Creators, afaik, make money mostly from merchandises, patreons, memberships, superchats,... not ads.

Ads are how Google makes money, which is fine in principle, except that Youtube is supposedly a "hosting platform" with all privileges associated, eg not being subjected to broadcast regulations, but acts like a broadcaster by promoting some content over another according to what'll make them more money. If the internet worked like Youtube, you'd type wikipedia's url in your browser, and instead it'll redirect to some ad-ridden clone.

J'ai pas de handicap moteur, mais j'ai tendance à privilégier les jeux qui se jouent qu'à la souris, parce que je suis assis sur mon fauteuil avec la souris sans fil sur l'accoudoir, et j'aime bien lancer un jeu pour quelques minutes sans me lever pour attraper mon clavier et le mettre sur mes genoux.

Enfin bref, je conseille Dwarf Fortress (version Steam), et Caves of Qud.

"Einstein puzzle" by Flowix games, copyright 2004-2005

I play it from time to time, to see if I can still complete it in under 4 minutes and my brain isn't slowing down too much with age.

Technically, Dwarf fortress is the oldest game I still play, but I only got fully into it thanks to the non-free Steam version.

I use Calibre to manage my librairy on my NAS, and COPS (https://github.com/seblucas/cops) to access it from anywhere. COPS just read the Calibre database saved on the NAS, and displays it as a self-hosted web site with all categories (authors, ratings, languages,...) and download links.
