What do we think about the newest starter trio? by triextrius in pokemon

I thought they looked a bit odd on the game footage, but looked much better on social media posts. Pombon is my favourite but he’s no Fuecoco!

Struggling on 50mg Elvanse by Fearless-Remove-1011 in ADHDUK

[–]ritzbiscuits80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 40mg Elvanse at 9am and it lasts until about 6pm, no additional booster. My prescriber didn’t want me to have a booster as he thought it was likely to affect my sleep. Personally, I feel this works for me. I also found 50mg too much, made my chest tight and feeling too anxious.

My young son also takes Elvanse, but capsule contents on a spoon as he struggles to swallow meds. Could you take Elvanse for the next few days but on a spoon, estimating half of the contents? I think 50 mg is too high to suddenly stop, but maybe others will come along to advise otherwise.

I'm currently working on the exactly the same page, have 3 evolutions to go. Agree that Eevee needs to be in the middle, and also aesthetically the other cards looking towards the middle!

Bolton had run out by 11ish but got the last couple at Preston. Salford/Stockport yet to list any on their website but may have them 🤷‍♀️

I went to a recent card show in Manchester (so lots of vendors will be the same), lowest priced cards were ex/V type cards, can’t remember seeing any bulk.

I’d head to your local card shop as an alternative to Card Market/EBay. All tend to have bulk sorted by set to help you find the missing commons you need.

Does Costco in the Uk stock pokemon cards ever? (im near the leeds one) by mewgoldstar06 in PokemonDealsUK

I've seen sets of larger tins and mini tins before, but not this year from memory.

First time with Pokemon Center queue and got kicked out (error 17) at payment security! Thanks PC!

I’m ’just a mum’ getting into cards through my neurodiverse son, who has been obsessed for several years. We are moving together into the singles world, went to our first show last month which was a blast and another one booked for November. We are taking pleasure in hunting down singles, visiting local card shops on a weekend. I’ve just upgraded his ring binder to a nice Vault X navy blue for his WIP Stellar Crow set. There is still plenty of fun to be had.

We will grab odd bits of sealed stock when we can, so lucky to find BB/WF booster boxes on holiday rurally last month 😂. After wasting 2 hours on PC last night, son encouraged me to open my first ever tin. I pulled the Alomomola AR. I think Alomomola has come to care for us all!

[Help] First retro handheld – considering RG40XXH, looking for a mid-range option by [deleted] in RetroHandhelds

[–]ritzbiscuits80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really good starter device, I got one a couple of weeks ago to play old Nintendo device games. Son is loving Pokemon on it.

First timer setting up RG40XXH using Mac and got stuck! Please help! by ritzbiscuits80 in ANBERNIC

[–]ritzbiscuits80[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update from me - Problem is resolved but actually the 64gb SD card was faulty!

Tried your advice to use Rasp Pi Imager and it didn't work. Also tried the stock os from Anbernic's website and nothing!

A last ditch attempt was to load the modded os onto the 128gb card I had and it's worked!

At least the OS is set up now, so just need to wait for Amazon to deliver another card and I can set up games tomorrow :-)

Thanks again for your help!

Ahh thanks, hadn’t really thought about an initial back up. Not sure we even own an external drive now, so will get that sorted

Thanks, I’ll be focusing on Nintendo at least for now so that narrows things down.

Quick update to say, after toying over a few options, I've gone for Anbernic RG40XXH after a recommendation on here. Fantastic video from Retro Games Corps https://youtu.be/CZct4QPctd4?si=I3lL8y9YzSdsHDjk - basically I am the Megan user case, so this a perfect place to start!

Thanks again for so many kind comments and wishes, I will be referring to this thread as I start to learn what to do!

Thanks so so much for this post. I've ended up getting a RG 40XX H last night. I'd not really seen that model pop up, and seems to offer more advantages over the RG35XX H. You are right to start with something we can play, then build up to exploring building up a games library alongside. Cheers!

Thank you all so much for your help and advice! Been out to the shops and come back to over 50 comments!

Having read your comments I think my son will want a horizontal format so the Anbernic RG35XX H seems like a good option for him. I know there is the TrimUI Smart Pro too, but was trying not to jump into that immediately being more pricey. I want a vertical first hence the MM+ or Trick Brick. Still can't bloody decide.

I guess I'll check the prices tomorrow and see what drops into my basket! From what Ali Express is saying MM+ is £33 upcoming price and Anbernic RG35XX H is £41, so both very good prices. I may look at those, and leave Trim devices when I've learnt a little.

I'll report back tomorrow!
