That's a bummer, I had a Moto E and couple of Moto G phones in the past which were great, but once I started seeing reviews that older generations were better than new ones that were coming out I decided to try using an older flagship (Galaxy S10+ for $200 in 2022) and it's been a solid experience. Sounds like I should continue going that route once security updates end on this phone.
Second this, it was actually a pretty good thriller in and of itself too
I think you're looking for Kingdoms of Amalur.

Two game boy DMGs, one kept original and one modded with a new shell, membrane, and LCD screen. It's a great hobby restoring them.

Bartolo Colon aka Big Sexy - the legendary pitcher who retired from the MLB at 50 years old but apparently will pitch in an upcoming Pakistani baseball league on a team called the Karachi Monarchs managed by none other than Miguel Tejada with Adrian Beltre at GM.
On the note of short QBs there's a really cool ESPN documentary on Doug Flutie which is a good watch
Another vote for moissanite, I got my wife's engagement ring and wedding band from kobelli.com
Seconded, I have been very happy with my last 2 purchases of Acer refurbished laptops from the official Acer store on eBay.
Hopefully they carry over the ability to stream and replay all games from the ESPN+ app, as much as I hate all these streaming services it was really easy to catch an XFL game earlier this year.
Looks cool, Fantasy Life on the 3DS was a fun game.
I'm at the final boss of Super Mario RPG and can vouch for it being really fun. While it's not as epic in scale and story as Chrono Trigger, it's got good humorous writing, good pacing, and the difficulty is just right imo.
I also really like that if you lose a battle, the game resets you at your last save point and carries over any exp you gained, making grinding way less tedious.
Ys 8 has a soft lock toward the end where if you didn't do enough side quests to build up enough affinity with your castaway group and party members you would get treated to a bad/neutral ending. Fortunately at that soft lock point there are enough ways to build up those points so you can progress past that point.
Celeste, Guacamelee, and Monster Boy in the Cursed Kingdom all made me better at platforming games.

Super Metroid
Wario Land 1
Chrono Trigger
Bonus: Playing final fantasy 6 and getting past the Figaro part and rafting mini game and quitting the game right after
I'm in a similar predicament except with ToTK - the game is so good I don't want to see the credits roll so I've been running around doing side quests instead lol. And I'm someone who could not get into BotW, I gifted my copy away
