I bought a led kit and a metal skeleton for my Gundam model. The problem is that you’re supposed to drill through the original plastic model to install the lights.

[up] I actually think that sounds cool. Albeit more realistically I imagine this as a one-off sketch played for comedy with some Subverted Kids' Show angle.

Kind of an extreme inverse of I Am the Band: Like a "band" where anyone who participated on any album with their name on it is now free to use that name for whatever they want, as long as it's not the same genre as the last album. Imagine how confusing it'd be if you bought an album by a Post-Rock group and enjoyed it, but the next one turned out to be a hip-hop album by someone who played tambourine on track 7 and one other guy, the one after that is said other guy playing accordion in a polka quartet, etc.

A video game where you can simulate having to raise two ungrateful kids, and also your spouse is a deadbeat drunk with an anger problem.

The Hungry Video Game Nerd, a game reviewer whose schtick is that he's always hungry.

Or a channel where a guy makes dishes based on video games. Wait, that's a good idea and it already exists.

[up] This was what I thought K-On! was going to be like before I watched it, and it sorta is, but there's actual plot sometimes.

Anti-money: Like, money that has negative value. If you owe someone $10 but you don't have anything smaller than a 20, give them that 20, then also give them 10 anti-dollars so it balances out. I first came up with this when I started doing retail work and noticed how quickly you run low on tens, fives and ones when a few customers in a row pay with big bills. And the Legend Of Zelda series has the Rupoor, but obviously there's no real life currency worth a negative amount.

A new hair trend of dyeing your hair the exact color it already naturally is.

Yeah, I do kind of want to make it now. Or, at least, make a concept for it. Definitely not a game dev here.

How about a strategy game in which you are tasked with establishing an irreversible and untopplable dystopian hellscape, while dealing with the logistic and social aspects of such an... uh... "endeavor".

You keep using the term "POV". I do not think it means what you think it means.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.
