It's not too late to save him. Actually, it's too early. Get him on the right track once he's receptive.

No his parents seem to be good, his grandma reads to him (I'm her nephew and she made me like reading). I guess they just supplement his playtime with time on the ipad. I just got sad thinking about a family where everyone is just on electronics all the time

what was with capitalising words mid sentence back in ye olde days?

That doesn't sound like the right track. He needs to become a Chad. It's easier that way.
>>24553140
I think nouns and occasionally adjectives were capitalized.

iPads and tablets ARE books and toys you hipster, they're also computers and television screens and radios and all sorts of things.

>play with Nintendo a lot as a kid
>Nintendo grew up to be a big faggot
What the fuck man, you used to BE "home video games". Now you're a toy for manbabies who will buy a whole console just to play the next Mario.

Meant to quote:
>>24553109
There is literally nothing wrong with "electronics"
It's fucking great that they're being exposed to computers at a young age. We didn't have a god damn computer in our house until I was 12 god damn years and we didn't get internet in hourse I was 17 cocksucking years old. Everyone my age is now working as some sort of programmer or network administrator and my parents think that I'm sort of underachieving wizard when I help them figure out the TV's remote when really I'm just slightly less retarded than them when it comes to technology.
Yes I'm mad, holy shit.

What exactly changed with Nintendo in the last 5 or 10 years or however long ago you were a kid?
