It's not like they don't know how to make a good game. They don't have to reinvent the wheel. Take Skyrim, make a new land with new characters and new quests, make it 4 times as pretty, fix the biggest bugs. Maybe make the quests a smidge more complex. Boom.
The "lie" that we can physically observe happening in real-time?
Is he actually that stupid, or just counting on other people being that stupid?
Showing someone what they did is not manipulation.
Calling it a manipulation tactic is, though, so you've just outed yourself as a narcissist. That's a block.
I don't typically record things, but I could see the value in doing so if your kid denies having acted in a certain way, so you can show them they did. If they deny certain actions, it's harder to show them that the consequences of those actions are related to the choices they made.
Of course, I'm not advocating sharing these videos with everyone, though. Maybe a counselor if necessary.
I have better luck with a pot on the stove than a rice cooker. Start with some olive oil, add the rice, add water so the water line is 1cm above the rice line. High heat. Stir occasionally. Once it's at a full boil, give it a final stir, turn down to low and put a lid on it. Let sit for 10 min. Turn stove off. Serve with butter, pepper, salt. Boom.
This is for white rice btw.
