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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There’s not much distinction between currency and product is there? Most products are just other forms of currency - eg, goods can be sold back for money. Services usually save you time. So when you say product, you just mean what is time exhanged for?

The most common product of time is probably money, the next most ubiquitous type of currency. But then there are also more abstract things like enjoyment, knowledge, rest.

Same. I don’t really use Google search any more, but I still keep the phrase. It’s just something people understand.

Found Row’s channel from a similar thread years ago: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo6n98yEksXx0kHT4TA8_hQ

This guy does runs of the Pokemon Stadium games blindfolded. And I don’t fully know why, but it’s just super chill and enjoyable to watch these videos casually.

He’s right at 1000 now. Though I don’t see any recent uploads, hope he’s not done.

That’s a big undertaking, good luck! I’ll definitely be trying it out once it’s playable.

Having a nice list of characters you want is cool, but for now I’d say really pick two (or even 1) and try to get them prototyped and make them feel good to play.

Thanks for updating it! Newer version is all around much better.

Only nitpicky wishlist item I have left is for an undo button on the match screen. (Though it’s not really needed since you can reset an item’s stats.)

Is there? I might be blind, or the F-droid version might be behind. Either way, not a big deal, but I don’t see it.

Another would-be-nice - a button to sort the list alphabetically, so I can see what’s already on it.

That’s fun! It’s silly, but I do enjoy thinking about what my favorite thing in xyz category is and jotting them down, from time to time.

Would be cool if this included some pre-populated sample lists out of the box. Love that the import option is readily available though.

Also, mild inconcevenice - after I view a list, rank some things, maybe repeat a few times, pressing back takes me from list, to rank, etc, when I want it to go back to all lists page. If that makes sense.

Not quite dry, but we combine the dry ones with some coleslaw mix, the flavor packet, some sugar, and some apple cider vinegar. Turns out crunchy and delicious.

I didn’t care too much about API changes at first - I used on open source app on my phone but mostly browsed desktop. Would have been fine going back to desktop only. As long as they keep the old site design around, I’d be fine to stay.

What killed it for me was the absolutely in-caring, not-budging response from leadership. I don’t feel good continuing to feed the site my attention at that point.

I like quirky Foss software stuff anyway, so I was already curious about Mastodon and Lemmy. Twitter and Reddit deliberately being proudly, blatantly awful was enough to push me out to here.

Letting rage take over is not the right path, never is. Give yourself a little time and space yo cool off. (Not to diminish that the situation sucks. It sounds terrible and I’m sorry for that.)

However, if you’re not happy at work, looking for a new place is the thing to do. Update your resume, and take your time to find a new job. Importantly, don’t quit voluntarily until after you find something else. Don’t get ahead of yourself.
