My personal impression is that there is something going on which I nowadays call "the heavymetalization of games". Everything has to be dark and "mature" (as if housework was NOT a mature work), with the claim that something is "mature" only meaning "mature = dark, brutal, cynism, no colours, murder, dirt, blood fountains, violence, and especially violence". Nobody is actually interested in the fact that washing dishes is a "mature" work.

What "mature" here means is an highly idealizd form of "what people believe is mature".
Dishwashing and dirty diapers is not a part of this highly idealized form of the term "mature".
Cleaning up after someone had been vomiting after drinking too much isn't considered "mature" as well.
Bringing the own family member into hospital after a severe injury after curring trees' branches isn't considered as "mature" as well.
Trying to help the own child after it has been bullied isn't considered "mature" as well.
Trying to help the own grandfather or grandmother after he or she has been diagnosed with Parkinson or even with Dementia isn't considered as "mature" as well.
Researching where the own grand-cousin died in the last war and where he might be buried is not considered "mature" as well.

But rolling heads are.

See the gap between both ? Between Reality and the idealized version of "maturity" ?

REAL "mature" problems do NEVER appear in games. NEVER.
Except for Divinity 1, because it had dish-washing.
Over which a LOT of people moaned.

Kepler 186f is a planet orbiting another star, within the star's "habitable zone" (which means that if the planet were to have water on its surface, under some plausible but unproven circumstances that water would be in the liquid phase rather than as ice or vapor). The orbital period of the planet is 129.95 days. Using assumed values for the stellar mass (0.48 solar masses) and radius (0.47 solar radii) and timings of transits across the star, the planet appears to have a radius about 1.1 times that of Earth. Assuming a circular orbit, compute the orbital radius (in AU, 1 AU ≈ 1.5 × 108 km) and velocity (in km/s) for the planet. N.B.: solar mass = 1.99 × 1030 kg; solar radius = 697,000 km.

It's not officially called that, of course. But after Associate Justice Benjamin Cardozo died in 1938, Felix Frankfurter succeeded him on the court. And when Frankfurter retired in 1962, President Kennedy named another Jew, Arthur Goldberg, to succeed him. That's when the term "Jewish seat" began to be widely used.
