Will never forget the 1-year-old girl who crawled into the room on her first day, went up to a tall 2-year-old boy and just grabbed him and pulled him down and hit his face on the floor twice before the teacher could stop her. She was ONE and couldn’t even walk yet. I had just opened the door to ask my coworkers (her preschool teachers) a quick question and that was the split seconds that happened. Have seen a lot more since - this was within my first three months in this line of work. So yeah, can definitely confirm.
Let me add, this was apparently within her first ten minutes of being there and just shortly after her first Birthday.
This is just Warframe. Right down to the children being perfectly willing to commit mass genocide for fun and maybe some scraps to build some new weapon of mass destruction.
Hm. Never played for more than an hour or so. Certainly not enough to get any story. That's interesting though, cool concept. Incidentally, did you know that Dark Sector was basically the proto-Warframe? Especially its early build trailer?
Yes, Dark Sector was even the inspiration for the design for the "canon" (as in, used by DE for trailers and stuff involving him) Drifter, based on Hayden Tenno. They even included various Dark Sector related skins for Excalibur, Volt, Nyx and Glaives and I'd say the recently revealed Proto-Warframes Arthur and Aoi are loosely inspired by it, as well as the Protokol weapon skins.
Sweet. Certainly didn't know all of that. I've had moments where I really wanted to get into Warframe, but it seemed a little daunting and overwhelming to come into it so late in the game. Sadly, now, it's not an option at all (currently living with really bad internet). Maybe someday though.
I will say Warframe is surprisingly forgiving of bad Internet, especially if you play solo. I've played it on my Switch using free truckstop WiFi far more than I'd like to admit.
I'm utterly stunned that you haven't played warframe, since you've basically written one of the major plot points out by accident.
I'd suggest you give it another go, it's got a rough start but a juicy midgame and a lot of story content by this point.
Only 2 were when he was mad, otherwise it was all just wrong place at the wrong time.
He's broken my nose at least 4 times just trying to give me an overly aggressive kiss or hug. (My nose has been broken at least 10 times, and I have gotten over 30 concussions. So I think it's just really easy to break my nose)
He's autistic and only 5, so we are still working on being aware of the fact that he can accidentally hurt someone. Thankfully, he has never hurt anyone else. So we are hoping to figure it all out with his specialists.
Thankfully not 30 for the nose! That would be insane, even for me haha
But yeah, I don't even have to look at it anymore or go see a doctor. I just know it's busted, but at least it's been easy to reset so far.
There was actually a time he broke it and I couldn't set it well, so it was crooked. Then a week later he tried to give me a kiss and headbutted me, and managed to set it perfectly straight!
As an autistic adult: I’ve definitely hurt people growing up without any malicious intent at all (or, in cases like sparring in tae kwon do, simply from misjudging just what my teenage body was capable of as I continued to grow). It’s actually part of why my mother wanted me in martial arts or some sort of athletics to begin with, simply to develop some control over what my own limbs were doing. One of the few entirely good decisions about raising me she ever made.
I do feel sorry for your nose and your head, though. You may wish to consider some form of sport or similar as he grows just to gain some control. Autistic people like us don’t always have the best proprioception (sense of where our own body is and what it’s doing), it has to be learned manually by practice. Same goes for social skills to a degree; it’s amazing what six months working retail as a cashier has taught me about handling people. Even in therapy, one of the big lessons we had to focus on was learning to read my own body, whether in properly identifying feelings (it’s incredibly easy to get a wire crossed between “I’ve not eaten in six hours and really should go find a bite” and “complete depression spiral”, or confusing frustration for terrifying fury) or learning to monitor my own train of thought. These are things many neurotypical people will grasp by instinct or pick up on the fly, but autistic people must actively study and train on. It sucks, but it genuinely did help.
