A postcard I wrote and sent in a single day in December 2021, when I heard that fellow video essayist Sam [https://www.youtube.com/c/Afterthoughts] was working on a project that involved some ideas about games where you do nothing. I’d toyed with some possibly overlapping ideas for a while but never had any idea what to do with them, so they ended up here. Anyway, enjoy.
