I used to be good at computer games, but they changed what "good at computer games" was, now what I am is "below average at computer games", and "good at computer games" is challenging and unattainable to me. It'll happen to you!

If your only goal on the harder modes is just to get to the end you don't have as much pressure on you so you can enjoy it more. The harder modes of the Arkham games don't have the colour coded attack prompts from your attackers, you just have to learn to read their body language, but it's doable

a man in a denim jacket with a bandana around his neck says my parachute now Alt: Johnny Cash guest starring in Columbo is apprehended by the Detective at a wooded area at night under the light from his car. For some reason, the animated gif say "my parachute now" at the top.

We know Cash shot a man in Reno, it would be fair to assume he had eaten at some point before then, and also that he was later incarcerated somewhere other than the scene of the crime. Everytime I see that book I will think of Mr Cash now

I'd like to think it was an honest lapse in judgement rather than an effort to derail your childhood mind.
I don't remember much about it, but when I was very young I was permitted to watch The Incredible Melting Man, a sci fi tale about a cannibal astronaut. Not sure if it had a lasting impact

Or even classier, he could be like Renรฉ in Allo Allo and come back as his long lost brother, who has exactly the same first name. If I was facing that conundrum, I'd take the opportunity to have a totes new name, like William H Largenuts, or Ted "the head" Stead, or Sad Badger.

Traumatised me as a child, we got it out of the video shop more than once. I remembered it decades later, looked it up on youtube, and yeah, like Pinocchio, it's still horrific

Herb was a Simpson after all, he was due a blunder. I didn't get why he insisted on the outcome being a surprise, I suppose it's funnier to see an overly confident rich person blow it all foolishly, but they were kind enough to give him the redemption arc

If you have a bluetooth speaker, connect it to your phone and throw it out the window. Set it to play a soundbite, or speak out of it with your phone if you know how, and repeat FILTH WIZARD, I CALL YOU.

If being spherical is your thing, consider marble madness, sonic, homer in the simpsons game (when he turns into a big ball), and now destiny 2 has "wee ball mode" (just don't be inside a pipe when you re-embiggen). Zelda botw has some good sphere puzzles, but you aren't actually the ball yourself.

Imagine being asked to tone your fetish down by 50-75%, how do you even measure that? I'm glad they said nuts to that nerd with the justification that people are by nature pervy and will find their niche whatever you do

You could bother your kids when they have friends over and talk to them about Pong, and when they say "no one cares about your old games, old man!" and then you can say "No, I'm coming here to tell you that your room smells"
If they protest, just let one rip on your way out and shut the door on them
