Apple Arcade - Possessions (2019) [/] A perspective puzzle game. Each level is a room mostly laid out but there are a few objects or pieces of objects floating. Rotate the room (360 degrees horizontally, up to almost 90 vertically up, maybe 45 degrees vertically down). Line up the floating objects to where they are supposed to be. Sometimes floating objects block one another so you have to them in the right sequence. There is a warm, hotter, hottest hint if you get the perspective close so it's not that hard. I went through the 30-odd main puzzles plus the 10-odd bonus puzzles (world monuments and these are harder since all the pieces are kind of the same) in a couple of hours so I guess this game is for pre-teens or so.
Anime - Cells at Work! #1.1 to #1.4 (2018) [/] An anime about anthropomorphized human cells doing their every day jobs and battling problems throughout the body. I watched the first four episodes and it has Erythrocyte (Cherami Leigh), a red blood cell, and Neutrophil (Billy Kametz), a white blood cell, as the regular characters. Each episode had different things attacking the body, such as a virus outbreak or a scrape letting in microbes, and spotlights different specialized cells that combat the problem, so it's a little bit educational. Not quite interesting enough to keep watching.
Apple Music - '80s Radio with Huey Lewis (2021) [+] Huey Lewis hosts an hour-long weekly Apple Music radio show. Each week is a different theme and I guess it's about a dozen songs (full songs without voice-overing into and out of a song) with a bit of an intro for each. It's good to reminisce since I grew up with 1980's pop music (and this is mostly pop music with the occasional episode covering other genres like country, alternative, and R&B). And since this a show all episodes are available to replay whenever.
