I used to always use Minecraft for this. Sure, they can’t do everything immediately, but I put the game on peaceful and let them explore at their own pace.
I say “used to” because Luanti (formerly MineTest, an open source Minecraft Clone*) is finished and free.
(Okay, Luanti is a lot more than a Minecraft clone. But for this discussion that’s all one needs to know.)
Nice. Minecraft used to be my go to answer for a first WASD game, too.
Lately, I recommend Mineclonia on Luanti, because it’s free and has stronger optimizations supporting weak laptops and big multiplayer servers. (It’s a popular Free Open Source Minecraft Clone).
I remember those days, as well!
I’m with you.
Thankfully, corporate bullahit isn’t the only way to create a discovery algorithm.
I expect that we will have a diverse set of discovery algorithms available to opt into here, in a few years.
I always wonder about the people who drop off just before finishing the game.
That’s me. It used to be common for games to have a sharp ramp up in challenge at the end boss, and I often don’t have the time to get through that.
So I habitatually abandon games when I feel close to the end, and I watch the ending on a stream, instead of playing it.
I realize that minimal research could tell me which games are which, but even less research finds me a decent stream of the game ending.
Thanks!
Is also very very queer tho JSYK
That could be our new Lemmy slogan.
There’s a couple of them, I think.
I found this one:

Thanks!
Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?
My best guess would be some relatively passive notification stealing focus.
As reddeadhead mentioned, there’s specific “don’t steal focus” settings. I’ve had good luck with them.
