I was going to give the example of the Carnival cruise ship that sank in the 2010s (I think) largely due to the captain’s incompetence[...]

Lots of great recommendations in this thread. One I use and didn't see mentioned yet is StreetPass. It automatically saves any Mastodon rel="me" verification links you come across while browsing. I've found it very useful for finding interesting accounts to follow
I've been working through my backlog on Steam
I finished Twin Mirror last night and today I started Kona II. I'm couple of hours in and so far it's been a little meh. Graphics are great and all but it just doesn't have the same atmosphere than the first Kona had
