    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 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...

    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.

    The main game this month has been Paleo.

    It is a great little co-operative game which, thanks to its style, eliminates some of the "quarterbacking" as someone called it here, where someone is essentially playing the game for all the players.

    It uses a bunch of modules you combine with the base cards of the game which changes up the game and its goals, allowing more variability. It also can be quite tough, but I have yet to figure out if that is based on some bad choices we've made or if it is more luck based as well.
