      As a technology, Roblox is actually impressive, it’s not shitty Minecraft you can make some sophisticated stuff without a lot of work, the tooling is decent and can be learned by a beginner. Source: my kid plays it and has enlisted my help occasionally making stuff in the studio

        If they’re young, keep a close eye on their activities, especially over discord. And you should definitely check out the several documentaries by People Make Games of child labor exploitation and grooming in Roblox dev.

        The tooling is made to be usable by children so that makes sense. I think a big part of TikTok’s success has been the intensely superior mobile interface for multi-track video editing which has since been cloned by dozens of successful apps. It’s incredible what some clever design can do. Now if only we could get capitalists to stop using clever design to manipulate people we’d be set.

    I know someone irl who made money from making Roblox sex mods and then they got banned (for selling Roblox sex mods) and couldn’t retrieve a load of the money they made.

    I don’t hang out with them anymore and neither do any of my friends after it turned out that they were a massive racist though. They were a complete creep of a guy through and through.

        From the way he described it, he like modeled BDSM chairs and other sex props and like stripper dance emotes and stuff, idk really. I remember finding it really weird at the time because me and my bff and another friend were on a discord VC at the time playing TF2 and then he just joined and started talking about how he got banned for making Roblox sex mods

        Basically all three of us were just sitting there slowly going jokerfication together as he kept talking

        They don’t but you can create models that have custom shapes. The blocky nature of is just the template. There are games that are nothing but custom meshes that are exported from other engines - some of them straight up look like CoD with 60% of the graphics

    Well, you all can make fun of it all you want, but my wife’s boyfriend set up my Roblox account so I can play the 17+ games and he even bought me Robux so I could give my character a sword. Sounds to me like you’re all jealous.

    When I was a kid, people would buy exploits that let you execute sex animations inside games. It was funny because I was a kid, but knowing that Roblox is now actively encouraging adults to date on a children’s game is epstein combine that with the PMG reports about developer exploitation and CSA, it’s no wonder it’s valued so highly by fintech
