I think Anuto TD (a tower defense game) is the best I’ve come across.
I also really like Gauguin (Sudoku-esque) and Lexica (word game) on the more casual side.
Don’t know that it’s on F-Droid, but Lichess is also high quality and open source.

Yep, that’s the right train of thought.
I used to also dislike them, due to their limitations vs cash. But eventually realized that I liked having the excuse to go out of town to a fancy restaurant, or splurge on games I might otherwise decide I don’t need right now.
Strictly speaking, cash is better, yes. But gift cards can influence people to do things that might make them happier than typical rational or habitual decisions.
I thought Insidious was good, and not annoyingly gratuitous with the violence.
Makes me think of high-score runs, mainly in arcade games. Have to play for a long time, and eventually you get stopped by a kill screen.
I think this is a really good answer. Just search for a focus playlist on whatever platform and let it run.
If I’m picking out music more specific, I find myself thinking about that, and what it’s like, and if it’s helping, and maybe I should hey this other album or artist.
Don’t let picking the music distract too much from focusing on what you want to do.
I get this. Loved Tri and Freedom Unite, played a decent amount of 4, some of World, and barely started Rise.
They’re always exciting, and I don’t dislike any of the games, but it’s just a lot to get going, really invest the time, and get the value out of these.
Ew, sorry. This list is similar and more accessible:
There’s a whole bunch of cool modern replacements. Here’s a handy list: altbox.dev
I personally use bat
and rg
all the time, and find them much more suitable for everyday tasks.
Edit: And to clarify, I didn’t create either list, they’re just ones I’d bookmarked at some point.
I really like that cd
command. :P
I feel like “See that mountain? You can go there.” was already a cliche when the game came out. [Though I have no citation to prove it.]
BotW really delivered on it though, with everything being climbable as the rule rather than the exception.
Understandable, I’m really looking forward to FF getting tab groups too. I don’t know why such a nice feature was left unimplemented for so long. 🫤
And I mean, there’s still time now. Switching browsers isn’t that bad. Export+import some bookmarks and adjust some settings, good to go.
I think FF has been a good option for a while. But the second best time is now. I can totally get it if people didn’t want to switch until they had more of a concrete problem.
Just like Reddit’s changes last year, seems like a clear and reasonaly expected consequence of the ‘our text is so valuable because AI’ idea.
The web will probably continue to become more gated and more fragmented as a result of that, plus trying to get more control to force ads.
I like the idea of it. First bit of feedback though: might need to adjust how the link is formatted. It tries to take me to a Lemmy page if I just click.
The website https://nobsgames.stavros.io/ helps surface these, and let’s you filter out based on different things.
One that I like in particular is Gauguin. It’s a Sudoku-like with different math-y rules.
Anuto TD is a tower defense game that is also really good, but not so low stress.
Lichess, if you’re into Chess. It’s a great, no compromise, high quality app. Stressful if you get too worked up about competitive, but puzzles are at least relaxing.
Yeah, somewhat agree.
It’s great just to see it exist. And not every game needs to reinvent the wheel, especially when the series hasn’t had a game in 15 years.
But by the end of it, I was kinda left wanting some new hook.
Sylux showing up was a cool moment though. I didn’t expect them to honor that tease from Prime 3, and I appreciate it.
Ehh, I know it’s not the original source, but I saw it there. Then it was either link to that or Twitter.
Well said. Within the existing framework of copyright law, the emergency open library thing that got them sued seems obviously illegal, despite it being a good thing. What’s good and what’s legal don’t always line up.
The Internet Archive’s work is too important. The library portion (that does controlled digital lending of published books) is nice, but I wouldn’t be too hurt if it goes down. Regular public libraries can fill a lot of that role. But the archive itself is incredible, and losing that would be a huge shame.
Legally, I don’t know that admitting fault and saying sorry does much good, but it certainly isn’t surprising that they got into hot water here.
And I meant to say, most helpful resource for me was the website rtings. Most review and best of lists I can find by searching are so spammy, it’s hard to get any signal. But at least that one let’s me filter a table of printers by features. I just don’t know how many they’re missing.
I didn’t really think so, but to each their own! I like the progression from not being able to afford much, up to maxing out upgrades on each tower.
There’s a speed multiplier to cut back on the waiting around. I mostly leave it around 8x speed so it’s a little faster paced.
