You got me curious since it’s been ages since I uninstalled Reddit and it’s actually crazy how much more invested I am in Lemmy comments. Feels like all the Linux communities are actually helpful and full of real world experience, not to mention the flashlight community. Definitely a good reminder to set up a recurring donation to the smaller instance I use
First one I remember was a beige tower and similarly beige CRT my dad brought home from his office since he bought a new tower. It ran Windows XP, but barely. Spent a lot of time on homestarrunner.com, addicting games.com, and other flash game sites since I had no money for actual games and I already beat all the games on my Gameboy.
Oh golden sun was such a gem. My parents bought it used for cheap and I had such low expectations - spent so many hours playing through the storyline as a kid it has to be the best playtime/$ investment in my lifetime so far.
Definitely going to go hunt down Golden Sun 2 now
Hanklight D4K for $50 was my first portable enthusiast flashlight. I’m currently 4 hanklights deep and they’re loads of fun out in the country for spotting wildlife and general use with the open source Anduril 2 firmware (yes, flashlights can get firmware updates).
This is really cool! How much did it cost you to get the board fully assembled? And how’s the layout? As ergonomic as you hoped?
