The Netflix series Sex Education is all about a wide variety of characters' wellbeing and mental health. Even antagonistic "bad" characters tend to have hidden depths and nuance. As a show it was also surprisingly gentle with its characters, rather than just constantly beating them up for drama's sake.

I'd like to be able to double jump, platform video game-style. Mostly pointless in daily life, but imagine how good it would feel?

The children were devoured by saltwater crocodiles, venomous spiders, and Drop Bears within minutes.

Not sure why folks here are so down on Pocket. I've used it on a daily basis since it was called Read It Later, long before the Mozilla acquisition. It's a handy way to hang on to links temporarily, when bookmarking is overkill and I don't want to have a million browser tabs open.

Very often I spot something on Mastodon (or pre-Musk Twitter) or one of my Discord servers and want to come back to it later. Maybe I'm on my iPhone and the site is something that would be better on my PC monitor. Maybe it's a YouTube video and I'm someplace where I can't play sound. Pocket does the job.

The king of empty promises.

This couldn’t have been easy, but I’m impressed by the author’s integrity.

At a minimum, I'd want to be able to unrealistically change direction in mid-air.

Outlast is 2spooky4me. Got pretty far in, but then just couldn’t get past the dread.

Never played it, but Alien: Isolation is a cool-looking game I’m not going to even bother attempting.

I'm playing in a Cyberpunk RED campaign and one of my groups just wrapped up a Numenera mini-campaign. Next month, the Numenera campaign will be replaced with a Kobold Press-heavy 5e campaign.

It's on a bit of a hiatus as the moment, but I've been running Mork Borg.

Jumpman on the Commodore 64.

I like Iroshizuku ink a lot. I have a bottle of Shinkai ("Deep Sea") that's a nice blue-gray (more gray than blue, though).

Several of the Commander Cody serials can be seen in early episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

The original is an underrated classic.

Kobold Press' monsters are fun and original. Just be aware that they hit at their listed Challenge Rating, while many of the first party WotC monsters are easier/less effective in combat than their listed CR.

Anera is the charity I've been considering. They've got good ratings from Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, etc.

It’s challenging, but not quite to the extent of the Souls games. The Pawn system is fascinating, where you can lend your NPC helpers to other online players, and they’ll come back with gifts and also advice about dungeons and enemies.

My suggestion would be to go a bit more old school with the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG by Goodman Games. It's lighter than 5e and PF2e, but there's a fun magic system and martial characters also get some love through the improvisational Mighty Deeds of Arms mechanic. There's only one core book, but there's an incredible amount of adventure and setting support. The community is chill and welcoming.

Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. I’ve played it before, but I really want to run it myself.

I’m also interested in either playing or running Black Sword Hack: Ultimate Chaos Edition. I’ve run the regular first edition Black Hack, but I much prefer the overt Sword & Sorcery style of BSH.

I love the standalone Gwent game (which I played first), but hated the more primitive version they used in The Witcher 3. Never touched it beyond what they required.

Hellraiser (1987) is an excellent movie. The second one is also worth watching, but I don't particularly recommend 3+.
