Did your parents actually control what video games you played when you were a kid?

My mum didnt care about ratings, she didn't allow any modern shooters in the house though, even though she bought me Wolfenstein new order when i was still technically too young to buy it myself
Still confuses me

1996 is not a zoomer.

my parents didn't let me play M-rated games until i was 10, then they stopped caring. but they specifically didn't let me play doom.

no. i had to fight my dad for playtime because he would always be playing golf games. FUCK HALS HOLE IN ONE AND FUCK PGA TOUR

Never, thanks to that I was able to play things like Metal Gear Solid or Soul Reaver in their release year when I was 9~10 years old.

they don't do it because of morals, they do it so fewer retarded parents come back later in a huff and say wtf you didn't tell me it had all this stuff!!!

My dad bought me a NES and assumed its all the same shit on PC later. Little did he know.
>mostly played shooters and milsims in the 90s
refused to serve and am a total normie with job, kid, house and a vidya addiction

I played GTA 3, VC and SA as a kid. My parents didn't care what I played. My sister played them too.

no, but I controlled it
I thought the ratings were there for a good reason so I just played the games that were on my age or slightly above
I spent most of my childhood playing Spider-Man games, rayman 2 and emulated some nintendo games
I only started to play M rated games when I was like 14-15 years old but it wasn't because of my parents

>for years say I want a SNES or a Genesis
>parents always say no
>parents refuse to let me play Mortal Kombat at the arcade because it's violent
>end up spending more time at friends houses than my own because they have video games
>one year ask for a Playstation for Christmas
>end up getting a N64 instead because family
>still play the shit out of it
>old enough to start buying my own PC games
>finally playing PC ports of all those PlayStation games I've always wanted
>want to buy GTA3
>faggot working at GameStop refuses to sell it to me without my parents consent
>parents will never consent

Now I live in Japan and I haven't talked to my parents in 15 years. I stopped playing video games but never stopped hating my parents.

Nah, my dad in particular never tried to control any of the media I consumed. Grew up watching violent 80's and 90's action movies from a pretty young age.

I actually remember when I was a young teenager playing the first Leisure Suit Larry and getting my dad to help me with the age verification questions kek (didn't have home internet back then). And I know he saw some of the stuff in that game, but he just found it funny.

My parents didn't let me have GTA IV back when I was 12 and in first year highschool.

Every other game was okay to them, I even pointed out how Saints Row 2 (which they let me buy) was as bad/worse than GTA.
I think they just found it funny to mess with me and deny me from buying GTA.

I was the youngest of 4, by then they had stopped caring.

My own mother wouldn't even let me play Double Dragon.

My mom never cared much about what games I played. I mostly played Nintendo stuff, which makes it easy to see as child-friendly, but I think that she just didn’t understand any of it, so she let me do whatever. In fact, it was I that enforced the age ratings because I was (usually) such a goody two-shoes; one time I asked my mom for Peter Jackson’s King Kong for the DS and almost had a breakdown when I later realized that it was +12, me being 11.

Also, I had an absent and abusive father who one time refused to buy me Soul Calibur IV for the Gamecube because it was rated +16 (even though its content wasn’t that “mature”) and I was 9 or 10 at the time. That was some bullshit.

Don’t hate your parents, hate that faggot cashier.

How old are you now? When did you lived in Japan und why?

Nope, I got GTA2 when I was 7 or 8. It was my first PS game other than Ridge Racer 4, which came with it.

Now I'm 33. I travel all the time because my parents never let me go anywhere as a kid.

I'm genuinely baffled when people say they miss being a kid. Having freedom is so much better.

I only wanted it because it had Link in it. I was a simple kid.

they didn't care as long as i did good in school

That was Soul Calibur II.

My parents were old and didn't give a shit, as it should be.

played doom when I was 6

anything with war or killing was a okay

The only time my parents gave me shit for playing vidya was when it affected my education.
One time my dad walked in my room while as was playing Modern Warfare 2 without me noticing him until I heard him cuss behind me. I asked him whats up and he told me the game looks great and asked if he could give it a go.
He regularly cycles through modded CnC Generals Zero Hour, Yuri's Revenge, Company of Heroes 1&2, And every CoD title after Modern Warfare now.

me neither. but I do remember when my dad bought our first VCR and he brought it over to my Uncle's house and he put in an Andrew Dice Clay tape and my uncle looks at me and was like "You sure he should be watching this?" (I think I was in 3rd grade) and my dad was like "He hears worse on the school yard." My dad was actually wrong about that, but from the very next school day on after that, it was true for everyone in my Elementary School.

