Divinity: Original Sin 2 has a pretty robust magic system. The chaining status effects are fun and there are multiple ways a player can turn a fight into their advantage.

Chrono Trigger's pretty good! The soundtrack is equally phenomenal. :D I never got to finish it because I got stuck, but I hope to return to it someday.
I find J-RPGs have a unique sense of optimism and whimsy. Then again, maybe that's just me being biased.
Ooh! Nostalgia time!
I have very vivid memories of Sonic, Pac-Man 2, Moto Racer 97, Contra, Final Fight 2 & 3, Knights of the Round, Earthworm Jim, Spyro, Phantasy Star IV, and Mega-Man. I don't remember a lick of storyline but when I close my eyes, they're there.
As for games that have a more emotional tether, that would be things like Legend of Mana, Chrono Cross, and Threads of Fate. All of which helped build my love for fantasy. I was enamored by the art style and gameplay of LoM, the fact that you could mix and match different skills and discover new ones was like a drug, add in a crafting and pet system and I was stuck. I have a deep love for the soundtrack of Chrono Cross, the combat system also challenged my stupid child brain. Threads of Fate was more of a casual playthrough, but I remember going back to it over and over again, because I kept losing my saves.
I also have games that were more communal: sometimes played with cousins and siblings or with me as the riveted audience. Things like Bomber-man, Tetris, Puyo-Puyo 2, Worms, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy 7-9, Valkyrie Profile, Prince of Persia and Grandia. I have stories for all of those but this is already getting too long. 😅
That's tricky because lower back pain can be due to many things.
If it's related to muscle tenseness, have you tried stretching? Dynamic side stretches first to warm the area up, then more sustained holds. I find a combination of side stretches, sustained cobra pose, child's pose, some squats and that hamstring stretch one does while lying down can help.
I think our surroundings would be much cleaner. We'd have less flyers, billboards, tarps, etc. We would live in a quieter world filled with less distraction.
As much as I hate it however, I agree that it's a necessary evil, but maybe it could be executed more responsibly. I personally prefer "buy it for life" discussions, or product reviews by experts, or those gradings according to sustainability. So maybe in a non-capitalist society, adverts would be more informative than just, "look at this shiny thing, don't you want it?"
Asexuality is a broad term that can refer to many things. Some people are genuinely sex-repulsed, some are completely indifferent, some can only experience sexual attraction when there's an established emotional bond, etc. All of these fit under the umbrella of asexuality.
You fit if you so choose to. It sounds to me that you have a high libido but no sexual "attraction" to people. There may be a more specific term under the ace spectrum, but the labels are really just there to help you find community.
I think genuine and thoughtful discussion takes a lot more effort than shit posting, and when you mix that with a karma system that encourages one-upmanship and a few echo chambers, it can get toxic real quick.
I think "hope" is a tricky word for it. A lot of people don't really care about the issues and a lot of people who use it sparingly for a quick "haha" won't really be affected (at least not yet). So those people may not really hope for more.
I still use reddit for my niche gaming communities and while the possibility of making federated alternatives for those communities exists, it's far simpler to stay.
Because only a few people have a truly symmetrical face. Your hair acts as a sort of frame and so a middle part can end up emphasizing the imbalances that exist and thus make you look more lopsided. There are also additional considerations to a beautiful face. Symmetry is one, proportion is the other. You can have a very symmetrical face but if your features are smaller or larger in relation to it as a whole, then that can ding off a few points on the "beauty" meter.
That's why asymmetrical hairstyles can work so much better. It can shape your face in accordance to its symmetry and proportion and thus make it appear more balanced.
