    Well, the question is if OP wants roguelikes at all. Most have high complexity, and they might actually prefer the classic "table top view" turn-based strategy.

    There are some very old classics such as the Heroes of Might and Magic Series which has turn-based combat. Then, there is of course the Civilization series.

    One of the more rogue-like turn based games is Darkest Dungeon (which has turn-based combat), also Slay the Spire (turn-based card game roguelike).

    I can not assess if those games are in the right complexity range for you, I am afraid. But all of those should run on a regular laptop.

    Oh great, just another Reddit substitute after Lemmiverse and Tildes. That is exactly what we need: a further fragmentation of users that look for alternatives.

    Once upon a time... Life was called "Es war einmal: das Leben" in Germany and I loved it (Spoiler: I am an 80s kid)! It's is not as big of a part of our culture as the Mouse is, though.

    The thing with dashcams is... Complicated. I think the current state of affairs is that you are allowed to have one if it does auto-overwrite the recording after a minute (until you trigger it to preserve the video). Dashcam footage is also admissible in court.

    Also, you must censor all published recordings to make everyone unrecognizable (i.e. blur faces and license plates).

    Bluey is a parent's favourite here as well. It has not dissipated into our general culture, though.

    I personally prefer Dashcam Drivers Germany to Fahrnünftig, the commentary is far less dumb and annoying over there.

    Mac OS lion does not even show a scroll bar until I hover it? really? That's inconvenient. (Having a convenient Scrollbar probably costs 150$, since this is using Apple pricing)
