Autocorrect…you’ve screwed me again.

Corporate needs you to fond the differences in these 2 pictures.

My younger one (4) gets scared by Bowser and comes to me. I have to do the same stages over and over for him. But he’s getting better.

The older one (6 now) finished Super Hexagon (all stages) and Ori to 100% completion at the age of 4. He used to ask for help with the last stage of Super Hexagon… That was way beyond my abilities. Really need to get this kid onto Street Fighter to male use of these skills.

You know you shouldn’t joke about these things. These are very serious matters. You’re very lucky and privileged, but some people really struggle. We’ve tried our best to provide you with everything and give you a comfortable life, but don’t forget how hard others have it. You don’t appreciate all this or appreciate us. We still need to talk about your grades by the way.

My wife refers to the electric blanket as the single best thing that has ever happened to her. She says she doesn’t need me anymore.

I’m convinced my wife is at least partially a reptile. The inability to maintain body heat is amazing.

I haven’t tried yet. I think there are videos on YouTube showing Moonlight working well. Don’t know about other apps. I’ve installed Steam Link expecting that WiFi 6 should give a good streaming experience.

Here’s an organ harvesting guide if one is needed.

Alternatively if it has any life left in it, it can always be turned into a PC (or server like you mention).

Works perfectly

AliExpress is really good and reliable now. I get plenty of stuff off there. Linus Tech Tips even recommends it as one of the best places to pick up a bargain on a desktop CPU. They give you a refund if items are undelivered. I look for items with plenty of pictures and detailed descriptions and picture reviews, and I’ve never been disappointed.

The other thing is that lots of deals end up being discussed on HotUKDeals.com and forum users will report back (e.g. cuing a Crucial NVME drive for £30 and posting speed tests and that it’s the real thing).

These plans for tariffs are going to affect Americans badly though. eBay is recommended in that case.

Pocketability is the biggest bonus for me. This doesn’t replace my Steam Deck, it supplements my gaming by making games available in situations where I can’t carry around a giant Deck.

The other issue is that my 4 yr old son has really gotten into gaming (Mario Odyssey) and takes the Deck off me a lot of the time 😄

You’re right, ergonomics aren’t great, but I’m fine with that because it prioritises portability. Better ergonomics can be added with the grip attachment. Although I have giant hands and I’m OK playing extended periods without grips.

Yes, Switch Emulation. The emulation app is called Sudachi (works better than Yuzu).

It’s going to be served by a white faced clown holding a red balloon.

I cannot think of any scenario which makes someone forget what they were in the middle of doing, when microwaving 1kg of ground beef immediately before a flight. WTF

20 cigarettes is healthier than 500 cigarettes, so I’m going to use that and be healthy.

You’re right. Witch’s curse seems more likely.

By going away on holiday and forgetting to throw away perishables beforehand… Or maybe a witch’s curse.

Your parenting mojo

People online tend to recommend therapy to everyone,and I’m sure therapy is great if you can access it. But you can read, listen, watch, learn and improve through self reflection…and heal wounds you never knew about.

The thing I’m really missing is finding a good dad group or parent group to join. I would love some peer support.

I’m good with my parents. They have their normal human flaws, which I accept happily.

Are you a parent yourself? It’s really difficult. You can’t help but bring a lot of baggage. There’s a podcast I lesten to, to improve parenting that runs a workshop called “taming your triggers”. Having children exposes a lot of wounds and personal baggage. It’s really difficult to recognise and address those on yourself as a parent. Your description of expectations from a parent are so idealised, I would argue that there are very few individuals in the world who are actually successful in being that good and selfless.

This is interesting if you’ve got an hour to watch a philosophy video(link goes directly to 53min if you just want to watch a few minutes).
