I've never played It Takes Two but SSX is a fun snowboarding game, the whole Skate franchise is super fun just to mess about with- the movement mechanics are really smooth, and whilst I didn't personally get on with it but Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (which is a bit like Jet Set Radio,) it also seems to have a similar vibe - in terms of movement at least.
Edit: just watched a video of the part of It Takes Two you were describing and it definitely gives me SSX vibes
Opposite here, my childhood cat wouldn't use scratching posts but my current cat has no problems using them! (Which is odd because my childhood cat was so chill and my current cat is a menace to society lol)
Never knew much about her before today but she seems to have made a positive impact on a lot of people from what I've read. Rest in Peace!
