I know they can be converted fairly easily to a respectable format but it's still irritating.

Learning by playing? Granted, most games are "just for fun" - but some games were more than that. They were - foremost - great games, but they also had educational value.

What are your memories of games that were both great and added some educational value? Here are some that had an impact on me beyond just the pure game experience.

Civilization - gave me a glimpse into history, and the basic evolution of technology and science.

Railroad Tycoon - was great for train nerds like me, learning about the history of the steam engine and its evolution to modern day trains.

Capitalism 2 - taught me a lot about economic principles, supply and demand, etc.

Sim Earth - not an easy game but an incredible simulation of a time before humans populated this rock, how nature impacts on species and life in general.

Colonization - a glimpse into how our world was shaped, not too long ago, what trades and skills were needed, how settlements grew.

Sim City 2000 - maybe being a mayor of a huge city isn't so easy after all? Maybe that's why heavy industry isn't bordering on luxury housing estates?

Der Patrizier (The Patrician) - a view into German trade and politics before the steam engine revolutionized everything.

King's Quest - as a placeholder for all adventure games that I played, including the early Infocom text adventures, helping me a lot to learn the English language.

What are your memories of games that were both great and added some educational value?

@AiPinfu2003 Why'd you have to make it seem so ominous? 😅

It's #WorldBackupDay!
A great time to learn about better ways to back up important things, like photos.

@Dongurihou It's difficult to choose only one, but I recently completed Persona 5 Royal and it's currently my favorite. 👍

Why are people paying for expensive coding courses when FreeCodeCamp exists on YouTube?

They cover full software engineering paths, taught by experienced professionals for free.

We’re living in the best time to learn.

It's super annoying how many websites these days require a cell number.
Not a VoIP number, but a cell number tied to a SIM.

I don't have a SIM in my phone. I don't have a cell number.

@AnthropicAI @OpenAI I'm looking at you. Not everyone has a cell number.
