My son has begged me to get Hello Neighbor off Steam because my sister in law sits him in front of some over-reactive man children playing video game shows on the Roku between school and pick-up. The reviews checked out as relatively safe for kids and the price was right so I agreed. He's mostly been doing B&E capture the flag and bringing random possessions from the guy's house to the PC's house and been having a lot of fun that way. After watching this for a bit, I asked him if he wanted to try to achieve some of the goals of the game and goddarn, the puzzles and solutions make no darn sense.
The main goal is a door in his kitchen, and you're shown the key to it is kept upstairs, but there are no accessible stairs to the second floor in the house. There's a door with another lock that they haven't given any clues to where the key is. We could try meticulously searching the house, but we're spending four minutes at a time hiding in fricking armoires while the neighbor dashes back and forth around the house. My wife's currently putting him to bed, so I checked out a tutorial video and the solution pissed me off to no end. You apparently climb the scaffolding outside the house, smash in the window with some garbage, get a car key up there, get a magnet from the car trunk, and USE A FRICKING MAGNET TO PULL A LOCK PICK YOU CAN BARELY SEE OUT A WINDOW FROM OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. Needless to say, this is an r-slured solution to a locked door puzzle set in a house that's supposed to be lived in by a human.
I think if he's playing this I can probably show him the Looking Glass Thief series, he may get a kick out of it.
After this and Bendy I'm thinking getting games hyped up by Reaction Bros is not a good way forward. I'll have to talk to Auntie about maybe keeping him from watching thirty year olds open mouth gape at terrible games.
Thank you for reading my rant.

It has been really hot around here so I've been wearing a small tank top dress around the house. Sometimes it rides up or a boob is close to popping out, but it is incredibly humid and we don't have AC, I'm just trying to stay cool. I get groped non-stop. I wouldn't mind him putting the moves on me if it was an appropriate time, but this is when I'm doing my makeup, cleaning up, or even doing work. And he turns into a 13 year old boy. He just shows me his boner without any attempt to 1) gauge if I'm in the mood, or 2) try to get me turned on. He just wiggles his boner around all proud of himself like he's the most seductive man in the world. It really just actually creeps me out. We've always been pretty sexually active, and probably are intimate about once every day or two. But this behaviour is such a turnoff I've been kind of grossed out lately and s*x has felt like a major chore. I have told him soooooooooooo many times that I don't appreciate that kind of thing, that it's immature, and also that I'm allowed to wear whatever I want in my home without being harassed. He does not get the memo. Yesterday, after he followed me into our very small hot bathroom and rubbbed is boner against my butt while I washed my face, I snapped at him. I said “please leave the bathroom, it's too bloody hot for this, you need to give me space!” He legit had a temper tantrum, stomping his feet and pounding his fists on surfaces! He said “you always reject my love” and I tried to explain that it's normal for me to have boundaries and it doesn't mean I'm rejecting anything. He didn't see it like that and stormed out of the house. Today it is even hotter but I'll be sure to cover myself so I don't have to deal with that.
