It’s Friday
My work is done (ok, nearly), my social calendar is clear.
Now I need some wi-fi, a dark room, snacks and patience as I stalk a Korean teenager across an online gaming universe that has turned me into the most feared assassin on the planet.
Welcome to the gamer life. Casual, committed, hardcore.
“17 million UK women say they game. We use gaming as a way to connect with – and in my case defeat and destroy – our children.”
But it’s not just for the boys. Cosmopolitan magazine has just had one of the world’s greatest gamers as a cover star. Meet Valkyrae.
We’re out there, killing time and competitors on everything from shoot’em ups to Mario Kart. Here’s a quick snapshot of gaming as ladies see it:
Gizmos
Once we’re done gaming, it’s back to the housework of course.
Er, nah aaah. Not so fast misogynists, because we’ve got gizmos up our sleeves, too. Smart solutions to help us clean at a canter. All while we’ve got our feet up.
Robot vacuums baby. Stick the kettle on, will you? I’m relaxing. But when I’m not flat out watching our favourite robotic hoovers, I like to get out there, racking up the KMs.
In that case, I’ll need wearables to track my fitness journey. Tap into a handy guide to what you can wear on your wrist to keep track of your transformation into the next Jessica Ennis.
You don’t have to be out and about pounding pavements. Why not scare the life out of everyone you work with by parking one of these under the desk?
What else?
But what about life beyond gaming and fitness for the tech-savvy women of today?
What about, I dunno, skin care. Specifically, skin care at 35,000ft. Don’t worry about that stale plane air messing up your routine. LED facemasks might be the answer.
