In Tokyo they had a Stranger Things themed restaurant for a while. Pop up culture is pretty big in Japan so it worked out great I suppose. I don't expect it to work in other places nearly as well. Especially if it's a permanent structure.

I have an Amazon echo that is a glorified weather reporter and cooking assistant. It's pretty useful for setting timers and for calculating conversions for measurements. I also use it as a white noise machine for bed time.

I do get the random interruptions where it some how responds to some random conversation I am having and I promptly cuss it out. It's probably foolish for my privacy, but I don't actively plan crimes in front of it, but who knows how it might bite me in the ass in the future.

Is Average Abilities any good for these last few volumes? I shelved it around book 10 or so as I felt the formula was getting pretty stale.

I took a look and it's honestly a lot further along than I was expecting in terms of capability. In all honesty, for low level conent this is already surpassing the minimum necessary and I can already imagine greedy, low effort art thieves going all in on these and jaming out completely shows. And I expect people will watch them, or at least tolerate some of them.

This is a great game. It had good gameplay and progression with skills unlocking. The story and characters were quirky and cute. What I remember most fondly is the amazing soundtrack that I play once in a while. The other thing I remember is the the dance or die rave. I am terrible at Simon says mini games. Lol
