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.

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.

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.
