Tony hawk pro skater 2, played it often when it first came out and hearing about the 3/4 remake coming out soon reminded me of the games and it's been decades, I wanted to see if it holds up. It's showing some age in the fighter combo style tricks and arcade style levels, but the soundtrack is still good, and progression with unlocking stats and levels through goals is fun and wanting to beat a goal after failing a couple times keeps me coming back.
Valhalla Rising and Beyond the Black Rainbow are both low on exposition and focus a lot on building an ambiance around the wilderness or a false sense of nostalgia

I suspect this is going to be true of pretty much any publicly accessible social media in general, parental controls built into the app or browser user access controls for censoring, time limits, or keeping them on a family friendly instance seems to be the right move
It would have been around the time of the EverQuest release I got cable Internet, before that it was dial up shared with a frequently used house phone (11 people in the house). Mostly used dial up for web sites like geocities and forums and instant messenger chats (Yahoo, MSN, icq, etc).
It's a sub problem within the field to try to predict good enough values to default to, search terms like optimizing hyperparameter values minimizing a loss function
The first level of MegaMan x and good springs in fallout: New Vegas are really good examples of how to convey info to the player about how the game works and what you can do without pulling you out of the game itself into a separate tutorial
