A funny thing about magical girl media is that folks who are broadly aware of the genre but don't take it in tend to assume Pretty Cure is the most G-rated of the lot, based on the fact that it's got brighter colours, frillier costumes, and generally younger-looking protagonists than average – then you actually watch the fight scenes and those squeaky middle schoolers are doing Bruce Lee shit to the monsters.
I don't know how long this will be, or if someone already thought about it, but here i go:
A game that could be part of the Uncharted or Tomb Raider (recent one) series (with an Evil Organisation tm ) where you find something ancient. [Nothing supernatural in it btw, it's just worth being put in a museum, but the organisation doesn't know that. They think it is supernatural.]
BUT you're an ordinary hiker, not like an archeology nerd either, you just really like mountain climbing and have dumbass energy
I keep thinking the protag should be in full gear, so you can imagine their apparance, they're just cold, okay?
And when I mean full gear, I imagine the ski mask + googles, scarf, gloves, the whole outfit, you know?
The only true distinctive feature should be the body type, only because it's a game mechanic:
3 types: petite, average and... okay, I don't know how to call it, so chunk will do for now
So let's say, you'll go for a petite/slim play style, in that case, it's more advantageous to be stealthy, more acrobatic, fissures are your domain (exploration >:D). Enemies will be physically stonger but you'll be faster. Less stamina but harder to wrangle and to grip and more places to hide
Average is...boring, let's face it, it's an all-around type of thing, you played Tomb Raider or Uncharted or both? Congrats, you played average mode :)
I have nothing against them, of course, people do have their preferences. I never even played them :( For me, it's just... forget the protag one second and tell me it's not basically the same game story wise...
Average mode is still of course for players who never got to enjoy those games, it doesn't have access to petite's only and chunk's only passageways, but you can still enjoy
Chunk's mode is more fighting-heavy. You have more stamina, can move small boulders you otherwise couldn't but it's just the opposite version of petite's mode. You can knock out in one hit an opponent but you're easier to wrangle (more grip on you) and god help you if you try to be stealthy , you'll just look ridiculous
Bonus: maybe a bad route? You can decide to help the Evil organisation (tm) in the early game onwards, the whole game would be without "enemies" but I'm thinking last act of the game,they'll just get rid of you, you straight up die if you don't fight back. Also, I don't think a whole ass version of the game to fit each mode would be right, just... the same layout but with different button prompts for the mode you use, okay?okay
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
If you want to automate your home a bit, but you don't want any "smart" tech, you can just buy remote controlled power sockets instead
They are a lot cheaper and easier to set up and use than some home automation smart tech nonsense
They don't need an app (but some models come with optional apps and there are apps that are compatible with most of these)
Many of them use the 433mhz frequency to communicate, which makes most models compatible with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers
The tech has been around for a long time and will be around for a long time to come
You don't have to put any fucking corporate listening devices like an amazon echo in your home
Models for outdoors exist as well

Earlier today, on my way to university, I saw that the seagull experience was not exclusive to humans. There was a few groups of pigeons trying to find something to eat, when a seagull swooped in towards the biggest group. It did it twice and flew away, showing that those birds are indeed little shits.
