Desktop gaming boredom

Those are boring.
Why don't you step it up all the way to something like pong.
Or maybe asteroids.
I hear those are all the rage now.
(course they don't run so well on my commodore 64)
Your sarcasm reflect the shallowness of your mind. I shall continue to ignore you, because it would not be appropriate for me to tell you to go fuck yourself.
Tons of free puzzle type games on the Google Play and Apple App store for your phone. Plants V. Zombies is a classic, but don't bother with Plants V Zombies 2 because it bugs you to buy stuff all the time. Bad Piggies is another solid puzzle game on iOS and Android.
Holy have your cake and eat it too, Batman! Whatever game you do settle on, promise it'll be something single player so no one will have to deal with your passive aggression.
Minecraft is tons of fun plus if you put difficulty to easy you don't have to worry about fighting zombies.
Hahahaha... thanks so much, I've never really understood the phrase "passive aggressive".
Now I do.
I was trying to come up with a snappy rejoinder for you, but I just can't bothered. So, I think I'll leave it up to you... either ignore me, or try my other suggestion.
BTW...whats with your description. It gives us the wrong impression that you're a chick but your posts reveal otherwise. Can guys really be sweethearts?
Most games these days are for mobile. That being said, Windows 10 has a Store app that has games in it. The games inside that Windows Store app are actually mobile games that work with a mouse and keyboard. For the puzzle style games you're looking for, this shouldn't be a problem.
Yeah, I know... many years ago a MPA labelled me a "real sweetheart" and my ego has left it there...
As I get older and grumpier, I have to accept the fact that its time for a change, I guess..
Steam does have a big library of this type of game as well as more conventional action and strategy titles. Many of them are very cheap.
Off the top of my head, world of goo and zentangle are both quite nice. I'll take a look at my library when I get home, I'm sure I have more good ones.

Danolo, you have just had the "pleasure" of experiencing the two low life's of terb.
Don't bother to respond to either one of them, they are a complete waste of bandwidth and oxygen.
Just consider somebody who calls themselves, groogy and nobody, says it all, doesn't it.
FAST
Minecraft is very popular with the 10 year olds (and FAST).
Freecell and Majong are typical timewaster games. They require little concentration or focus, can fill short or long time periods but really are pretty dull. From what I see, and I'm not on pc, most pc games tend to the epic/gory first person shooter games, which doesn't sound like what you want. On the iphone, or android I expect, the more modern timewaster is candy crush or some variant. Little focus/skill needed, can suck you in and waste tonnes of time with little brain power required. That's probably more what you need, but you should still move on and into skill/strategy games to keep from just finding a new, soon to be boring, game.
Asteroids.
(ok, kidding on the recommendation)
Sounds like you might be into old arcade games? There are a ton FREE cute time-wasters available as Flash / Shockwave games. For example:

I'm a racing sim fan, hence my tag.
As some one already mentioned STEAM, the down load (pay) site, I have had no problems with my 1st down load from them, ASSETTO CORSA, and as it was beta when I 1st bought into it, frequent updates and pay additions with no problems.
FAST
Enjoy these Flash sites while you can because major browsers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc. are disabling Adobe Flash, which is required for these sites. You can still enable Flash manually for now. Sooner or later browser won't come with Flash and it will be difficult to download it.
If you're into classic console games like NES, Super Nintendo, Genesis, etc. consider downloading an emulator like SNES9X. It runs a emulated version of a real console and the associated games. In most cases, an emulated game plays almost exactly the same as on the original console and certainly better than any web-site. You can also use your game pad and joystick with these games. Just Google SNES, Genesis, etc emulator and ROMS to find games.
There are sites that offer cheap or discounted games
Gog.com for classic games from the DOS and early Windows era
Greenmangaming.com for new releases
Humblebundle.com for lesser known games while also supporting charity
