New player monster/object guide
Since there’s no explanation in game of how the monsters behave I’ve put this together with the hopes it’ll make the initial experience a bit less frustrating for new players. Feel free to chime in if I get anything wrong or miss something and I’ll edit it in:
WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO PREFER TO DISCOVER THINGS ON YOUR OWN. SCROLL NO FURTHER

The game is fun but man it was rough figuring out all the monster abilities. I wish they’d improve the monsternomicon to actually tell you what the monsters do. Like I still don’t know how the gnome monster works.

Slice and Dice. Turn based RPG dungeon fighter where your party are all unique dice that you can modify with items and such. The interface is super slick and well done.
I’ve put in hundreds of hours and I’m going to likely be putting in hundreds more. Well worth the price!

Ah reread you message and you were asking specifically about trivia games. I thought you meant party games in general so I’ll just give you one of my favorites anyways!
Just One! - retails for about 20 bucks but you can DIY this with an online random noun generator and some bits of paper and pencils. This plays best with more than 4 players.
Cooperative game where the basic gist is one person is a guesser and everyone else are cluegivers trying to make him guess the mystery word by writing down a one word clue in secret. The catch is before revealing clues to the guesser, the cluegivers have to compare the clues they write with each other and if any of the clues match (or have matching root words) those are taken out and not revealed to the guesser.
Games are out of a total of 13 words and even a getting 7 out of 13 right on your group’s first go is considered pretty good!
It’s surprisingly fun for such a simple rule set since you have to think of good clues but not necessarily obvious ones that might conflict with other people’s clues. I highly recommend it!

Lot of good ones out there that you could probably DIY but some of them work best a certain player counts. How many people are playing?

Casa Bonita Mi Amore! - Documentary on the reopening of Casa Bonita, an aiming gigantic 50,000 sq ft. cross between a Mexican Restaurant and Disneyland. The guys who created South Park ended up buying the place out of nostalgia thinking it’d just need some new carpet and a coat of paint to get back to its glory days but quickly realize things are a lot more complicated. Truly captivating stuff.

- Comment on What are the differences between unsaturated, saturated, monosaturated, polysaturated, and transaturated fats? 5 months ago:
Saturation when it comes to fats refers to how fully saturated with hydrogen atoms a particular fat molecule is. The more hydrogen atoms a fat molecule is missing from being fully saturated with hydrogen, the more double bonds there are within the fat molecule.
These double bonds introduce kinks that change the shape of a “fully saturated” fat molecule from mostly straight to one that has a bend in it.
Saturated fats are generally straight in shape because they have no double bonds within their hydrogen-carbon structure and thus no bends.
I’ve not heard of the term monosaturated or polysaturated or transaturated myself. I think you mean to say monoUNsaturated polyUNsaturated. Monounsaturated fat means a fat that has one double bond so one bend in its hydrogen-carbon structure. Polyunsaturated fat is a fat that has multiple double bonds and thus multiple bends in its hydrogen-carbon structure.
Trans-saturated fats are made by taking unsaturated fats (mono or polyunsaturated) and bombarding it with hydrogen atoms along with a catalyst to remove the double bonds in the hydrogen-carbon structure and turn the mono/polyunsaturated fat into a saturated fat.
The issue with adding hydrogen atoms this way is it fucks with configuration of the hydrogen-carbon structure turning it into a “trans” configuration that our bodies really do not react well to.
Most of our cell walls are made from mono/polyunsaturated fats so those are more useful to our bodies and taking those are generally better for us than unsaturated fats are. Trans fats don’t often occur naturally so our bodies don’t really know what to do with them and kind of throw a tantrum when it sees one.
TLDR; Saturated fats are straight in shape, mono/polyunsaturated fats have one/multiple bends. Our bodies need more mono/polyunsaturated fats compared to saturated fats. Trans-saturated fats are artificially created saturated fats made from mono/polyunsaturated fats and are the devil
