The strips are narrower; two together are about half the width of wide scotch tape. The whole thing is about softball sized.

Same as the last one, but this time I colored the frame black, and used some theater gels generously donated by xoxoxoBruce instead of the reflective film.

To be honest, if they didn't make a new engine for Starfield, I'd be surprised if they did for TES6. Starfield was a clean slate, and needed all-new assets, designs, lore, and functionality, so it would have been the natural place for a new engine.

Just in time for the (excellent) show.
I'd say finish Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 before watching the show, but I also wouldn't suggest waiting 15 years. Maybe something in the middle.

I have not played Dave the Diver, but I can recommend Subnautica for undersea adventure.
Dave the Diver looks interesting, and it seems to have just won a Steam award.
If you like "Connections", I can recommend the BBC game show "Only Connect"; Connections is pretty much exactly one of the rounds from that show. It's available on YouTube.

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley
Only took me ~6 hours as a completionist. Costs $20. So not the best in terms of $/hr.
Extremely charming point&click adventure game. Lots of nostalgia for me, as I really liked the Moomin books as a kid. YMMV, but I think it's probably charming enough even if you aren't familiar with them.
Balatro
Probably can sustain many many hours of play. Costs $15. Excellent $/hr.
Weird poker-based deck building solitaire game. You try to score the best hands you can, but as you play you change both the cards in your deck, and the rules of the game. You can add various effects to various cards, add jokers that have a wide variety of effects, add and remove cards to your deck, and gain various other effects. As you play, you unlock more cards, effects, jokers, and decks. A full game takes maybe 30-45 minutes, but you can play any number of hands, and save for later, if you just have a few minutes.

DC Police cars are all white.I think NYC ones are as well. LA still has the black & whites, I believe. The latter two account for a lot of cop cars in media, and the former is my personal experience. So I still see a lot of white on the cop cars.

Police cars are often white, and if not they still usually have large white panels.

I really wanted a non-gray car one time I was shopping, and they just didn't have them. I don't care enough about color to change what type of car I wanted, so I got a gray one, though at least it was gray with a hint of blue.

Saw my first in-person Cybertruck while wandering a mall waiting for car maintenance.
In person, it doesn't look quite as odd as it does in media, possibly since it's big enough to not really perceive the whole profile. Oddly, the weirdest thing to me was the hubcaps, which really make it seem Lego-like.
