Listen "Online Gaming & Fake Pants"
Episode Synopsis
We dive into the murky waters of online gaming, from virtual FIFA packs, to Roblox scams and Fortnite skins and dances that do absolutely nothing,
We dip our toes into exploring how micro-transactions, cosmetic upgrades, and virtual events shape modern play. Mixing humour with genuine concern, and a dash of mild despair. We compare today’s digital spending habits to old-school collectibles, touch on the risks of addictive purchases, and share personal anecdotes, like bribing Yoni with V-Bucks to try a millimetre of feta cheese, proving that in-game currency could be the most powerful parenting tool ever invented.
It’s a fast-paced, eye-rolling clash of generations where nothing—not even virtual dances—is safe from mockery.
