Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer<\/em> No. 141, your guide to the best and Verge<\/em>-iest stuff in the world. (If you\u2019re new here, welcome, I\u2019m newish here too, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer<\/em> homepage<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This week, I\u2019ve been getting back into the Installer<\/em> groove, trying out some ergonomic Switch 2 grips I bought on Etsy<\/strong><\/a>, researching bike stuff because I\u2019m about to get a Velotric<\/strong><\/a> e-bike, inching my way through the fourth book in The Dark Tower<\/em><\/strong><\/a> series, trying to figure out what feels off about Sonic in the new <\/strong>Fortnite<\/em><\/strong> season<\/strong><\/a>, wondering why Mark Zuckerberg needs a castle<\/strong><\/a>, and swatting at a few too many flies that have snuck into the house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This week, I also have for you a clever daily puzzle game, the next Jason Statham action movie, Pok\u00e9mon cameras, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
