Is there a digital D&D that is turn-based and go at your own pace?
I miss playing D&D with a group, but hanging out for 5+ hours at a time every week just doesn't fit into my schedule. However, I was thinking about how some mobile games have handled this - Words...
I miss playing D&D with a group, but hanging out for 5+ hours at a time every week just doesn't fit into my schedule. However, I was thinking about how some mobile games have handled this - Words with Friends has (had?) a mode where you would get notified when it was your turn, and you could play whenever you had free time. I think there's at least one chess game that operated this way as well.
I can't imagine many human players would appreciate long waits between moves, when D&D is designed to be very immersive. So I'm being realistic and wondering what options there are as a single player.
Baulder's Gate 3 is fun, but I don't expect anything with that level of graphical fidelity. And something I could play on my phone would be ideal (but not a dealbreaker if I can't).
Are there options like this out there, or do I just have to accept that D&D doesn't have a place in my life?

I have been having a lot of trouble finding a digital clock. I don't even know where to ask for recs, I tried a couple subreddits but there is no /r/digitalclocks so I'm trying a more general place here and maybe someone can help?
My requirements (I'm in the USA so that's where the time finding needs to happen):
- It autosets the time based on the radio signal
- It automatically detects DST
- Backup battery so if I get a power failure it doesn't lose the time
- The time is the only thing on the display. (Although, this seems to be the hardest one to find, so, if it also shows the temperature or something, that's ok, as long as the time is a lot bigger than anything else)
- Not willing to spend more than $50 on a clock
- Needs to be LED not LCD, i.e. I want to be able to see the time in a dark room without pressing a light-up button or anything
Additional bonuses:
- If it has a rainbow display
- If it has a USB charging port
- Big numbers, like at least 1.5" tall
I don't care about the alarm or any overhead projection features.
If you have a digital clock that you love that meets these requirements (or at least mostly does) I would like to hear about it!! Thanks!!

I liked ( past tense ) watching YouTube with the latest Firefox on my Mint Linux box.
No more.
The ad blocker I use ( latest version ) has stopped working for removing YouTube commercials.
The commercials are obnoxious.
I think I will quit until the ad blocker I use updates again with a fix.
Sorry YouTube, you are far from being worth $14.00 USD a month.
Edit:
Mint Linux 21.2
Cinnamon 5.8
Firefox 128.0.3
Ublock Origin 1.59.0
- I completely removed UBlock Origin
- I completely emptied my Firefox cache and other data
- I signed out of Google completely
- I reinstalled UBlock Origin
- I signed back into Google
- I tried using YouTube with my VPN turned on.
No joy.
I can watch YouTube ad free via a private window in Firefox.
I can watch YouTube ad free if I log out of my Google/YouTube account
My add blocker works in other browsers when I am not logged into my Google/YouTube account.
