

Normal memes are probably the least brain rot-ish of them all. My most favorite are Popping Cat and Bouncing Seals. You might have heard about the “this is fine” meme. It depicts a dog drinking a cup of tea while his house burns down. There are a lot of memes about everything, like ones about school. I could literally create a meme about what I’m looking at out the window. For example, the rain in Amsterdam keeps turning in different directions- I could make a meme out of that. Someone also made a boardgame entirely based on memes- What Do You Meme. I use to have that game but the kids at my school entirely trashed it.

So that’s it for this article. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this blog. I will try to respond. Thanks for reading and have a good day!

My Journey of Minecraft

I’ve been playing Minecraft for around three years now. I first started the game when I was six and I graduated kindergarten. As a reward, I was given the Nintendo Switch Lite.

We went to Best Buy to purchase three game cards of my choice. I chose Animal Crossing, Minecraft and Super Smash Bros. That’s where my love for Minecraft began.

Before I went to sleep, I would always dream about creating a house in Minecraft. Oak plank stairs, topped off with a long stretch of oak fence as guardrails. But I couldn’t make that thought a reality though.

But I finally had the power…

… TO DO EVERYTHING I WANTED!

World after world, I built and I built. Homes for Allays (Minecraft mobs), secret bases and underwater homes! I was playing at the time when update 1.19 came out.

The idea of the deep dark scared me and I stayed away as far as possible. But the dumbest thing I would ever be afraid of is the ground. Even in creative mode.

I am not joking.

I would always make sky bases and I would only touch the floor if I needed to construct something down there. One time, I fell from one of my masterpieces.

I was in the jungle biome and I landed on a piece of bamboo. Not even close to the ground. The shadow, casted from my build made a never ending darkness. I freaked out and logged out.

As I grew older, my builds became better and more sophisticated. And also, my fear of the ground was being cured slowly. For you guys to see one of my builds, I’ll post a photo down below.



If you notice, there is no ladder leading to the ground. Because I was scared. All I would do is snipe mobs day and night. Very boring.

But then I moved on from Minecraft…

…SIKE!

I came back to it and started building a frenzy. This period I call the Early Modern Era. I built my first full on city, designed to be a server. The name is- well, I didn’t name it. It was a snowy village.



But this was just the beginning. If you think this is good wait until you see the photo in a couple of paragraphs.

But anyways, I spent a lot of time on it. I built a lighthouse as you can see, and a whole ton of stores. It was magnificent.

I showed it to my friends and one of them said it should be on one of those MrBeast “One Dollar Versus One Million Minecraft Builds”.
But he should’ve taken those words back after I cooked up my next project- Bellview City.

It started with one small bank in the middle of a flat world. I didn’t know what it would become.

I started expanding the area around the bank. I added an ice cream shop and a scammer call center. Don’t know why. I shortly added a house and a small warehouse after. That’s just the start.

Weeks after weeks, my city grew in great size. Shops and restaurant bordered the never ending roads. A highway was constructed. I added a Pokémon center and another house. But I never forgot to add easter eggs (secret things).

I put secret tunnels and bases underground and inside of walls. There are now a lot of them and think how fun it would be to play tag in this marvelous city. Finally, the photo.

But I also started playing Minecraft on a computer in addition my Nintendo Switch. I log into my Microsoft account to play the Java Edition. I would play on servers like Hypixel. My parents also booked me Minecraft classes online where I could play online with other children.

At first it was hard for me to use WASD (the keyboard controls) but I eventually got the hang of it. But something that pissed me off was how difficult it was to speed bridge. I had to press left shift and position my player to face the block I’m building from.

So that’s it for this article. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this blog. I will try to respond. Thanks for reading and have a good day!
