I love the art. Just like you said, it really evokes amateur TTRPG cover art from around the same time.

3D Dot Game Heroes on the PS3. Forget good ports, this poor game didn't get ANY ports.
Who needs physics when you got dakka?
You might want to check out Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers. The book is about the people of the Exodus Fleet, a group of multi-generation ships that left Earth years ago. Even though the fleet eventually found other planets for them to live on, many are content to continue living out in space. It's a neat little slice of life book about this community doing their part to keep these ships going.
Cavern of Dreams is a great little game, I played it a few months ago. The controls felt a little imprecise (on the PC version anyway) but the graphics absolutely nail the N64 look.
We'll take all kinds of dragons!
Small dragons, big dragons, even radioactive dragons.
When it comes to buying furniture: Get secondhand furniture handed down by relatives, or found at thrift stores, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, garage sales, whatever. It's more eco-friendly to buy stuff that already exists, it'll probably cost less than brand-new furniture, and the older stuff is sturdier than anything you're going to get at Ikea.
With the money you save buying secondhand tables and drawers and such, buy a GOOD brand new mattress. You can cheap out on a lot of furniture, but never cheap out on a mattress. Decades from now, your back will thank you.
The first Phantasy Star is such a cool RPG, especially with the SMS Power patch that retranslates the game and adds several quality of life options.
Rhythm Heaven might be one of my favorite rhythm game series of all time. It's kind of hard to compare with other rhythm games, because RH isn't really like DDR or Guitar Hero or Osu! where the harder songs = more notes to hit. There are some songs where you might only have a couple dozen inputs, but you need to be exact on all of them. It's charming as hell and I love it, and Dolphin running RH Fever works greeeeeeat on the Deck.
That looks GREAT! I love that you got the matching buttons too.
I can't say I've ever heard of Duolingo speedrunning, but I already love the concept.
