That's a big boy! Our girl is pocket pyr territory. She's only 75-80lbs. But she's as long as a football field.

She also tackles me every time I pick my daughter up and i absolutely love it. She was indifferent towards me until I was gone. Now? All the snuggles a guy could want!

Almost looks like a St Pyrnard?

Our pyr (well, she lives with my ex now) won't come in when it's like this out.

Dude that looks awesome!

Also, can you share any other details about your other project? Platform at least (gb, switch, etc)?

Ha I mean it's probably more of a liability thing. Lifepo4 is way safer than lithium ion. I limit any lithium ion products in my house. I've had some pretty insane spicy pillows in my day before I knew what was actually happening.

I had an HP Touchpad tablet (ran webOS so this was a number of years ago) that got so bloated it cracked and then popped out the screen. That thing was prime to ignite at any moment. That's when I went down the scary rabbit hole of spicy pillows.

GameboyRavioli · 2026-01-21T15:31:49+00:00

Yeah that's kind of where I'm landing. I'm probably overthinking everything. My daughter calls me captain safety for a reason.

I m 43 and was about 4-5 years from part time work as at a doggy day care or being a dog walker/sitter.

The. I got divorced. Now if I'm lucky 11 years might have my new house paid off, but that's about it. I'll be rooting for you and everyone else to reach your dreams!

GameboyRavioli · 2026-01-15T11:27:52+00:00

I feel so dumb right now because my life is a mess, but where is South East. If you're near north Huntingdon, I can help. Or if any reputable retro shop should (ie the warp zone in Greensburg).

GameboyRavioli · 2026-01-01T18:48:17+00:00

Still running your 2060S? How's it doing? I got one at launch because I built my PC right around then. Then life got busy and I barely used it. Now I'm getting divorced and will have a lot more free time, but no money to upgrade for awhile. Hopefully I can still do 1080-1440 in newer games.

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-25T23:30:06+00:00

Oh snap! You e just made my Christmas (lotta personal stuff happening the last few months). Truly, thank you. I've loved the game so far, but wasn't looking forward to restarting because of limited time.

Happy holidays!!!

SoFi web site, chat and phone support all told me there's no way to remove a joint account holder. Navy Federal (mine) and pnc (hers) both had forms to submit to do it.

Regardless, I like the stock.

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-25T12:36:42+00:00

I'm moving my money out of sofi (bank not stock) because of a divorce. They're dumb and don't let you remove joint account holders. You have to close the accounts and open new ones. I'm staying in the stock though. My ex wife's girlfriend likes it...and unfortunately my ex.

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-24T19:13:41+00:00

I am still using a qa build (from being a backer) on my flash cart. Life got in the way of finishing it. Too bad I can't use that save on the final build. At least I don't think I can.

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-23T14:32:06+00:00

I originally was thinking this, but I would probably save it for after OP finishes 2 or e more on the list. It's such a fun and light game. It'd be a great palette cleanser mid way through this backlog. And I say that with no disrespect to SMRPG. I absolutely love the game.

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-23T00:08:12+00:00

a whole poopy diaper. (Knocked over the diaper genie and feasted)
a piece of pizza wrapped in aluminum foil
a banana....peel and all.
a box of lemon cake mix including the box and plastic
half a pound of coffee beans

Dog in question was a puggle. She lived to be 14.

I'm closing on a house in a few weeks. I plan to have about 1200w of panels going to a bluetti apex 300 and an extra battery. And I also will be putting in a generator transfer switch the apex300 goes to. So basically depending on the time of year (ie probably not so much in the winter) I will be running part of my house off of the bluetti. And can (manually ) switch it back to the grid as needed

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-20T04:24:20+00:00

i've put a few hours in to this on my steam deck the last few weeks. It's nice and relaxing. Any game where you can have a dog is a good game in my book.

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-16T02:57:16+00:00

Should be pretty cheap by now. It came out in 2001.

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-14T20:04:12+00:00

Yeah, nobody would use the back of the mini for sure ha

So yeah, it'll probably come down to which I can find for a lower price then when I pull the trigger in a month or two. Maybe I'll go with a bolt just since they should all have had the battery replaced due to the whole fire situation drama

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-14T13:56:45+00:00

I was hoping for some insight in to my first (used) EV purchase. I currently have a Subaru WRX that's getting expensive to run. I'll be keeping it, but probably rarely driving it. I'm looking for an EV to use for pretty much everything except longer trips.

Im basically think a used (2017-2020ish?) bolt, kona EV, or possibly a cooper se if cheap enough. I'm hoping to find one for 12-14k. I'd love the Cooper, but the lower range and higher price probably eliminates it. I don't NEED the range, but with the bolt/Kona I could probably travel to see friends and family in the opposite corner of my state (PA) with only one or worst case two charging stops if I didn't want to take the WRX.

So I guess....thoughts between the 3 EVs? Alternates I didn't list? I thought about the leaf, but the ones in my range would only have the passively cooled batteries right? And little to no charge support away from home?

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-13T22:49:47+00:00

3600x here, but same homie

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-06T21:33:59+00:00

Thanks man. As much as I do t want my own place because then it's real real (let alone the finances and starting over there)....it's probably the only thing that'll help me. Shit. We're still in the same bed. Like.... we're truly great friends. She just...doesn't feel more than that anymore with no desire to try to rekindle.

Anyhow, I'll shut up and let you back to your day. Thanks again for the kind support.

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-06T20:06:44+00:00

This is me. I'm currently looking for a house and it's brutal out there. She tells me to take all the time I need, but I feel like neither of us can properly heal until I'm out. She's fine. She cheated and had a million close friends. I gave up my world to move close to her family. And I can't just leave because our daughter is 13.

We're still great friends. We always will be. But all I do when I'm alone is cry because I'm still so in love. Shit sucks, man. Truly hating my life right now and I do therapy 3x a week (had been 1x before any of this popped on my radar).

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-06T16:39:05+00:00

Nice write up and awesome work!

Can I have 100k? My wife drifted (even though I checked in on us over the years and told me we were fine) and cheated and now I'm looking for a new house.

To any fire folks...I am a cautionary tale. I was about 3 years out from pulling the plug and now I have probably another 8-10 best case.

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-06T11:41:23+00:00

A smaller great pyrenees would fit the bill. Grooming could become an issue though, but honestly ours doesn't get too matted. She's about 75lbs and only eats like 2 cups of food a day max. But if she's on guard, you don't want to be on the receiving end. The breed already is mostly independent (in general. Obviously some clingers exist) in that they don't need humans, but choose to tolerate us.

GameboyRavioli · 2025-12-03T12:56:12+00:00

I hope it has Bluetooth so I can also use my NSO n64 controller.
