It started the way a lot of unproductive gaming sessions do: I was supposed to be answering emails, a browser tab was sitting open with a physics-based archery game, and curiosity won. I didn't expect much from Ragdoll archers , honestly. Most browser games you stumble across during a work break either run at three frames per second or demand your credit card information within ninety seconds. But there was something strangely hypnotic about the title, so I clicked play. Two hours later, my emails were still waiting, and I was deeply invested in the physics of a floppy archer fighting stick-figure skeletons.

I really only meant to check out Infinite Craft for five minutes while my morning coffee was cooling down. Someone mentioned it in a chat, and the core concept sounded simple enough to test out of sheer curiosity. The premise is that you start with literally nothing special—just four basic building blocks—and see what happens when you smash them together. I figured I would click around for a bit, make a few predictable items, and get back to work. Instead, I blinked and suddenly half my morning was gone.
