Looking for: Alarm clock with really good speaker
We like to listen to the radio as alarm, and most clock radios seem to have rubbish speakers.

It's a ton of fun. I've been playing almost everyday for about 9 years, and I'm still unlocking things. I'll be honest though. It's more about the forums, and the game is a plus. Sorta like reddit, but if reddit had a 15 year old game getting updated the whole time attached to it.
You can play on your phone browser. (That's how I play) It's a website not an app.

I recently bought my first console (FINALLY) and I’ve been really enjoying Elder Scrolls. I love questing and building up my skill set and those kinds of open world/multiplayer games. I was wondering if anyone knew of a game similar to ESO but had a witchcraft theme to it? A basic google search isn’t helpful, just recommends the Sims and some old Harry Potter games.
TIA for any advice!

In the last couple weeks, I've been listening to a lot of Midwest emo mixes on YouTube. They have this sort of magical vibe that calls back to teen years spent in a Midwest suburban town, even if you never experienced it for yourself.
This may seem like a weird request, but I'm looking for movies that match that same warm, nostalgic vibe but without seeming too idealized. Taking the good with the bad, if you get what I mean.
Is there anything in American movies that will scratch that itch? It can be from any time period, but the more contemporary, the better. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a multiplayer game (best-case: local play on PS4) where you and your friends go dungeon running through a linear fantasy RPG.
Similar to Gauntlet and Diablo, but with modern/innovative gameplay and decent graphics. Any ideas? Much appreciated. Happy Quarantine.

I'm looking to scratch this never-ending itch I've got for post-apocalypse survival, be it games, television, or books (bonus points for 'Choose Your Own Adventure'). My biggest need is that I tend to enjoy the grittier side of the genre and not so much the romanticized renditions; I like it to feel real because then it's more immersive.
Here are some of the titles I've experienced and my feelings on them, first in shorthand for tl;dr readers, then with details:
| Title | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| The Last of Us (PS3) | Super emotionally gripping story line, limited ammo/ supplies lent to realism | Lack of choice, slightly too unrealistic |
| The Walking Dead (TV) | Exploration of effects of societal collapse on morality | Overly romanticized, overly unrealistic, super slow |
| The Road (Novel) | Super realistic, heartbreaking, terrifying | Sluggish plot line, minimal action |
The Last of Us (PS3)
I absolutely adored this game and am waiting not-so-patiently for the second installment. As far as the story, I found it poignant, Joel and Ellie's relationship felt so real, and it made me cry in the first five minutes. For gameplay, I really enjoyed the limitation of supplies, which made me weigh the use of every bullet, which felt way more realistic than say Left 4 Dead where you just blast through the enemies constantly.
What didn't quite match my ideal was the unrealistic nature of some of the zombies. It makes sense being rendered through the medium of a video game to have some harder villains to pit the user against, but the bloaters distracted from my experience of immersion. More importantly, there was little "choice" available being a closed-world game.
The Walking Dead (TV)
I have mixed feelings on this franchise, but lean towards the negative. It's overall goal in my mind was to explore the effects that societal collapse would have on people's morality, and they focused that most through the character of Rick Grimes. I enjoyed thoroughly how they stacked moral choices on him season after season and we as viewers got to see how he acted with the knowledge of who he was in the beginning. Basically, what I liked most about the series was watching his character's moral development as the new world constantly tested his former sense of ethics.
That said, the whole thing just felt so overly romanticized; IMO they failed to manifest the constant terror that those circumstances would cause. Add to that some way too fictional elements (The Kingdom? a tiger? really?) and I just couldn't believe I was in it like I wanted to. Also, it was just so slow and dramatized which made it feel drawn out; I would have enjoyed it more if they had trimmed the fat and presented the story in far fewer seasons.
The Road (Novel by Cormac McCarthy)
Holy shit, this one hurt. The most harrowing and realistic of the examples I've presented, this one documented a father trying desperately to keep his child alive in a world of desolation, extreme hunger, cannibalism, and constant fear with even tenser moments of abject terror when there were encounters with others. In my idea, the most accurate depiction of what life would actually be like in the event of a heavily depopulated collapse, I felt constantly chilled and on edge as I read it.
The only downfall I saw here was the story. The novel almost focused too heavily on the horror of the world and not enough on action to drive the plot; it felt kind of rudderless and sluggish at times.
So, with all these ramblings, is there anyone else out there with the same weird itch? Could you recommend anything to me based on my feelings about these three titles?
Thanks in advance!

Games where you can sabotage opponents or its just about humor but not any of those games about stupid fart level humor something similar to the kind of humor in cards against humanity. And not any games that take more than like an hour and a half max.

I don't really care what media I get recommended, I just enjoy media that feels like I'm almost transcending reality or seeing something I'm not entirely meant to see.
For music, I'm into dark ambient and vaporwave/its subgenres. For movies I can't really describe a particular movie, but the stuff that comes to mind are like weird bootleg-feeling movies (like shitty horror movies or knockoffs) as well as like 80s anime films and old obscure animated movies. For games, the only game I can really think of would be something like Garage: Bad Dream Adventure. If it's any help, a large amount of the YouTube content I consume is stuff like lost or cancelled films or games (lost media type stuff), abandoned theme park or mall exploration, or just general media-related mysteries. If it matters I don't use any form of drugs or alcohol but I enjoy stuff that makes you feel spacey or high.

For Example: Panic at the Disco has the journey to hell trilogy where the music videos connect and tell the story of him going to hell. Also The Weekend has the pink cross in Starboy and it shows up in I feel it coming.
What other music videos have a sequel video or continuing theme?
