According to WePC, a firm that specializes in helping gamers build the best gaming rigs for their budgets, as of 2019 there were more than 2.7 billion gamers across the globe. If that number raises an eyebrow, it should, as data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that the world population was right around 7.7 billion at the end of 2020. That means roughly 35 percent of the world population qualifies as gamers. Gamers come from all walks of life, but one thing many have in common is the desire to make their gaming environments as enjoyable as possible. Vari- ous items can help gamers accomplish just that. ■ Chair: In its "State of Online Gaming 2020" report, Limelight Networks found that gamers spend an average of six hours, 20 minutes each week play- ing games. That amount of time playing requires a comfortable chair. Many modern gaming chairs, which resemble office chairs, combine comfort with functionality. For example, some chairs may come with lumbar or full-body support and also include Bluetooth capabili- ty and built-in speakers. ■ Extra monitors: Extra monitors can help gamers take their gaming to the next level. When configur- ing monitors, make sure they're on sturdy surfaces and elevated slightly above eye level, which should reduce risk for neck strain. ■ Backlighting: Televi- sion backlights are strips that can be easily affixed to the back of a gamer's television and help reduce eye strain without adversely affecting the gaming experience. Many backlights come with an array of color options that can make gamers' setups more impressive to look at, even if gamers are more focused on the look of their favorite games than they are their immediate surroundings. ■ Gaming lapboard: Many PC gamers play their favorite games while sitting at desks. A gaming lapboard can be ideal for gamers who want to periodically venture away from their desks while gaming. A gaming lapboard sits right on a gamer's lap, serving as something of a portable desk for gamers who would rather play while sitting on a favorite armchair or couch. ■ Gaming backpack: Gamers who are on the go can benefit from a gaming backpack designed to protect their gear as they travel from place to place. Gaming backpacks may feature soft inner linings designed to hold and protect laptops. Extra com- partments also provide places to store accessories like keyboards, headphones and portable speakers. Gaming is incredibly popular across the globe. Gamers can enhance their experience with various accessories designed to make gaming more comfort- able and immersive. Accessories to enhance your gaming room METRO — Winters are made with the addition of some outdoor recreation. Sleighs and sleds are par for the course, especially when a bounty of snow is in the forecast. Sledding has been part of snowy celebrations for ages. Sledding is a fun-filled activity, but it can be made an even better time, and a little safer, if revelers learn a little more about it. Sled styles Sleds come in many different styles, each with its own advantages. Sleds with metal blades will work like ice skates, balancing riders' weight on two metal runners. These sleds can work well during icy conditions or with hard-packed snow. Toboggans can fit multiple people, which can increase the fun factor and downhill speeds. Saucer-style sleds are good for one or two people. Foam liners on some saucers can absorb shock for riders, making those downhill bumps a little easier on the backside. Keep in mind that sleds with steering mechanisms are easier to control, which can equate to safer sledding. Layer up It is best to dress in layers when going sledding. Even if it seems warm at home, it may be colder and windier at the top of hills. Sweating when it's cold out can increase a person's risk for hypothermia. According to experts at Timberline Trails, a person who works up a sweat and comes in contact with ambient air when taking a break will feel an immediate chill. This is called evaporative danger, and can be remedied by dressing in layers and trying to stay dry. Invest in a helmet Sledding requires the use of a helmet. At high speeds, a blow to the head can cause a concussion or worse. Let others go first Wait until some sledders have already gone downhill, allowing them to compact the snow, which should make for a smooth ride. Choose safe hills, such as those that are free of bare spots, holes, trees, and obstructions, and do not end abruptly at a road. Hills with a long, flat areas at the end make for easy, safe stopping. Safety first Put safety first when sledding. Sled during the daytime so visibility is better. Keep arms and legs on the sled, and only sled feet-first, advises the National Safety Council. By keeping these guidelines in mind, sledders can make sure this popular winter activity is as safe as it is fun. Prepare for a sledding adventure METRO — Carving out some time for personal pursuits can provide a sense of achievement and a break from the daily grind. Hobbies also can improve physical and mental health in a variety of ways. People with tight schedules may think that they're too busy to engage in hobbies. In such instances, individuals should look for activities that don't require too great of a time commitment. ■ Photography: Photos can be snapped just about anywhere and at any time, making photography ideal for busy people. Thanks to advancements in mobile phone cameras, individuals do not even need a high-tech or expensive camera to snap great shots. ■ Cooking: Everyone needs to eat, making cooking a very useful hobby. Many people who cook for pleasure also note how relaxing it can be to prepare a delicious meal. ■ Curating music playlists: People with a love of music can take advantage of the many music streaming services to curate their own archives. Discover new music or find old favorites and then make digital playlists for the activities of everyday life, such as backyard barbecues or commutes into work. Various streaming sites allow users to make playlists public so they can be shared with others who enjoy the same musical genres. ■ Reading: The benefits of reading are numerous. Reading bolsters readers' vocabulary, can teach them about current events, provides an escape, and also serves as exercise for the brain, potentially delaying age-related cogni- tive decline. Reading can be a solitary venture done in short or long periods of spare time. It also can be shared with others through book clubs and other reading groups. ■ Scrapbooking: Pho- tographs are now routinely relegated to the cloud, where they linger in a sort of digital limbo. Scrapbook- ing inspires people to not only print their photos, but to get creative putting them together with designs, sayings and other mementos. Busy individuals do not have to pass up on hobbies because they feel they're short on time. Plenty of activities don't require much time but still provide a host of benefits.
