PS2 or PS1. I played the PS2 more than the PS1 but the PS1 is more nostalgic for some reason. I don't think the games were better per say but I have fonder memories on SO2 than eg. Til the End of Time. Really wish they'd remake Tales of the Abyss tho

Exercise. Partly because I've gotten into a sport, but I also just enjoy seeing myself get into better shape even though I'm getting older. Things that felt physically impossible to do 90 days ago feel like a breeze now. Being at my desk for 8 -12 hours out of the day is way more exhausting than spending 2 - 3 hours at the gym.

3 rep tracking is better than 2 which is miles above 1 in my opinion. I got the Instinct 1 as a gift during the pandemic and hardly used it because it would drop reps too often to even be useful at the gym. The Instinct 2 was a decent upgrade for this in particular, but I would say the HR monitor in the Instinct 1 seemed slightly more accurate than the Instinct 2's. I'm really happy with the Instinct 3 though. It seems like Garmin has addressed all my own complaints about the Instinct 2.

As for sweat, buddy I'm right there with you. I have to peel clothes off after every session but both the 2 and 3 don't seem fazed by my sweaty arms. I do try to tighten my band a notch before each session to get accurate HR and that seems to help a lot. My only advice is that if you're going for the 3 just grab the AMOLED version unless you're outside A LOT. I originally got the Solar and it just would not hold a charge well even if I did frequent hikes. Returned it and swapped for the AMOLED and it's generally holding a charge for me for ~ 18d with Pulse Ox turned off. No real complaints with the 3 just that I liked the displays on the 1 and 2s more than the colorful display of the 3, but functionality-wise it's a step above both of them

I use both a Garmin Instinct 3 (AMOLED) and a Garmin Instinct 2. When I bought them I added ~ 25 Workouts I do normally. After that I paired it up with GadgetBridge. I use it to track my gym activities and sleep patterns. I hardly ever use the GPS feature, but sometimes I use it when I'm hiking.

Just over 6 hours into Children of Dune. I read through the series when I was 10 years younger, but always skipped this one. At the time I just didn't have this book though I had the rest. I like it so far; lots of the same overall concepts coming over from Messiah. I had an idea of what took place in this book, but I'm really enjoying the subtlety here even more than the previous 2 books.

Current rotation looks like

  1. Caves of Qud
  2. Space Warlord Organ Trading Sim
  3. Streets of Rogue
  4. Drova Forsaken Kin

All of them are sub 20GB, heck they might all even be sub 10 GB

Camo is probably cosplay when they're hunting deer, but the orange vest is specifically for other humans who somehow have worse eyesight than deer and will shoot you because the camo worked on them better than it worked on the animal they're hunting.

Here in the US, Passport services are more often handled by Post Offices. Some Libraries and other government offices handle it as well, but that's mostly in metropolitan areas. So if you wanna leave this shithole you'll likely find yourself having to visit one at some point. Doubly true if you're unfortunate enough to be in a rural part of the US
