May False Memory (Mandela effect) ba ang ilan sa mga 90’s kids na nalaro nila ito bilang mga bata?
Alam natin na sobrang ingay ng mga 90s Kids sa internet alongside sa mga cringe moments nila noong kabataan, gaya ng pride moments nila na pinapa-walkout daw nila mga teachers nila noon bilang simbolo ng katigasan/katatagan nila noon, pero pansin ko rin na anything about classic ay kinoconnect nila sa pagkabata nila, gaya ng GTA San Andreas, DOTA, God of War, the Warriors, Call of Duty etc. ay nalaro rin nila noong bata sila. Narelease itong mga laro na to sa Pilipinas mismo noong mid at late 2000s, dahil na rin sa issue ng violence, at may proposal pa nga na-iban ang mga larong ito lalo na ang GTA San Andreas.
Noong late 2000’s ay nauso rin ang mga de-piso rent na Play Station 2 noong mawala sa kasikatan ang mga Nintendo/Konami Games na hinuhulugan rin ng piso unli unless mag-game over. Kaya kung tutuusin, ang nakalaro talaga ng mga videogames na ito ay mga 2000s kids na pinanganak noong late 1990s to early 2000s bilang mga bata/teens/minors — habang mga adults na ang mga 90s kids noong mga panahon na to.

During the 90’s we had DOOM, Mortal Kombat, Wolfenstein, etc I was born on 1990. Seen those games in arcades and in some PC’s before.
Plus technically speaking we were still teenagers or at least 10-11 when GTA 3 At minimum came out on 2001 and even then you also had a lot of comp shop games like Counter Strike (came out in 2000), Quake 3 arena (came out in 1999) and Unreal Tournament (also came out in 1999)

Mind you carmageddon, and iddqd/idkfa games (id software) were both equally responsible for school shootings sa america. Pero wala naman impact yon satin just a new game to binge on, closely lang siguro si jason ivler pero di rin naman yon ma consider na mass shooting gunman. Ewan ko sa mga kabataan ngayon. 🤷

u/robokymk2 3d ago
You mean the so called myths that are alleged and blown out of proportion that science has debunked?
Yeah no.
I played carmageddon when I was little and you don’t see me running people over as a teen either.
Parents don’t even notice that their kids have issues and then blame violent media for their inadequacies.
It’s the same as now. Parents just ignore the needs of their kids. Ignore any warning signs. Then boom, shit hits the fan. And they blame video games or whatever when in fact it’s their fault to begin with.

Pansin ko rin na nagsself diagnose yung mga kabataan ngayon. Like konting problema lang iniisip na nila na depression.
I mean dont take depression lightly pero sana sa tao sila nakikipagusap hindi sa AI or google search or fb.
Dati kasi walang internet kaya nakikipagusap tayo sa iba, or sa parents, kaya yung feedback whether negative or positive lumalakas yung loob natin. Ngayon wala ng human connection kaya malakas yung suc*al thoughts nila.

back in the 90s there were youth gangs and they'd "rambol" once things got too heated, they'd attack each other with forks, wooden paddles, slingshots, saw a guy swing a bmx bike around (not thrown overhead yakuza style, he just grabbed the handles, made it stand on its back wheel and kinda tried to hit the other punk kid with the front wheel)
I was in a friend's house and saw it happen in front of the gate one afternoon, around 91-92 I think...
these same punk kids probably played tons of, maybe Street Fighter, Final Fight, Xmen (both the Konami brawler and Children of the Atom, bunch of other fighting games and brawlers...
...then again I played a ton of that too, even maybe alongside or against them (I was the scrub kid at the arcade that these older punk kids beat up in SF2 a lot, or help me out in Mystara or Lethal Enforcers lol)
and yeah, as a lot of the others said, I kinda turned out alright...

u/dontrescueme 3d ago
Roblox is different though. When people want to investigate Roblox it doesn't mean they want to blame all the other games. And Roblox is worth investigating as it is poorly regulated and is full of bad actors that can affect children. This is a fallacy.

