    I’m not into musicals, but my wife loved Wicked. Another one she loves is Greatest Showman, so that might be one for you to check out, too

    NorthernLion's streams of Trickshot Simulator were legendary, but I can't imagine it ever being a game I would sit down and play by myself. I don't know what it says about me that I like to watch streamers suffer but all my own gaming experiences have to be kind to me.

    Scythe has been my family’s main game for a couple years now. There’s enough randomization each game to keep it fresh. One warning: it’s not totally balanced. Two factions are noticeably stronger...

    Scythe has been my family’s main game for a couple years now. There’s enough randomization each game to keep it fresh.

    One warning: it’s not totally balanced. Two factions are noticeably stronger than the others, and the expansion factions are agreed to be the hardest. Still fun, though.

    I hope Ohtani gets traded not just because I hope to watch him in the playoffs but also because I have no idea what would go in a trade package for such an exceptional player. He might be the best...

    I hope Ohtani gets traded not just because I hope to watch him in the playoffs but also because I have no idea what would go in a trade package for such an exceptional player. He might be the best hitter AND best pitcher to be traded this deadline!

    And even Messi, as legendary as he is, has been compared to Ronaldo throughout his career. Magnus is peerless— so inarguably better than his contemporaries that the debate about the best player can’t even happen despite the contemporaries themselves also being better at chess than anyone who came before them. He’s unreal.

    I’ve tried a few I forget the names of through TestFlight rather than the AppStore, but my favorite so far is a web app called wefwef: https://wefwef.app I just wish it were an app of its own
