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.

He was later rejected by his family and ended up homeless and struggling.

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.

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

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

wouldve been more effective to just make him rich

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.
