There are so many things that go into whether a game feels responsive or not. Your experience could be explained by anything from access to stable Internet, to trends in game design philosophy, and vary from game to game based on implementation.
Here's one of my favorite GDC talks that looks at just one small part of what goes into making a game feel responsive: https://youtu.be/h47zZrqjgLc
In my lexicon, educators and teachers are not synonymous :3
But yeah, you are totally correct
This is just "what educators have known about education for decades" in meme format.
Different people do best learning in different ways. And different people learn different subjects at different rates. Grouping people my age, putting them all in lectures during the day and having them all do task work at home is not a good solution to education.
It was great when it was introduced, because it brought the majority of uneducated people up to a minimum level where they could read and do arithmetic. But compared to what we COULD be doing now that we know more and are better at it, this sort of industrial era "factory line" approach is idiotic.
And educators have known it for a long time now. Government just hasn't caught up
And this is why Tesla is a danger to everyone INCLUDING the people who could actually be saved by real, well-tested, extremely safe autonomous vehicles like Waymo et al.
TESLA IS NOT AUTONOMOUS DRIVING
ACTUAL AUTONOMOUS DRIVING IS SAFER THAN HUMAN DRIVERS
Fuck fuck fuck I hate this timeline so much. We could be saving lives but NOOOOOO we get this bullshit instead
No matter the veracity of the information?
I see. So anything you have not personally experienced is to be disregarded entirely?
There are some great recommendations in other replies already!
IMO the best YA content right now is actually coming out of Japan (where they're called Light Novels)
Some series worth checking out:
Don't let the titles fool you (especially that last one). A silly title will often lead to a deep and complex story only loosely related to the title.
The first three I named are some of my absolute favorites.
And this is just the fantasy stuff. If you're looking for sci-fi or rom-com, or something a bit heavier/darker, there are plenty more recommendations I can provide :)
I mean, I totally get it. There is just better stuff out there and it sucks that she got lucky when otherr, better authors don't
The issue I have with this line of reasoning is that there are equally whimsical, better written series that just didn't have good fortune to pop off the way HP did.
It's marketing. And cover art. And simple timing of fads. It sucks. And it funded a horrible person through pure happenstance
In all seriousness, this is what happens when you write novels without doing any world-building and just put down whatever seems "fun". The are sooooo many things in that series that make no sense once they are superceded by later plot devices. Rowling didn't think any of it through ahead of time and gave almost no thought to internal consistency with previous content when she wrote new things.
It's honestly a terrible series in most regards and it's kind of disappointing how popular it became.
Also she a trans-hating bigot. Fuck J.K. Rowling. Can't forget that part whenever discussing her or her work.
Sure, this is just an example of how complex "feel" can get in game development. The video includes several examples where player perception changes drastically from very minor gameplay design changes
