Rain lashed against my office window that Tuesday, mirroring the storm in my head after another soul-crushing client call. My thumb scrolled mindlessly through app stores, a digital pacifier, until Tank Stars caught my eye – no tutorials, no loot boxes, just two cannons staring each other down like wild west gunslingers. That instant download felt like rebellion against adulthood's complexity.

Rain lashed against the departure lounge windows as flight cancellations flashed crimson on the boards. My knuckles whitened around my phone case – another hour trapped in vinyl chair purgatory. Then I spotted the pixelated tank icon buried in my games folder. With a tap, Pocket Tracks resurrected itself, that familiar artillery scope blinking like an old friend winking in a warzone.
