I was mostly surprised because Spelunky 2 is so much harder, and Spelunky 1 is already hard enough for a newcomer.

I don't get why people rush to the next replica platform that will go down the exact same path of overstimulating you / mentally harming you.

Just delete Instagram.

Don't replace it.

Diabolical to recommend Spelunky 2 to someone who hasn't played Spelunky 1

I mean, it's free. For the longest time they were great. Though, It even looks like if you scroll to the right, you can make a circle just fine

Would not recommend Crypt of the Necrodancer, considering barely anybody ever beats the game even by default, and then completing the full story is far too hard to not be frustrating

avoid these run ruining pickups because you happened to forget what THAT weird egg looking thing did with a different weird looking egg thing.

The stupid behavior of X item sucks is part of the fun of the game and why it's so great, though. You pretty much forget all those broken runs you got, but I'll never forget the times I found Plan C or used the Bible on Satan. I also think you're missing that repentance modernized all this and there's even fewer bad items than before. At this point there are only a handful of truly bad items.

Hades is great and holds your hand, but the fact that every upgrade is more-or-less the same type of skill addition to your build is also boring.

Don't you know the government is "If you have nothing to hide you should have nothing to be worried about"-pilled?

I think the mistake here is thinking it's about "things" or material objects. Most people interface with money at a basic level: you can buy a new jacket, reliable car, a sizeable home, etc. However, at the level that you are with these billionaires, it's no longer about having things or owning things. It's about having more power to do things.

For example, there's are some fun little calculators where you can calculate all the things that some could spend their money on https://neal.fun/spend/ https://www.spend-elon-fortune.com/

At this point it's an imperialist kind of mindset, where you want to own multiple corporations, properties, and show it off to your wealthy colleagues that you are the best at X. It's probably not unlike how professional athletes will destroy their bodies with steroids to become the best in the world, just the negatives are externalized.
