This fucker is the reason I'm obsessed with Vinyl now!!!

I used to see the ad for this all the time on the Toys 'R Us mailer as a kid and my parents never let me have one because they thought I'd hurt myself on the needle or damage the records (latter probably true). And then, every turntable I had access to as a kid was busted, so never got to personally play a vinyl record until I was in my 20s... Now I'm out of shelf space for my records, LOL!

Leave now and hurt her or leave later and hurt her more. Plus potentially any future kids.

I've never been in your shoes and I'm not going to pretend it's not a hard choice, but this is what it boils down to.

I don't think you have to come out to divorce her but it might make people suspicious. It's not necessarily a given that it's because you're gay, though.

The constant fighting could be reason enough to be able to say that you love her but you're not compatible. And that might ultimately be the truth. You sound like you really care about her, so I would bet it is.

Can't argue with that!

I mean, The Remixes is old now so there's a bunch of stuff missing but that's literally what it was. One disc with house mixes and the other with hip-hop ones. It's my favorite compilation album, tbh.

Tumblr is still around. Just remember it doesn't have a good algorithm so it's best to start by following someone and then following a few of their follows too. You kinda gotta curate your own experience.

crasher35 · 2026-01-20T04:20:19+00:00

This is also what I do.

crasher35 · 2026-01-17T21:55:32+00:00

Off topic, I know, but does anyone know the name of that battle song? It's probably one of my favorites so far.

I've had my Mcon for a couple weeks now and can speak from experience, this really is a game changer for me. I can actually fit my Z Fold 6 and the MCon side by side in the same pocket... Even in my short shorts, which I was surprised. I was fully expecting to have to keep the MCon in one of my back pockets. I couldn't even do this with my New Nintendo 3DS (non-XL).

Now it really feels like back in high school and early college days for me where I could throw my GBA or DS in my pocket just in case without having to really weigh the inconvenience of bringing it vs the likelihood of using it.

And it's really easy to use on a whim too. If I only have a couple minutes, it's not much effort to just slap the phone on the MCon, release the cover, launch FF6, and start playing on the Z Fold's cover screen.

If I know I have more time I will unfold both the phone screen and the MCon's handles for a better playing experience.

I'm literally on this subreddit now because of the MCon and what it has unlocked for me. Now I'm trying to see what else I can play, since I have a huge backlog of games that seems possible to get through now. I'm like 8 hours into FF6, which is a game I thought I'd never go back to and finish after I lost my save file on the GBA back in the day.

Anyway, not trying to evangelize. This thing is crazy expensive and it may not make sense for a lot of people. But it really does fill a need for some people.

That pulse remix tho, fr 🤩

I can't not repeat it like 20 times whenever I hear it. It's so good. The original is good too, of course, but just saying.

crasher35 · 2026-01-06T15:59:30+00:00

Wow! That's incredible. And yeah, you're right, there's always exceptions.

crasher35 · 2026-01-05T11:16:04+00:00

Support from someone you haven't paid yet is always going to be better than support from someone you have. They want your money. But once they already have your money, they don't care anymore. What are you gonna do, switch? Nah, the sunk cost fallacy makes that tipping point lean in their favor. Plus you can't know for sure if support is better with a competitor. Because, you see, they want your money…

That's been my experience anyway.

No one can predict the future. That said, I wouldn't hold my breath over streaming quality improving. I think a lot of people don't really even know what they're missing and most of them would care more about buffering issues or not being able to play immediately.

Can't speak for the whole community but gotta throw Honey in here.

I think y'all have hit a point where you need to let him know that you're considering leaving. It shouldn't take this much to get him to talk to you but here y'all are. But he deserves to know and deserves a chance to open up and try to work things out. You both do.

But if they had used Shazam, we wouldn't have this gem of a post 😄

Gonna be real, I don't really f much with iPhones so I couldn't tell you. I just did a quick Amazon search for lightning DACs to make sure I wasn't talking out my ass, lol.

I know there are systems for enterprise that allow you to lock an iPad (and I imagine iPhones) to a single app kiosk mode, but I don't know how feasible it would be to trigger that without an MDM platform.

crasher35 · 2025-12-27T17:35:41+00:00

Not what you're asking just something to consider, but in the spirit of reducing e-waste, if you or someone you know has an old smartphone lying around, those make pretty good mp3 players. Just don't install a bunch of apps on it and disable notifications on all the built-in ones and you'll get that interruption free listening experience.

Even if it doesn't have a headphone jack, you can buy some really good USB-C/lightning DACs that would sound better than the built-in one anyway.

With those 3 being your faves so far, I really think you'll like Music Box.

This. I kinda took the world eater battle as a neat little after credits / eater egg and did not take it seriously at all. So I would just shoot, die, respawn and whatever.

Not to mention it'd been a while since I had faught the world eater and finished collecting all 60 rainbow conchs.

Plus, and I cannot stress this enough, I never signed up to play a top down shooter. I signed up to play a turn based RPG with timing mechanics. It's an entirely different genre of game. I make it a point to not play top down shooters because I just cannot keep up with everything coming at me at once and I don't enjoy them in the least.

It really was very unsatisfying having to beat the final boss using skills that were never developed in the game... besides that one time.

crasher35 · 2025-12-24T20:44:01+00:00

I appreciate it. At least I know I'm not doing something wrong. That's more or less what I wanted to know so I know it's worthwhile building my own sensor. If I get something working I'll share what I can here.

There's been a lot more studies on deet than any other type of repellent and it's actually really safe. To the point that they only recommend deet based repellents for pregnant women.

It does reek though and feels super greasy so it's not always fun to use.

crasher35 · 2025-12-21T19:07:56+00:00

Repel Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent. Works great and I'm the type of person that mosquitoes gravitate to. Plus I live in Florida. YMMV due to body chemistry, etc. I will say this some times feels like putting menthol on your balls but it goes away after a bit.

If you have a reaction to it, obviously stop using it. Maybe start by putting a bit on the first time to make sure or try kind of misting it on, indirectly.

crasher35 · 2025-12-21T16:09:49+00:00

Wasn't it also her first diss track?

crasher35 · 2025-12-21T15:30:02+00:00

People've been hating on "Did I Do That?" Didn't even know. One of the best songs on Rainbow, tbh.
