Obligatory tutorials. Make it a choice.
QTE “final bosses”. Seemed to be a much bigger problem in the PS3/360 era.
“Open world” or “Sandbox” games that don’t care about your progress, where it’s painfully obvious that your actions don’t matter at all. Yes, this is mostly about Starfield
Games where you can win by a landslide but the computer/story goes “Hah, you were just lucky!”

If it would be available in stores like nintendo, I doubt people there would be much issue regarding high price.
Depends. I still remember when the PS4 price was unveiled in Brazil. Back then, it cost the equivalent of ~1700 dollars

Kinda? I usually drift about how the hell we even reached our current situation from the beginning of the universe; how, despite being a huge collection of cells and bacteria, we understand ourselves as a single unit

- Comment on What happens to cult leaders in prison? 3 days ago:
They probably won’t repent and will simply continue to use bullshit rhetoric for when they get out of jail. I recall watching a documentary about one of these cults, don’t remember the name, but it got some pretty rich women in it and the cult leader was abusing all of them.
After being jailed and everything being exposed, some people who were into it still wanted to defend the leader
- Comment on Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate? 3 days ago:
I suspect that piece of the bible is carefully ignored in the greediest churches. It’s not like the faithful read the fucking thing anyway

I think the 2 last points are what really end up making it such a success with kids - low attrition to start and lots of different games in one place. It takes 2 clicks to go from a parkour race to a pet care sim.
When you’re targeting kids, your graphics should be easy to understand. Bright colors, simple shapes, it’s enough. If you think about it, those graphics wouldn’t be too different from what a kid can usually draw.

Pretty sure Club Penguin only let you choose from a predetermined list of ready phrases, it worked well afaik. Roblox could do that, but something something engagement

Yeah, nothing says “this person will repay their loans” like looking at their face and nothing fucking else.

It’s a real shame that pretty much no place bothers with putting historical context to the bible when teaching about it. Would’ve been great if christian churches did that

RIP Kolanaki’s SNES
I loved Secret of Mana and on several playthroughs, the hardest boss, for me, has always been that damn tiger in the witch’s castle. When it zig-zagged like a spike ball, the chances of getting wiped were huge. One hit = unconscious.
