I learned how to navigate by compass and map from Arma on the account of you kind of need to, to play certain game modes.

I have never learned shit from "educational" games because they all fail at being games. They're tests with some graphics added, that shit is boring and nobody cares, there's no incentive.

Under FALGSOC, every game would teach you at least one skill

EDIT: I learned Sneaking from Gothic because to sneak in that game you have some guy explaining it to you and that came in very handy as a teenager

Kerbal Space Program legit taught me a lot.

I still crashed every ship I made, but I still learned a lot about space travel

Did I ever land on the mun? Yes. Did I ever land on the mun at less than 5,000km/h? No.

But it did finally help me grok "thrust forward to go up, thrust backwards to go down" and some other orbital mechanics.

I kept sending out Duna missions then breaking my save with the kraken trying to build a moonbase while it was in transit
