I played Overwatch daily for about 5 years, but Blizzard had to go and fuck that up

I play Mech Arena every day. Usually only a couple of games. I never played Overwatch so I can't compare them, but I'm enjoying Mech Arena so far.
I just lost a streak of 250+ yesterday on wordle :(.
Oof. That hurts.
I'm starting to play this game called Guessdle that you can guess an object/place/food. It uses AI to determine if what you asked is right or not until you finished guessing the thing. It's pretty much cool though.
Oh that's a fun one!
Worldle is fun - you get a country outline and need to guess which country it is, plus its neighbouring countries, capital, etc.
Also Wheretaken, which is similar but you get a photograph rather than the country outline.
I love worldle, it's really helped me sharpen up on geography as someone who's already geeky about geography.
The island nations, and trying to guess their "border countries," are really a struggle though.
I like to play the NYT mini crossword every day. I like asking other people for advice on it when I get stuck so it's both a fun daily game and a good way to do a bit of socializing.
I play Flow Free every morning before work.
Genshin and honkai star rail, send help
The closest thing I have are the daily challenges from Hoplite (mobile) and Sagrada (boardgame app). I don't do them all the time but sometimes I do a few days in a row. The Slay the Spire ones can be fun too but too time consuming to do regularly.
Wordle, chess.com daily puzzle, and the Guardian quick crossword are my daily routine. I'm not keen on the crossword and would replace it with a better one but haven't found it yet. Irish Times one was good, long ago.
I do NY Times crosswords. quite challenging as an ESL, but very satisfying. so far I've only been able to solve Monday or Tuesday ones, and I still use the "check puzzle" helper to see how many words I got wrong when I'm stuck, but I don't have to look up stuff online anymore!
The NYT crossword is challenging enough as a native English speaker.
there's another layer of difficulty when you're not from the US, as it often requires you to know stuff from US history and culture that you don't learn and know about abroad. like tHE FUCK KIND OF A THREE LETTER ORG DID NIXON CREATE, WATERGATE IS LONGER THAN THREE LETTERS
I actually know that one, I'm not from the USA either but read it somewhere. It's apparently the EPA.
I try to get in a game of Contexto every day at work when things are slow.
The goal is to find a secret word based on how similar the words you have already guessed is.
You do get unlimited guesses though which is nice.
it's pretty challenging but very rewarding when you finally get it.
This is really fun. Kinda like 21 questions, but infinite questions.
Just tried it, it is fun!
This is really good. After getting the answer, it's fun to try and follow the path of logic to the answer.
I've been playing https://duotrigordle.com/. It's like 32 wordles at once. But despite how that sounds, it's actually easier than Wordle.
The other one I've been playing with a friend is https://framed.wtf/ for figuring out movies by scene.
Thank you for pointing me to framed. I love the concept.
Actually got today's in a single guess!
Same. Had they started with scenes 2-4 I probably wouldn't have though. Usually get it pretty early or not at all 🤷🏻♂️
I like Waffle -- you get five stars if you optimize your moves (leaving 5 swaps remaining when you're done)
I'm a big fan of Redactle.
My best score so far is 1 guess. Can't remember what clue I spotted in the pre-cleared words, but guessed that the answer was 'Ball', and it was. On average though, I'm closer to 60 guesses or so.
Thanks for showing me this. Now I wasted most of my day on this. Really fun.
Kind of spendy and maybe too absorbing, but I've found that the Android version of Dead Cells is a great way to kill anywhere from a little to a lot of time and the touch screen controls work surprisingly well (tho you're definitely going to want a controller for any of the higher difficulty runs)
Heardle. Like Wordle but for music.
My girlfriend and I do like 10 of these every night.
Turns out I don't know anything about music before the 1980s, nor after the 1990s.
This is fantastic for my love of 80s music, thank you!
I like all version of the Nerdles, playing mostly the Classic, Bi, Mini, and Mini Bi. Though they recently added the Crossnerdle and that might be my favorite. You can also make your own Pro Nerdle and send them to your friends with way more operators to choose from!
I commented mathler which seems like a simpler version, but this looks awesome!
