Download this: 'Always Sometimes Monsters' a survival game about modern life

You need to eke out an existence, finding jobs and making money any way you can, not just to try and cover your outstanding rent, but to keep your stamina up.

Week in Preview: Our critics' picks for your next seven days in culture
MUSIC - Newport Folk Festival - In 1959, the Newport Folk Festival was founded, and perhaps the completely unknown Bob Dylan plugged in an electric toothbrush for the very first time. History views the former as significant and the latter as dubious. Dylan will not appear at this year’s event at Fort Adams State Park in Rhode Island, but Jack White, who has been dubbed by Rolling Stone magazine as “rock ’n’ roll’s Willy Wonka,” will. Perhaps he will shock the world by going acoustic. Or perhaps the world has been shocked enough, and all that is needed from the musicians at Newport this year is a diversion to soften the ride. (July 25 to 17, Newport, R.I.) B.W.
