How to get non-gamer mom to start games
I have been gaming all my life. My dad plays games too. I even remember him playing TTD on those old computers, but even though my mom complains about being bored, I can't get her to play games.
I don't think she has used a computer in the last 7 years, and she only uses her phone to talk to her friends and scroll social media. She might have played Candy Crush back in the day. I seem to recall some memories about that, but I'm not sure. So she is as inexperienced as one could be in gaming.
The main problem is that I don't think I could convince my mom to play anything that doesn't have realistic graphics, and I'm using an Intel UHD 630.
I can get a new computer if I can convince my mom to play games, but otherwise, I don't need one, since the games I play can run on a potato.
