Comment on Millennials: How do you feel about nostalgia pandering? in ~talk

If it takes no risks and just picks the most popular and obvious things from a given era then it's going to sound pretty lame. If it brings up some niche things that only a particular fandom might recognize however then it can feel pretty good to be in on the joke.
Sometimes it can be completely over the top like Ready Player One (the book at least) and that can be fun once in awhile too but it would definitely get tiring seeing that done everywhere.

I just wanted to have a few choices to make each round and not feel like I've screwed it up from the start every time.

The healers can stall enemies for a long time if they have to fight but otherwise they keep other heroes alive long enough to get leveled up and it unlocks Paladins which are powerful and loyal units.
They aren't always the best if you get rushed really early though, sometimes going straight for wizards or Krypta will be better at keeping dragons down early.

I do play some simpler and older games too but I tend to only play those when I'm sick and cant focus on anything more complex.

Granted some heavily scripted sites like youtube still take a few seconds longer to load than others but it's nothing compared to what ads and trackers will do.

It would go into great detail about various cancers and the heart, lung, and brain damage they cause.
None of it would be true of course, I just don't like pickles. Why should I let any else enjoy them?

There are some great co-operative board games like Slay the Spire, Forbidden Desert, Far Away or even Gloomhaven if you like something more complex. It still feels bad to lose but losing to a set of rules and dice rolls instead of another player means it won't ruin your day.

I'd say in general though for just drawing you're better off using paint apps like Krita or the simpler Drawing or Pixieditor then importing it to gimp for better layer manipulation and filters. -

Maybe working together on some chores at the same time for awhile could help him view them as important social time instead of only something tedious that gets pushed out of mind.

I read in some gaming magazines about the work Blizzard was doing for War2 and got really excited when the release was announced. Unfortunately it came out on the day my family took me on a week long trip to visit relatives and all I could think about was what I was missing. At least it was a great game when I finally got to play it.
More recently the only game I've instantly bought on release day (besides Silksong) was Factorio: Space Age and it more than lived up to all expectations.

I enjoyed that game for quite awhile, pretty unique mix of oldschool MMO and massive number of skills to level. It got a bit too grindy towards the end for me to keep playing it but the writing and design made it really fun for some time. Maybe I'll give it another shot with a new character after it's out of EA.
