Fuck your decimal system. Dozenal is the most intuitive number system. Arithmetic is so much easier to learn in dozenal and you can even count higher on your hands if you use phalanges instead of fingers. Base 10 is a crap number system. It's barely composite, it only has two prime factors.

For me it would also be a matter of pride. If I dismissed all these things with the thought they're identical, but I cannot even name them, how can I in good faith claim to know them well enough to make such judgements? I would think myself arrogant and shallow. I'm far too prideful to think myself arrogant, and so I'm too prideful to dismiss something from a place of ignorance. Surely if the kid actually knows the names of the things and I don't, the kid's opinion must hold more weight than mine. I would only attack my loved one's interests from a place of certain understanding. I also can't understand having so little pride as to think as you describe.

There is no amount of exhaustion that could persuade me not to learn the name of my loved one's favourite toy for years on end.

There's plenty of people renting out properties on airbnb all year round. And yes, they're landlords. These are perfectly good houses someone could live in, but instead they're used for tourism and money, and not even the kind of tourism money where the hotel owner is actually responsible for cleaning and the full cost of the property. A proper hotel is better for society than a hundred full time airbnbs.

If experiencing the world through fresh eyes isn't one of the main points of having a kid, what are we even doing as a species? How can you not be infected by a little one's curiosity about a changing world and learn along with them? I'm childfree and I still understand that much. How can someone choose to have kids and not want to share their kid's eagerness to learn?

I think it's a shame that they improved the game. CDPR claims to have satirised the objectification of trans bodies for profit, but the way they've done so is by objectifying trans bodies for profit. It's not actually a satire or critique, it's a trope played straight, and that's harmful. One of the winners of their cosplay contest was a cis woman who shoved a glowing neon dildo down her pants, and they posted her cosplay on twitter to congratulate her. I liked the fact that the game responsible for these controversies was bad. I want people to have negative feelings associated with a game that does this, and a negative image of a company that does this.

So how long's it gonna take them to break this promise too?

I didn't understand that as a kid and I still don't understand it. Why would you take so little interest in what your kids like? I don't even have kids and I still know who Mr Beast is. I can't imagine having people I love, living in my house, who are into this stuff and not knowing all about it. The only way this kind of parental apathy can possibly make sense to me is if those parents just don't love their kids. It doesn't make sense to me.

Someone who needs to carry things. I think you could fit a fair few Easter eggs in there

Ah, sentient magic and kuva, that makes sense, thanks.

No, it's really hard to go to America.

Gonna buck the trend of beautifully produced games with serious stories here and say MAGICKA. Magicka is a multiplayer PvE game where you can craft spells however you like on the fly, and friendly fire is enabled. This results in utter chaos. Players constantly kill each other, both accidentally and on purpose, the battlefield is full of absolutely random spell effects from everyone's spells, messed up spells result half the time in accidental suicide and the other half of the time in new absolutely devastating combos, and nobody is entirely sure what's going on in the story.

This is ludonarrative synchronicity, of course, because Magicka's story is a comedy about a bunch of underprepared incompetent wizards exploring a universe of mediaeval fantasy satire and slapstick. It's great!
