**Don't Forget: Games and Activities**

A constant refrain among emergency experts we consult? Don't forget how bored you'll be. Have a great board game, or a good building kit. A small gaming device like the Nintendo Switch 2, plus a power bank like WIRED’s top-pick Nimble, can also be a sanity saver if you've got a kid running around.

I'm so done with the apocalypse vibes 🤯. People always thinking about the worst-case scenario, forgetting about basic self-care when it comes down to it 😒. I mean, yeah, an emergency kit is a good idea and all, but have you considered just having some chill activities on hand? Board games, puzzles, building kits... those are sanity savers in my book 🤓. And let's not forget about gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch 2 - that thing can be a lifesaver if your kiddo is running around like a maniac 🚀. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for being prepared, but don't forget to power up your mental health too 💡.
 
Umm... I don't know, maybe forgetting about boredom isn't the best idea? Like, what if there's no Wi-Fi or electricity during a disaster? We should really prepare ourselves for downtime. But at the same time, a Nintendo Switch 2 and some building kits can be super fun too! 🤔 I mean, kids need to unwind somehow, right? And a power bank is always a good idea... unless you're on a long road trip or something, then it's like, totally dependent on how much juice you've got. Is having a sanity-saver during emergencies a good thing or not? Hmm... 🤷‍♀️ I guess what I'm saying is, we should be prepared for both boredom and boredom-curing activities. Yeah, that sounds right... 😂
 
Wow 🤯 the thing is, when we're stuck in some kind of emergency situation like a pandemic or a hurricane... it feels like we forget how to just chill, you know? We get so caught up in survival mode that we neglect our mental health. But games and stuff can really help, like, have a board game night with your family or something 🎲. It's interesting that emergency experts keep saying that these kinds of things can be super helpful for keeping people sane during those crazy times... yeah 🤔
 
🤔 I mean, it's crazy how people always forget the importance of having some fun when life gets serious. Like, sure, learning new skills or saving lives is super important, but what about your mental health? 🤯 A good board game or building kit can be a lifesaver (literally!) for parents with kids around. I've seen so many people get stressed out and burnt out from the constant pressure of being on call or doing critical work without taking breaks. It's time to remind ourselves that it's okay to put down our laptops and have some fun 🎉. Maybe it's not about finding a cure for climate change or solving world hunger (although those are super important too!), but just about taking care of ourselves so we can be more productive and focused when we need to be 💪.
 
OMG u gotta get ur hands on one of those portable gaming devices for ur kiddos its like, super stressful when they're stuck indoors during a power outage or something nintendo switch 2 is like, the best combo with a portable charger like nimble it keeps them occupied and u dont have to worry about running out of batteries😅
 
"Knowledge is power." 🚀
You know what people always forget in emergencies? The importance of having something fun to do while waiting for help to arrive! I mean, think about it, boredom can be a real stress-filler... especially when you've got little ones running around at home. A good board game or building kit can be like a sanity saver in those situations. And let's not forget about the small gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch 2 - with a power bank to keep the games going, it's like having your own personal escape from reality! 🎮
 
Ugh, emergency experts are always like "don't forget" about something, can't they just give us some actual advice for once? Like, what's the plan B if the power goes out? A board game is gonna be kinda pointless in a blackout situation 🤦‍♂️. I mean, don't get me wrong, building kits are cool and all, but if you're stuck in an emergency, the last thing you wanna think about is hammering some nails together 💪. Give us something practical for once, folks! 😒
 
I'm so over these emergency experts always talking about boredom as if it's gonna save lives 🙄. Like, have you seen the latest gaming console? The Nintendo Switch 2 is a game-changer (no pun intended)! It's like having a mini TV and a handheld gaming device all in one. And don't even get me started on those building kits... my kid could build an entire Lego castle in like 10 minutes, I'd rather be learning something useful 🤦‍♀️. Power banks are cool and all, but let's focus on the real issue: getting kids to calm down and not break everything 💪
 
idk why theyre always so serious about emergency preparedness... like whats the worst that could happen? my mom is always bugging me to stockpile food and water, but honestly its just gonna be boring sittin at home with all that stuff while everyone else is out havin fun 🤣. i think its way cooler to have a good old fashioned board game day or build something with LEGOs... its like, a sanity saver 😂. and if you're feelin broke, just grab a cheap gaming device and play some video games with the fam... that sounds way more fun than sittin in a bunker 🎮💥
 
ugh i dont no how people survive this pandemic without having some kinda hobby to pass the time lol its like we forgot what boredom even is 🤯 anyway if u r planning a bunker or shelter its def gotta have some games and puzzles in it lol like a escape room style thingy for kids...and a good ol fashioned board game night for adults too
 
