I think you're being too harsh on educators. The vast majority of educators I encountered went into the field to support children to create opportunities for them to thrive and grow.

It is a self-sacrificing profession that requires an unbelievable amount of commitment, and has uncountable factors working against it.

It is attacked by politicians, it is attacked by the general public, who feel they are experts on the profession because they went to school... It is attacked at the state level, and at the district level.

Teachers are fighting against turning kids into data points for college and career readiness, which view kids as cogs in the economic wheel, and not humans that have a civic duty to grow into their fullest selves.

You can hate on education all you like, but educators are the ones on the ground trying their best to make it something worthwhile.

There are just a lot of factors that are in play that prevent teachers from being able to teach and be teachers first and foremost.

I have a 1 TB microSD for my steam deck with Botocera loaded slap full! Love it!

When I say "crashed", I mean that the operating system became corrupted or unusable without any recovery options beyond formatting and a clean install.

It definitely tainted the game for me. I had just done Iki Island before, where the first 5 minutes are spent feverishly searching for your horse, hoping it's alive.

Then, the rest of the island allowed you to give the horse new abilities and new armor, only for me to come back for the beginning of the third act...
