I hear you on those problems. Still, this Internet rando fully supports what you are doing. I applaud you keeping this perfectly functional tech out of a landfill or ekectronis recycler or whatever. I hope you can find the sector that you seek who will take and love these gagets.

I bought a Zojirushi water boiler. It keeps up to 4L of water at any of 4 set temperatures ready to make tea at any time. I love it. It has a vacuum sealed inner tank so it doesn’t use much electricity to keep the water hot once it is up to temp. When it is getting low I just top it up. I let it go 24/7 and it has been amazing.

Mega man 2. It was my first Mega Man fame back in the day and I played the shit out of it. So I just play it every so often and it is just so comfortable for me.

Honorable mentions: soul blazer on SNES, the first few levels of the original DOOM, the first TMNT game on Gameboy, it is terrible but just so mindless and short.

Agree. I never cared much for the original FF VII. To be fair I am old enough where I started with the first one on NES, so VII was not my introduction to the series like it was for so many others.

I do really like remake though. I thought they did an excellent job with it.

As a long time Nintendo fan since the NES, Switch 2 is the first Nintendo console (except Virtual Boy, I suppose) that I did not go out and purchase day 1. I still have no real interest.

I like physical carts and the idea that a cart is really just a license key to download a game is a no-go for me right from the start. $80 games. So heavily tied to the online account that any ban, accidental or otherwise, effectively bricks the console. No games that interst me (other than Metroid, which I just bought for Switch 1).

Add all that together and I don’t know if/when I will ever get a S2 at this point. Maybe in a few years second hand. We’ll see.

Lies of Locke Lamora - Scott Lynch

Kind of like Ocean’s 11 in a fantasy setting with some of the best snarky dialogue I have ever read.

Oh wow pricey! Was hoping I could find them for a dollar or two. My preference is to not detroy another original just to save these. Only one of them seems to be worth anything (Gargoyle’s quest) the other two are common inexpensive games so likely not worth destroying another game of like value. Thanks for looking tho

Played several games this year I liked.

Hollow Knight with the release of Silksong I figured I should probably finally play this. Great game and deserves the praise it gets. Didn’t get anywhere near 100% completion on it but I am OK with that

Strangers of Paradise played on PS5. Once I figured out the battle mechanic I fell into a rythem with this game and really liked it. Ended up getting the platinum for it because I wanted to keep playing.

Iron Meat finally got a chance to play this. Really fun if short contra style shooter game. Ticks all the right boxes.

Lately I have been playing some classic games and getting retro achievements for them. Fun way to experience my old favorites again with new challenges. I recently played Zelda LTTP and got all the RAs for it. Some fun challenges for the game

Honorable mentions: Cyber Shadow, Firewatch, Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Try grilling it. Take your dough and use a silicone brush to cover one side with olive oil, slap it on the grill for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is cooked and maybe starting to brown a bit. While that is happening, cover the top with OO. Once the bottom is cooked, flip the dough and add on your ingredients. Cook for maybe 5 minutes on medium to med-high heat. Until the bottom begins to char and the cheese is well melted. Serve!