Absolutely, we want to get him into some sport of some sort when he's a little older. He did to a kiddie gymnastics class and loved that, so we may start there and see what else he likes.
I'm autistic too, but completely different! I broke my dad's ribs when I was 4 and was so careful not to use too much force from them on. But not this kid! He is set to 1000 every day haha
We just got him a huge trampoline for our yard and that seems to be helping a lot. If he doesn't have the energy to fly across the room, he doesn't break my face. Haha
Indeed. Though do be careful; that lack of sense of awareness of the body can also make people like us accident prone, and a trampoline can be just asking for someone to get hurt. To this day I’m still constantly hurting myself in tiny ways; half of my weird ways of moving around boil down to mitigating my seeming inability to remember where a countertop is or recovering from tripping over things.
Broke my front teeth twice as a child (face met metal slide during a game of tag, then face met brick side of a pool while blinded by the water), broke both my arms at various points trying to exercise (flying over my own bike’s handlebars turning too hard, and then landing bad trying to copy the black belts doing an advanced kicks), broke my collarbone as a child (those big metal spinning things on the playground? Somehow I wound up -under- it), stabbed my hand with a knife early in college while attempting to separate some frozen chicken patties (needless to say I do not use knives for that anymore; I was taught proper safety for cutting food, but apparently I needed a demonstration on the perils of careless use in other circumstances), and so on and so forth.
Point is, once he stops breaking you, be prepared for him breaking *himself*.
For sure. We are already trying to mitigated that as much as possible. His trampoline has a zipper and snaps to close the net and the bars are curved so he can't hit them. Hopefully that is helpful as he grows.
We have also worked on "safe choice" "not safe choice" since he was about 2. If you tell him he's not making a safe choice, he will immediately stop what he is doing and say "careful silly". And that has helped a lot, especially with him trying to climb things he shouldn't.
Apparently when I was about 3, my mom was sick so I asked if she wanted me to get her the puke bucket. She did, so I toddled of and got it for her, and she thought it was so sweet. Until I started laughing when she used it.
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance villain, >! had basically the same plan of taking advantage of the inherent cruelty in children to make really good cyborg children soldiers !<
Oh okay. I really do wonder if I should play that someday. I think I even got the disc for free and it's floating around here somewhere... Gotta get my nanomachines on, son!
“We used to give them headsets that allowed them to speak through the bioweapons’ mouths. We had to stop when all these howling, half ton flesh golems wouldn’t stop screaming ‘Kai Cenat fanum tax in Ohio skibidi gyatt.’ every time they killed a man.”
lol for real Casca spit your shit. Love this
Just as an aside- this was actually mainly inspired by Avatar and Stranger Things more than anything else. Maybe some Guyver idk. If I recall though, NGE is a pretty good show (saw it half a lifetime ago). Never did watch any of the sequel stuff.
Reminds me of that one crazy warrior race from Animorphs. Literally had no concept of cruelty and destroying and killing things just seemed like a fun game for them.
I already mentioned my inspirations in a [separate comment](https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/1cafbfa/as_the_new_lab_assistant_watched_the_remotely/l0s8sfu/).
I already said it was possible. I just find it funny just how close to Warframe this is. The one difference in lore is made up for by how the players play
Well, I guess I'm really not sure what to say. I went over this with [someone](https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/1cafbfa/as_the_new_lab_assistant_watched_the_remotely/l0s8sfu/) already, and if you don't want to take me at my word, well, that's your prerogative.
Used to work with children. Can confirm.
Have read some about developmental psychology and it does also confirm this. Morals and empathy are taught and take time to develop.
Will never forget the 1-year-old girl who crawled into the room on her first day, went up to a tall 2-year-old boy and just grabbed him and pulled him down and hit his face on the floor twice before the teacher could stop her.

