   @b0rk @zkat I remember trying to show a non-gamer in my family a bit about what I was doing in Final Fantasy VII, and they got totally stuck on the idea of HP. I'd taken it entirely for granted, but the concept was completely foreign to them.

     @zkat some things i can think of:

     - controller conventions? like on my steam deck I think “b" often means "go back"
     - the idea of like learning an enemy’s "patterns" so that you can predict what they're going to do
     - i feel like there are a bunch of melee vs ranged weapon conventions, like how melee weapons hit harder but then you need to be closer to the enemies
