'''On how the history of video games mimics the growth of human maturity:'''

Adulthood is, well, now. Games for truly for everyone, and are about everything, and are being made by all kinds of people as well. The whole "I need to feel all mature and grown up" nonsense is gone, and the indie scene in particular feels more freedom to just let loose and be its authentic self. We even see games attempting to deal with real world themes, to varying degrees of effectiveness, rather than merely wearing them as simple window dressing. After all, actual maturity isn't about the ''appearance'' of being grown up, but the reality of true understanding of complex ideas, real world issues, and eschewing the adolescent insecurity that led to faux maturity to begin with.

I'm a New Jersey-based autistic nerd whose gaming tastes are "Nintendo plus indies," whose taste in movies is varied, and who likes a good story-driven cartoon, be it "professional" or indie. On some occasions, I'll read a comic book or two, but I prefer comics that aren't angsty. Sooo many comics are angsty and melodramatic and dark af! I used to read a lot of books but I rarely read now.

* ''WesternAnimation/SkibidiToiletSeries'' - don't judge a book by it's cover, as this story-driven show about people with cameras for heads fighting singing toilets is surprisingly good

* ''WesternAnimation/SonicPrime'' - straight up fun action-adventure, '''except for season 3 being just a long fight scene'''

!Some cartoons, including animated movies, I really like are:

* ''WesternAnimation/SonicPrime'' - straight up fun action-adventure, except for season 3 being just a long fight scene

* ''WesternAnimation/SonicPrime'' - straight up fun action-adventure

* Culture, including how popular culture both reflects and shapes the broader culture in general, which is why I'm fascinated by things such as the Stratemeyer Syndicate (which revolutionized kid lit in the 1920s), or the runaway popularity of WebVideo/SkibidiToilet.

What do I like in a cartoon? I don't usually watch humor cartoons, but prefer ones that are story-driven. Good characterization and character interactions, a plot that is either adventurous or contains suspense or mystery elements, are often things that draw me in. And I have to like the art style. If I hate the art style, I'm not interested.

* Tech, such as computers and artificial intelligence, though I fully recognize that AI can cause both good and bad.

* I also have an interest in tech, such as computers and artificial intelligence, though I fully recognize that AI can cause both good and bad.
* I like nature and animals, particularly birds, and I go for walks through parks and nature areas, sometimes using the app Merlin to identify birds by their calls.

I can't say what exactly I like in movies, tbh, as the ones I like don't have much in common with each other. Though I do like when a good plot is used well, and I like fun character interactions and good character moments crossed with a compelling story. Compelling story and interesting or fun characters is usually the formula, I guess. But not always then! I like ''Film/{{Wild}}'' which was all about hiking and had barely any character interaction! I loved its scenery. I also prefer characters using their wits to survive instead of using fighting skills (or fighting skills alone).

* ''Series/TheLastOfUs'' - despite disliking the game that series is based on, for its tendency to try too hard to be a TV show, I like the show itself and its mixture of character interaction and drama

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines'' - a fun "robots take over the world" movie with some original ideas

I also like some live action shows, such as ''Series/{{Atypical}}'' and ''Series/TheLastOfUs'' (despite disliking the game that series is based on, for its tendency to try too hard to be a TV show!).
