Need recommendations for a long flight!

Hey all! Like many, I'm on a hella long stint of flights coming up (18+ hours tomorrow with one being 12h30min lol) and am hoping you can provide some recs for games to play to pass the time. I kind of suck sleeping on planes admittedly so this will be a big help.

I've checked a few similar threads but not sure my gaming preferences align with what I've seen so far so thought I'd ask here. Here's what I've tried so far that tend to be recommended:

BotW & ToTK - Played both these, beat and loved them but sadly played ToTK first and botw doesn't compare . And I accidentally only packed BotW not ToTK 😭 but since I own it at home I don't want to buy another one plus not really much time.

Stardew Valley - Played this a ton last yr and eventually got to the point I got mods and ruined it for myself making things too easy (too many maps and needing to teleport to get places, changing time etc). But the idea of starting a base file from scratch doesn't appeal to me. Also dated all the characters already haha

Vampire Survivors- Was decently addictive but I beat it already

Hollow Knight and Silksong- Pretty much beat HK and I'm on Silksong rn which I enjoy but I need a game I don't get stuck for hours CONSTANTLY in.

Monster Hunter Rise- bought this and don't understand how tf to play it despite a decent amount of trying, hard to get into

Rune Factory 4 - Couldn't get behind how cutesy this one was and how everyone looked like a child, ended up selling my copy

I do enjoy farming sims and such, and RPGs, and platformers. Love a game with romance options and/or customizable main character too.

Lastly (if u made it this far) something decently affordable in Nintendo Store (I'm Canadian dollars too 😅) would be ideal since I can't sell the game after if I don't like it. Haven't bought any games over $25 there honestly.

I haven't looked at stores here in Bangkok for games though might if it saves a chunk of $ compared to Nintendo store.

If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading! Any and all recommendations are welcome.

Edit to add , I am indeed on switch 1 :)

Thank you so much for the recommendations! I'm a cheap ass when it comes to paying for games in Nintendo store though cause u can often find a physical copy on marketplace for half the price, but you've inspired me to pre emptively reach out to people selling back in my city so I can pick up these games when I arrive 😹😹 already found FFXii for 15$ and Fenyx for 30...which is already 80$ in my pocket compared to Nintendo...might end up Silksonging my way thru the flight after all cus I'm cheap haha

Long flight coming up! Book suggestions for someone who likes Fantasy/ Fiction/Sci-fi?

Hi! Like the title says, I've got a big flight coming up and would love to have something to read to help the time pass. I haven't read much but was getting back into it recently. I read Game of Thrones beginning lockdown and got totally into it, though now I wouldn't remember many details if you asked me.

Other genres I like are fiction/ fantasy, usually I go for a female lead and also like to have romance subplots but not the main focus of the story? Love an enemies to lovers etc too.

I recently read Blood Trials by N.E Davenport which I got into, but I fizzled out in the second book by how overpowered the MC was. I also started reading "Calamity" by Constance Fay, but how perfect the love interest was and how he was just immediately so into the main character off the bat kind of annoyed me. Like I like a fantasy but I feel like guys aren't like that in real life and it felt too fake. But I digress

Anyway, if anyone has recommendations I'm all ears! Usually I would go for a longer series but since it's such a long flight I feel like arming myself with a few options might be the safest bet. TIA!

Hi! Like the title says, I'm in bangkok 3 more days and I'm looking for an airtag / Bluetooth locator device that works with Android phone. I have one already but it looks like my airline wants both my suitcases checked on the way back.

The one I have I got really cheaply off Temu, and it works fine so I'm hoping for something cheap...like not new Apple store price (plus my phone wouldn't be compatible)

Let me know if you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance !
