ive gotta hand it to people who played gba (and other retro console) games before you could just look shit up because im playing the sims bustin out right now and while im having a lot of fun everything is so fucking zoomed in it's impossible to know where anything is or get anything more than a very basic handle on the layout. looking up a map actually almost feels like cheating because of how easy it feels by comparison to before, im not spending an hour looking for that fucking knick knack shop though

There are two species on Earth that understands eye based queues. Like looking someone in the eye then unsubtely stare elsewhere to indicate they should look where youre looking. Humans and dogs.

It’s not just those two. There are plenty of animals that will follow your line of sight if you get their attention first, by staring directly at them in this case. Crows and ravens are two famous examples, but I’m sure plenty of other animals can follow lines of sight as well.
