The World Tour mode in Street Fighter 6 also starts you off by easing you into the mechanics, giving you mini missions where you get to practice specific mechanics "safely". The dynamic controls which massively simplify inputs is also a godsend for people who are intimidated by quarter circle inputs and the like.
I don’t remember now much except these long chapters of “useless” whale facts. They stood out then and were so memorable I still vaguely remember them the most today. Just like how Tolkien could diverge from the story to tell the history of a single tree for a dozen pages. I “accidentally” read The Lord of The Rings because the French translations of the books had cool covers, and I had no idea what they were and were way above my level at the time but I loved them also.
Mellville was on another level when it came to the world building in Moby Dick, even for such a self contained story it felt completely immersive and real.
I really should read it again one day.
OpenAI services are available in Canada but as an individual, $27/mo for ChatGPT Plus and then paying per use for the API is kinda a hard sell for me.

Or when the Israel/Hamas war broke out, the number of propaganda ads from Israel/the IDF was outright disturbing. Most of them spewing the nonsense of Israel being "the holy ones" and they are fighting the "evil animals". Just repugnant rhetoric.