Keked

Comfy

My parents didn't give a fuck.

i was allowed to play whatever i want. although i didn't get a 360 until 8th grade, so i stuck with E and T games until then, then i got into halo, fallout 3 and mass effect and shit was so tight.
96 is one of the fringe years. not early enough for millennial, possibly not late enough for zoomer.

why does this image scare me.
Do I see a future of gaming where dads get a baby holder that also acts as a controller?
This is a sign of the obvious people!

It might be because you schizophrenic. Next you'll say

You'll think it's ironic and funny but it is not, you have a serious mental health issue.

My mum wouldn't get me Conker's Bad Fur Day. Other than that, not really.

My parents wouldn't buy me Smash Bros or Zelda when I was around 8 or 9 because they were rated 12+.

>bragging about being 30+ on Yea Forums

When i was 15 i took the time to explain the esrb to my mom, but i think she didnt gave a fuck.
I wanted to buy GTA VC but the dude at the store cucked me, so i asked my mom to get it for me.

My mom also had this weird stigma about first person games, and was fine with Devil May Cry (maybe because it was fine to shoot demons) but she saw me playing TF2 and freaked out that I would become interested in guns and shit.

only game my parents did not let me play was kula world couse i got so frustrated by it

I remember when I was like 4/5 my mom wouldnt let me play GTA2 but a couple of years later she'd let me play 3/VC/SA, that was the only time I wasnt allowed to play a game because of its rating.

My parents didn't care. I played all Resident evil and other 18+ games despite beeing like 12 years old. But once i played a crappy 2d game with fucking dinosaurs eating each other. There wasn't even blood or any gore. My mother saw THAT and thought: Hey thats pretty brutal, stop playing that! I swear to god a was mad as fuck.

I control what my kids play. I make it a base on ESRB, then make exceptions for certain games if I feel the content is fine despite the rating. Like Halo is M but I let my oldest start playing that at 13. But not CoD or Saints Row as in your image.
He's turning 15 next year, I'll probably turn off all restrictions on his account then.

Younger siblings are usually handed more and are given less attention. Most of them act like that but I'm not exactly sure why.

t. younger brat

>but she saw me playing TF2 and freaked out that I would become interested in guns and shit.

She wasn't worried about you throwing jars of piss at people?

At the randomist times they would. A big one was when the sims hot date came out pretty much every parent we knew bard their kid from buying it. My one friend was about to have a cross,burned on his lawn cause his parents got it. His parents where both super smart engineers so they taught him how to burn and pirate games. He ended up burning me a copy for hot date and I had to smuggle it in my house.

My father refused to buy me Jak 3 because the box said 12+ and I was 11 even though he bought me 1 and 2 way before that.
I never understood why.

I think I was playing Scout so nah. Maybe she was worried that I would try and double jump to school and twist my ankle

The only game my parents wouldn't allow me was GTA 3, probably because of the sex and drug content, but plenty of other M rated titles were fine like Halo, or even the dumbass Southpark game for N64.

My parents didn't give a shit on what video games I played.
What was more important is that I wasn't listening to nigger music, watching M(nigger)TV, and other nigger related things. My older siblings all did and turned out to be meth heads.

>I think I was playing Scout so nah.

Even worse, you might start throwing bottles of cum at people.

Finally I have a reason to post this screenshot.
though deep down I do agree 1996 is hard to classify as either, maybe you could say proto-zoomer

Attached: Screenshot_2019-05-24-21-11-31.png (720x1280, 257K)

I generally self censored. My parents didn’t give a shit once I was 10, but I knew better than to buy a game with titties or something that would ruin my freedoms if they found out.
Once I was halfway through middle school I figured that I could get away with sex scenes and shit and started playing games like The Witcher and GTA.
Hands off parenting works and gets the same results as actively controlling their media if your kid has common sense. Most kids don’t have that though

Was discouraged from playing FPS games but I've seen someone played doom when I was 7 and I turned out fine. Got into both starcraft and HL deathmatch later.

Based AND woke.

