My grandmother's great uncle (so talking about the late 1800s) was killed by lightning while out on horseback during a storm. Pretty crazy odds huh?

For something spicier, around the end of Italy's involvement in WWII Mussolini called his followers to move to the north of Italy. My aunt's family were fascists (my aunt was a child at the time) and they were planning on going there too with this bus that was gathering fascists to move them all north. My aunt's family had one massive trunk with all their belongings and it didn't fit into the bus so they were forced to stay... Which was ultimately a good thing because that bus was stopped by the partisans who gunned everyone down before reaching Milan. So my aunt dodged a bullet, both figuratively and literally oof

To be fair to the DS, playing 3D platformers with a d-pad isn't great lol so I can see why developers mostly stuck to 2D games

Oof I feel you there, I never got any event distribution that was tied to a real life location because they just never did them in the countries I lived in. ;; The wi-fi ones imo mitigated this a bit since you could get them anywhere so long as you had a wi-fi connection, but it is a bummer so many things in these games are now forever locked away due to time

It's also worth mentioning you can get most (if not all?) event pokemon through wiimmfi! It's also a lot more reliable than I first assumed, I still regularly play Animal Crossing Wild World with a friend through it and never had a single connection issue

Skies of Arcadia!! So much of the Dreamcast library is on Steam it's crazy to me they skipped out on this one. Yes I know I can just emulate it but I'd love to see it on Steam haha

Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 as well, as far as I know they've yet to be released from the PS3 prison. I do have some semblance of hope for these ones though seeing as Bandai Namco are pretty good about remasters/rereleases
