I have a T480 that I’m very happy with. With shipping I paid a little under $250. It came with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD (which I replaced with a larger one).

It’s through Proton, but the game runs flawlessly. Do note that you’re really going to want a controller for this one. Playing this with a keyboard is a miserable experience. Another thing is that there’s an unofficial tool for importing images over your custom graffiti, but it’s for Windows and I’ve never tried it with Wine.
My sister uses her second monitor maninly for Discord, but sometimes it’s art references or game guides.
There’s a homebrew app called ftpd that you could use, but it only works on a hacked system and that requires an SD card reader to initially setup.
It might be something like Qantas 72 where a fault in a component that supplies vital data to the flight computer caused two uncontrolled drops which resulted in over 100 people getting injured.
Dreamcast ads got real weird. I vividly remember this one ad for Seaman: It showed a pair of feet and a fish tail sticking out from under a blanket. The accompanying text was "I will not mate outside my own species " repeated several times.
The Japanese version can be played in English if you have a MIL-CD compatible system. You’ll just need to burn a boot disc to a CD-R.
It just stops. The story I heard about why was because the author was afraid of dying and leaving it unfinished, so he just stopped and effectively left it unfinished.
Adding some recommendations of my own (all games are otome, intended for a female audience, unless otherwise stated):
Additionally I’ll leave Amnesia: Memories as a title I do not recommend at all. The only route I kind of liked was Shin’s. As for Toma’s route, the less said, the better.
Almost anything first person. It makes me incredibly nauseous, which is really unfortunate because there are some really neat games that use the mechanic. I recently sold my copy of Echo Night since I couldn’t play for more than around ten minutes at a time. I also couldn’t complete the tutorial in Half-Life because it made me so nauseous that I had to spend almost the entire day in bed. Weirdly I’m perfectly fine with Metroid Prime.
I’m happy with the 8bitdo controllers I’ve picked up. They’re great if you like the official controllers, but want something wireless.
Twin Peaks
I’m still salty about not getting an English release of Million Monkeys. On another note, Ape Escape Move was such a missed opportunity. Ape Escape’s gameplay was just asking for (preferably optional) motion controls, but instead they made a rail shooter.
Some old Archos media players, such as the 605 WiFi, run a locked down Linux according to Wikipedia.
It’s almost always better to not buy a cheap sex toy. There’s no regulation of the industry and many materials in cheaper toys are just straight up dangerous. Here’s an article (it’s NSFW, there are pictures) that goes over what materials are and aren’t safe.
I know you said no Pokémon, but what about Digimon? I think something in the Vital Bracelet family might fit your needs. It’s a watch with a character that transforms into more powerful forms based on your activity. There is a bit of an investment since you’ll need to buy the device itself and additional cards for more characters. Another thing to note is that all models except for the Vital Hero are (technically) in Japanese (there’s actually very little text because the menus are mostly icon-based). It also has a companion app called Vital Bracelet Arena, which can serve a storage for characters and allows for battling characters with other people (there no way for players to communicate with each other, so you don’t have to worry about your kid talking to strangers). If this sounds interesting, then I highly recommend checking out Humulos for more information.
Since they haven’t been mentioned yet, I’d like to recommend all three Klonoa games on the GBA. There’s Empire of Dreams and Dream Champ Tournament which are both platformers with some puzzle elements. The third game is Klonoa Heroes, which is an ARPG (making it totally different from anything else in the series). Do note that Heroes wasn’t released outside Japan, but there is a translation patch available.
They’ve already been mentioned, but The Dead Milkmen are exactly what you’re looking for.
