"Only the mad can survive."


The topic of apocalypse in pop culture: Mad Max, Fallout, Twisted Metal are just a few examples, and today I wanted to share with you a gem from my childhood, namely the paragraph game - Highway Warrior.

You could say it's neither a dog nor an otter, but what it's about is that we get a book that we don't read from beginning to end - we get an adventure :-)

After filling out a few final pages, preferably in pencil, we begin the game. After reading the first few pages, the author allows us to decide what to do next. Each choice we make sends us to a completely different page, where we continue reading. Each decision is related to our health points, equipment, and everything we filled out on the final pages.

Even though I vaguely remember the plot and probably cheated a bit with health points, I do remember one thing: it was truly a lot of fun. Whether or not anyone would choose to experience the adventure with a book and a pencil today, in a world where it's much easier to set up a VR headset/play a game on a console/watch a movie, I'll leave it to you.

Now let's check what other readers on Lubimyczytac.pl think about the Highway Warrior.

The game's atmosphere stems from the 1980s, with the entire action taking place in a post-apocalyptic world, in the then-United States, specifically in Texas. The game doesn't carry any far-fetched, deep ideology or pacifist message. This is 300% gameplay. A brilliant and dynamic paragraph game. Your choices and luck will determine whether you survive or perish... This reissue is brilliantly executed!

I borrowed it from the school library as a child. I spent entire evenings trying to get through the book to the end without losing it :D Great. It's always nice to revisit it.

Finally, it's worth adding that the book also caused quite a stir at our company, Pillovely – we spent a long time exchanging impressions and comparing our choices. See for yourself ;)

Loveseat - What Is It, Who Is It For and How to Choose the Right One?

A loveseat is one of those pieces of furniture that can completely change how a room works. It is smaller than a classic sofa, more generous than a single armchair and often easier to place in compact interiors. A loveseat can create a cosy sitting area in a small living room, soften a bedroom corner, complete a reading nook or work as an additional seat next to a larger sofa. Its strength lies in proportion: it gives you the feeling of a sofa without taking over the whole room.

Autumn colors at home – shades that bring peace and warmth

Do you remember autumn from your childhood, when the leaves changed color like a kaleidoscope, and your mom would pull out the pumpkin-colored sweater she'd worn since college? Or those evenings in front of the TV while a storm raged outside, and the lamplight in the house gave everything a warm, amber hue? Those were the days when no one talked about "color palettes" or "color stories"—colors simply existed, as natural as breathing. Today, when we can choose from 50 shades of gray (and no, I'm not talking about THAT book), we sometimes lose track of what truly makes a home feel cozy. At Pillovely, we believe that autumn colors aren't a trend—they're a return to what makes us feel safe. Because "You are someone"—someone who deserves a space filled with colors that snuggle like a grandma's blanket.