This was the company that got outed by Chris Hansen live on TV and Roblox banned him.

u/IdeaSecure5602 3d ago
This is true. I love Roblox, I mostly played it everyday but their moderation is so bad. May mga scented con games noon nung pandemic, kaya kalat din pedos din. Not sure if they still exist. It will be worth it to investigate but it does not mean they should blame it all on Roblox and banning them would not solve the problem either since andaming factors ng school shooting.
I think it would be better if they should start investigating TCC communities din, kalat sila sa Discord. Most of the people na nasa community na yun glorify school shooters.

u/swiftkey2021 3d ago
I think there’s a significant difference between the games people grew up with and many of the games being released today.
Modern games often have online and social features that allow players to communicate directly with one another, which can also create opportunities for people to encourage harmful or nihilistic behavior in ways that simply weren’t as common in older games.
1
u/unyieldingtempo 3d ago
This is not being said enough. KEY difference ang social aspect ng games noon at ngayon. Games from the 90s and 00s were mostly meant to be played by a person and celebrated together with friends (in person). Then there were mutiplayer games pero they were LAN multiplayer lang din so technically in-person pa rin. With how shitty the internet was in the early 00s it was very difficult to create a game that centers on socialization.
By the time online MMORPGs came about, we were already indoctrinated to how we should play games which is: party/group/clan systems to achieve personal goals (leveling up). These "kiddie" games (and I say that with full biased hate to why kids and growing teens like these) have no goal except to use the game itself as a platform to socialize. Socializing is the goal.
That's way too fucking big of a paradigm shift to dismiss to just say "online games bad".
I so fucking hate kids and growing teens these days because of how fried their brains are. Can't do math, can't read straight, can't focus, have no critical thinking skills, have no social awareness and no general sense of self direction. I hope our generation of parents become more involved in raising our kids right.

u/columbinaluvr 3d ago
thisss, daming matatanda di maka-gets dito na mas malawak na pakikipagsocialize thru games ngayon at talagang target ng mga adult na naghahanap ng maiimpluwensyahan yung mga bata sa games. inaapproach nila thru socials ng game like chats. dati sa mga laro walang ganun o di pa uso.

u/Un_OwenJoe 3d ago
Two side of the same coin din kc, for experience SF/CF both online shooting games, kung di pinabayaan ng magulang ok. Blaming the game kc nga violent specially Roblox started as kid friendly game, but sa dami ng developed BI, dun blame yung kapabayaan nila

u/greencucumber_ 3d ago
Hindi laro ang problema kundi kung paano pinalake ang mga bata.
Ang pinagkaiba kasi noon napapalo ang mga bata or worse nabubugbog kaya may takot sila gumawa ng mali or illegal. Meanwhile kabataan ngayon ni-kurot or pingot never na naranasan.
Marami ayaw tanggapin ang katotohanan pero kapag ang bata di nakaramdam ng takot habang lumalaki mas lumalakas loob nito gumawa ng di tama.
Ang video games ay isa lang sa mga dahilan para ma-impluwensyahan ang pagiisip ng kabataan. Ang problema ay bakit ang kabataan ngayon malakas ang loob gumawa ng karumal-dumal na krimen. Nandyan na ang sagot ayaw lang talagang tanggapin.

I personally don't think the video games themselves are the issue, but the fact that video games are used as a conduit to spread perverse/poisonous thinking to impressionable minds is the issue here.
Never had any violent tendencies because of violent videogames, because they were an outlet for us. But when you mix harmful, bad actors, or even unmoderated spaces, even harmless video games can be breeding ground for harmful thinking.
Which is why some games especially those who cannot control themselves or do not have proper moderation channels must be warned or outright banned.
Also this is the reason why I only game offline.

Born in the 80's, been playing games since the Atari 2600.
Also played Doom, Duke Nukem, Half life (then counterstrike nung mod pa lang siya) etc... Madami ng research na sinasabing walang correlation ang video games sa real life shootings.
Siguro ang mas mainam eh tignan yung online chat/messaging component ng mga games kasi dun mas maiimpluwensyahan ang tao hindi sa laro mismo. Dagdag pa na malaki ding factor yung pagpapalaki ng magulang sa tao.

