As a student, I'm conflicted in reading this statement:
For instance, to create a new record in the games table, you can open up a console session ...
"can" is not a directive to do so, but previous labs seem to have been written where "can" is used as a directive, so I'm not sure. Or, maybe a "seeds" way will come along and I will have made a mess if I do this step. So I scroll down and look for something like this, and I find it. But why did I have to sleuth through the text?
I like that the example is here, but less ambiguity would have let me focus on learning content rather than tiptoe through the material to make sure I don't break something.

For instance, to create a new record in the games table, you can open up a console session with bundle exec rake console and use the .create method:

Maybe there's a better way to say this, but now ambiguity is gone.
I guess "tense" of the following sentences would have to adjust, e.g. there's this:
Awesome! Our database now has some data in it. We can create a few more games:
but oh well.
These succeeding phrases currently show further invitation/directive to do these commands now. If there won't be a problem, then add a clear invitation to do so rather than "you can". Removing ambiguity about what is ok to do would help. I don't want to make a mess and I don't know enough yet - am depending on guidance of the text.