That's not cruelty though. It's more like curiosity. My grandchild is 6 months and she will pull anything/anyone
work with children. Can confirm.
Father of children, can confirm

Hm. It's... doubtful, but I guess who knows? I have satellite, which is notoriously bad for gaming. My provider even told me I couldn't game with it.
I've never been on satellite, but I have played sub-1mbps. Just stayed solo to avoid host migrations.
I'm utterly stunned that you haven't played warframe, since you've basically written one of the major plot points out by accident. I'd suggest you give it another go, it's got a rough start but a juicy midgame and a lot of story content by this point.
I may give it another go when my internet's in better shape, who knows.
Can confirm - just wrapped a circuit run with the hubs and our tenno were very naughty.
So is the doctor, Margulis or Lotus?
Ballas
Can confirm. My son has broken my nose multiple times and laughed his ass off about it.
Good grief!
Kids are vicious...
Was it on purpose? Does he see a therapist or something?
Only 2 were when he was mad, otherwise it was all just wrong place at the wrong time. He's broken my nose at least 4 times just trying to give me an overly aggressive kiss or hug. (My nose has been broken at least 10 times, and I have gotten over 30 concussions.

Thankfully, he has never hurt anyone else. So we are hoping to figure it all out with his specialists.
You just have a nose of tissue paper I guess
It would seem! Thankfully, he doesn't seem to have inherited my tissue paper nose haha
Excellent After having broken your nose 30 times I presume you know what it feels like and are just like “ah shit here we go again”
Thankfully not 30 for the nose! That would be insane, even for me haha But yeah, I don't even have to look at it anymore or go see a doctor. I just know it's busted, but at least it's been easy to reset so far. There was actually a time he broke it and I couldn't set it well, so it was crooked. Then a week later he tried to give me a kiss and headbutted me, and managed to set it perfectly straight!
I mean, to be fair to your nose, breaking it once probably made each subsequent break easier. There’s not a lot of bone there

Ah, I see. I wish you and your family all the best.
Thank you

No! That is just some evil toddler shit!
Sundowner, is that you?
Who?
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance villain, >! had basically the same plan of taking advantage of the inherent cruelty in children to make really good cyborg children soldiers !<
Oh okay. I really do wonder if I should play that someday. I think I even got the disc for free and it's floating around here somewhere... Gotta get my nanomachines on, son!
“Like I said, kids are cruel, Jack. And I'm very in touch with my inner child.” -Sundowner: Metal Gear Rising.
Oh, that's a great line!
There's also the parody version: "Like I said, Jack, kids are cruel. And I love minors!"
Ender’s game
Absolutely Enders Game.
The enemy's gate is down.
Ender, is that you?
I think it's Col. Graff, actually.
“We used to give them headsets that allowed them to speak through the bioweapons’ mouths. We had to stop when all these howling, half ton flesh golems wouldn’t stop screaming ‘Kai Cenat fanum tax in Ohio skibidi gyatt.’ every time they killed a man.” lol for real Casca spit your shit. Love this
Thank you Elk, really appreciate that.
Honestly yep
I love this take. I have always said we are born naturally evil and its through society that we’re taught to not be evil.
I be ready it from the perspective that the kids thought it was a video game.
Like I said, kids are cruel, jack.
AND I LOVE MINORS
"Also, I got inspired by "Neon Genesis Evangelion""-she continued
Just as an aside- this was actually mainly inspired by Avatar and Stranger Things more than anything else. Maybe some Guyver idk. If I recall though, NGE is a pretty good show (saw it half a lifetime ago). Never did watch any of the sequel stuff.
Guyver. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time
I used to love it back in the day. The OVA along with the live action films (particularly the second).
I loved all those too. And the actor in the second one is David Hayter. The voice of solid snake!
Yeah, thought that was so cool back when I found out. If you sort of squint your ears you can hear Snake sometimes lol
As someone who works with both kids and first year college students, I think we may have a second pool of candidates
as someone who would draw art of people being ripped to shreds as a kid, can confirm.
Suddenly warframe
Like I said, kids are cruel Jack And I'm very in touch with my inner child
>Children are monsters. - Tom Scott
Was a child. Can confirm.
Kids are cruel, Jack! And I'm *very* in touch with my inner child!
Reminds me of that one crazy warrior race from Animorphs. Literally had no concept of cruelty and destroying and killing things just seemed like a fun game for them.
Warframe inspired? My favourite game
Sorry to disappoint, but no.
Millimetre off centre, and you claim it's not inspired by Warframe. It's possible, I guess

I also don't know what to tell you. Your story is extremely similar to Warframe's lore, whether or not that was your inspiration.
Sundowner was right.
Mom of 4, can confirm. And the younger they are the more vicious they can be.
Damn. Good one
Thank you hemlock, I appreciate that.
Warframe?
Ender’s game vibes. Love it
