Finally! A tea for me, labeled with "the representation of World War II warships personified as teenage girls and young adult women with personality characteristics reflecting the history of each ship."

Finger Prince posted:I liked it better when it was called Super Mario Sunshine 😜 Serioustalk though, the deeper ones like car mechanic simulator and horrible muddy conditions truck driving simulator are probably genuinely good learning experiences. Like, when I was a kid I played "Life and Death", a horrifically difficult diagnosis-and-surgery simulation game, and consequently as an adult when people have mentioned stomach pain I have twice correctly told people to go to the hospital because it seems like appendicitis, and three times correctly said it seems like just gas, and zero incorrect diagnosis. As a kid I played a 2D top-down truck driving game "Juggernaut" way back in the day on a 48K Spectrum, and as a result I have at least a somewhat functional ability to back up with a trailer, that I would otherwise be just as bad as my wife at. (The stomach pain tip, for others, is if poking in the bottom right quadrant hurts a lot, and other poking does not, it's appendicitis. Bottom right and to a lesser extent bottom left may also be appendicitis. Poking not making it hurt significantly is gas. I don't remember what the other poke-based outcomes were, but I remember those two.) roomforthetuna fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Jul 24, 2022 |

ooh I played Life and Death as well! never tried to apply any of its lessons to the real world tho. also, seems like your social circle has a pretty high rate of appendicitis! at least relative to mine, which has featured no cases of it so far.

The main reason I remember the poking diagnostic technique is because the game had various sound effects of the patient going "argh, eek, ouch, agh" so it obviously encouraged you to keep poking repeatedly, until eventually (without sound effects) they would start saying "nurse, help!" and "stop abusing me!" and such. Also, weirdly I think the game was probably harder than actual surgery, because it was like "do a purse-string suture" which is a thing I would be able to do in real life but I never figured out how it wanted me to represent stitching 'around' a three dimensional tube from a two-dimensional interface and viewpoint. (Though conversely, the "now pop the organ out and stuff material under it and stop the bleeders" part was almost certainly easier than in real life!) |

i wonder if it was just dad bias towards downplaying any injury their child has, and not being bad at diagnostics. my dad used to always say something about "unless it's bleeding, or a bone is sticking out, walk it off" which really made accepting and getting help for mental illness stuff a bit trickier than it should have been.
