In Europe, Immortals of Aveum was the 469th best-selling game of 2023. Now, No.469 isn't necessarily a bad spot.

It is a AAA fantasy shooter created by a 100-person dev team, led by a former Call of Duty creative director and published by EA.

It's mentally discouraging if you can't see a path to get to your goal from where you currently are. Much of human growth as we grow and mature is learning how to "operationalize" - how to break down large seemingly-impossible tasks into smaller, doable tasks. For a small child that might be learning that "clean your room" actually means "put your toys in the toy chest, put your shirts in this drawer, put your pants in this drawer, and make your bed".
