2 Kings 2:23-24
Heading up thence unto Bethel did there come forth little children from out the city, mocking him, "Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head!" Elisha did turn back upon them and cursed them in the name his LORD where forth came two she-bears and tare forty-two those children.

I'm usually the first to dip on popular shows because they easily bore me with how most handle their writing and presentation.
It has not crossed my mind once to drop from this show. It's extremely well-balanced and purposeful in everything it shows (and doesn't show) you.

I like all kinds myself so maybe a bad judge, but I would much rather have another discussion show in my queue than another Actual Play just off pure numbers.

the only time I have used it as the sole challenge/obstacle is where the characters still get to do the game and feel the effects.
Mysterio is probably my favourite Spider-Man villain and in the video games all his encounters are still interacted with as Spidey and thus still engaging/fun.

Don't listen to this man!!
He still hasn't played Netrunner with me! Like a little bitch!

A favourite, returning tool regarding this is isolating the hallucination. One person sees something that others do not and it makes them take action which ripples outwards.
Obviously I'd discuss if/how we handle that situation round the table but cheapness can be avoided mostly via collaboration

or other element reacts to the falsity since those actions and emotions could still have corresponding consequences (the former maybe less so in case of a dream sequence).
It is also a great opportunity to introduce dramatic irony where all tablemates are aware it is fake but still act accordingly.

I am a huge pervert, a furry, and actually really like Knots in the Sky (upset I haven't had the chance to play it yet) and not ONCE did knotting cross my mind when looking at that game.
The context is really important because I look at the title page and my brain thinks of a cloud labyrinth.

This is not targeted @ Zedeck merely a branching thought, to be clear
I push a lot back on the idea that the rules are there to be ignored or broken. Imagination and mechanics aren't at war with one another, they CAN be a harmonious duo that redirects attention towards what it might otherwise avoid

Nathan Fielder has made maybe one of the greatest LARP shows ever in a way that people who watch this probably don't even realize they're watching LARP

M*A*S*H* is maybe a little too close to the war-theme but feel like people around our age don't know how huge that show was.
Cheers, Frasier, Seinfeld in a similar level of popularity.
If you want something extremely different which survived through generations: James Bond, easy answer.

The easy, obvious answer is Superman (and adjacent DC Comics supers) but I think we have enough supers stuff out there.
So my weird/unexpected answer is horror slasher movies (ALIEN is my go-to because I have this whole "it's actually about being a transwoman" case)

Can't stress enough how much I love a more mechanically involved solo-rpg either!
My only critique is that, even though it does a solid job both explaining and exampling how you might do so, this game doesn't really need to be labeled as "journaling"
And that's such a minor, very personal critique

Maybe! Think it is more to do with the average person stopping at a surface level of interest so they'd assume a complaint is only ever about a work you dislike.

true!!
I did a VERY brief runback but was mostly explaining the current drama and why he is pretty fairly called "Best in the World," which took most the time before more stuff came up.

Genuinely they could have just done broadcasts of people playing. Do a broadcast day with Legends of the Hidden Temple, Nickelodeon Guts, and Double Dare.
Maybe encourage playing outside by saying you'll show off videos viewers send in too.

I'm really fucking good at understanding and using the game rules in a way that illustrates the fun of doing that, instead of avoiding or ignoring them.
Often take what seems inconsequential/silly & weaving that into our agreed upon tone/setting in a consistent, often upsetting (affectionate) form.
