Duck Side of the Moon: A Cozy Little Adventure That’s Out of This World

Sometimes I want a game that gives me an adventure without making me feel like I’ve signed up for a second job. 😄 Duck Side of the Moon looks like it could fit nicely into that space, especially for cozy gamers who enjoy exploring, crafting, and gradually improving their little corner of a game world.

And yes, you’re a ducky in space. A cute ducky! I feel like that already deserves a few points.

 A Duck With a Spaceship? Okay, I’m Listening! 

Rather than building its appeal around nonstop combat or high-pressure challenges, Duck Side of the Moon is a casual adventure that gives you things to work toward at your own pace. You can explore, craft useful gadgets, gather what you need, and upgrade your spaceship as your journey continues.

That progression is part of what could make it so easy to settle into. There’s always another improvement to make or something else to discover, but the overall concept feels much more inviting than intimidating.

For cozy players, I think that matters. A cozy game doesn’t necessarily have to be about farming flowers or decorating a cute house. Sometimes the cozy part comes from having an enjoyable routine, making steady progress, and being able to explore without every five seconds turning into an emergency. The only thing that creeps me out is the meteor with the huge teeth.



 Cozy Gaming Can Go to Space Too 

There’s also something wonderfully silly about seeing an ordinary duck placed into a not-so-ordinary situation. You're not hanging around the pond anymore. You have a spaceship to worry about!

The combination of casual exploration, crafting, gadgets, and spaceship upgrades gives Duck Side of the Moon several ways to keep players occupied without relying on one activity for the entire experience. If you enjoy games where you can gradually build yourself up and see the results of the time you've invested, this could be worth keeping on your radar.

It also shows why the cozy category can be much broader than people sometimes give it credit for. Space can be cozy, too. Apparently, we just needed a duck to prove it.

If you're looking for something a little different for your next casual adventure, Duck Side of the Moon may be ready to quack its way onto your Switch, Epic Games, or Steam playlist today. Game on!

Living A Tech-Friendly Life: 10 Ways To Make Your Home... Smarter!

In today's fast-paced world, technology has become an integral part of our lives. From the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed, we are surrounded by different forms of technology that make our lives easier and more convenient. A tech-friendly life is not just about having fun gadgets, but also about utilizing technology in various areas to reduce stress, increase productivity, and improve communication.

One of the most significant benefits of using technology is that it can help us save time. With the help of various apps and software, we can automate a lot of our daily tasks, such as grocery shopping, bill payments, and even cleaning schedules for bots or services. This means that we can spend more time doing things that we enjoy or that are more important to us, such as spending time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies, or focusing on our work.

Another way that technology can help us is by keeping us on task and organized. Voice reminders and to-do list apps are great tools that can help us stay on top of our daily tasks and ensure that we don't forget anything important. These tools are especially useful for people who have busy schedules or who struggle with memory issues. The Echo Show 15 acts as a household hub for family use.

In addition to saving time and keeping us organized, technology can also help us maintain our health. There are various apps and devices that can track our fitness levels, monitor our sleep patterns, and even help us manage chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. By keeping track of our health data, we can make more informed decisions about our lifestyle choices and work towards achieving our health goals.

Technology can also help us create a more comfortable and efficient living space. Smart home devices such as thermostats, lighting systems, and security cameras can be programmed to work together and create a personalized environment that meets our specific needs. For example, we can set our lights to turn on automatically when we enter a room or program our thermostat to adjust the temperature based on our daily routine.

Overall, technology has become an essential part of our lives, and I feel a tech-friendly lifestyle can offer numerous benefits. By using technology to automate tasks, stay organized, maintain our health to the extent that we comply, and create a more comfortable living space, we can improve our overall quality of life and achieve our goals more efficiently.


Here are 10 ways to make your home smarter

1. Install a voice-controlled virtual assistant, such as Amazon Echo or Google Home, to control various devices in your home.


2. Install smart lights that can be controlled remotely using a smartphone app or with voice commands.


3. Set up a smart thermostat that can learn your habits and adjust the temperature accordingly. It can also be controlled remotely.


4. Use smart plugs to turn ordinary appliances into smart devices that can be controlled remotely or scheduled to turn on/off automatically.


5. Install smart locks on doors that can be controlled remotely and provide keyless entry options. Stay tuned for our review of the Brinks Commercial Keypad Entry Lever!


6. Invest in a smart security system that includes cameras, sensors, and alarms that can be monitored and controlled through your smartphone.


7. Set up a smart irrigation system to control the watering of your garden or lawn remotely, based on weather conditions or time of day. Lawn mower bots help keep your lawn nice and neat.


8. Use smart blinds or curtains that can be automatically opened or closed based on a set schedule or controlled remotely.


9. Integrate smart appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, and ovens, that can be controlled or monitored remotely for energy efficiency and convenience.

We can't forget about the cool convenient tech. I had to throw this in there because... come on, who would be against a freaking coffee table that also doubles as a fridge, wireless charger, and speaker system? What?! It also has a built-in touchscreen controller. Soundstream has a cheaper version. -  Blu 

10. Use smart speakers or sound systems to play music or audio throughout your home, providing a seamless entertainment experience.
