That's what I meant by "Steam Depots".

Hmm, as a non-American, I didn't know the potentially racist connotation either until I read your post. I'm assuming that it could be interpreted as infantalising black men... But anyway I'm curious about the historical context.

You could download pre-installed games (e.g. from SteamRIP.net, or Steam Depots from cs.rin.ru)
I'd like to nominate two animated French anthologies.
- Oggy and the Cockroaches: The Movie (2013)
Based on the TV series, which involves a blue cat, Oggy, trying (and failing) to stop three cockroaches (Joey, Marky, Dee Dee) from eating the food in his fridge. Much like its spiritual predecessor, Tom and Jerry, it's devoid of dialogue. Only this time, it takes place across four time periods: the Stone Age, Medieval Europe, Victorian London (a spoof of Sherlock Holmes) and the very distant future (a spoof of Star Wars). It's got a pretty interesting ending as well (I won't spoil it). If you enjoy silent mime-based humour then I can see you enjoying this as well, otherwise I wouldn't really bother. (Sidenote: the opening scene is eerily similar to that of the Minions movie, which came out just two years later.) - The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales (2017)
Unlike Oggy, this one has dialogue. I personally watched the UK English dub, which was superb IMO! It's a compilation of three 30-minute specials involving farm animals going on adventures. The first and third ones involve Pig, Rabbit, and Duck trying to fill in for some fantastical figure: in the first, they find a stork with a broken wing and try to deliver his baby, and in the other, they try to distribute presents because they believe Santa has passed away. The second involves a Fox going to a Wolf and learning to steal chicken eggs and wait for the chicks to grow up, instead of terrorising the adult chickens already in the farm. However, this falls apart when the hatched chicks start calling him "Mummy". Not all of the segments are of equal quality (my ranking: 1 and 2 are both great, yet 3 is mid -- maybe I'm just a Grinch), yet it does consistently manage to deliver in terms of its simple yet fun art style, and just the overall charm.
These films aren't exactly the most compelling IMO, but they're good watches when you're lazing and just want to have some cartoony fun.
It's been banned since February 2024 (around the time of the national elections). PTA didn't give a reason besides "national security concerns". However, there were great accusations that the election was rigged against the party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, and thus journalists and the public suspected that it was done to stifle the spreading of such accusations.
They mean physical copies on eBay and such, I assume this game isn't legally available in digital format
I've actually fantasised about this multiple times so ... Yes
It's a metaphor for depression/ADHD/whatever mental disability I guess.
Depiction of the term "egg" as used in the transgender community. As defined by Wiktionary: "A person regarded as having not yet realized they are transgender, who has not yet come out as transgender, or who is in the early stages of transitioning."
Prompt: "A simple white eggshell with a slight crack on it. Emerging out of the egg is a transgender flag. The eggshell is placed on a white background. The image is drawn with slightly thick and round lines."
