It was really pretty there. The Rhein runs through town on one side and a wooded area on the other. It is very walkable and there are more cows than people (mostly highland cattle which are worth looking up if you're not familiar). There are three restaurants and a very small grocery store. I lived there because the regional headquarters of my church is located there as well as a very small Bible college (probably some tax thing). I seem to remember that the cheapest gas in Germany is in Büsingen but I walked most places or took the train. I did my grocery shopping on both sides of the border because it was cheaper in Germany but the milk was palatable, good even in Switzerland. It was a bit of a pain to have to use both Swiss and Euro currency but being American I was equally lost in both.

best thing about watching streamers play video games? the inevitable "rage" compilations that show up on youtube. search drdisrespect rage compilation for some real belly laughs

At first I thought that watching someone else play video game is silly. But then, I saw my kids watching their siblings play video games, and deriving joy from the player's accomplishments. The watcher supports the player by giving encouragements. It was actually quite heartwarming.
Then one of two things happen: the player said, hey do you want to play? And they switched roles. Or, more often, the watcher asked to play and the player said no, and a fight amongst siblings ensued, broken up by their mom, and the game system impounded for the rest of the day.
Ah, good times.

I know we laugh at kids watching those kinds of youtube and twitch videos but it's about the same as playing football and then complaining about people watching football. The thing that's more annoying is when you have a game and it just plays itself like those Damned Hero games on Facebook. No real play just sit and let it do the work for you. :(
