    That's interesting to hear. When I read in the dark I usually use light level 5 or 6 on my gen1 Paperwhite, anything higher than that seems way too bright (especially the 20+ that the Kindle itself recommended for "dark room").
    I'll need to look into the difference between the oasis and the new Paperwhite, maybe pick one up and give my Paperwhite to my kid who just has a touch at the moment.

    Yooo also first gen Paperwhite here. I had a nook before that and it got broken during travel, bought the Kindle with a flip case and it's treated me great for over 10 years, though I did have to replace the case at one point

    I know the new Paperwhites have adjustable light temperature and a flat bezel/screen. So that's cool I guess?

    Watching Food Wars was a great flashback to Yakitate Japan for me with the ridiculous food reactions. Both are wonderful shows.

    20 minutes til dawn is a great bullet hell game.
    If you're into games like Factorio, ReFactory is a lot of fun but I do recommend using the tablet for that one, the extra screen real estate really helps.
    Both Phoenix Wright and Layton Mystery Journey work if you launch the game with internet and then disconnect. It won't boot you out unless you fully close the game and relaunch it, but leaving it open in background in fine.
    Kingdom New Lands is amazing and highly recommend, but it eats your battery
    Enjoy your flight and I hope you have fun!

    I'm still new to mine, only got it a couple of weeks ago but I'm really enjoying it so far. Planning on trying breakfast on it tomorrow for the first time. If you've got any pro tips let me know!

    To add to my previous post, I realize you said discord streaming. If you don't mind adult content (which is skippable, iirc), then I recommend some of the VNs with tactical combat systems such as Kamidori Alchemy Meister and Eiyuu Senki. Kamidori isn't allowed on twitch so I didn't think to mention it earlier.

    Funnily enough there's actually a live video today called Wholesome Direct. It's a cozy gaming showcase featuring over 70 upcoming games that fit exactly this category. It will be live on YouTube and twitch, and a vod will be posted on YouTube I believe. I'll share the links below.
    (Also shouting out Stardew, unpacking, VA-11 HALL-A, and Calico.)

    Hello all! I was a member of Reddit for 11 years and while I am sad to leave it, I have realized that it's been a long time coming with how the site has changed over the past few years.

    Thank you for the invite. It's good to be here, and honestly having taken a look around this place really reminds me of the older days of reddit, as well as forums and the like. To those that mentioned using IRC back in the day like me, what up!

    I'm from the US but have lived overseas for a time and tried to travel as much as I can. The world is a huge and amazing place if, and if you're ever able to explore it I highly recommend.

    My hobbies include gaming, reading, and I am an amateur woodworker. I recently also got a flat top griddle and have been loving it. Professionally I work in nuclear power and love teaching people if they're ever curious since I see a lot of misinformation on the topic out there.

    I look forward to getting to know other members, settling in to this community, and hope for it's continued success.

    This is a bit different speed but a game like RimWorld works pretty well in groups from my experience. I used to do exactly that with a group of 3 or 4 friends.
    RimWorld is a colony sim where you can design your colonists (each of your friends can have their own character each with their own skills and traits) andanage the colony.

    As the player you plan out base design, set things to build, things to craft, etc and your colonists will complete their tasks. Colonists are mostly autonomous but you can give specific orders. The game is also full of random events that can really change how you manage the colony. You also have full control to pause and speed up times. When I played through with my friends we would talk about what's going on and decide what to do or where to build as a group.

    Seconding Long Live The Queen, as stated it's very short form and lots of various branching paths you can go down each playthrough, so that increases the replay value. Trying to figure out what to do to get past that check you've always failed could be a good group discussion/ vote activity as well.