At what age did you start travelling the world and how did you get the funds?

Back in my early years of college I dated this girl from a hyper religious family. One weekend we secretly went out of state with a few of her siblings to meet her eldest brother. This guy was the weirdest shit I've seen ever. He looked like /pol/s wet dream of the ubermesh. Tall, golden blonde, fit, sky blue eyes. But he lived like a fucking definition of a super weeb NEET. Anime posters everywhere, hentia books, lewd figures and a total mess. At first I thought her parents just secretly disowned him his whole life but the story is even stranger.

My gf said he was the perfect child. Smart, kind, always obedy their parents, knew the bible in and out. Like he was Jesus 2.0. But apparently, ever since he was like 6 he had a secret hatred for his parents and life. He had been secretly planing to jump ship the moment he turned 18. He convinced his parents to let him go away for college at Christian,college a few hours away. He apparently forged a ton of documents and lied out his teeth about getting accepted to this college he didn't even apply for. He somehow was able to fake staying a week in the dorms to a college he didn't even go to. The moment his parents left him alone for good he packed everything back up and moved over a state in secret. All the money he was given for college he just kept for himself, moved in to a house with his "friends" and used the rest to buy all the video games and anime he could never have and got a job at a pizzeria.

I'm sure you can guess his parents were fucking infuriated when they found out. One of the younger siblings spilled the beans that he had been secretly talking and visiting them and they beat the shit out of her, resulting in a full on family war. They never found out where he lived and he never told how he met the friends he stays with.

Aside from the miniwar all of them claim that their parents never overly beat them, abused or molested them or were that evangelical. They where just a regular religious house hold.

I was finally able to M rated games when I turned 14. Basically after my parents saw Halo 2 wasn't nothing but F-bombs, sex, and guts they stopped caring and I could play anything.

I have no idea why so many parents in the early 2000s thought M rated games were going to be so graphic.

absolutely based, but off topic

With being born in 96 I think whether to be classified under Boomer or Zoomer taste falls in where your family stood economically. The less well off families would've gotten the older cheaper consoles instead of the newer ones, where as better off ones would get the new releases. I'm 96 and I grew up playing SNES and 64 with at my cousin's for the most part, we never got the GameCube or Wii untill 3-4 years after their launch.

Nice story that definitely happened faggot

my mom never gave a fuck, I could play games like San Andreas or God of War and she wouldn't say a thing. my dad saw me playing Manhunt 2 and he went apeshit and broke the disc in half. ironically, my dad was very violent despite never playing videogames and my mom used to play Mortal Kombat 2 at the arcades and was chill as hell

Kind of, yes. I was 12 in 2001 and there were pg13 movies and a ton of games I couldn’t get. What’s funny is I was able to convince my parents to let me buy Code Veronica because the enemies were monsters and not humans. I was able to buy Unreal tournament too because I convinced them the enemies were ‘bots’. I created a server and showed them that I could adjust the total amount of robots I would play with. The one game they gave me the most trouble with was Shenmue, because it had the ‘strong language’ rating lol

False story

They only limited how much I was allowed to game per day. They didn't care what I was playing.

>Tall, golden blonde, fit, sky blue eyes.
Everything /pol/tard aren’t, I kinda feel a little bit sorry but not so much.

They hardly ever said anything. Dad let me play Half-Life when I was 5 so he didn’t give a shit nearly as much as my mom did. Which was hardly at all.

Are you being sarcastic?

Is your stupid gf a pale slut?

Yes, but I never really wanted them anyway.
The one exception was Primal Rage. They didn't care, since they were just dinosaurs. Every kid knows dinosaurs were bloody.

30 year old boomer here.
My mother bought me an atari when i was about 5, after that it was sega master system then mega drive, which all had pretty child friendly games. I don't think she ever bought me an M rated game until GTA2 on the ps.
I used to go to an arcade down the road to play killer instinct and street fighter when i was 5-8, that was about the extent of violent games i grew up playing.

My parents only rule was no nudity but even then they almost never supervised my play sessions. It helps that I never acted out or talked back or even talked at all

My mom just came home with manhunt one day, we didn't ask her to buy a new game for us or anything she just brought it home one day which leads me to believe she didn't actually buy it

Poor baby
His father is dudebro

The first game I played was Super Mario Bros. My father unexpected bought a NES and SMB, duck hunt included. What a time to be alive.

