Game! Post-taxes treat

If you're in the US, you've finished your taxes, right? I finished mine last week, which was a big relief. There was a lot of extra figuring things out and looking at past mistakes and figuring that it wasn't worth the $100 I'd get back to file an amended return because it was certain to cause further trouble, and also it is not easy nor convenient to file amended returns. I might still change my mind, but that's the calculation for now.

Anyway! Now that we're done with our taxes (or other mid-Spring tasks in other countries), it might be time to spend some time on a game.

I happened to notice that Monument Valley had an update, and cautiously* downloaded it. Turns out it's the 5 year anniversary of the app, and they've added a lot of little extra touches that make it entertaining to play through again. It sounds like the special effects go away May 1, so download it soon if you're interested. It was free to download the update. If you don't already own it, I think it's definitely $3.99 worth of entertainment.

* cautiously because of my experience with HexT. Do NOT download the latest HexT update. They've added really annoying ads. Fortunately I had a backup I could put back on my phone, so I'm still enjoying playing that, occasionally getting to 14, never (so far) reaching 15.

Ooooh! If only Monument Valley wasn't so hard.

(Yes, I will admit that I suck at phone games.)

I almost got caught in the HeXT trap, and then I realized I use iMazing to manage my iPhone. It makes maintaining multiple versions of all my apps easy-peast.
