Despite the ever-changing parenting styles, it's still widely accepted that you should try not to talk back to your parents. They're wiser and have more experience than you. It's like challenging the endgame boss when you're not ready - you're not just winning. But, when you're young, especially, it's tempting to tell your folks off when they're wrong, even if you don't do it directly. Most kids never get a chance to do this though and put a smile on their proud father or mother's face too, which is what makes the story of this 10-year-old gamer so special.
A month ago, a certain u/faildoken shared on Reddit how his 10-year-old son talked "smack" at him and told him that Diablo 2 was an easy game. Amused at his son's bravado, the father challenged the youngling. The dare? Beat Diablo 2 on Hell difficulty in a month, specifically, "beat Baal on Hell, solo." If the kid does it, he'll win a $79.99 Fortnite V-Buck card. The father goes on to detail that his offspring's previous experience with Diablo 2 was playing Diablo 2 Resurrected at launch and making it to Act 2 on Normal difficulty.
We don't know if this is good parenting or not, because clearly, Diablo 2 and its remaster, Diablo 2 Resurrected, are the last things you'd like your child to play, especially for hours on end. But, to each his own. Besides, it's not like son wasn't up for it.
