One title that instantly comes to mind for me is Genesis of Aquarion. I admittedly never got very far into it because it's really awkward to watch with other people around (looking at you mecha combining scenes). I actually really only checked out the show because I heard the OP in Taiko no Tatsujin Portable DX.

Anyway, the song is also called Genesis of Aquarion and is by AKINO.

I have a diagnosis, so that checks out.

It was Glasslip for me. It had an interesting premise (protag was able to see glimpses of the future by looking at special glass her family makes), but never really did anything interesting with it. All the show really had going for it was that it was really pretty.

This might not be as old as you're looking for, but there was a really good homebrew painting program for DS called Colors. It even had pressure sensitivity on DS and DS Lite (but not DSi or 3DS consoles because their touch screens just didn't have that feature).

• LittleBigPlanet

• LittleBigPlanet 2

• ModNation Racers

• Folklore

• Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

• Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty

• Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time

• Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus

• Infamous

• Infamous 2

These are just some of my personal favorites. They 're all first-party exclusives and I also skipped over remasters. I may come back to add more later. Also do note that the servers for both LittleBigPlanet games and ModNation Racers are gone, meaning you'll have to rely on your own creativity, since both series had a big focus on player created content.

The weirdest fetish I've ever seen was knee inflation and as a furry and former deviantArt user I've seen some pretty weird stuff.

The place this happened isn't actually a thrift store, it's an antique mall. Though, to be fair, a lot of the products did come from thrift stores. Here's a more detailed article.

Once I saw it was Lee county I knew the exact place it happened and whose booth had the skull. My mother is actually one of the vendors there.

Edit: Fixed a formatting error.

I commented this on another thread, but my theory is that it might be something like FedEx 705.

It could be something like FedEx 705. Basically what happened was that a deadheading pilot attempted to hijack the plane to intentionally crash it so his family would get the life insurance money because he was about to be fired for lying about his flight hours.

Napple Tale: Arisa in Daydream
A game for the Dreamcast that had a primarily female dev team. It was exclusive to Japan, but a translation patch was released a couple years ago.

Atelier series
There are a bunch of these. They’re RPGs based heavily around crafting. Actually, they basically pioneered crafting in RPGs.

Um Jammer Lammy
A spin-off of Parappa the Rapper. Lammy has only 15 minutes to make it to her band’s performance, but getting there won’t be easy.
Note that Stage 6 is censored in the North American release. Also as a bonus, completing the game unlocks Parappa mode, with new versions of every song after Stage 1.

Athena
Stick with the original arcade version. The NES port is infamously bad.

Psycho Soldier
A spin-off of Athena (sort of) starring Athena’s descendant/reincarnation (it depends on the writer), Athena Asamiya (and Sie Kensou as player 2’s character). Athena (and Kensou) would later become staples of the King of Fighters series. The game is notable for being the first game with a vocal soundtrack.

Baraduke
An arcade title from Namco. Being on this list is actually a pretty big spoiler because the fact that the protagonist is a woman isn’t revealed until the end of the game. Now that probably sounds like a ripoff of Metroid, but here’s the thing: Baraduke did it first.

Koudelka
An obscure horror RPG for the PlayStation.
The game is an unhappy compromise between the creator and the dev team. One side wanting to make a survival horror game and the other going for something like Final Fantasy VII. I’ve never actually gotten very far in this one because I hate the battle system. Also, this game has connections to the later Shadow Hearts series.

Literally every game in the Otome genre
Probably not what you’re looking for, but technically fits your criteria of having a female protagonist.

I might add more to this post if I can think of something else.

Don’t forget that DarkMateria also did The Worf Song and Frame of Mind.

The Wii U wasn’t even remotely as financially successful as its predecessor, the Wii, so Nintendo didn’t put in as much effort. The Wii was a big hit with the casual market as well as Nintendo’s usual customers. Unfortunately, the Wii U failed to live up to expectation for a variety of reasons. One example is that much of the casual market didn’t see the need to upgrade (I suspect a lot of them, being new to gaming, didn’t really understand that the Wii U was a new console).

I know you said no Pokémon, but what about Digimon? I think something in the Vital Bracelet family might fit your needs. It’s a watch with a character that transforms into more powerful forms based on your activity. There is a bit of an investment since you’ll need to buy the device itself and additional cards for more characters. Another thing to note is that all models except for the Vital Hero are (technically) in Japanese (there’s actually very little text because the menus are mostly icon-based). It also has a companion app called Vital Bracelet Arena, which can serve a storage for characters and allows for battling characters with other people (there no way for players to communicate with each other, so you don’t have to worry about your kid talking to strangers). If this sounds interesting, then I highly recommend checking out Humulos for more information.

Louie Louie was originally by Richard Berry. Unlike the Kingsmen’s more famous cover, this is completely intelligible.

Since they haven’t been mentioned yet, I’d like to recommend all three Klonoa games on the GBA. There’s Empire of Dreams and Dream Champ Tournament which are both platformers with some puzzle elements. The third game is Klonoa Heroes, which is an ARPG (making it totally different from anything else in the series). Do note that Heroes wasn’t released outside Japan, but there is a translation patch available.

Debian is always a safe choice for almost everything. It’s also worth checking DistroWatch. They have a search that can filter which distros are developed for a specific task (it’s under “distribution category”).

I’m going to take this as an opportunity to promote House (1977). I can not begin to properly articulate how much I love this movie.

As for one I’m not so fond of, I’d have to go with The House of Seven Corpses (1973). It was just super mediocre and barely memorable at all.

Some screens have this as an optional feature. A lot of times they call it something like “retro pixel.”
