Plus 1 to this. A lot of great games have broken through to mobile, and are really affordable. Two specific recommendations:

  1. Balatro— if you have any familiarity with poker this will make a ton of sense to you. It's very popular, easy to pick up, and has a lot of depth.

  2. Listen to video game podcasts for recommendations. I love The Besties, but there are a ton. Try the games they recommend. If you like what they say is good, then you've found a reliable source of Future recommendations. If not, try another podcast!

I really do recommend the hobby. It's a lot of fun, there are a bunch of different kinds of games, and the landscape is constantly evolving so there's always something new (or old—retro games are super fun) to discover. Take your time and try a bunch of different things!

We didn't start the fire!

 

I'm at a wedding in Texas. The crowd is a pretty wide age range. This ~75 year old cowboy starts dancing with a 30 something woman. He's got a push broom mustache, denim shirt tucked into his wranglers, brown boots, and... Crazy moves! He's spinning her around, keeping a tight frame, and generally having a great time.

He was looking down most of the time, smiling a little, and just getting into the moves. He clearly put in a lot of work, and really enjoyed the act of dancing. He finished the song with a courteous goodbye, and the woman seemed like she had a great time.

This is a good wedding 😊
