Depending on your tastes a cottage pie or moussaka are simple (each has their own challenges like the mash on the cottage pie) but they are tasty and can look quite good in a big crock pot or something.

If you are doing this to impress then no matter what, tidy up after yourself and have a plan for any leftovers if you make too much.

Russia pirating everything is why the R5 DVD was a thing. Usually rushed out before any other region to try and stop them pirating a movie.

Inflation is the single biggest issue in the system imho Inflation is why shareholders expect more money this year than last year, so companies do shitty things to squeeze money out of a company for them. Doing the same thing year on year doesn’t always mean you get more.

Take farmers, they aren’t getting more for milk or grain year on year. The companies that process those things have been pushing up prices and squeezing the farmers that are paying more for feed, fuel and other things though.

Companies existing just to service investors and shareholders is destroying everyday life as they try to min-max there way through.

Water companies on the verge of collapse as lack of investment catches up with them. Shrinkflation in products we buy and use. Examples are everywhere but the “experts” are still taught from the same books written 50 years ago. Theory of economics is just a theory, try looking at what is happening out there for a while instead.

/Rant over

If you are going the Windows route Microsofts family settings can create a child account that is locked down and has usage time limits and a bed time that will lock the PC.

It isn’t perfect but does give you some insight into what they are using he PC for.

Google do something similar for Android devices + Chrome/Google search.

OpenDNS has a family friendly DNS that is filtered and free to add another layer to any device.

As others have said anything you do will only slow them down. It’s like swearing, you can ban them doing it around you but they’ll still do it at school with their friends. Sometimes they’ll slip up and use a word at the wrong time and you will have to remind them what is appropriate but as a parent it’s what you are there for, helping them form a decent set of guidelines on what and when things are appropriate.

There is also the proven method of finding the right answer to anything, post the wrong one on the internet and let people argue.

Demolition Inc? Scratched that sort of itch for me a while back, still available on Steam

I’m going out on a limb and going with something something lactose.

It got a patch and a little TLC last year iirc little bit of a glow up and fixed some bugs. Then went on sale/free all over the place. They made the mode where you can play as Duke Nukem work better too.

/Edit I’m thinking bullet storm I just got up, ssshhhhh

You ever seen the film Gamer, remote control convicts. This is how you end up there. Cameras everywhere and everyone is tagged, watch to see if your favourite survives people!

Dogma

Event Horizon

Really works for the smarties eggs, they are just overweight smarties.

Is that at all or just sad tears?

Back to the days of rip out the head unit and stick one in that does have the features you want?

More AI bubble bullshit.

Shockingly if you create a product no one wanted or needed it sells badly.

For me I’d say…

Borderlands 2 Left4Dead 2 Destiny 2 Zombies Ate my Neighbours (SNES) Pokémon (ZA has me at the moment but I’d say keep Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire)

CO-OP shooters with single player elements are what I’d play more than anything else to avoid it being the same thing over and over, Destiny has hit hard times recently but still has a lot to give.

ZAMN is just cool.

I can lose hours shiny hunting and mucking about in the Pokémon games so easily has to be one around.

I wouldn’t describe most of that as hacking. Reads like sudo larping drivel to me.

They are tasty though

Assflation?

You missed the gratuitous violence, blood and nudity.

That is one strong unit, the thought of the weight of those devices gives me back pain.