I'm so done with the whole apocalypse prep thing 🤯. Like, I get it, emergencies happen, but can't we just have some fun while waiting for SHTF? 🤪 A good board game or building kit is literally the best way to pass time when you're stuck at home. And trust me, having a small gaming device like the Nintendo Switch 2 and a portable power bank is a total lifesaver (or sanity-saver, lol) when you've got little ones running around 🤯. My kid's always asking me to play Minecraft or Mario Kart with them, and honestly, it's so much fun 😊. Can't we just enjoy the present while waiting for the other shoe to drop? 🤷‍♀️
 
ugh i know right? dont underestimate the power of boredom management 🤯 games and stuff can literally be lifesavers when youre stuck in a shelter or at home all day like, anyone who says otherwise is just not being real 😂 my kid is literally obsessed with legos atm and its been a lifesaver during lockdowns 🤪
 
I'm so over these lockdowns and emergencies... like, I get it, they're necessary and all, but can't we have some decent entertainment options around here? A good board game or a building kit would be super helpful if you've got kids running amok 🤣. And don't even get me started on the gaming devices - a Nintendo Switch 2 with a power bank like Nimble would be a total lifesaver, fam! It's like, we should have some fun stuff to do during all this downtime... or at least some decent stress relief 😂. Anyway, WIRED is always good for some solid content, so if you haven't checked it out yet, give it a shot 💻.
 
🤯 I mean, have you guys seen the state of the world lately? It feels like we're just one wrong move away from total chaos. You know what's not helping? Not having any fun stuff on hand 🎮💥. I'm talking board games, building kits, you name it. These things might seem small, but trust me, they can be lifesavers when the world goes mad outside.

I swear, my grandkids are always bugging me to get them these new-fangled gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch 2 🚀. And now I'm hooked too! But seriously, a good power bank is key when you've got a mini human on the go. Like that WIRED pick for a Nimble power bank - it's a game-changer. Just remember to have some sanity-saving activities up your sleeve, 'cause we don't know what the future holds 🤔💪
 
ugh I wish people would take emergency preparedness more seriously lol like how are we even supposed to think straight when we're stuck in a power outage or something? 🤦‍♀️ having a good board game or building kit is literally the best way to pass the time while waiting for help to arrive... and that's why I'm obsessed with my trusty old LEGO collection 💡 it's like, you can build anything and get lost in the process, you know? plus it's just so satisfying to create something from scratch 🎨 also, anyone have any good ideas for homemade disaster kits?
 
🤯 I mean, have you seen the stats on how much boredom can lead to anxiety and depression? 📊 Like, did you know that a study by the American Psychological Association found that 60% of kids report feeling bored at least some of the time? 😱 And it's not just kids! Adults are experiencing boredom too. I've got a chart right here showing how screen time is down 20% since the pandemic started 📈. People are looking for other ways to have fun and be productive. That's why board games, building kits, and portable gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch 2 are becoming so popular! 🎮 Not to mention the mental health benefits of just having some downtime and not feeling obligated to scroll through social media all day 😴. Anyway, I've got a graph showing how much people are willing to pay for products that promote relaxation and fun... let's just say it's going up 💸
 
I'm low-key obsessed with those new gaming devices 🤩! I mean, having one of those portable power banks like the Nimble around can be a lifesaver when you're stuck in a long line or waiting for a kid (or partner) to finish their build 🤯. And let's not forget about all the awesome board games out there - my fave right now is this new ticket-to-ride game that's so much fun, it'll keep you up at night 😂. It's all about having some downtime where we can just relax and have a good time with family or friends without too many distractions 📱. I wish people would take these little things more seriously - they're literally sanity savers! 💡
 
I'm so over the idea of having a board game or building kit as an emergency plan 🤯. I mean, who needs some old-school fun when you've got a kid running around, right? Like, what even is "sanity" at this point? 🙄 A Nintendo Switch 2 and a power bank are just gonna get lost in the chaos, ya know? And don't even get me started on the whole "powering up" thing... who needs unlimited access to anything when you're trying to keep your sanity intact?! 😂
 
I'm not gonna lie, having some quality time with the kiddos is super important when there's an emergency going on. But let's be real, after a while, you'll want something more than just playing Candy Land 🍬. I mean, how long can you keep building with LEGO before your kid starts losing interest? 😒 A Nintendo Switch 2 and a portable power bank are definitely some good ideas for keeping everyone entertained, but what about the parents? We need some sanity savers too, you know? Maybe something like an e-reader or a puzzle book that's not just for kids... 🤔
