    If the average user has to interact with a command line interface, EVER, as anything but a truly desperate last resort, with someone holding their hand the whole way through, they’re probably gonna give up and never wanna look back.

    A lot of people barely know how to copy and paste, or don’t even know what the phrase “right click” means.

    When I did some work from home training a year ago, I looked like a goddamn wizard for knowing how to manage browser tabs and put folders on my bookmarks bar.

    TLDR: It needs to just work for people that don’t know jack shit about using a computer, which in a lot of cases it just doesn’t.






  • I think I pretty quickly came to the conclusion that I was effectively being punished for understanding the normal material more easily than my classmates, and I didn’t get why my “gifted and talented” work was necessary, since it was, to me, bonus material, and not even interesting bonus material.

    A core memory of mine is after showing up one time without an assignment done, my teacher decided to go around the room asking what everyone wanted to be when they grew up. All my G&T classmates said standard kid answers like doctor, lawyer, firefighter, whatever. Not being a smartass, I gave the genuine answer that, because I really liked Taco Bell, and there was a taco bell in walking distance, I’d be happy to work there and get some free Taco Bell.

    Teacher called my parents.

    How the fuck was I supposed to know giving a real, and in hindsight significantly more attainable answer was unacceptable? We were in elementary school, so why the hell would I know at that point that basic food service is basically non-viable in America?




  • Mini Metro and Mini Motorways are pretty chill.
    Both Katamari REROLL games.
    Pretty much every Humongous Entertainment game.
    DREDGE and WORLD OF HORROR if you want an exercise in slow-paced creepy bullshit tolerance.
    Jet Set Radio is probably another solid choice, just for the music and aesthetic.
    Beat Hazard for vibing to your music and some crazy flashy visuals. 2 has support for a bunch of major music streaming platforms, including YouTube.
    Also like any porn game you can get down with.
