This is... an excellent list! I’ll add some gimmes:

Super Metroid
Metroid Prime 3 (for availability, the first is also amazing)

I’ve got ten years on you.

...I still cart surf.

No shame.

I’m gonna be totally honest here. I’m 27 years old. If I’m going to a grocery store solo, I’mma be cart serfing. Not not because of the LULZ, but because it’s actually an efficient and enjoyable way to move.

was the keep called Palestine

My brain kept swapping that to “4-HEAD program”...

I think part of the problem was even “good” men didn’t always see the behavior in the same way women do. So it’s a way of rating the seriousness of behavior that doesn’t require interpretation.

There’s always the manager who will have a system like this in place (either their idea, or forced upon them by higher ups) but if you actually try and make use of it (and thus force them to do their job) you’re seen as a troublemaker or pain in the ass.

I feel like this is one of those things where either you have good management, in which case you don’t really need this, or you have shitty management, in which case this doesn’t help much. Like, I could see some dick manager giving employees shit every time they come forward with one of these color codes. “Are you…

He was cursed at 11, and it’s broken 10 years later, so yeah, 21 works out.

Wasn’t he cursed at like 12?

The Beast was only 21 at the end of the movie. Not sure how old Belle was supposed to be, but he probably wasn’t too much older. Creepy, sure, with the whole Stockholm issue, though that enchantress put him in a pretty bad situation by cursing him for life because he was rude as a teenager.

I vaguely seem to remember even way back when Everquest had “drunk” effects from drinking alcohol (as well as buffs). And even had a skill for how fast you suffered from those effects.

Stellaris! My materialist militarist molluscoid megacorporation will soon own the galaxy! Or the baby space dragon I’m currently using as a battleship will grow up and eat all of my people. I’m very hooked on this game and very scared of what horrible thing the cosmos will throw at me next.

For me it is without a doubt Rimworld. It doesn’t even feel like losing, often it is more like the story ended. It is always great fun to retell it to friends; like how th ugly nudist doctor had such a mancrush on the married hunter that he became depressed and wandered of and got killed by beavers and then the rest…

I generally agree, but I find it rather strange that the letter never once mentions how his/her fiancée feels about this situation considering that this is her sister. We know the LW feels the sister is a user and a nightmare and would rather she not come at all if she insists on bringing her children with her, but…

I would be totally fine with placing Monopoly dead last. I can honestly say that in 30 years of playing it, I can’t recall ever having enjoyed it, even for a minute.

One tip my mom gave me when I turned 18 and started making my own doctor appointments: make your annual women’s exam on your birthday. I’ve almost never forgotten, and I always know the exact date of my last pap.

“Last off, his wife probably told him to stop hanging out with you, duh. Which means you are attractive”

Yeah I was agitating for throwing a huge Yankee candle on top of it but nobody else went along with me:(

That... sounds like a missed opportunity.
