I don’t know where you live, but if you have a Hado arena nearby, then a taster session might be a good gift. It’s an augmented reality sport which can be played casually or professionally. There are arenas all over the world.

I’ve not come across Arteck, thanks for the tip.

BTRFS, wasn’t that Dennis Rader 🤔
I’m getting the impression he worked with brass balls
I’ve consistently enjoyed and come back to the following for years:
I also like to boot up and listen to the Amiga title music for SWIV and the Mega Drive/Genesis soundtrack of Revenge of Shinobi.
