I don't mind a little ad in the menu, about stuff directly related to game I'm playing. Those little "Hey we released a new content dlc to this exact game" infos can actually be informative. What I really can't stand is stuff breaking the immersion of the game. I'm not even mad about product placements, when they fit the theme and are sparsely used.
Your focusshould be on something that catches his interest. Depending on the child I'd say choose stuff that is easily to learn but has some depth too it. If you want to invest some time do some projects with him, to give easy goals to achieve and continue. Be the rabbit hole.
Glad that yours is holding up so long. I bought a R2 around that time and keep the chassis barely 2 years. Some designer thought it was a great idea to put a single vent GPU 1cm above the HDD, resulting in regular overheating of the GPU. I extracted all the components and moved them to a new chassis. It died 4 years ago.
The Hunter: Call of the Wild. I have nothing to do with hunting. I'd never thought a hunting simulation could be my type of game, but putting headphones on and running through the woods is so relaxing.
"Carl that fence doesn't cover that you still need to finish the walkway. Instead of building a ridiculous 2m x 2m fence you could have finished the walkway, just saying"
Why is length a problem exactly? If you enjoy a game for 200h that's great. If you get bored of it after 20h fine play something else. There's no need to complete everything in every game you ever bought.
I try to eat as few highly processed food as possible. Nearly all industrial meals and convenience products are packed with artificial substances to improve taste and especially optimize production cost. Most prominent water in combination with something to adjust viscosity.
Full meal replacements are the pinnacle of high processed foods IMO. You take "everything that a human needs" mix it with water and stuff it with aroma.
I got some problems with this approach:
I'm not confident that there is really everything I need in it
Extracting nutrition from food usually takes time, drinks are easy to process and probably release nutrition much fast (needs confirmation)
Eating is not only about getting nutrition, chewing also triggers effects on your body
Eating only artificial stuff destroys your taste, a lot of people are so used to highly processed stuff that they can't even appreciate the taste of high quality food
Take a break for eating, you can socialise with your family or coworkers and give your body time to regenerate
It's awesome how much you can pack on a horse. A 4tb Samsung 990 Pro weights 9g. Let's say a horse can carry 450kg. Thats 450.000g / 9g/4tb = 50.000 × 4 tb = 200 pt. Latency is shit though.

Gotta learn the most important words first.
