As a 20 year “board game person “ I understand what you’re talking about. Many people like playing games, but most “board game people” like learning games. I love playing games and have many games I have played dozens of times (or hundreds if you count digital plays), but an equally enjoyable part of the hobby for me is learning new games. Learning a new game and trying to hold the interlocking systems of rules in my head while trying to deduce optimal strategy is a very enjoyable experience for me. It took me a while (years) to realize how unlike most people I was in this respect. Many people were excited when we first played Settlers of Catan and then Ticket to Ride, so I thought they had the same feelings about learning new games that I did. But ultimately I think they were happy with one or two games and then found the thought of learning new games unpleasant. Whereas I have never grown tired of learning new games.

He was my favorite chess player to watch online. It’s been a few years since I watched a lot of chess, but he was the best. RIP
Yes! I have tried the G2, Pilot Precise V5, Uni-ball Jetstream, Lamy Safari, Pilot Hi-Tec-C, Fisher Space Pen and others over the years and the Vision Elite is by far my favorite!
Sorry to hear that. Usually you should get an initial response within a week or two. I’ll ask around to see if we’re backlogged due to the holidays.

This has not been my experience. I’ve had multiple AirTags notify me multiple times over a period of months that I needed to change the batteries.

I forget things all the time, but I don't like it. I suppose what I imagine I want is perfect recall of everything I've seen, heard, experienced. I get great joy from looking at old photos or videos, and I hate that there are millions of experiences over my lifetime that I can't recall and that there is no record of.
So, yes, I do want to remember everything all the time.
At the same time, I recognize that there are mental health benefits to forgetting things, so I will settle for being able to easily flip through all of my text messages with friends and loved ones.
I think this is interesting, and not necessarily unpopular. It seems different people just think about this issue differently. I do everything I can to preserve every single chat history that I can. And I would like to have every face-to-face conversation and phone call recorded and easily accessible for that matter. I have a sense that I am the sum of my experiences and I don't want to forget those experiences - it feels like I am somehow less than myself if I don't remember them.
But I've seen that episode of Black Mirror, too. So I wrestle with the desire to perfectly remember everything that I've ever experienced vs the mental and emotional health benefits that clearly come from being able to forget things.

I live 20 miles away from the current tallest building in Oklahoma (Devon Tower). If I stand on my roof (for an unobstructed view) I can see it clearly.
This will be 1,907 ft tall vs 844 ft for the Devon Tower.

My grandmother had one of these when I was a kid in the eighties. The story I remember is that it was a free gift with the purchase of an air conditioner. I wish I knew what happened to it! Many hours playing the car racing game. But - I wasn’t allowed to play the dungeons & dragons game.
