Not yet. With Bethesda games, I usually buy the Game of the Year edition on sale on Steam, which makes me unfashionably late to any relevant discussions. I like Bethesda games, but I don't love them. Just not a huge fan of FPS/RPG hybrids. I'm still waiting for the GOTY edition of Cyberpunk 2077.
At least it isn't the usual Elder Scrolls or Fallout. I haven't played No Man's Sky or Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen, so I don't have strong opinions on space games. Other than Star Citizen being an absolute shitshow behind the scenes. Holy smokes.

Difficult to say.
Gift baskets (Harry and David). Gift cards (Barnes and Nobles if he's an avid reader, etc.). Alcohol, candy, coffee, or cigars if you know what he likes. Subscriptions if you know what he likes. Tickets to an event if you know what he likes.
Don't know the precedent established in the family.

This too shall pass. Eat healthy, hydrate, prioritize sleep, walk or exercise, meditate, etc. Treat yourself well. You'll get through it.
I don't think you can screw things up too badly doing a 16:8 diet. The alternating days diet seems more sketchy to me, but maybe I'm wrong. Cut sugar out of your diet as well as processed grains. Drink enough water each day. Make sure you get all your electrolytes. Get high quality sleep. Don't eat or drink 2-3 hours before going bed. Don't look at screens or artificial light 1-2 hours before bed. Get a sleep study done. Get an oral appliance and/or CPAP if needed. Exercise and not too intensely before bed. Blah blah blah.

I like Mourning Doves because their call reminds me of home. They're clumsy dum-dums.

I'm curious if listening to an audiobook while silently reading/following along with the physical book would lead to subvocalizing incorrect pronunciation.

I thought The Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon were an hour too long.
Some films are too long due to laziness or self-indulgence, and others are too long because the story doesn't fit the medium.

Input before output. Listening before speaking. Reading before writing. Quality immersion is important. I would get an audiobook and a physical book of a non-fiction book you're interested in narrated by a speaker you wish to emulate. If you're male, pick a male, etc. Folks tend to sound like their parents, so pick a quality parent. And then just hammer it. Rinse and repeat. Do Anki. Maybe check out Refold.

If you're monogamous, look for a hetero-/bi-/pan- romantic asexual woman.

Blue jays are radiant, territorial dickheads. They're characters. I like 'em.

Just look at the United Methodist Church.

I added it to my wishlist on Steam when I saw a friend had added it to his. Looked very Chrono Trigger-esque, which I liked. I'll get around to playing it at some point.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Depends on how many players. If only two, there's probably more.

Hard to say. Depends on the situation and the people involved. Some people want the truth no matter how painful. Others would rather live a lie and/or shoot the messenger.
Have a specific situation?

Listening before speaking. Reading before writing. Best way to learn a language is by listening, but there needs to be some context to what you're hearing, similar to how we learned language as infants. Audiobook + physical book + translation dictionary is your best bet. Lots of illiterate people can speak a language. Lots of jazz musicians couldn't read sheet music.

Darn. I think I used to think it was "toeing the line," as in not crossing a red line or a line in the sand, and then erroneously changed it to "towing the line," like carrying the water for [blank]. Thanks for the correction.

I'm curious about trends in crop yields, food loss, and food waste.

I currently am not because my new license-plate doesn't fit my old license-plate frame for some odd reason, and I'm too cheap and/or lazy to purchase a replacement.
But I echo @MollieTheMare's sentiments.
When ads get that distracting, I'd rather not consume either product (NBA or Ruffles). Strangely, I'm okay with product placement when entertainment leans into it like Wayne's World or Idiocracy, or like the KFC dating sim.
I like Justice but it might be on the heavier side at times for small children.
Yellow Magic Orchestra might be good but I haven't listened to any of their albums all the way through.
