video games. i don't get it.
I'm dating myself here, but the first video game consoles I ever played were the Atari 2600 and Intellivision. I also played games on the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore 64. After that came the Nintendo Entertainment System, and I was more or less the exact age Nintendo was targeting when that system was released. I also had a Sega Master System at one point, then some years later the Nintendo 64. After that, some PC games. Then a few years after that, the very last game console I ever bought, the Nintendo Wii.
And then that was it. I stopped playing video games completely. Well, almost completely. I do play KMahJongg on Linux:
Every year during the fall season, all the Halloween stuff gets put out for sale in the grocery and department stores. The vast majority of what's sold is crap, except for the candy because it tastes better. I explain why that is here.
The other thing that's worth buying are highfalutin candles, if you get the right kind.
On my wrist as I write this is my trusty Casio WS1600H. I wear it because it has almost every feature I want out of watch. The one thing it's missing is multiple alarms. But it has the countdown timer with auto-repeat (I use that often), great legibility, and is light in weight.
But if I want all the stuff, choices are darned few.