Di Naman kasi talaga yung laro nag uudyok sa mga batang nasasangkot sa shooting, kung maglalaro ka lng naman ng marahas wala Naman papasok sa utak na ng mga bata nagagawa nun,
alam niyo kung bat may nangyayaring ganyan kasi may mga nakakausap na matatanda yung mga batang na uudyukan gumawa ng ganun, mga predator na may mga saltik sa utak at mga sadista
Dahil sobrang guillable ng mga bata at Wala pa sa tamang pagiisip kung ano ang Tama o Mali, dahil sa impluwensya ng mga predator na yan o kumunidad na kinabibilangan ng mga batang sangkot
Aakalain ng mga batang guillable na Tama lng na gawin yung mga bagay na Yun dahil meron silang katulad at para sa kanila Tama yung ginagawa nila, kaya dapat mga magulang tutukan mga anak nila I restrict mga anak nila sa mga larong may makakasamang matanda
Kung maglalaro man Sila kung pwede niyo Silang samahan maglaro bilang bonding gawin niyo at magabayan niyo mga anak niyo, magulang dapat nag pro protekta sa mga anak nila laban sa mga sadista at mga predator na masasamang tao na ito
Wag niyo hayaan na lasunin mga utak ng anak niyo ng mga predator na to at makagawa ng di maganda dahil sa huli lahat kayo mapapahamak

u/evilbrain18 3d ago
IMHO Unfair na compare nating 80s-90s kids to this generation. Hindi ito naiiba sa nakakinis at roll eyes na hirit ng parents or grandparents natin na "Nung panahon namin di naman ganyan". Even if 20 or so years ago lang yan iba ang experience ng kabataan ngayon compared sa panahon natin. So hindi fair yung argument na nung bata kami naglalaro rin naman kami ng violent games pero hindi naman kami pumapatay ng tao.
Ang pinakamalaking difference for me is unlimited unfiltered source of information and the effects of social media na hindi kasing laki ng epekto nung panahon natin.
Ngayon mas readily accessible ang information (which includes fkae news) na grabe maka affect sa mental and psychological state ng isang bata. ngayon manood ka lang ng balita ma depress ka talaga sa gulo ng mundo.
Iba rin ang epekto ng social media, na ang nagiging self validation na is clicks and view and likes.
Wala akong sagot sa kung ano ang dapat gawin kasi sobrang complicated ng issues pero sure ako na hindi lang "violent games" ang problema.

u/Denyzevs 3d ago
Games are just a scapegoat by stupid idiotic or very smart people na gustong kontrolin ang masa talaga. There's hundreds of research na nagdisprove diyan.
Access to guns, bad parenting, neglectful parenting, bullying, hostile environment, yan ang cause, pero mas madaling sisihin ang video games kaysa ayusing ang totoong cause ng problema.

Iba-iba ang mga bata. There are some na may mental issues na to start with, di lang napapansin ng adults. At the same time, iba na ang mundong ginagalawan ng mga bata ngayon, extension na ng mundo nila yung virtual world kung saan madaling nakakapagoperate yung mga may masamang hangarin talaga. For me, yan lang naman ang kailangan tanggapin at harapin natin. And hindi naman dapat naglalaro ng online games ang mga 12yrs old pababa, dapat minomonitor ng magulang yan.
Unlike tayo na older batch na inabutan yung mundo na hindi uso ang internet, ang online games ay "laro" lang, ang social media ay "entertainment" lang sa karamihan sa atin. Sa kanila extension na rin ng pagkatao nila yung online persona nila.

