One of such details I want to insert is one of the protagonists having had nipple piercings, which are no longer used. This is not openly stated; I just go into a very detailed description of a piece of jewelry that can be mistaken for coventional earrings and have a dialogue between the characters where nothing is really confirmed nor disproved.

I feel like the part of the character you want to portray by using nipple rings won’t come across if the reader doesn’t know that they’re nipple rings. What is the purpose of describing an object if we still don’t know what it is, and then miss the implied background of the rebellious years? Do we care to solve the mystery of this “jewellery = nipple rings”, or do we care that “nipple rings = possible troubled past”? You can call it what it is, and have the option to elaborate more later if it serves the story.

What is this post about? By “we” do you mean the USA?

Yes it is worth it. The return on gameplay hours for the cost of a game can be incredibly high.

I recommend you start by downloading Steam on a laptop or PC and browse some games, or try some demos. Some games require mouse and keyboard, while others are better with a controller - my preference is a regular Xbox controller, it’s plug and play.
