Someone once called me a big kid for enjoying board games and LEGO. Why are those hobbies mocked when hours of television are accepted without question?
Paper Dungeons introduced me to the joy of marking up game sheets. Here is why roll-and-write games appeal to my love of legacy games, solo play and offline board gaming.
Komoot was supposed to make my cycling trip easier. I found a route on my computer, saved it, added nearby geocaches and set off. After one ride, though, I have more questions about the navigation than reasons to praise it.
I heard about Apple computer price increases just as I was seriously considering replacing my Mac mini. My first reaction was not anger but sadness: planning a sensible upgrade is becoming harder when the market keeps moving the goalposts.
I watched the third season of “1670” and enjoyed it more than the second. It has better pacing, more laughs and the kind of absurd humour that lets you relax without overthinking every scene.
I bought the SHOKZ OpenRun mainly for cycling. After my first ride, I know one thing: these are not headphones for an audiophile, but a sensible compromise for anyone who wants to listen to music, podcasts or an audiobook while remaining aware of their surroundings.
Poczta Planszówkowa is one of those initiatives that sounds simple but addresses the board gamer's exact problem: games are expensive, shelf space is scarce, yet you still want to try more titles.
I used to get on a bike, do 25 km, die and make my next attempt a few years later. Then I bought a legal BESV TRX 1.5 electric bike. After more than 2,500 km, I know it wasn’t about making life easier for the sake of it. It was about starting to ride at all.