No and I really appreciated it since I came from a heavy christian family. The only time it was ever brought up was when I bought Spawn: In the Demon's Hand on Dreamcast and even then it was really just a raised eyebrow. My parents were chill as hell.

I was 15 when I told my parents about Skyrim, said it was M-rated, and asked if I could get it.
They said yes, took me to the local mall, I bought it and we had lunch in the food court. My dad looked at the game case, saw it was “M-rated” and started sperging out with my mom despite me telling them the day before it was M-rated. They made me immediately return it, then screamed at me at home claiming you could “rape people” in Skyrim and that that was what I wanted from the game.
Got Skyrim four years later, only to find out its not even good.

i grew up watching robocop, predator, ect.
so no.

What, you mean like she shoplifted it?

I'm not saying she did, but she would never just randomly buy us games, we'd have to wait until christmas or birthdays

Not that user, but my mother was bipolar and BPD and would shoplift and steal from her "friends" (guys she was fucking) constantly. she once stole an N64 and a bunch of games from the son of a guy she was fucking and gave it to us for Christmas. Of course we didn't realize any of this until much later in life.

my parents didn't let me play anything with guns until I was in middle school because they wanted me to understand that people didn't reappear after you shoot and kill them irl
it was pretty silly because it's pretty obvious that that isn't the case but they had good intentions

Damn man, you and your parents are fucking retards. But being 15 means you have a job and you can go to the local mall alone without retarded daddy und mommy...

She's never committed a crime before my dad was the criminal so my guess is that she got it from a friend who took it away from their kid after seeing how violent it was

Your mother was a dirty fucking thief of a slut. How old was she and how many niggers did she fucked? Did she atleast loved you guys?

The one she was banging right user?

friend from work, she was already remarried by that time

My parents didn't let me play Castlevania because it had "anti-christian content".

They also told me that playing GTA would make me a criminal and that playing Bayonetta would make me marry a whore.

Attached: 1445747400811.png (546x432, 283K)

So she cheated on her new husband right? What kind of work did your slut mother do?

They didn't have to worry, I didn't start getting video games outside of birthdays and Christmas until I was 15 and could get the money myself. My dad promised me a gamecube for my 12th birthday and even that was a fucking struggle to get because my mom didn't like to spend money on me.
After that, the only game I had was Wind Waker unless I could get scrape together 20-30 dollars to get a Player's Choice game.
I had a PS2 as well but my brother kept selling our games for weed.

Does anyone wants to hear my story?

Not really

The only thing my parents gave a shit avout me playing was Manhunt and that was more of a "don't play it around your younger brother" thing.

Does it involve video games?

No.

>I live in Japan
based
>I haven’t talked to my parents in 15 years
cringe

Yes. Mom was strict about games choices so I was not allowed to play FPS games and most RPGs, especially Diablo (not because of devils and such but because main character becomes Diablo himself at the end).

And so, nearly all my childhood games were various RTS, TBS, economic or city builders. Im afraid this left serious imprint on my psyche. Combine that with my mother approach like when I was crying about something and she was like "emotions wont help you solve this problem, analyze what you can do to remove obstacles".

>tfw mommy comes home with fucking manhunt out of nowhere

holy based and metal

My parents were super religious and didn't even let me play LEGO Star Wars because they deemed it too violent.
I shit you not.
I had to hide games from them that I knew they didn't want me to play. Got discovered a few times, at which point my games were thrown away and I was banned from playing any for a while.

Jokes on them. Now their religious beliefs are in shambles, they had a divorce, and in my teens I could play whatever the fuck I wanted in front of my father's face (mother moved away) and he couldn't say shit. He tried stopping me a few times but couldn't since I went through a massive growth spurt and was now a big lad. So much for your belief in God, bitch.
Things are even better after moving out because I don't have to see his ugly boomer face ever again.

I wasn't allowed to get the first CoD game when I was 10-12, can't remember exactly how old I was. Apart from that, no real issues. I never tried to get GTA as I just played it at a friend's house though.

