    Puzzle Heros rpg - this is a turn based match 3 game with diagonals and a time limit to match as many tiles as you can, this powers up your colour coded heros and you use them to defeat/harvest food based enemies to stock your food stalls. Stalls make money, money levels up heros, etc.

    It’s a ‘reskin’, albeit a very minorly changed one, of Match Quest, and the art/design is all really well done in an old school 8bit pixel style, with some really beautifully done layered scenery.

    It gets a bit grindy and will take forever if you want to win every hero and level them all up to max, but as a casual game to dip into a few times a day to collect profits and loot old levels, and then spend twenty minutes or so playing levels, it’s very fun.

    I also recommend Flappy Dragon. It’s a resin of the bird game, I think, idk I never played that one. The physics is fun and well thought out for each dragon and the dragons all have really nice designs.

    Oh and it’s probably been mentioned a ton on this thread already but Simon Tatham’s Puzzles is a fantastic app full of puzzles that can be played offline.

    Ugh, I would have been a miserable puddle of sensory overload. Kinda glad the nhs doesn’t have the budget for that kind of thing now.

    As far as I know I’m the only one without high blood pressure in my family too, it’s weird how stress can break us so differently despite the shared genes.

    Thank you for the Vitassium link!

    What was the sweat test like? Did they just end up being like, “Yep, you’re all hot and sweaty now. Looks like you weren’t lying about that.” and that was it?

    My heat regulation is completely borked and I pour with sweat if I am moving around for long enough to warm up, it’s awful. I’m on 5 to 10 litres of water a day, depending on if I’m able to get up and do stuff that day or not, I think I’d die of dehydration if I was only on 3.

    Guessing all the electrolytes you’re taking help with retaining the water though? I should look into that, there’s only so much salty popcorn I can eat.

    Yeah but a roll of biscuits where I’m from is a packet of hobnobs, which are already cooked when you buy them and would probably be called something like ‘a stack of cookies’ in your country.

    So in the usa a roll of biscuits is the name for the raw dough in a cardboard cannister, that you portion and bake yourself, right?

    And usa biscuits are kinda similar to english scones.

    So is the packaging pressurised because the dough is yeasted/leavened? Or because of being packaged with a non oxygen gas as a preservative? I know you guys really like long shelf lives with your processed foods.

    Would nitrogen be used? Or is carbonated dough a thing? And would that even work as a preservative or a leavening agent? Nah, thinking about it force carbonation in dough would be likely be bitter and have a really rank texture once baked.

    Ok, so it’s probably nitrogen or maybe bicarb? Would bicarb remain stable and unreacted in the dough for a full shelf life, and still work?

    And I think usa biscuits are unlikely to be a yeasted, I remember usa folk on baking subreddits talking about only ever using yeast for bread and how they found it very weird and ‘not normal’ that yeast in cakes/non-bread baked goods is a thing in other places.
