At this point, I'm choosing to believe that people are being willfully ignorant. The idea that these Nazis are going to hand power back willingly is a sick joke.
This is the play for sure. I've seen a lot of discussion in the past few days about "what we need to do next time".
There IS no more "next time". There won't BE any more elections, there is no more turning this around. Millions of people stayed home crying about how the Democrats didn't do enough and even if they fucked up (they did), the people who stayed home and let the Nazis win fucked up worse.
Welcome to the Fourth Reich. We are well and truly fucked.
Free software had a non-free extra bit that it technically didn't need. Accidentally got changed to need the non-free part in order to run which caused news stories. Now the change has been reverted so it's free again.

Also, it's technically a musical I guess but the animated Legend of Sleepy Hollow narrated/sung by Bing Crosby is a classic.
Everything else on my list has already been mentioned, but I would be remiss not to mention one of my wife's favorites, Corpse Bride. If you were already looking at Nightmare Before Christmas, I think you'll enjoy it.
WRT Secret of Mana - maybe play the first little bit yourself until you unlock a second character, then save and you two can start from there. Trust me.
Also, I know it's a side scroller, but Castle Crashers is great fun if you haven't tried it yet.
Pretty much any of the SNES era arcade ports: TMNT, Knights of the Round, Sunset Riders... Though maybe not all of them in one sitting.
That's all I've got off the top of my head. Happy gaming!
You'd think, but she is terrified of touching you until she can do it without burning you.
