So if slinky vs. stairs is a challenge, why is me vs. a cpu a game? A cpu is also a non-human obstacle.
You could say that the difference is autonomy. Facing a bot feels a lot different than shooting a target (if the bot is good enough) mainly because the bot can move and do other active stuff like shoot and crouch and whatever. But sometimes even the best bots are predictable which makes them closer to targets the more you get used to them.
I think the difference is the symmetry of goals and the ability to fight back.

I'm uncomfortable with this course because I just finished the psychology course and I have gotten used to Bernese being a recurring character and I'm very upset that she's not part of this course as well
I was conditioned by Marvel into expecting everything to turn into a cinematic universe
I have issues

Doesn't this mean that games with a goal, but no enemies or opposing players (like endless runners) are puzzles not games? It doesnt seem llike dexterity based challenges should be called puzzles because acieving your goal isnt based on problem solving.

Crash Course Games was filmed in Indianapolis, Indiana.
This brings a smile to my face, I live a few hours away from the capital of Indiana.
