Man, Star Control 2 was my favorite game to introduce friends to during the BBS days. Two player melee over a shared keyboard! The music in SC2 was top notch MOD/XM music back when trackers were starting to form a genre. Beeps on computers were the norm but you could hear a drum track over the internal PC speaker in this game. IMHO Tunic is the only game that came close to the wonder and awe of exploration and discovery. Absolutely a masterpiece.
Babu’s game room has my favorite YouTube review. I’ll let the bot pipe the link
Everyone says ‘listen’ but I would suggest one way to act on that advice. This is more of a general parenting advice for small kids (or all kids?).
Let them choose what to do. If their interested in soccer, give that a try. If they want to learn about ants, let them observe, guide them through the thoughts.
Play is dictated by their interests, not your expectations or dreams. This way there is much less struggle, save for the times you really need, and learning and play get tied together.
I am on the lookout for audiobooks with music. Best I’ve found are podcasts (Magnus archives) and the ‘SCP exploring’ series on YouTube.
Just some BGM to fall asleep to, and some words not too important to listen to. I guess creepy helps too.
A friend of mine mentioned ‘Contact’ was the perfect film. I thought about it for some time and found that I agree. The plot, casting, filmography, and score are all top notch.
Beyond favorite there are quite a few films I consider ‘done’ we don’t need sequels or remakes. Most recently the original ‘Willy Wonka’ came to mind.
Was going to recommend this too. Sometimes Google integration just works. Wish they kept the “don’t be evil” ethos.
It depends on the brand. Western rice cookers have a keep warm feature that I wouldn’t trust.
Zorushi and Cuckoo that keep the rice under pressure at around 140F will keep for 2-3 days. https://kitchencuddle.com/rice-cookers-that-keep-rice-warm-for-days/
Yeah, a week is really pushing it, I think I just remembered wrong.
Get a good pressure rice cooker. These are meant to let you leave the rice warm inside for about up to a week. Game changer and always have rice on hand.
Would serial Experiments Lain count? Anime series that seems to change after each rewatch.
I confused Franklin for Edison (!) and almost gave you a downvote for an excellent troll.
Why not a clone outside of Reddit?
The prefrontal lobe is the part of your brain responsible for saying “hush”
i.e. that’s not a novel idea/stimulus anymore

The Solaris book is great too! The Little Apocrypha is such a trip.
Is this testing whether I’m a replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?
Does Tunic count?
Best to jump in without spoilers, but it’s way more than a Zelda/Souls like. So. Many. Layers.
And at a similar depth, but from many years ago. The Ur-Quan masters (space game) https://sc2.sourceforge.net/
