The big idea: how games can change your life To get the most out of play, we should embrace it for what it is, not as a way to hone skills or train our brains

Here's a piece I wrote for the Guardian a few weeks back about why we should play for play's sake. If you look *very* closely at my writer photo you'll see I'm wearing a Pokémon shirt.

A shot of The Game Changers, by Tim Clare, a hardback book featuring the title in the middle of a stylised teetotum esque spinner, surrounded by green yellow red & blue circles suggesting a ludo board.

Ay yo if you like tabletop games my book The Game Changers is out in UK shops now. It's the story of how games changed the world, 'told,' according to sickly organ of British right-wing disgruntlement The Spectator, 'with compelling panache.' You MUST buy it; that is the law.

TFW you had a brilliant idea that will both close a plot hole and raise the stakes in one fell swoop, but the idea is genocide. Two of them, actually.

My Keychron K6 battery is dead after 4 years of daily use and it’s sold out.

Any recs for a new mechanical keyboard?

RGB, US layout, Mac layout, tenkeyless, 65%, both wireless and wired, gateron red switches, better if hot swappable but not necessarily, shipping from Europe.

I thought so. I remember German airports a few years ago being already more advanced than Italian ones 😅

Where in Europe?

Sooo Loki season 2 is about RxJS then.

I hereby declare [repost and continue]

I just solved 3 plot points + introduced a mid-book twist with one fell swoop.

I feel good right now 😎

I’m sorry?
