I can't remember which game it was (something on the Switch, so maybe a Nintendo game) where the game itself told you which button to press by showing four circles on screen (e.g. next to the speech bubble) and only one of these circles is filled out, so instead of a letter, you know you have to press the right button or whatever... I really like this design choice because it's so intuitive

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but it reminded me of a Tom Scott video where a library tries to keep a copy of everything you can think of (even stuff like leaflets) because it's not possible to know now what will be relevant/interesting in the future, so it's better to err on the side of keeping more stuff than necessary than to lose things that might be useful in the future. I suck at summarizing, so here's the link to this video:

It's not a native species, but in some German cities, you can see a lot of rose-ringed parakeets. They really stand out between the other local birds, so if you go to places like Cologne or Heidelberg, it's quite likely to spot them, especially since they're so loud. A few months ago, I moved to a city without parakeets and frankly, I miss them a lot.

I generally agree, but I'd like to extend it to

red panda > trash panda > regular panda

I know it's not a direct answer to your question but maybe I can offer an English translation of the German post?

Samu is only allowed to chase the ball if I say so and he's not allowed to run straight to the ball (sad smiley)

I first misread this as walking and gave you an upvote (because walking is free and enjoyable, so it makes total sense), then realised you that you didn't write walking, but you still get to keep my upvote

Oh wow, I learned something new! Thanks for showing me the HD button, I've honestly never thought about pressing it and just embraced the blurry pics... whoops

Wow, that sounds like a hell of an adventure! I don't have any experience in cave exploration, so I would like to throw your own questions back at you: what was the most interesting thing your group found in a cave? What are your most memorable experiences linked to cave exploration?
