Yeah. The only one that took me by surprise was Xanax girl, prob bc she looks like she's 16

A personal rule that I play with is no save-scumming, but you are allowed to reload missions to the start. So, when shit goes downhill, you have to decide "is that Sergeant worth 20 minutes of my time?" If no, you just have to roll with the punches, and remember that troopers only cost like 15 bucks.

Honestly, it takes some getting used to. You have to get into the right mindset, and also remember that there's zero shame in savescumming. It's a single player game, do what you want. If you do go ironman though, winning despite the deaths and losses is just so satisfying.

I usually save scum like crazy, so I always turned on Ironman to keep myself honest but I don't really know how to find a proper middleground. Maybe if I spent enough time looking for the right personal settings I could work something out, but spending that much time to try and enjoy a game that I simply don't seemed somewhat pointless. It definitely looks really interesting and like a really cool experience that you can't find elsewhere, but I don't think it'll ever be for me.

cool. thanks

FUCK.

get a computer
there is no better investment for playing games

I have one. Two, actually. Laptop and desktop.

But neither have the capacity to run games like that. I mean, I suppose I could if I set it to minimum. I would have preferred it for my PS4 anyway. Big AAA titles I like on console. Smaller games on PC.

I dunno man, pretty much all of the kids in the content were at least good

It all depends on what coaching/acting school they go to, there are tons of good programs that spit out committed kids like Macaulay Culkin yeah he sucks ass now but that's because child actors generally work solely on the fact that they're children, also ego and drug problems who was 4 when he started and by 8 could act better than many adults I see today. Shirley Temple was another, and those are just the absolutely amazing examples. Experience helps too, even for kids. I'd say appearance matters but I've seen some horror movies where the curly haired little angel is actually a sadistic monster, so it really depends on the movie/show. Kids can act good enough to conform to any role.

The problem is that it usually takes a shitty parent living vicariously through them to push them hard enough to be good enough. Most four year olds I know don't have the patience to sit through a single episode of elmo let alone six hours of memorizing their lines, they need to be forced.

That's still a really small pool of potentially good child actors, and as you said, the very nature of children makes the long-term commitment needed for improvement unlikely. I think it's more than that, though. Cynical characters, like cynical people, frequently come across as being less cynical and more asshole-ish. It's one thing for a child actor to play a normal child well on TV. It's another thing entirely to pull off something a lot of adults can't.
