South Park video game's difficulty level is directly tied to the skin color as well.

What's funny about that is the "difficulty slider" doesn't actually affect gameplay.

"Just every other aspect of your life."

I don't remember if it does in Stick of Truth, but it does affect some things in Fractured But Whole.

In true genie fashion, the only change in their life is that now, a single occasion where a racist person decided not to hold a door open for them, changes so that they do.

Genies are all about malicious compliance.

Genie: congratulations you are now a health insurance CEO! You will not know suffering for the rest of your days

I didn't see the eyes at first and though the mustache and beard were representing them, turning the genie into biblically accurate version

wouldve been more effective to just make him rich

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

easy is relative. all depends on how you see the world. while there is quantitative evidence for genetics to play a part in it, ease can be changed just as much by the person as by the environment.
