One of my biggest gripes about board games is still the bloody rule books 📚 They are still way too convoluted and long winded. Every rulebook should have a bulleted list summary version.

I got a chance to play Spring Cleaning recently, and was very impressed!
if there's stuff in the internet archive you love, whether it's from your childhood or older websites you made or whatever, there are no guarantees that it will be up forever. download stuff you want to be sure you have good, smart people are fighting for it. good, smart people don't win every time
For me yellow paint is more of a symptom of a problem than a problem itself. Like why even have a weird little climbing section at that point? A ladder would work just as well and be about as immersion breaking as yellow paint. Or for games where ledges are common, why can't you vault every ledge?
150 or so, though a lot of that is the end of the line. It's not so bad, I don't buy games often and sometimes when I do it's multiple games at a time. I also prioritize size first so they're mostly getting moved around within their own "category".
I unfortunately have things sorted by how much I'm actively playing them/excited by them, so each new game tends to cause me to have to shuffle everything down.
Got a chance to play Undergrove last night. I quite enjoyed it, it's an engine builder but you can use the pieces of other people's engines. Everyone's engines still felt different though which was quite nice. I could see it being a very tight game if everyone at the table knows what they're doing.
