Curious to know what games y'all have been using, for what purpose, and what improvements you've noticed?
They've been a great addition for me due to instant feedback, constant specific repetition, and they keep me sane because of the game styles.
Currently i've found these helpful, specifically using the games in bullet #1 & 2 daily:
Stimulus X-Ray --> been great practice to parse stims and identify POA better
Logic Blitz, Logic Links, and If-Then Blitz --> Great for conditional logic and i've gotten so much quicker and better in these areas
Flaw Hunter --> havent used as much as the above, but this ones been good as well to help understand flaws quickly
Argument ER --> Has been helpful as well for SA skills
I've tried monster files and numbers blitz, but didnt find them that helpful.
What games have y'all liked or find useful?

I've only tried Stim X-ray so far, been helpful for me to practice parsing stims.
Ive yet to get a perfect run on it tbh
Same thing for me, trick is to just practice and pay attention.
Expecto negation - tough one tbh. Starting to spend time here as i've realized i'm not good at it. Finding the opposite (not the same as negating) conditionals is a mind scramble.
Flaw hunter has definitely helped me in recognizing the basic flaws but I think the most helpful has been logic links. Solidifying sufficient and necessary skills has helped tremendously. I don't make the oldest mistake in the book anymore and I am able to subconsciously apply the rules to particular statements.
The subconscious understanding and application has been huge for me as well. Personally i prefer the blitzes so that i can work on speed, the links are good but after a point it gets easy when you have so much time to chew on it and you dont get as many reps in.
I like Argument-ER, I just hate that there's a timer. If anyone knows how to get rid of it please share.
Yeah i feel the same on some of the other games as well...currently dk if there is an option
Fantastic, I appreciate the insight!
I absolutely hate logic links to a rage. It has too much info to juggle at once, doesn't let us color code to sort easier, so it is all too much for me even at easiest levels. I get frustrated, self-doubt creeps in, and then I just want to give up on this entire thing😭😭
Yeah i feel you, the whole cond. logic lang. was annoying. Maybe you should write down on a piece of paper, its not timed so no pressure. And once you do enough you start to see a pattern that translates to your head
the thing is I do the LSAT games during my commute, so taking the effort to sketch out diagrams is beyond my means
It'll click soon, the more familiar you get with the language the easier itll be to juggle mentally
Just tried "Train of Thought" a few times - it's ok. I definitely struggled with the last 2 questions. The first 3 were very easy imo. The overall use for it i'm not quite sure, but in a way its nice in the sense of warming up for RC.
