Time preference may be one of the most important things we can teach kids (to the extent it can be taught)

Yea one of the best lessons from either music or sports instruction at an early age: it takes time to git gud and reap the rewards

I studied the cello for years, but I think I learned this more from video games than from anything else.

Hades does this very explicitly, so much do that I would encourage someone who’s in a rut to play it bc it incepts you with “it’s ok to fail, you’ll do better the next time”

yo yes hades is maybe the most failure-friendly game i’ve ever played and i think it actually helped me with this a bit
ori and the will of the wisps mechanically is even friendlier in terms of the generous autosaves but when i fail in ori i still feel like a stupid idiot whereas when i fail in hades i’m like “welp now i know better for next time, and also hell yeah time to flirt with dusa again”

there are some frustrating parts of ori (the spider boss in particular) where i failed repeatedly in a way that was super opaque to me and i had to just guess what to do differently. never felt like that even once in hades. it feels very clear why i died each time
