Just finished Germinal by Émile Zola and wow, it became one of my favorite novels. Fairly depressing but it's interesting to see how we're still dealing with the same issues of workers rights. It is good to see we've come a long way from the situation in the 1800s coal mines, though. Also a lot more sex and fairly graphic violence than I was expecting from a book of that era.

Reading the first Mistborn book now and am about 2/3rds through. Not bad for a filler book (especially after a heavy one like Germinal), but pretty meh overall, especially the writing and characterizations. I'm a little surprised it's so loved to be honest.

Maybe Dinkum? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1062520/Dinkum/

I've been playing Animal Crossing with my 3 year old recently and she loves that. I personally never really got into Dinkum, but it might be a good one to try since it works on the deck

The music is also great! I think people hate it because they try and min-max the combat and not just enjoy it for what it is.
