There’s been some great ideas here, but I like yours the best.

Bill Burr complaining about being forced to be the pope would be amazing.

“I’m not going to lead mass. Leading mass is Charlie Work!”

Plausible explanation.

I used to always use Minecraft for this. Sure, they can’t do everything immediately, but I put the game on peaceful and let them explore at their own pace.

I say “used to” because Luanti (formerly MineTest, an open source Minecraft Clone*) is finished and free.

(Okay, Luanti is a lot more than a Minecraft clone. But for this discussion that’s all one needs to know.)

This was really helpful. Thank you.

I remember those days, as well!

“The Mandalorian” is fantastic space western, and worth watching for what it is, if you can ignore the Star Wars connection.

It might tempt you to also watch “Boba Fett”, which does not stand in it’s own at all, but does weirdly contain a couple of good enough bonus episode of “The Mandalorian” for marketing reasons.

Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?
