A couple that I like:
-
80 Days - it's not free but I think it's worth it. It's a sort of steampunk version of Around the World in 80 days where you have to plan your routes, and buy and sell things in different cities to make money. The main gameplay is sort of choose-your-own-adventure events that happen during travel and in different cities.
-
Card Thief - I just started playing this recently. It does technically have a microtransaction but it's more like, they let you play for free if you don't mind waiting for chests to unlock, or you can buy the game to bypass this. The main gameplay is sneaking through dungeons represented by a 3x3 grid of cards randomly drawn from the deck; collecting treasures and avoiding getting caught.
FYI this community is meant for open-ended questions.
Is it true to say that two numbers that are equal are also approximately equal?
Me on my bike going slower than cars: Of course cars are faster, that was never in doubt. There are a lot of other reasons I choose to ride a bike.
me on my bike going faster than cars: So long, suckers!
Based on reading the Wikipedia article, I think it would count as a "partial blend", where you use one whole word and one partial word. In this case rhu from rhubarb, plus bar. So I think you're in the clear.
Does he ever explain what Balatro means?
Wow, I had no idea.
I like how there are at least three things that are immediately recognizable as wrong with this question.
Anything specific in mind? I haven't seen anything here that seemed inappropriate for the community.
TIL Haydn's "Surprise Symphony" was NOT written to wake up sleeping audience members; that was just a myth
Back in school I heard the story that Haydn wrote the "Surprise Symphony" because he was sick of people sleeping through his music, and wanted to startle them awake. It seems like this was a myth.
From the Wikipedia article:
> In Haydn's old age, his biographer Georg August Griesinger asked him whether he wrote this "surprise" to awaken the audience. Haydn replied:
> No, but I was interested in surprising the public with something new...
Why do all the cool stories from history end up being made up?
It looks like hot dog princess's home.
Are there any in-person classes you can sign up for? I found that to be a big help.

Just got my first Erratic Deck gold stake win using Obelisk
I was never able to pull off Obelisk before, but I had the perfect setup this time - the deck was mostly diamonds and clubs, and I got an early flush joker so I was playing nothing but flushes anyway when Obelisk showed up. Got up to 12 flushes before starting to play other hands.
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Remember
Look out, drive-by modding!
I'm kidding - just a non-violent heads up that I got myself added as a mod here, since the original mod seems to have disappeared (I'm not trying to "dirt road" them or anything).
I mainly did it just to get rid of the black mold sticky post that's been sitting at the top of the page for the past 7 months.
Anyway, let me know if you have any requests or suggestions! Also, it seems like since I'm not a lemmy.world user, I can't see reports here, so please message me if there's a post that needs to be deleted or anything.
Lates!
Moderation of CommunityTV
I was wondering if someone could make me a mod of [email protected]. The mod there hasn't been active in 7 months. I messaged them last week and the week before, but got no response. I mainly just want to remove an old sticky post. Thanks!
Edit: this has been taken care of, thanks!
Digital reading soars in Seattle, creating problems for local libraries [KUOW]
The Seattle region loves to read.
Neat tool to see how walkable different parts of the city are
Close travel time map. Find neighborhoods where you can walk, bike, or take public transit to the amenities that matter most to you.
You can change the tool to filter based on different criteria. Discovered via this article: https://mynorthwest.com/3958094/colleen-obrien-seattles-new-walkability-maps/
is there a legal way to consume alcohol bought at a store, outside of a home, hotel room, etc.?
I'm thinking in the U.S. and Canada. For example, if you're on vacation, you've checked out of your hotel room and have several hours until your flight, and you have some cans of beer left over. I know you could sneakily drink them in a park or something, but I'm just curious if there's any way to do it that's legal.
Anyone else have their eclipse viewing ruined by clouds?
Was in south Ontario, the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.
