I got mine a comic book which introduces making simple games in mit scratch. The kid loved the comic, read it multiple times. We sat together and entered the game, had a lot of fun changing the characters, and never did that again (I'm not pushing). The computer is still a boring thing dad does for work.

It doesn't help that I can't explain what I'm doing on my computer on the few times the kid bothers to ask. I'm writing a program that transforms this wall of text into that spreadsheet 🥱
