Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. My ADHD thrives on a normal fixed schedule. Emergency field work is always a mental exercise.

GTA VI will be delayed again.

If that means more stuff like Stardew Valley then I’m in.

Yep, the first thing I did on the day the E-Shop closed was I backed up my NAND.

This was my issue. The two times I posted real, actual questions that I needed help with, and tried to provide as much detail as possible while saying I didn’t understand the subject,

I got clowned on, immediately downvoted negative, and got no actual help whatsoever. Now I just hope someone else had a similar issue.

Yep. This is exactly the kind of take that got the US to where it is now. This is the exact sort of thing you’d hear one of those people say.

I really feel like they’d have done a Funtastic series again if they actually truly cared about making money from colors.

You should. Now is the time before they go up in price like everything else. Great little thing for emulation, along with the 3DS. And it has some great games, if you don’t have a Switch. Even if you do have a Switch, there are a few still left on the U.

Huh. So if games are just horribly optimized and hardware costs a fortune, it will push more people to cloud/streaming their games. The corporations just keep winning. What a wonderful timeline we live in.

The only game like this I really play is Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. I refuse to pay real money, so I get two packs a day. It’s good for a 15 minute burst of… not quite dopamine, and then you’re off.

Similarly, Pokémon Quest is a game that falls exactly into this category with a charge system that depletes after every short level and reacharges once per hour, to a max of 5 in the beginning. I played it when new and then just recently went back and played it quite heavily, again. That is until I accidently undid something that took me a week of RNG to get, so I quit.

Generally, I hate the mobile game charge system, though. At that point, I’d rather just pay for a full version. And paying for charges is not the same thing.

If they didn’t want people making mods like this, they should maybe take less than 13 years between installments.

Basically never now, thankfully. My old job would send me out to the field where a lot of the day was spent waiting for things to happen. Luckily those things often involved loud noises, so I’d be woken up and didn’t miss anything.

For more context, I work for an environmental company where part of our work is overseeing the importing and exporting of soil (dirt) and stone (rocks) from jobsites. Depending on where in the state you are, it could be a 3 hour round trip from the jobsite to the quarry/landfill. I’d bring a folding chair, or just sit in my car near where the loading/unloading was.

For import, the dump trucks would roll in and then just dump their whole load. The noise came from the tailgate slamming shut after the entire truck was emptied. It would wake me up every time.

Then for export, a bulldozer would be dumping rocks, concrete, or soil into a dump truck. That was usually pretty loud itself which would wake me up.

According to the weekly dump logs (lol), I never missed a truck.

I would hold things up to the landline phone in an attempt to show my grandparents things.

Funnily enough, the future came full circle.

Reminds me of the time I walked into my room and my computer, without asking me, was in the middle of updating from Windows 7 to Win10. I took my chances and unplugged it from the wall. Nothing bad happened, thankfully. Then I went in there and removed any notion of Windows Update I could find, short of removing the physical bits from my SSD lol

Thank you! I keep getting distracted by everything, as usual. Also your reply is the first I’ve ever gotten on this account, so that’s cool. Nice username too haha, great game.

Huh. TIL. They could have just taken Adderall this whole time. I used to lose so much weight every school year because it absolutely demolished my appetite. Apparently that’s what Adderall was initially created to do. And boy, that’s one of the things it did.

Huh, I’ve only seen dining room tables that could expand using table leafs. The only time I didn’t have that was when I lived away in college because why would we have that if we just ate on the couch lol

Right after I learn about how much of a failure Copilot has been, and they do this. I’m not surprised, but man.

Funnily enough, still TotK. I played heavily when the game was new and completed 2/3 of the main story missions. Then I kind of fell out of it at the 150 hour mark or so while searching for the Master Sword. I didn’t want to look it up, so I slogged a bit while retracing steps. That slog turned into 2024 and newer games came out. Then the Switch 2 was announced with enhanced performance, with a specific mention for TotK, so I held off on playing it. Of course, I was distracted by Mario Kart, and THEN Bananza, but I’m finally back to TotK and it’s as wonderful as it ever has been. I completed everything I was stuck on before, and then some. Now I’m trying to power my armor up before proceeding further towards the final battle.
