Daymare Town: Game Doodles
Spoilers AHEAD! I’ve found taking notes can increase the enjoyment of a game. And it turns out there are others who are also game note-takers. Mateusz Skutnik‘s new/old game Daymare Town recently came out, and if you aren’t familiar with his work, he is an artist and game developer who has created a number of…

Gamifying Decrapifying: The End
Well, its the end of September, and the end of The Minimalist Game. I’m typing this on the Keychron K3 I am testing still works after sitting in my closet for two years. I just sold it on eBay for $31 as part of the game. I say this is the end but this is…

Gamifying Decrapifying: Week 4
I have literally TWO days left for the Minimalist Game. Its been a great journey, here’s a link to the first week. I’ve still got a lot more crap I can get rid of, which honestly is not too shocking. I haven’t even touched my garage. So who knows, there might be a sequel to…

Gamifying Decrapifying: Week 2
Week 2 definitely upped the difficulty (here is Week 1 btw), but it seems as though it is pretty easy to find things that we can part with. My partner is very much getting into it. She mentioned that this was a good forcing function. There were things she was going to get rid of…

Omniwheels on a Brompton GoRack
My commuter bike is a Brompton P-Line, which I’ve done various customizations on, and I’ve done a couple videos on this topic. This post is about upgrading the wheels on it, and why you should avoid OmniWheels. 😭 The #1 best Brompton upgrade I’ve done is the GoRack. One of my more popular videos is…

Gamifying Decrapifying: Week 1
Like many people, I have fallen into the trap of having way way too much crap. And sometimes I don’t really have a good answer on how to get rid of said crap. Like… what do I do with old electronics and batteries? I also have a ‘man-closet’ full of tools and parts, and a…
