I've always been baffled at In-N-Out's popularity. I'm not saying the burgers are bad or anything. They're just not "let's wait in this drive-through line that has spilled out into the street and is causing traffic problems" good.

Wait, wait, I need to change my answer on this.

"AI" developer tools.

Just the other day I played 20 Questions with my wife and I was a fake retractable knife and, well, she wasn't too happy about that, but seriously they exist.

On the subject of "bad lists are clickbait", I probably wouldn't have clicked through if you had named the movie instead of just leaving it at "the movie at #1". 😛

I played Arceus, but I don't expect that to count in this context.

You're probably not wrong, but I do want to toss out there that I had not played any prior "Ben and Dan" game but I was still pretty well sold on Clockwork God and loved it.

"Trying to find a bench" is definitely a mood in this game.

I feel like that term gets slapped on everything that isn't 100% on rails.

I disagree that fallback/ideal is a strong connotation for it. To make it more general it's uncommon/common or unexpected/expected. Common or expected doesn't imply ideal, as there might be other factors that determine why besides "most desirable".

I think that's exactly what I did, if I'm remembering the books correctly.
