    I had to laugh so much when the Jet Lag people said, I'm paraphrasing: In Japan the trains are always on time which makes the game too predictable. In Italy they are only sometimes delayed, and by small amounts, which is perfect for the game. However, in Germany there are so many delays and outright cancellations, we won't play in Germany again.

    It'll be a heavy bike, though.

    Something like the Buffalo S2: simple, reliable, durable, versatile (and cheap), checks all the boxes for what I want out of a bicycle.

    It'll be a heavy bike, though.

    The latest Guild Wars 2 expansion. It's more of the same, exactly what was expected. It's still a great game to just run around in and join whatever random groups you run into. Not much thinking...

    For me personally I have no trouble avoiding the facebooks, twitters, and amazons. But the damage they do does affect everyone, unfortunately.

    And Chrono Trigger a bit. The original SNES version. Not hurrying, just enjoying it all. Will probably take me a few months to finish, all in all, even though it's supposed to be a short game (for its genre).

    The original PS2 version of Katamari Damacy. It's still fun in 2025, even though the controls are sometimes a bit slow. The main game is only 10 short levels, which I can appreciate.
