I like Zelda Link to Past for SNES. Not even an hour

TLDR; What are some good party games that encourage getting to know each other and are not centered around drinking?

A year ago I had a great party. I split all participants (maybe 16 people) into 4 teams and made a 3 game tournament which was very appreciated. This year I am hoping to replicate the good vibe we had, but I want new games.

I am now asking you; What are some good party games?

Criterias:

• Low or no amount of randomness (to keep things competitive)
• Reasonably easy to acquire the materials for
• Possible to do as a team
• Encourages interaction, either within the team, between teams or both
• Should not be centered around drinking

Just objectively, listening to the song, what do you subjectively feel?

Reusing names of characters, locations, etc is allowed because they are not subject to copyright (only trademark, and in very specific cases). But it is bad on unfair to do so?

For me it's This Week In Google.

I listen to it every week and between new episodes I listen to the archival episodes I haven't heard yet.

There is this Alien Ant Farm song called "Sarah Wynn" about a drug using young woman.

Apparently the band saw a documentary about a woman with that name and wrote the song about her.

I need to know - is Sarah Lynn based on this?

What documentary was the song based on?

(Please help me, I am in pain from not knowing this)

A friend of mine has a daughter who is too young for a smart phone, but he still wants her to be able to listen to music on the go. I found the following devices using spotify. Have you used any of these or do you have any alternative suggestions?

For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

Inspired by me learning that I can check out solar panels (hiking sized, not house sized) at the library.

It's the sister project of Wikipedia, being a dictionary. Being edited by its users it may not be reliable.

Is there any other apps or groups that you can post NSFW stuff besides here and Reddit

Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing now all return the same shitty LLM-generated nonsense sites to most of my searches, and don't respect my literal search terms even when I put them in quotes.

I'm not ready to pay for search, yet.

Is there any alternative?

I'm looking to get my first subscription of a machine learning model and I've been using POE for a while but I'm not sure if paying for it would be better than paying for a GPT subscription. I almost never use them to generate images, mostly for help with my business and some programming.

I also want my wife to be able to use the same account when I start paying for it.

I'm not sure what the benefits of each are and which would outweigh.

I used to be good at time management and very motivated in my career. Then about two years ago I lost a close friend over a strong disagreement and then lost my job.

Slowly but surely I became a bit depressed and had some physical health issues. I'm seeing a therapist already, and a few months ago I finally managed to get a plebe job at a retailer, but when it comes to doing my personal work that would open doors in my industry I just can't seem to find the time and motivation to do it.

Don't get me wrong. I got plenty of time available, I just find myself being ridiculously avoidant or distracted or tired, you get the idea. And, no, I don't use social media much, I don't videogame or binge shows. I just get distracted with house chores or simply overthinking.

I've already tried lists, planning and goal setting ( all this comes naturally to me), but it makes no difference.

I've tried reducing the expectations and goals, no difference. I still don't do anything.

I tried apps to keep track of my progress; also useless.

I've even considered finding a life coach, but I get the feeling they're a scam. Unfortunately I don't have any friends or relatives that can help me stay on track with my goals.

TLDR I'm getting a bit desperate here. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Brazilian music is famous worldwide — from bossa nova, to choro, to samba.

Bossa is cool, choro is amazing, but my favorite things about samba is that despite being "pop music" it still has complex rhythms and harmonies.

My top favorite thing is the prevalence of the 7 stringed guitar and their use of counterpoints (i.e., parallel melodies).

I love how what (I think) started as guitarists just playing harmonies, turned into them improvising bass lines and counterpoints every once in a while, which eventually became them doing MOSTLY counterpoints and bass lines and barely playing the harmony lmao.

These bass lines and counterpoints, from what I understand, are often times arpeggiations of the chords and so forth, but they add such an amazing effect to the music.

Examples:

• This guy solo playing over a recording.
• This solo guitar + singer.
• Most music by Cartola which features the absolute timeless 7 stringed legend Dino. This one is a classic.

The world has a lot of different standards for a lot of things, but I have never heard of a place with the default screw thread direction being opposite.

So does each language have a fun mnemonic?
