I learned around age 6 the power of compound returns . It has served me very well . It look me years longer to understand the greater differences between stocks , bonds , risk , etc . <| sep |> . but the original Black and White was a fantastic game that delivered on everything . It did not deliver . Peter hyped that shit up a lot . He promised our choices would have consequences and people ' s children ' s would remember us though timeand the only thing we got was three lazy ship builders that if you helpreally didn ' t give you much of a choice to avoid their quest , have a colony later in the game . The creature AI was great , but it was the work of one personwhich no one has repeated it in a game . And he promised some wild RTS village building , which amounted to just some bare stats that you manipulated the rates , and provided wood for . I liked the game , but it was the first time I got burned by Peter over promising . Then got to see him repeat it with four more games , and one major project .
