I think they're lamps made out of beer bottles (just with no lightbulbs installed yet, they'd sit in the top).

For anyone who's interested, there was a movie made that was loosely based on this story called Oddball: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3401748/

I think it's Gen 6 (PS2/Xbox). But at the time the Gen 6 consoles were new, the Gen 3 that you consider retro was about 20 years old, just like these consoles are now. I think they still fit the label of retro pretty well, but it's always hard to consider something newer than your childhood as "old" tbh

The Second inners are wheel wells/fenders, like the ones they use on the speed champions sets

I just built this set the other day! It looks really nice, and there are some really cool pieces being used (like the minifig whips used as the center petals). It is a little repetitive because you're building multiples of each rose type, but they at least have a few variations so it's not just the same thing the entire build.

I'm always partial to "PONYO LOVES HAM!!!"

(If you're wondering why mine looks weird it's from YT Music instead of Spotify)

I always find with these recaps that I don't remember listening to one specific song more than others, and I'm constantly surprised by what the top 5 are. That being said, I usually just listen to the personalized mixes, so maybe part of it is the algorithm deciding that I really like a song because I haven't skipped it 🤷

Backpack Hero gets close to that in a rougelike/lite kind of way

From just some cursory googling it looks like they are toxic when raw, but frying them neutralizes the toxicity. That's probably why you've never noticed!

The car and road are from the cover of a Nickleback album: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_Right_Reasons

Fun fact, Popular streamer Jerma985 voices the character that runs you through the tutorial in this game.
