Umm, something along the lines of "it was locker room talk." As in, "any guy in my position would have done the same."
And for the last one... "They were asking for it!" Like they don't think of the children as children, think of them as non-humans who were begging to be-
I guess they want you to read the comics on their website? A quick search leads me to "gocomics." Top comment on the first C&H page:
"This'll be the last comment I ever leave on GoComics. For those who don't know, they just closed down r/calvinandhobbes due to copyright striking. Really lame and unnecessary perversion of fair use, especially in conjunction with the paywalling. Cancelling my subscription."
GoComics seems like a fine enough place to read comics. They have a lot of comics on there- aaaaaand a paywall. Yeah idk about that.
If I put on something with video I want to absorb it. There's more video content in existence than I could ever watch, I always want to watch something worth watching. If it's something I've seen before them I'm rewatching because it was entertaining enough that I want to watch it again. Even if I try to ignore it, it's good enough that it'll rope me in.
Put something on and not watch it? Is it boring enough that it's not pulling you in? It's just background noise? Then why isn't it a podcast or something?
If you're ignoring it then why turn it on? Do you turn on lights in rooms you're not in? It feels... like something just above brainrot. Like it's not rotting you, but either it's not engaging or it's just background noise (with an unused visual component)
"I was freaking out for an hour when I didn't have to??"
"Are you saying you would have rather spent an hour somewhere else and didn't want to admit it to out faces?"
Seriously though, it is disingenuous to tell them it's an hour early. But it's also rude to repeatedly be an hour late to things. You could argue being late is accidental and lying about a start time is intentional but after everything is said and done, it's kind of a wash, and the point should have been made.
Simply telling them "hey, you're always an hour late, to the point where I'm tempted to tell you things start a hour earlier" may have been a more constructive way to approach things.
Simple Solitaire Collection has lots of different solitaire variants. No riddles, but you do have to think a lot. "Napoleon's Tomb" and "Simple Simon" are two interesting variants I learned about from this game. (Simple Simon has simple rules but can be incredibly hard.)
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a really good, well polished, roguelike. It may be on the fringes of your request, it's not really a "puzzle" game, but you do need to think a lot to weigh your options constantly.
Ever since the r4 for the DS spring boarded Nintendo piracy, every single console they've released since then has been ripped open and has had very easy-to-use tools developed for it to make it really, really, easy to put pirated games on. You can buy a flashcard from amazon with DS games on it. You can mod a 3ds in 15 minutes. You can play switch games on the steam deck.
They hate this. They want to do everything they can to lock down their systems and prevent this.
On the Wii (or maybe it was 3ds or Wii U) when updating, you used to get a notification "...this update will also check for unauthorized material and remove it."
Now they're simply saying it there's unauthorized stuff they're not going to account for it and let things break (or force it to break)
Now they're locking down the usb-c port, again making it harder to crack the console. They failed with every console this far, so now they're trying something different.
In the long run it may get cracked eventually. But for now, like denuvo, it delays piracy.
Oooh, Oooh! Let me guess the last two!

Ugh, this bit is too gross to continue.
