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.

I thought Insidious was good, and not annoyingly gratuitous with the violence.

Yeah, it’s such a shame. This should be the silver lining of ubiquitous data harvesting.

The problem is that they aren’t really serving individual consumers - the main customer for these big attention merchants is other businesses. Amazon and Steam et al could focus more on helping you surface great products you love, but they undercut that by helping sellers get visibility they want (almost regardless of product quality).

It’s certainly not simple still. They’re not incentivized fully to serve your interest, and even if smaller companies are, it’s hard.

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.

The great thing from their perspective is that even if they can’t make you be onsite, you can still have to work on snow days.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sounds normal to me.

I find when I’m busy that I let go of lots of little hobby projects or side-goals that I hadn’t had time to make a habit of. And I end up forgetting about them once I do have time. Maybe there are some things like that for you to get into. Or maybe it’s just time to set some new aspirations.

But hey, hanging out playing video games and awaiting vacation sounds pretty nice on its own. 😃

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.
