OSGL
Feeling tired of designing? Let's play some games. The website "OSGL" (Open Source Games List) is a collection of open source games and 311 game simulators and tools. It has over 1000 games and each game has an introduction and is sorted into categories. This website is an online database completed by many volunteers and it is a convenient place to find information about open source games. Some games can be downloaded directly or played online or through a link to the game's original developer's website. You can also check the latest development progress of the game. It's also nice to play small games during breaks. Oh, by the way, there's a G-EIGHT game exhibition in Taipei from December 9th to 11th, 2022, where independent game creators and players can exchange ideas, so you might want to check it out.
住宅設備ペーパークラフト
I am not quite sure how to classify this website, but in simple terms, it is a paper model provided by a bathroom brand website that allows you to download and print out for free. Once assembled, it will become a three-dimensional model. Most of the materials on the website are categorized as indoor furniture. The name of this page can be translated into Chinese as "Household Equipment Paper Crafts." The main purpose is to allow people to make table-top samples for discussions when planning interior design. Each object will be marked with the estimated time of production and the number of paper sheets required. After downloading, it will be a PDF file. It is suggested to use slightly thicker paper when printing for better folding results. If you don't have thick paper at home, you can go to a convenience store to print on thick paper. That being said, if you want to use it as a paper house and burn it, I guess it should work too (joke).

GameSnacks
Sometimes playing games is a good way to relax, but buying games and only playing them a few times is a waste of money and phone storage. Now, Google's internal incubator, Area 120, has a new project called GameSnacks, which is a platform for games designed with HTML 5 architecture. They are all free to play, even on lightweight mobile phones or tablets, as long as the device has 1GB of memory and internet speed of 1Mbps.
