Liz and the Blue Bird (2018) [+] Introvert Mizore (Laurie Hymes) and extrovert Nozomi (Stephanie Sheh) have been best friends for years and are both in their high school orchestra class. They have a big piece to do but Mizore sees that Nozomi is slowly getting other friends and leaving Mizore behind. For her part Nozomi starts to realize that her lesser skill is holding Mizore back from being a truly great oboist. Meanwhile Liz and the Blue Bird is a story about a girl who becomes best friend with another girl who turns out to be a blue bird. The story is about letting go of your best friend so she can be the best blue bird she can be… This is a pretty well done anime movie. The relationship is touching and subtle.

Monument Valley 2+ (2022) [+] Apple Arcade version I think is exactly the same. Escher-like puzzle game where you rotate 3-D pathways but when your character walks it's as if it's a 2-D world. It's quite beautiful and elegant but less than five hours of content even with the bonus scenario. So perfect for Apple Arcade.

Alto's Adventure - Remastered (2022) [+] Apple Arcade exclusive version subtitled "The Spirit of the Mountain". New scenes, characters, goals. Snowboard down an endless mountain doing tricks, collecting coins and llamas, and avoiding obstacles. Much like Monument Valley this has elegant graphics and gameplay and is a pretty chill (i.e. not high-stress) game.

Trader Joe's Vegetable Root Chips [+] Sweet potato, cassava and taro chips are quite tasty. Reminds me of Terra Chips which I also love. $3 for 7.5 oz bag.
