All of you guys, I'm wondering if each of you could possibly write a quote which I could collect to base my explanations on. Preferably make them addressed as if you were talking to my dad himself and convincing him. Thank you.

Not extremes, but yeah my friend like walks through the forest to my house and my mom doesn't even let me out of the neighborhood on my own or up the freaking back yard hill (back yard hills are not very steep)

I have great grades, that's not the issue for them

Yeah, younger sister 3.5 years younger

Yeah, my mom barely trusts me with a butter knife lol

Eh, I feel like half the people I've talked to are trying to convince me otherwise. I myself won't actually give up hope though, there are alternatives here.

idk tbh, I might look at it but I'm not into some roundabout way for this, sure I have some interest in graphic design but not too much. Might work though.

Hmm, interesting. I guess I'm kind of stuck for now.

May try it out, lol, although dad'll probably think it's just for gaming

Yeah, thanks for being helpful, though.

I would go for a console but my parents don't want me spending money on gaming. As for the rest, thanks for understanding. Finances is not an issue, its the mindset that is the issue here.

Yeah I like it, one of the choices I do have is LoL. I play it every once in a while.

Well thank you for an actual list of games. Never did like Fortnite because of the cringe dancing, but I like a few of those games.

Same thing, basically anything I want related for computers falls under gaming to them.

I mean I don't have a phone ("Why would a 12 year old need a phone??" - my parents) As for my iPad, it's an old iPad and is pretty slow and storage is full at most times because 16GB can't fit much

My Game Pass is from various codes I got for free. Anyway my mom has the same idea as my dad. My dad didn't tell me when I asked why he feels that way. Also yes, I am not an ant with rampant urine. I explained to my dad in a 5 page essay why he should let me game. It was "the dumbest thing he's ever read"

Yeah but where would I buy that RAM? Parents don't let me buy stuff for gaming. Alright yes, thank you for actually giving me suggestions for games and not just saying "you can still run games!" Yeah, but most of the games I have aren't on Geforce Now. No, parents won't let me buy anything for gaming.

This is quite an interesting argument going on. I understand that there seems to be multiple sides. I'm going to try and respond to each. It's not like they get me games anyway, I have Xbox Game Pass, games with that are usually kinda performance-hungry and are also big. I have a 466GB SSD, I can't fit many of those games on here. Also, people keep saying this is enough, but can I please get a few examples? Other than 30FPS Minecraft, please. As I said, I can't ask for some big thing for school. This laptop is just fine for everything school-related. Gotta say, I agree with you the most here. I mean it may just be my bias as OP, but basically my thoughts. I suppose the entire issue here is that they've already accepted a way of thinking and it'll be hard to change it now. My dad is a smart guy but he seems to be a bit stubborn regarding his view on video games. They're not hippies, we're not an American family and weren't exposed to that stuff at all. As for religion, it's not like our religion is strictly against it or anything, but I don't think the more inappropriate/extremely violent games would be allowed. Yeah, I suppose that doesn't really appeal to them. I'm not really the type to build giant builds in Minecraft, I'm more of a Hypixel player tbh. I can't run shaders like the ones Elysium uses very well on this laptop but I choose to anyway because I don't like it without them. Well, sure, my specs may be fine, but the issue still remains that laptops are completely unsteady. This laptop has broken on the side and the frame surrounding the screen is barely attached. Also, you can never rely on laptops for best performance. So what looks like okay specs actually doesn't work out well. My laptop runs at over 120 degrees while on Google Chrome, also my RAM is always in high use. I've tried Forza Horizon 4. Game simply crashed after a bit. I've been inspired to try and run something else now, although my network is hardly reliable. WiFi speed is great, but it just stops for like 10 seconds and disconnects me sometimes. I think my wifi adapter has issues too. This is also part of laptops being unsteady. I mean they're generally unreliable unless you pay thousands for them or get a Mac, which would not be good for gaming anyways. I may be wrong in all this, but it's not like I've been exposed to much other than the generic $600 laptops I've had. (I mean you can get a nice gaming laptop for $650 last I checked, but I wasn't quite as knowledgeable last time we were laptop-shopping) Thanks for contributing to this, guys, I really appreciate it.
