This is actually a pretty nice idea: Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION [TOOL1] [TOOL2] I feel like a lot of people will have an ideological opposition to AI, but that would lead to people sometimes submitting AI generated code wi

Surprised this isn't at the top, alongside Mindustry. 0 A.D. is like a free Age of Empires and is lovely to play! I'd probably also put Luanti up there, and maybe OpenTTD (despite the niche UI).
