What is the appeal of idle/auto games?

I can't fathom what would draw someone to a game they barely have to interact with. Isn't that the whole point of games, that you take part in them? It's basically a movie at that point, without a story.

Interested to hear from those that actually like them.

Healthy and tasty options?

I've done some decent work lately trying to swap out parts of my diet to get better nutrition, but I wanted to try and drop my body fat % and I'm stuck at a point where further changes just seem like they'd make food depressing.

Unfortunately I have a problem with texture/flavour with a lot of foods that are good for me (can't stand salad, etc) and because I have a sweet tooth, trying to cut out treats just makes me feel like life isn't worth living. But I wish I could actually have more visible abs and muscle.

Does anyone have tips for bringing in other healthy foods and making existing healthy stuff taste better? Also any tips to substitute desserts? I try to use fruit sugars to substitute for chocolate but my brain is too clever to be fooled and it doesn't satisfy me anywhere near as well.

Some examples if it helps:

Likes: Apples, bananas, grapes, plums, strawberries, carrots, peas, sweetcorn, parsnips, broccoli.

Dislikes: Oranges (mushy), raw onion, tomatoes (also mushy), cauliflower (awful), greek yoghurt (way too sour).

Unsure: Cottage cheese (never had), green beans (will eat but kind of bland), avocado (had it once, tasted like sand, not sure it was right), Houmous (eaten before but only 1 flavour of 1 brand was kind of nice).

Thanks in advance.

Always loved this door design

I remember finding this the first time, had no idea just how wild the DLC would be but the door captures all the crazy in the best way

Mp3, different iPod or phone conversion?

Hello, proud owner of an iPod Nano 5th gen that's lasted many years looking for some advice on re-jigging my music game. Right now I share the love between my phone and iPod but it's a bit unwieldly (and my iPod is getting old so I'm worried it's gonna seppuku soon).

Basically, I want one platform so I can listen to music at the gym/whilst boxing and do workout videos via wired/wireless headphones, use in the car (right now I have bluetooth and aux, but I'm assuming it's hard to find aux in newer cars) and connect to my speaker (again, aux or bluetooth)

I need a platform that can take mp3s & mp4s, with a decent sized screen for the workout vids, does bluetooth, a headphone jack and has a good amount of battery life. I don't mind if the controls are touchscreen or buttons. Would the best solution to this be mp3, an older touchscreen iPod or a repurposed old phone, do you think? Hoping to use for a long time.

The workout vids I currently have are about 12GB so I'm probably gonna need 16GB min or 32GB storage
