    Most work with laptops and if they do have a home office setup it's just a monitor and dock.
    Kids just have a phone and possibly a laptop which they can use anywhere.

    MKBHD is less about the technical side and more about the design side or feeling side.

    But I suppose his point is that this type of UI design (at least to this level) has not been done much in the past, especially on mobile devices. Now with more powerful processing, this level of design is doable without having to worry about performance.

    It just gives designers more toys or options and continues the battle between "looks good" and "looks readable/useable".

    I'm terrible at being creative from zero myself. I always have to build up from experiences or world knowledge and stuff.

    But what's always a nice picture to see is a kitty cat.
    Perhaps a version from your head or if you want inspo, then perhaps Niti, who I got as a small kiddo, and grew up with and moved into my first own home with. https://imgur.com/a/B7MER62

    The way Ubisoft handled The Crew 1 helped to launch the Stop Killing Games initiative. It's most relevant to EU citizens, and I know it can be a bit of a controversial topic.

    I wonder, too, if this would be a great little API learning tool.

    I'd recommend to look at DEFCON and also some of the games published by the publisher of Broken Arrow. They had some games that kinda fit your description.

    Upcoming Broken Arrow might also fit into this category.

    I'd second Valheim.

    I am someone who has loved Minecraft for years, but now I've had a tough time staying in the game as I've kinda done everything at least once. I feel no challenge from the game, and I do not want to artificially create myself one or have to grind a lot.

    Valheim was a beautiful new world to explore, discover, and conquer. The building mechanics are also quite good, imho.
    It's probably missing the same level of modability as Minecraft and the open endedness, as it has a clear progression "tree" designed in.

    I started to take creatine with my morning fibre drink as well, as it is easy to mix in there. I'm excited to see if it helps.

    I believe it helped a bit with power in the past, but I will see if it was just training, causing improvements, or a placebo.

    I would second the civilization recommendation or any of the other similar turn based games like Humankind, Old World or Endless Space/Legend.

    Hello!

    As I've been diagnosed with IBS, I've been looking at ways to reduce my symptoms and one of the options I've been told about is a low FODMAP diet.

    I am still looking into this, and so far I've only read a bunch of confusing or incomplete/surface level information.

    This made me curious about the experience that other people have had any recommendations or stories someone might have.

    Also if you know of any good apps for tracking what you ate and how you've felt throughout the day, please let me know.

    Thanks!

    There are many versions of pixel dungeon out there. I'm sure you might be able to find a free one.
