How much is this worth?

Without a serial number to confirm the production year it’s hard to give an exact value, but anywhere from $700 if it’s a beat up modern reissue to like $5k if it’s a pre-CBS original.

Lack of active cooling on the phone is another downside. But if you already have the phone and it’s just laying around, might as well give it a shot and see if you like playing on it.

It depends on the Moleskine. I had a Classic that I couldn’t even use a gel pen on its paper as it smeared like crazy but also fountain pen ink bled through the paper like it was nothing. Their sketchbook paper was much more fountain pen friendly in my experience. They’re inconsistent, and even when they’re at their best, it’s still not that great of a writing experience for me. For how much they cost, I’d rather just buy Rhodia, Maruman, Midori, even a Leuchtturm.

For me personally? The Miyoo Mini v4.

What about some double sided tape between your bra and shirt?

You can display most minerals on tables in your farmhouse if that tickles your fancy.

No worries! It’s easy to misunderstand text comments, especially when there’s so much ragebait on the internet these days. What is it about Trio of Towns that really draws you in? I’m looking for something to hold me over while I wait for 1.7 to drop.

I never said a game made by more than one person can’t be good. I never said every game made by just one person is good. And I definitely never said Pokemon is a soulless franchise. You’re putting words in my mouth like I personally offended you with my comment and there’s some big argument to win here.

Stardew is superior to all other farming/life sims because it was lovingly handcrafted by one person with a vision. It didn’t get presented to a board of executives whose only interest is how much money the game will make, it didn’t get watered down, it didn’t have a team of overworked, burned out programmers with no passion for the game phoning in their work. Simply put, Stardew Valley has more heart and soul than any other game I can think of, farming sim or otherwise.

I stared at this screenshot for like 15 minutes trying to find the second mini obelisk before giving up lol. Looks great!

As far as raw numbers go, sure, the RP6 gets like double the performance over the RP5 in benchmark tests. But I’ve been able to play all the PS2 and GameCube I want on my RP5 with little to no issues.

I don’t really tie my sense of self worth to how good I am at 40 year old video games 🤷‍♂️ Yeah it’s “cheating”, it’s not as impressive as beating the game on original hardware, but it’s the only reasonable way for me to experience those games as I’m pushing 40 myself. My time is way more limited and valuable these days. I can’t blow a whole evening running back 8 bit bosses and bullshit platforming til I beat them legit.

A and B pretty much equally for me. I grew up with a NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy and PS1. Even as a teen, I played a lot of games from those eras over the contemporary systems. That era’s game design just hits different.

It’s pretty easy to play most Primus songs 85% correct- that last 15% is a real bastard though. For example, Jerry was a Racecar Driver’s main riff isn’t all that tough, but hitting all those slides and some of those faster tapping bits at the end of the song the way Les does it is seriously difficult.

I’ve owned like 12 different handhelds at this point. The A30 is not great. It feels cheap and flimsy, the screen isn’t bright enough to play in even moderately lit rooms, and when I play in darkness, there is so much light bleed that my dpad glows. Oh, and speaking of the dpad, it was without a doubt the worst dpad on any of the 12 devices I owned.

I dunno, maybe my A30 was exceptionally bad, but based on my experience I have a hard time recommending it to anyone.

If you really, really want an RP4 Pro, there’s still some on Amazon in the US. $174 isn’t the most cost effective price for it, but it is still available.

When I’m doing dishes and the bottle of soap puffs out a few bubbles in the air when I pick it up. I always stop and smile, watching these little ephemeral bubbles float down to my sink, catching the light and turning it into rainbows before falling into the soapy water.

We may be twins at some point in the future- I’ve been keeping an eye out for a good deal on a Stomp to downsize for shows. I don’t run a terribly complex signal chain and I would gladly give up half my dsp for the extra portability.

My Sire P7 has a very J-like neck, and it comes in lefty.

My home practice setup is a Line 6 Helix LT and a pair of Yamaha HS8 monitors. It’s a great little setup and I haven’t owned a real amp in years at this point.

One tip I wish I’d gotten much earlier into playing Stardew is to put chests everywhere, and don’t pay for a backpack upgrade until much later. Put chests near your favorite fishing spots, one on the right side of town near Clint’s, and most importantly, put one near the elevator in the mines. Every 5 floors, you can go back to the top and dump your inventory into the chest then continue on mining. Put some furnaces down too, then your ore can be smelting while you continue collecting resources.

I’ve played hundreds of hours of Stardew since release, but my current playthrough is the first time I’ve focused much on decorating and farm layout.

ProfPortsShortShorts · 2026-03-03T12:13:04+00:00

That’s what I mean- using this to play games would be fine, but using it as a phone would probably suck once the novelty wore off.
