From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Depends on your approach. I considered creating a community 'competitive duolingo', but since we already have two duo comms I decided against that:
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 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.
