I think corporate uses these for training

Low key though maybe there should be an open source game version for basic social and life skills. Like a combo between Stardew Valley with the Sims Basic needs bars (oooh display it as Maslow's Pyramid) but a visual novel with little minigames like you gotta turn the knob to turn the oven off before you walk away.

Social:

  • how to get needs met from strangers (shopping, civic tasks)
  • how to make small talk / interact with acquaintances
  • how to set and keep boundaries in close personal relationships.
  • intimate partner relationships
  • how to move people between those relationship levels / detect which level they have you in

Life skills:

  • cooking and food safety
    • preparing dry pasta / rice / beans
    • preventing food spoilage
    • foods that need to be cooked in a specific way for safety (mostly but not exclusively meat)
    • oven and microwave safety
  • Cleaning
    • sanitationn of food prep areas (preventing mold / house pests)
    • sanitation of bedding / relaxation areas
    • basic organization / separating areas by energy level and usage (keep food / nonfood areas separate)
    • washer / dryer safety
  • hygiene and bathing
    • hand hygiene
    • wash your genitals front to back (more important for women but also men).
    • dental hygiene
  • basic health
    • basic diet (high fiber, low sugar, vitamin c, etc)
    • hydration
    • basic exercise types and safety (cardio, strength, flexibility)
    • sleep hygiene
    • basic types of illness / injury and when to see a doctor
    • OTC medication usage / reading a medication label
    • emotional hygiene (recognizing and naming emotions / mindfulness)

Optional DLCs for specific situations like cultural quirks and specific body stuff like hair types, sex ed (pregnancy / STD prevention is separate so the fucking puritans will still let their kids play the base game).

If people are gonna let ipads raise their kids maybe they could actually learn something, LOL. Look I'm tired of having to teach patients these things on top of their specific illnesses like diabetes OK. They just found out their body is trying to kill them it would be nice if they already knew how to wash their hands. I would love to help write this game if somebody wants to help with the backend.

As someone with worse than average social ability, I would like this.

i want to disagree with you on some of this, but then again i've met some of my inlaws. they've had anxiety dreams where angels appeared to them to tell them to pay rent and that was the first time anyone mentioned it was their responsibility, explaining some evictions.