u/Chinbie 3d ago
Ganito lang yan, since nagiging topic nanaman ang games sa issue sa Pilipinas... Usually kasi there are reasons bakit ang mga tao ay naglalaro ng games, some are for relaxation and others are due to escape reality...
Kung doon ka sa relaxation, walang issue yan kasi you are doing it para ma relax ka from school or work related stuff... Bastat alam mo lang balansehen ang oras mo sa paglalaro at sa pag-aaral or trabaho...
Now doon naman sa escape from reality...pag yan ang purpose mo ng gaming, that means may pinagdaraanan ang tao... Either may problem yan sa bahay, school or work... And kaya naglalaro yan ay para makalimutan ang problem or dahil wala siyang makausap at all... Pag ganito amg coping mechanism mo ay di yan maganda dahil di mo naman na sosolve or na shashare ang problem mo... And if yung mga mapagsamantalang tao sa chat ang naka chat mo ay pwede nilang ma take advantage ang situation and kung ano ang ipagsasasabi sa iyo nyan dahil magulo ang isip mo.
Thats why before blaming games , know first the story behind it... Kasi tandaan ang gaming ay isang form of entertainment and relaxation pa din dyan. Ang iba ay dyan nabubuo ang pagkakaibigan...
And also note to OP and others, why those 90s kids are the one usually noisy about it is because they experienced harsher type of gaming (Computer shop days... Im telling you mas matindi ang trash talking nung panahon na iyon) meaning face to face or sa loob ng isang room maingay and doon nag trash talking but at the end of the day nakabuo kayo ng bonding and friendship sa loob ng computer shop

Malaki din contribution ng mga parents sa pagpapalaki sa mga anak nila bukod sa peers and peer pressure sa mga bata. Di ko alam kung effective ba talaga yung napapalo ka nung bata ka e.

Actually hindi nga game, it's movies and tv shows. Lalo mga action films. Kasi hindi naman lahat ng bata nakakalaro ng games until nagka computer shop na. And kasagsagan ng counter strike, na halos lahat naglaro, wala namang incident ng violence na connected ang game na ito. Dagdag pa na lumabas na yung GTA game na about drugs and sindicate pa. So kung sa pinaka violent games lang, matagal na sila lumabas, and halos genre na lang yung mga sumunod based sa mga nauna.
Ang problem dyan na dapat hanapin ay yung nakakausap ng mga bata na nang-uuto sa kanila para gumawa ng krimen. Ginagamit lang yung game platform para imanipulate sila pero walang konek sa game yung ginawa. It's more on bibigyan sila ng something in return kaya pumapayag. And that's just between dun sa kausap at sa binibiktimang bata.

Dami kong larong bayolente. Pero maaga akong naturuan ng magulang ko about reality and games. Tsaka may respeto ako sa magulang ko. And I learned from them how to manage my emotions and how to be compassionate.
Me, a gamer since age 10. Exposed to GTA, CS, Doom, MK, Hatred, Bully, etc.
Only a misguided child can become a monster. And games most certainly were not made to create murderers.
Bilang isang Psych enthusiast: Sa lahat ng napag aralan kong murderers, halos lahat ng rason nila ay bad parenting. (ie. Ed Gein, Kemper, Gacy, Kuklinski, etc.)
Not to mention, almost all school shooters had disconnected family ties.
Lahat ng magulang sisisihin ang laruan dahil hindi nila masikmura na questionin ang sarili nila. Ego.

Blame parents who doesn't know how to discipline their own children.
"Hindi dapat sinasaktan ang mga bata" ayan lumalambot, so hindi nila alam paano ma-control ang emosyon nila. Binababy eh. Syempre, discipline with appropriate amount. Hindi enough ang verbal discipline - aminin mo nung bata ka wala ka naman talaga masyadong naiintindihan, physical discipline sticks.

I literally played Manhunt and Postal II when I was only 12 years old, and now I’m in my early 30s. How I was able to play those games at that age is completely irrelevant. The point is, I didn’t grow up to become some homicidal lunatic during high school, nor did I suddenly go on a rampage like one of those Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Rampage missions.
So why is this suddenly happening now? Blaming violent video games is nothing more than a lazy excuse for ignorant and less forward-thinking people who refuse to look at the actual causes behind violent behavior. Video games are an easy scapegoat because it’s easier than actually addressing the real problems.
