I don’t know where you live, but if you have a Hado arena nearby, then a taster session might be a good gift. It’s an augmented reality sport which can be played casually or professionally. There are arenas all over the world.
Unfortunately their world site is a little out of date. I know quite a few kids in my area of the UK, at around that age, who are getting into it.
Bonus points if you can get them to preserve all the NSFW mods as well.
I’d say it’s time to push the argument that the Library of Congress needs to be preserving games as part of the cultural history of the USA. If the legislative branch won’t abide private efforts then it’s time to make the government do it.

I also like to boot up and listen to the Amiga title music for SWIV and the Mega Drive/Genesis soundtrack of Revenge of Shinobi.
Key info, this relates to discrete cards only, not integrated graphics:
Since Linux lacks the infrastructure for properly and reliably indicating if a full-screen 3D game is running versus another application, this change will just use the full-screen 3D power profile at boot time by default. It’s better in the name of performance but with more aggressive ramping of the core/memory clock frequencies it can come with an increase to power use by default.
More to add to my neverending reading list 😊
I thought Ballistic Gel Torso was the actor from The Usual Suspects, no?
Have you read Neal Stephenson’s novel, Interface?
How much do you want to bet that they don’t even have a contingency plan to evacuate and secure their inmate population?
Err, that was your side my dude, like wtf?
How about, ‘no’?

I am not renting my corporeal existence from a megacorporation. There is no way this is ever affordable to the masses without some pretty huge caveats
