    Believe it or not, that is a seriously hard ask for a lot of people, especially the part about the games.

    They should do it anyway, but I bet a lot won’t. Like my uncle used to do the NYT crossword every day in pen. Because he’s super smart and says it’s cheating if you use a pencil. I never talk to him, but he’s probably doing it online these days. Either way, I could picture him in the corner, twitching and going through NYT crossword withdrawal.

      As a fellow NYT-crossword-every-day guy, there’s very little chance he’s doing it on the computer. It’s not the same. It’s like a decades-long pack-a-day smoker switching to vape pens.
