I have a copy still and was thinking of firing up the ps3 to give the full flashback experience

I couldn't find it so I drew myself holding the game in lieu. If I find the game I'll make an update (which now I need to go find it because I know I have it)

Ok, so I was like "I bet it's with the ps3" but I already drew the picture so here's the photo:

As a kid I'd 100% dilute half and half or cream and use that

Only reason I don't anymore is because I can't do dairy

I tried the site; it must not like Firefox. But I grabbed the app! I love the variety, I'm overwhelmed with choices. Thank you for the heads up, I appreciate ways of broadening my horizons

I still have it around somewhere in hopes I can fix it

When I got it, my family said it didn't work, it had some weird error. I charged it and turned it on so they were like "sure you can have it"

It was my first smartphone,. actually, and I used it for quite a while until it died again. I don't remember the error, but it was basically bricked and I couldn't factory reset it via the phone menu. I had a very young child and trying to figure out the android sdk for a computer to fiddle that out was too taxing for me

I really liked that phone for sure. I'm sure it's a lot of nostalgia, but I miss the older simpler phones. Much easier to handle, too.

I've currently just been using every couple generations of the Xa model. This one's a pixel 7a, last was a 4a which the child has now. It's got severe battery life issues after that update recently but I haven't looked into it too hard. Been wanting to look for some alternatives and I'm leaning towards something unconventional, at least by today's standards. I checked out that phone and it really looks good, both aesthetically and specs wise

I had a Nexus that I got as a hand me down. It had a ball with customizable colors

The next one I had after that had an led you could customize for different types of notifications

Careful; don't be too short or you might also become a threat. It's her advantage, being so short

"here's a list of shitty things you've done and said"

"but that makes me look bad!!"

Oh I made another comment but this was what I was talking about! I was talking to my partner about it last night after watching the CES video. I couldn't remember the name but this is exactly it

I said it was "Rock Pops" because i think that's great

I watched a video about the worst of CES. I was kind of amused that some of the winners of worst-of weren't even new ideas

There was a candy I remember that from a long time ago, idk 2000ish? It was a lollipop you bit down on and you could hear music played through your teeth. I never tried it but it was sold where I worked

Another idea, the worst of the worst, was the smart fridge. I remember from business classes I took many years ago used that as an example of innovation. Or a "smart" microwave. You let it know what ingredients you have, for example by scanning the barcode, so it can recommend recipes or alert you when something is running low

The rendition of those ideas at the CES were so out of touch

That is a sassy look. She's beautiful btw! I can understand the strict regimen better

What I imagine is besties; driver is indeed a gay guy but there's a scrappy chick who's down for anything riding along

I don't know where to find it, but it gives me the vibes of this clip I saw: chick getting regular voice comms harassment in a game and she replied (as close as I can remember)
"I'm going to fuck your dad and give him a child he can be proud of"

This is a great read; it posits that nautilus did have a mucous layer that is no longer present, but other cephalopods' complex eyes may have evolved from that

I love these little guys! I may have known before, but I learned the eye thing from this video yesterday actually (just to give credit where it's due):

The titles are:
"Reaper Man", "Small Gods", "Wyrd Sisters", "Moving Pictures"

Went to an adorable book shop and found these guys. I haven't read Pratchett yet but I feel it'll be right up my alley

I'm pretty sure I see "Small Gods" and "Wyrd Sisters" recommended a lot and I know you can't really go wrong, but of these which would you recommend the most? Since this is what I have I'll read them all eventually

Regardless I'm excited to have gotten physical copies because my library has long wait lists for his books

Edit: Thanks for all of the discussion! This post brought me a lot of positive on an otherwise rough day. I've decided to start with "Small Gods"

I just want to say again thank you to everyone who responded to me or to someone else. It's been a joy hearing what each person has to contribute to the conversation

Even if they fall flat (which I highly doubt) all of your enthusiasm came through and that really in itself means so much. It was truly touching

 

2 adults and 1 younger teen

We're going on a two week road trip that'll be fairly leisurely. Stopping by some parks and sights as we go and a few nights at our ultimate destination

I had my car recently serviced. It all checks out

I have a steam deck on the way! Any recommendations here for travel accessories? Or just in general?

We've all got devices and chargers and their respective blocks. I'm looking at a power inverter for the hungrier devices
I was debating bringing the oculus to give whomever a bit of isolation if they need; is there anything specific I'd need to do to use it where there's no internet? I haven't used it enough to be very familiar with most of its abilities

We adults have ps5s. Most likely won't bring one. I've seen portable monitors that people use with a local device; does anyone have experience using one for remote play for the ps5?

And making sure we've got entertainment downloaded to our devices; obviously books and offline/non electronic entertainment will be brought, as well

I'm really looking forward to this and want to make it the best experience for all involved! I look forward to hearing your tips

Edit to add: the point of the road trip is to bury my grandfather. And I'm petrified of flying in the current state of the US

Since we HAVE to make this trip we're trying to make the most of it by stopping by some state/national parks and other landmarks/pois during which we'll be present. But there's going to be LONG stretches of literally nothing exciting. Like corn fields. Many hours of corn fields. Most days are 6 - 10 hours in the car
