For years I just stuck with a flat black wallpaper, as god and Steve Jobs intended. (You couldn\u2019t change your homescreen wallpaper until iOS 4, and I remain unconvinced that was a good idea.)

It\u2019s an indie roguelike deck builder game that feels like <em>Slay the Spire<\/em> and <em>Balatro<\/em> said \u2018Let\u2019s go out for food from a food truck.\u2019 All cards can be mutated and changed via the events \u2014 their values, their effect, what triggers them. Great art and music, solid design, and it\u2019s scratching an itch I didn\u2019t know I had. Awesome game from a 2-person indie dev team.\u201d \u2014 Tom<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">\u201cMy preorder shipped early so I\u2019ve been reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clashbooks.com\/new-products-2\/emo-revival-andrew-sacher-signed-preorder\"><strong><em>Emo Revival<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Andrew Sacher and it\u2019s a 10\/10 so far.\u201d \u2014 @thoughtlesskyle.bsky.social<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/743569\/empire-of-ai-by-karen-hao\/\"><strong><em>Empire of AI<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, Karen Hao.

One person said they don\u2019t install apps with an infinite scroll, which I thought was a good idea. They also have Screen Time enabled to block various things, but their partner holds the password to unlock Screen Time if needed. Clever! Another reader suggested zipping up their phone <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1701640&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fbellroy.com%2Fproducts%2Fall-conditions-phone-pocket%3Fcolor%3Dink%26material%3Dleather_ripstop%26size%3Dstandard%23slide-0\" rel=\"sponsored\">in a phone pocket<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">On my vacation next week, to make sure I actually unplug, I plan to deploy my favorite hack: hiding every gadget with a browser in my daughter\u2019s closet. My only free time where I could potentially slip into mindless scrolling would be when she\u2019s sleeping, but there\u2019s no way I\u2019m risking waking her up just to get out the laptop. More time for the important stuff \u2014 like playing Switch 2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tly2fw0\"><span class=\"tly2fw2\"><strong>Follow topics and authors<\/strong> from this story to see more
