As the title suggests, I have discovered something that is either dangerous or brilliant; I haven't quite decided which, really.
Well, okay, both are a bit of an exaggeration, but I have discovered that Switch games that aren't particularly heavy on the action — like, say, turn-based RPGs or visual novels, two of my favourite types of game — are absolutely ideal to play on the exercise bike at the gym. As such, my last couple of sessions have been accompanied by Pokémon Sword, which has been a fine way to take my mind off the inherently repetitive and boring activity of riding the exercise bike.
This is good. If you can make "time go faster", then you can get more done. I've been finding Pokémon so compelling that I didn't look at the clock on the bike at all until I was almost done today. I was starting to flag a bit by then (as were my Pokémon, who had been facing a fairly stiff series of challenges) but I pushed through to the end, and it felt good.
Now, if only I had a steady stream of turn-based RPGs and visual novels to play on Switch to keep me occupied at the gy– hold on a minute!
