Rock Paper Shotgun's weekend thread spurs the usual round of gaming plans — but this week one writer is also drafting conversation starters for a two-year-old's birthday. Toddlers, it turns out, are easy to entertain with silly, gross-out prompts, while grown-ups can be oddly uncomfortable when those same lines are aimed at them.

  • Weekend thread: RPS asks readers what they’ll be playing over the next couple of days, inviting a mix of big releases and cozy distractions.
  • Birthday prep: the author is prepping light-hearted, toddler-friendly small talk to keep a party running smoothly.
  • Toddler vs. adult reactions: little kids eat up absurd questions, but parents often squirm when the same bits are directed at them.
  • Balancing acts: expect a blend of childcare duties and stolen gaming sessions — a familiar juggling act for many players this weekend.
