Intro post:
My day job is helping people and companies make the best use of the internet. I create and support theatre, spend a lot of time in cinemas, love Terry Pratchett (GNU), and have a tendency to waffle.
I had 15 minutes of fame back on the bird site:

Having lived in Sheffield for more than 30 years I thought that the intensity of local football rivalry was something understandable. However today I was told that police horse shit was a bigger problem in Hillsborough than at Bramhall Lane (and this was a council problem not an SYP one). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting watching how heated some people are getting over what is and isn't a casserole.

Mobile game recommendations please.
Only had and fast rules are no pvp and no social play (guilds where you don't have to talk to anyone but just have to do some daily grind okay).
Puzzles, casual rpg or tech trees (I don't play games because I want more spreadsheets and flow charts in my life).
