Welcome to Tales from Chicory

I work all day in front of a computer.  When I want to unwind, I play on the computer.  When I am bored, I turn on the computer.  And earlier last year, after some really bad migraines, I decided that I needed a hobby I can do after work or at night that doesn't require a computer.  Thus this blog.

Wait, what?

I want a hobby that is computer-like, with algorithms, logic, and artificial intelligence, but doesn't require being on a computer.  I dabble in electronics, but find myself using the computer a lot during the process and a computer is required if I am working on microcontroller projects.  I enjoy reading books and experiencing stories, but I can only read so much.

With that, I'm going to try gaming again.  It has the story component I like and involves algorithms and requires logic and thinking.  I want something simple I can do to unwind whenever I have time, so I am focusing on solo gaming.  Apparently, solo gaming has exploded, so much that I am a little overwhelmed.  I'm going to use this blog to document what I find, as well as document my experiences.  I'm planning a mix of reviews and thoughts, as well as write-ups of my stories.
