Mate UI, simple user friendly layout.

Card game - Simplicity and depth, exceptional gameplay. Best at 2P.
For relearning all school-level maths and terminology,
has very concise explanations of maths concepts.
Weaveworld was huge when it came out. Great and Secret Show is good too.
For a quality horror experience, read the short story Dread, from The Books of Blood II collection.
No spoilers, read it cold.

Kebab joint in the very centre of our million person town.
Ate it on the day before Xmas, was walking and talking again by mid Boxing Day.
Bleaugh, lie down sweats and toilet yoyo.
The place shut down 5yrs after.
This was 20yrs ago, no kebab related issues since then, all tasty. Sour cream and garlic sauce, add a single felafel too.
I just posted a suggestion for a Lemmy feature-request for this very thing.

The lack of self-awareness about how ghoulish, and close to grave robbing these ‘reanimations’ are is concerning. Glad to hear that museum professionals are not entertaining it for a moment.
Some sort of automatic down-sampling feature before posting, for images, video and maybe audio.
DeltaChat has this built in to minimise file-sizes before posting.
Something like this would reduce plenty of bandwith/processor use/carbon etc. Increase speed of loading pages.
With an option to click to see the original media too.
Yes, it is worth getting into video games. Mental quickness, friends, and less Alzheimers are some benefits.
People in this post are making excellent recommendations for quality commercial games.
I can recommend starting out in videogames, by getting into Free Software (Libre) games.
Libre Games cost nothing, have no spyware, and usually have positive, helpful, DIY focused communities.
Here is a post I made that lists a few of my favourite free games on desktop and mobile.

If any on this list are too difficult or hard to set up, just skip.

Historical note
The Fool’s Errand game, from 1987, sold very well with women gamers. Over 50% IIRC.
It is a tricky puzzle game with Tarot Card theming and an excellent sense of humour.
Fool’s Errand is not Free Software though, and way out of print. It could probably be emulated on a device that you have, PC or phone.