Yeah but my friend's parents didn't, so I'd go spend the night over there so we could rent leisure suit Larry and look at porn on the computer with internet in his room

I tricked my parents into buying me Conkers Bad Fur Day when I was 11/12. They bought me GTA3 on release but it was quite a big deal. Since then it didn't matter too much. But I only ever wanted good games like DMC. I didn't grow up with military shooters apart from A.R.M.O.R.I.N.E.S. By 15 I had a reasonable enough beard so I could buy San Andreas myself.

Yeah. Then I turned 14 and asked my mom for Call of Duty for Christmas and I got it.

Yes

pls reply

Sure go on.

At which age did you move out?

Answer me you worthless son of a degenerate party slut crazy thief of a whore mother.

Yes. There was always that faggot GameStop employee who told them in vivid detail how the game contained gore sexual content etc. I think they did this after the news sensationalized gta and it’s effects on kids.

Nah I mostly played my older brother's games CIA-kun, Genesis/Mega Drive stuff for the most part
I remember my dad brought home Resident Evil 2 one day when I was like 6 for us to play but I couldn't get past the first screen
I did play a lot of Mortal Kombat tho

I remember we had a black market going on. Kids who had older brothers bought them games and we would trade them around. In sixth grade I let my friend borrow my south park movie for free because I wasn’t a jew

My dad was the only one who ever gave me any grief over playing FPS or otherwise violent games, but he never really did anything more than complain over it. So I basically grew up playing GTA Vice City, Postal 2 and the like.
I would say the video games didn't really do much damage to me, as opposed to something like having access to virtually every type of pornography available online since the age of 11. Now that's what really fucked me up.

the only reason i can think of was the godly ad campaign

?
?

Same. I can practically only get off to women getting knotted by dogs now

Nah, they didn't care what I was playing. If I asked them for a game they'd buy it for me and my brothers. Sometimes they would walk in while I was massacring people in some FPS campaign and they'd sit down and ask what's going on and say it must be nice to be a voice actor.

Although, they were very weird in regards to bringing me up. They took away my consoles so I would study and do work, which was the right thing to do in retrospect. They let me keep my handhelds however and I was able to play vidya over the holidays such as summer and christmas break.

When it came to things like movies or tv shows, they were a bit iffy. Sometimes they wouldn't let me watch 18+ films/tv and other times they wouldn't care. They would argue and swear a lot but if I was caught even saying anything they'd shout at me to watch my language. They'd let me use the internet but when they found out I was talking to people on youtube streams they would get angry and forbid me from using it.

what in the actual fuck is wrong with Americans? Americans are the worst parents, I swear to God.

I mean when an American says the word 'christian', a strange obsession with Americans, they don't even mean 'christian' they mean 'christian-conservative'

Not at all.
The rare times I asked for a game I usually got it, no questions asked about it.

The only game my mom showed any objection to was Bully. She'd go "Why would they make this? Bullying is horrible".

But because I read previews and interviews I told her "No I actually help fight against bullies, trust me"

She basically dropped any negativity to the game and no longer bothered. My mom was seriously lax when it came to me and videogames

they never really gave a shit, dad had a rant when he saw me playing The Punisher with its execution scenes but nothing ever came of it

The only thing my parents gave a shit about was if I had the volume too loud, or if they wanted to use the living room I had to fuck off outside because we only had one tv

My parents were both played vidya. Mum introduced me to survival horror and RPGs like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy, Parasite Eve, Dragon Quest and my dad FPSs and TPSs like Doom , Blood Quake, Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, MDK.

Mine were pretty stupid when it came to games. They'd buy me & my siblings fighting games, see that people FIGHT each other in FIGHTING GAMES, and then they hid the game in a closet and stopped caring when we found it after 3 days of looking.
Didn't help that they were cheapskates either. Most games we had were arcade/sonic collections for the gamecube.

Super late reply, but at 20.

My dad let me buy Mad World when I was 16

No. They bought me whatever.

My dad bought us DOOM because it looked cool. Mom laughed at Mortal Kombat III because she thought it was silly that people had 6 legs.

My parents couldn't give a shit, i remember telling my mom about the Vice City porn set that you can buy and she either didn't listen or didn't give a shit. I also remember playing gm_ragdollslaughter and my dad walking in and asking me to "put that guy in that machine" and similar.

