I was approached by a guy who recently moved to the area and needed help getting some things printed. I walked with him halfway to the library and we chatted about stuff. Hope to see him around town again

When its hot out and a lady lifts up long hair to cool off

Coincidentally, I slept great but I was feeling too good to work so I called in sick. That's a thing that makes me happy.

The most recent thing that's made me happy is the MST3K Forever-athon on YouTube/Twitch. I've been dealing with some stress in my personal and professional life, and having that to go back to whenever I need it is really nice.

Puttering around the neighborhood on my feet or bike; feeling the sun on my face. Doodling. Relaxing in a clean home/warm bath. Strawberries. Walked my fur baby the other day and saw a honeybee when I saw none, all summer last year, that made me happy.

I've been wanting to get into a new hobby but damn hobbies can be expensive. But it's giving me a sense of excitement I haven't had in a while and it breaks up the monotony of the working grind.

The one I'm trying to get into is homemade FPV drones. Building from scratch, just like building a PC. Sourcing the frame, motor, electronics. Soldering and configuring. Flight testing and tinkering. More fun I think than just buying an off-the-shelf DJI Mavic.

The parts themselves don't cost all that much but it adds up fast.

A large bowl of a very spicy Miso Ramen and a cold can of Red Bull® 473ml always makes my day

This album makes me happy: Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons

But also my big bushel of protobeans

There are about 15 of them and they're always happy to see you! Except the shork bean, who is always happy to chew on you.

Oh this does make me happy!

Korean fried chicken always makes my day better

I have been collecting game consoles for nearly a decade, and the collection is beginning to round off. I have nearly every Atari, Sega, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox console released in North America. It has taken a long time, and a lot of deal finding, but it is a rewarding task/hobby.

Thank you for your time.

You need a 3dO!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That is so great! I only have a PS1 and PS4 currently.

Do you play them?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately time isn’t something I have much of, but when I do I try my best to sit down and play something. I usually tend to lean towards my NES or Super Nintendo, but I just recently got an Atari Jaguar and a copy of Doom. So that’s been the latest time waster : )

Have any good ones for your PS1? I always loved Crash Bandicoot 3, childhood classic for me!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I have one of my favorite games on it: Final Fantasy IX

I'd like to get the original Resident Evil, but the PS1 version is super expensive now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Final Fantasy IX always intrigued me, I love the look of the game to bits but idk whether I could get through it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Trust me when I say; The video game market went up during Covid, and now it just denies to go back down. I’ve bought a couple consoles from Japan just because they’re cheaper, and some of them are region free.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I used to have a N64, GameCube, PS2, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, and Wii, but I gave them away. I never thought they'd go up in price so drastically.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m fairly sure all of those except the PS2 and Wii are region free (without modding). If you ever go to wanting them back, grab one on eBay from Japan. Significantly cheaper, and you can play the same games!

Thanks for the tip!

I’m going to go for a nice nature hike this weekend. It’s going to be cold outside but just the right kind of cold where my fingers don’t get numb, and my face gets and stays chilly the whole time. Will be good. High chance of seeing a squirrel or squirrel like creature. I’ve got this perfect windbreaker that works great. I will probably start with silicon earbuds and music in but eventually take them off to really get some nature sounds in my life.

I will just have iced coffee in the morning, water during the day, and then just absolutely demolish some Mexican food on rare cheat meal after the hike.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

That sounds so great. I can't wait until spring so I can do this too.

Fire walk scenes in movies. You know its a dude in a suit, acting his heart out for a few brief moments of glory on screen, while on fire! Bonus if they’re falling off a building or something epic

Guru energy drink is your friend. Acting like you are working is your profession for the day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I'm drinking Fanta Zero, but maybe I should switch to something with caffeine
