Epic story about good and evil.
Swan Song by Robert McCammon, Paperback
If RimWorld is survival storytelling, Stellaris is galaxy-spanning empire-building. Endless replay value, amazing mods, and perfect if you want to lose yourself in space strategy.
Stellaris on Steam
The first of one of the finest trilogies ever produced, your attention will be captured entirely with its excellent story and beautiful vistas.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Hands down one of the most addictive strategy games I’ve ever played. Build, survive, and watch chaos unfold — every story feels unique. Just… don’t blame me when you lose hours of your life.

Food
Eats and drinks I keep coming back to. From pizza to calming drinks to bowls that hit the spot, these are favorites I’d happily recommend to anyone.
Excellent pizza! 1 of 2 pizza places I want to go to if I'm in the area.
Joe's Pizza
A can that tells stress to take a hike. Tastes good, calms you down, and makes a surprisingly solid substitute for that “end of the night” drink. Chill in liquid form. My favorite is raspberry lemon.
Recess Mood
Had this with my wife and it instantly became a favorite. Fresh Mediterranean bowls, endless topping combos, and everything tastes ridiculously good. It’s like fast food leveled up into something you actually crave.
CAVA
The only vegetable juice I actually reach for. Tastes fresh, gives you a solid veggie boost, and the low sodium keeps it from being too salty. Perfect as a quick pick-me-up in the middle of the day.

Tech
Gear I use daily and trust. Solid headphones, reliable printers, quirky gadgets — stuff that actually works and makes life easier or more fun.
If you're wondering whether a shoe can feel like walking on a magic cloud all day, the answer is yes, and the shoe is this. I wear for all day every day, and they are lovely!
GEL-NIMBUS® Running Shoes
Studio classic for a reason. These headphones sound amazing, fold up easily, and just don’t quit. If you want clean, honest sound (not bloated bass garbage), these are it.
Sony MDR7506 Professional Large Diaphragm Headphone
I’ve had these forever and they’re still cranking. Warm, detailed sound that makes music and games actually fun at your desk. When I finally snag a subwoofer (that’s the bass block I need), it’ll be perfect.
A2+ Next Gen Home Music System w/ Bluetooth aptX-HD
Printers usually suck. This one doesn’t. It’s fast, reliable, and doesn’t throw tantrums every time I hit “print.” That alone makes it a keeper.
Canon PIXMA Printers
Your nose, throat, and sinuses will thank you. This thing pumps out a cool mist that makes sleep smoother — for kids and adults. No more waking up dry as the Sahara. Bonus: it doesn’t sound like a jet engine.
LV600S Smart Hybrid Ultrasonic Humidifier
The cube design is weirdly fun, and it keeps my basement from turning into a swamp. Pair it with the LEVOIT humidifier and you’ve basically mastered the air itself. Humid when you need it, dry when you don’t. You’re a weather god now.
Midea 20 pt. Cube Dehumidifier for spaces up to 1500 sq. ft. MAD20S1QWT
Oddly satisfying. Feed it junk mail, watch it chew through it like a hungry robot. Keeps your info safe and gives you that little “shredder ASMR” moment.
Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Cross Cut Shredder
No setup headaches, just plug it in and sound instantly better. Great for recording, streaming, or just making your Zoom calls sound like you actually care.
Yeti - Premium Multi-Pattern USB Microphone with Blue VO!CE
These little stretchy noodles live on my desk. Perfect for fidgeting or pulling on while I’m thinking — keeps my hands busy so my brain can focus. Way better than clicking a pen all day.
Fidget Noodles Stretchy String Toy: Sensory & Fun
A little pocket-sized aromatherapy hit that feels like a minty wake-up call. Peppermint and eucalyptus give you that fresh “ahh” sensation without caffeine or sugar. Not medicine, just a fun way to clear your head and feel a bit more alert on the go.