Mom banned me from playing violent video games and went ahead to hide games like Shadowman 64 I was like 9 when my grandma bought me it She wasn´t too good at hiding though, I always found it. Once I got a PC, she gave up on that.
During one of my "searches" I actually found a loaded revolver in the dresser, very high up, used a chair to get up there. Thought it was a toy gun. Glad I was a weakly little kid and wasn´t able to pull the heavy double-action trigger on that POS cheapo revolver.I might have killed someone by accident otherwise

Cool, me at the age of 24.

Your mom was right imao. It’s fucking silly that some people has 6 legs instead of 2.

They let me go up one tier. Could play T rated games when I was 10 but couldn't play M rated stuff until I was 14.

I don't know if they cared but I sneaked GTA past them anyway
I used to play with the HUD off and convinced them it was just a racing game when they were around

Not until my mom walked in on my first playthrough of Conker Bad Fur Day and it was the bee and flower scene. She then threw away every game that was rated T or higher. All that wasted money. My Dad still bought me games, but told me to hide them when I wasn't playing them.

All that wasted Value.

Men, what dumb stupid bitch mother do you got, poor user.

Should thank your mother for being the one logical woman in the world

Fucking whore mother

I really didn't start owning any vidya until I was 9 and even then I would tell my parents to chill out and remember that this is all fiction
Seriously did parents back then have no idea about the reality-fiction split?
t. born in 1997

Dad didn't care. He let me play whatever he had on his PC

Mom wouldnt let me play any M rated games until I was an adult so I had to order them online and hope they'd arrive when they're out of town/asleep and play them late at night

My mum thought it was illegal to let me play games with too high an age rating (maybe it is, I still don't know since she thinks so many random things are illegal) but my dad would just buy me them anyway. I remember her crying on X-Mas because he bought me a 15 rated Tomb Raider game when I was like 12 because she thought it was a serious crime.

Yes, she got extremely pissed when she found out I played an FPS for the first time, some WWII game I think. Not even allowed to touch Mortal Kombat on our Genesis.
However, she also borrowed NGE from the library (a complete box set) and both me and my 10 year old sister watched Asuka naked in a bathtub and the Eva ripping apart and eating that angel. Assumedly she though it was just another kids cartoon.

Gotta love boomer parent logic
>it's animated
>so it's for kids
this is how a whole generation was introduced to anime lol

she wouldnt let me play crime games or games with demons. That was the limitation.

All they cared about is if it affected my grades and performance in school. So besides my freshman year in one class, they never really had an issues with whatever I played regardless of how violent it was.
They're both pretty chill honestly. Always show them my gratitude by taking care of them as much as I can.

First game my mother bought me was GTA 3. I was maybe 6.

No, my mom used video games to keep me occupied. I played video games non stop.

yeah kinda, my parents didnt have problems with T games if it was kind of cartoony but more realistic shit they didn't want me playing.

no M games tho.

I misread the OP, I also could play whatever I wanted. My mom just wanted me to leave her alone.

It was also because she didn't see the show. Most of the time she had seen us watch Pokemon and other saturday morning anime blocks and they were kid friendly, but during that time she wanted to watch violent/sexual adult shows and giving us DVDs from the library of Evangelion, Cardcaptor Sakura, R.O.D., and some other random anime to watch on the crappy basement DVD player kept us out of there while she was watching them. Watched the entirety of Eva down there, it was the first time I heard the phrase "fanservice" and I was extremely confused by the ending and the Leliel episode.
And then played some Sonic 2 right after on the Genesis.

I bought my own games and didn't give a shit. Then this ONE time, I must have been 13 or 14, I go in a shop with my mom and go to buy Vampire : Redemption on PC. Out of nowhere, this faggot clerk goes "hum mam this game is 18+". My mom started hesitating to let me buy it. Then I told her lmao wtf and bought it anyway.

Now that I think about it, this game doesn't even have anything 18+ in it. No sex, no strong language, just vampires kicking each other's butts.

Parent's were conscious of shit like GTA but generally didn't care. My mum was usually interested in the games i played and usually liked watching. It's still weird to think that a lot of mum's i knew at the time had no interest but mine was smashing Castlevania on the DS

As long is didn't have boobies I could play pretty much everything after the age of ten. Before that it was as long as it didn't have boobies or swearing

It's literally about a man hired by the Catholic church to kill the servants of satan. Why didn't you tell them that?

No, my exquisite taste in games was never challenged. I only got in trouble for renting Carlito's Way from the library.
