Unironically, something like "Don't forget to fear God and keep his commandments!". I mean, we'd have full confirmation of a creator intelligence if we had loading screens, lol.
"Don't give up on a run before it's over."
TIP: They don't think it be like it is, but it do. It is what it is.

Devs nowadays gotta make everything permadeath.
"Money can be exchanged for goods and services"
"Just because your brain gives you loading screen tips, doesn't mean those tips are accurate, sometimes your brain lies to you! Learn to analyze your thoughts and feelings before charging into a mission!"
"Use the right tool for the job! Digging dirt with a shovel is much faster than using a pickaxe!"

Graphics are really good though.
Only if you can afford the glasses DLC
Humans have evolved to cooperate. Focusing on the well being of your group will benefit you more in the long term, than only looking out for yourself.
But if everyone else is looking out for the well being of your group, you can get ahead by only looking out for yourself!
This only works if the group size exceeds the Dunbar number. Below that, you will quickly be kicked out.
I've been trying to remember the name of this number. Thanks.


Ads. They wold be NordVPN and Shadow Raid: Hero Legends all the fucking time.
Got to think more meta than that. NordVPN and Raid ShadowLegends are advertised within the game world already - the loading screen would advertise DLC content thst elevates gameplay.
For example:
- Tired of the grind? Purchase the Silver Spoon DLC and choose which household you're born to!
- Customise your character's base mental health stats with the Genetics DLC!
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
- "Never kill yourself."
- "Don't wipe forwards on your butt"
Carrots will not grant you the ability to see in the dark, but have many other benefits. Remember to stock up on carrots when able.
"Be careful: Eating too many carrots will make you look like donald trump."
"a good amount of sleep prevents sanity going down to delulu levels"
"explore around for easter eggs. or don't, the couch is also inviting."
"A higher heart-rate may indicate your character is in distress"
"You can only complete a reduced number of quests per day"
"When in a group, the loudest gets the most attention"
"Armor and equipment will have an effect on your charisma points"
You don't need the approval of someone just because they have an opinion.
"White characters have an easier time avoiding unwanted attention from the authorities."
"it's down the street, not across the road"
COCONUTS HAVE WATER IN THEM!
"Fuck around and find out."
(I don't mean to promote this as a great "life pro tip" kind of thing, and it's kind of an arrogant kind of thing to say. But, I do like the saying that "I was born in the fuck around century and I'm now living in the find out century" or something like that. And generally, if you do fuck around with the wrong sorts of groups, you will eventually find out, whether we like people who say this or not.)
"What goes around, comes around."
(This is generally not true, at least not immediately. I have found, however, both IRL and online, that if you spew vitriol, it definitely comes back really quick. But if you try to uplift others, try to spread positivity, sometimes it does come back around. Just not as fast or immediate. Everyone has bad days, and one bad reaction can cause an inequal opposite reaction from someone who's bigger and madder than you, and that can spiral downward quickly. It's also easier to sour someone's mood than it is to brighten it. That is to say, someone having a bad day can get me down more easily than I can lift them up.)
"Treat others as ~~you~~ they would like to be treated."
(I read this on Xbox, of all places, but I'm not sure they originated the concept. They said it was better than the widely recognised "Golden Rule" (more traditionally written "do unto others as you would have them do unto you") because others may not want to be treated the same way as you do. I have two kinds of coworkers. The ones who I flip off or tell them to go fuck themselves, they return the energy, but we all love each other. And the ones I smile at and say good morning to and then we stab each other in the back. I'm generalising, but knowing how people want to be treated is far superior to assuming everyone wants what you want. Think about it. [Insert Eddie Murphy tapping his head meme here.])
I was never able to utilise "treat others as you wish to be treated" because most people dont take kindly to being tied up and whipped insensible.
Struggling with a quest? Go somewhere else! An open world means there are many places and quests appropriate for your level.

Don't be a dick.
I wish it had the keybinds for quicksave and quickload. I tend to think half an hour after I speak sometimes.
"You don't need to form your own opinions, just let people on the internet tell you how to think"

Don't eat the yellow snow.
STDs can be treated by being honest with a doctor. However, that doctor may test you for red-green colorblindness by using a series of flags.
REM sleep.
You will quell any awkwardness quickly by placing the toilet paper facing away from the wall.
