I can't believe that "My Summer Car" isn't on here, I feel like it fits the theme of amazing but slightly disturbing Finnish games

I might be misunderstanding the question, so if you're looking to make an existing android device you have work like this, please ignore the below.

Maybe a Google Nest Mini would do what you're looking for? It's definitely got the ability to be interacted with entirely verbally, but I guess the downside is a smaller selection of apps that do work with it (there is a list on the Google store of which apps it works with)

I think posters/flyers are one of the most powerful ways to reach people in a local area, you've got to be in the local area to see them, right?

Another way to spread the word can be via the internet, Facebook is god awful, but a lot of communities will have something akin to a noticeboard that is another effective way to get the word out.

I would love a new Rayman game in the format of Rayman 3! Don't get me wrong, the 2d games were great, but it just doesn't scratch the same itch

Most of mine are videogame or car related, but here's a few from across the spectrum of things I watch:

Aliensrock: Interesting streamer/YouTuber who primarily plays puzzle games and provides entertaining commentary.

ScrapMan: Plays lots of building/engineering games (mostly Scrap Mechanic and Trailmakers). Lots of silly multiplayer competitions and "engineering challenges".

ItsJabo: Funny guy Streamer that plays Bethesda games with silly challenge runs. Also brings a bit of the chaotic energy.

Joov: same as above, but a bit more focused on telling a story throughout the challenge runs.

Aging Wheels: Eccentric guy that makes videos about eccentric cars. He's quite funny and passionate which makes for good videos.

Superfast Matt: Engineer who makes ridiculous project cars that are good enough ™️. He's made a land speed car, and recently an Off-road Dodge Viper.

Allen Pan: Inventor that makes a bunch of fun and silly projects sometimes based on stuff from TV shows and movies.

Incognito Mode: Especially the "In the Field" series. Basically an animated podcast where the Internet Historian and a guest talk about a variety of topics and come up with ridiculous scenarios.

Tasting History: Max Miller makes cool recipes from history whilst also giving a history lesson on the meal and its significance.

The reflections are absolutely beautiful in this painting, and it has such a tranquil air about it. Great artwork, thanks for sharing it here

You could try and make a DIY swamp cooler? There's lots of instructions online for how to make them, and basically the only consumable is water. The only caveat is that they work by drawing hot air in from an open window to evaporate water, so it's not very effective in high humidity or low temperatures.

Reminds me of something from Zoids

Not that it makes the situation that much better, but that's $895 Billion, not Trillion

I've recently been playing a lot of We Who Are About To Die, and even though it's an early access game, its been great fun. It's a roguelite physics-based arena fighter where you play as an aspiring gladiator, and fight your way up the ranks. The multiple types of matches and mutators really keep the gameplay feeling fresh, and the mechanics are surprisingly deep.

The other game that I've been playing a lot is Dinkum, which is somewhat like a mix of Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, with heavy Australian Outback overtones. It's a nice game to play with friends and significant others, since there's plenty to do with a good mix of action and cosy gameplay.

It's wild that's legal there! Where I live learners and provisional riders are restricted by power to weight ratio (150kw per tonne/200hp per 2000lbs), and that honestly seems like it keeps them on reasonable bikes for the skill level without having them all stuck on 125cc bikes struggling to reach the speed limit

100% agree about the fragrance, one of my faves!
