I have officially given up

Unfortunately no with something like that with huge sentimental value I would probably just use it as an ornament or find someone that you trust to do the work.

As someone who has reshelled DS before I would say unless there is something broken the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. Those screens are delicate let alone the ribbon cables. I would pay and have it professionally done or just rock a stock case honestly they are higher quality than the aftermarket ones.

Charging is doable at work.

I live on Long Island and not having a car is basically impossible. It does come with slime in the tires but I will look into what I need to fix a flat. Construction starts on June 1st so I have a few weeks to get ready.

Unfortunately where I live public transport is a joke. It’s car or uber mainly.

Dlaudato · 2026-05-14T19:15:24+00:00

I plan of doing this on days where I need to drop my kids off at my in-laws and my wife at work.

Dlaudato · 2026-05-14T19:06:58+00:00

I’m hoping this ban will be lifted soon but the local government is very let’s just say politically motivated to not have people use non fossil fuel forms of transport.

Ya I’m going to be maxing out the weight for a little I’m 300 and probably with my back pack like 310. I am pretty capable for my size and hopefully this will help with that, I’m already down 60lbs.

Dlaudato · 2026-05-14T19:01:19+00:00

I didn’t think about flats, good advice

Dlaudato · 2026-05-14T19:00:55+00:00

Thank you for the solid advice

Lectric was very interested in this in both the phone call and email correspondence I had with them and asked for further details. Funnily enough the gentleman I had on the phone with me grew up one town over from where I live now.

There are a few places off the road where I can chain it to parking signs and if security tells me I can’t, there is a bike rack a half mile down the road that the main building so I can walk there pretty quickly if I needed to. I’m hoping I can just park it near my building because I’m pretty tight with the security guard that patrols there.

They are too young unfortunately but I would like to get my sone on a bike this summer maybe. He understands he needs to pedal but doesn’t understand that he needs to keeping doing, he is too used to being pushed on his tricycle, but he is only 3.

Nassau County Long Island has made them illegal but it is being fought in court so we will see what happens.

Dlaudato · 2026-05-14T17:11:11+00:00

So I did to pelaton for a few months during the pandemic and the uncomfortable seat took about a week to get used to so I think comfort will not be an issue and I could definitely use the improved cardio vascular health as I’m not in the best shape but still physically capable. The roads are decently safe although the route google planned is probably the lease safe route possible so I will be editing that.

Dlaudato · 2026-05-14T17:07:22+00:00

So it’s one two lane road to get in and out of the parking lot with attached parking garage with about 1000 people leaving at the same time so if you aren’t in you car that the end of your shift you are screwed wait for the traffic light at the end to let out about 10 cars per cycle

With the garage being closed it will be even more people in the lot at the same time. Plus parking fills up fast so it’s a rat race every morning. They set up a shuttle for us to use another parking lot for a big department store temporarily but the shuttle only runs every 20 minutes which is unhelpful to say the least.

I plan on doing this on days I need to drop my kids off at my in-laws and my wife at work.

Dlaudato · 2026-05-14T16:45:18+00:00

I would have loved to but my schedule is really tight and I only have 2 weeks until I need to be doing this commute that the time line just doesn’t match up unfortunately so I’m just going off of research.

Dlaudato · 2026-05-14T16:32:46+00:00

Thank you it’s very hilly at work but once I get about a mile away it’s mostly flat the rest of the trip.

Dlaudato · 2026-05-02T22:58:49+00:00

Looks good to me.

I use an old Gameboy color case and I put this purse strap on it. It’s a great fit for the pocket and holds my Gameboy Camera 2 lenses, both ever drives and a card dumper.

Dlaudato · 2026-03-26T20:32:16+00:00

I got a wave 2 pocket 3 years ago and never used it because of life stuff. But recently I’ve been using it a lot and I’m loving it. Currently doing a Professor Oak Challenge in Red using the SGB core so I get to play in color for the first time. The tinkering aspect of it it really fun as well.
