Seriously, my mother doesn't let me cross the street unsupervised, and I'm not even allowed to go into the backyard when she's asleep.

Admittedly, I am a vulnerable adult, but my situation is so extreme I'm honestly surprised she doesn't monitor my online activity (maybe she doesn't as a form of compensation?) And it's not like I can get out of this; I have no money, no phone number, no photo ID or anything, so I can't just apply for a job or housing or even Centrelink (I don't have access to my own medical records, and Mum's too lazy to get me on it). That, and I have no actual life skills, and I'm terrified of what Mum would do if she found out I tried to apply for a job, even a remote on

Platform(s): Nintendo DS, though it was almost certainly ported

Genre: Driving

Estimated year of release: Late 2000s

Graphics/art style: Semi-cartoony and 3D

Notable characters: The player worked for a company which was owned by your mother. I remember everyone in the game was a Redneck/Hillbilly (not American, don't know the difference)

Notable gameplay mechanics: The game was linear, and as a kid I was deeply disappointed it wasn't open-world.

Other details: It was on one of those "1000 Games in One" things, which also had Scribblenauts, and the trucks didn't have specific models; instead, they where referred to by type, such as Big Rig. I vaguely recall i

Platform(s): PC

Genre: Edutainment

Estimated year of release: Late 1990s, or possibly early 2000s

Graphics/art style: It was drawn in that 1990s edutainment style, but it wasn't on par with Humoungous Entertainment games.

Notable characters: One of the main characters was a Wolf, who I think wore a baseball cap?

Notable gameplay mechanics: The game, from what little I remember, was point-and-click. I don't remember if you controlled a character in the game, or if the game pretends you're physically present

Other details: The game had a "Ghost aren't real" message, despite the house, which was like a stereotypical Victorian mansion, being full of blatant ghos

I read the books in 2013, but they where published before then.

The books starred 2 siblings, a boy and girl, who would often accompany their archaeologist uncle (I think he was their uncle, anyway) on expeditions. The books had illustrations, but weren't full-on picture books.

The only book I remember is about a Mayan/Aztec treasure, which is revealed to be a chocolate recipe. The book concludes with them starting a chocolate brand using the recipe, which has a slogan which is something like "Mayan/Aztec decadence, without the sacrifice."

The reason I say they probably aren't the Cooper Kids Adventure series is because those books are Christian, and I distinctly remember these books lac

I have this vivid memory of watching this animated movie, when I was about 7 or 8 (so in 2009/2010). It was CGI, and the animation was fairly low-quality, but it wasn't outright awful. If I had to compare it to anything, I'd compare it to the animation in Garfield Gets Real.

The movie took place in a city, which is located in a canyon. Due to this, the city only gets a single minute of sunlight per day. I think the city might've been named something like "Gloomsville", but searching that up just brings up Ruby Gloom. Everyone in the city was constantly depressed.

In the prologue, there's a scene where a group of people on a street use those sunlight reflection things to bask in aforementio
