or any board game turned app, really. its a good way to kill larger amounts of time and with long rounds there’s not any instant gratification. strategy games work your brain, too! i try to play a game of catan/ticket to ride/monopoly in the mornings instead of getting on reels or even PI right away. it makes me slow down and it puts my brain into gear, + i feel productive instead of gross and sluggish like i would post-reels.

i love settlers of catan give it a go it takes a long time but my girlfriend and i play it a lot. the app is clunky and buggy and gross but cool, still.

i love (and am good at) catan and have multiple different win strategies. for me personally, it’s got great replay value because of the flexibility in strategies. if something youre doing isn’t working, or if other players have foiled your plans, you can quickly get back up on your feet. if you have multiple ppl who feel that way about it, it can be an exciting game til the very last turn.
house rules are also a fun way to change up the game play. depending on the group or the mood, there are a lot of ways you can adjust the rules and gameplay to make either a more chill or more difficult game play experience.
and finally, the expansion packs go fucking crazy. im not huge on them- some can straight up double the time it takes to finish the game- but they do add interesting elements that provide more challenges but also more ways to win.

Lately instead of working i've just playing a lot of tetris, it's a fun little game. combines strategy and reflexes really well

yum yum yum!! eating fruit makes me so happy. it’s almost grounding, like i’m filling myself with the soil and earth it came from. no! i don’t want a lindor chocolate! no! i don’t want a tasty little treat that was concocted in a lab! i want a juicy little tangerine and a bowl of blueberries thank you very much. i think as the natural food we eat becomes more and more infused with the poison of man (be it through pesticides, processing, gmos, or mass production), the more i crave real connection through my food. give me fruit! good honest fruit, please!
