Not a childhood game, but the Japan-only SNES strategy RPG Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War is a great handheld emulator game! There’s English patches for it.

Some random games from the mid 90s and earlier that I enjoyed when I was younger:

PS1: Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 9, Lego Racing

SNES: Final Fantasy 4, Super Mario World

GBA (not of this era, but they’ll probably run on your Anbernic): Fire Emblem (any of the GBA games, but Blazing Blade aka just Fire Emblem is a great starting point), Metroid Fusion

GBC: Link’s Awakening DX

Edit: GB: Donkey Kong 94

Game Boy Advance is probably one of the best handhelds. I totally agree on the PS1 - not quite sure if the Xbox 360 hits that threshold for me, though.

I was going to say: “Sierra Leone: more progressive than most US states”

Work (when at work - for not work stuff on my phone 😈) and agree with the rest

Is that an I/O shield for a motherboard?

I’d love for there to just be more short games with branching narratives like WotS. Short games that are built to be replayed really spark something off in my brain lol.

I’m surprised with auto battler games having a moment that we haven’t gotten any Ogre Battle inspired indies - just Unicorn Overlord. Still haven’t played it, but it’s on my to-do list.

A shit candy bar, some random tube socks, and off-brand hair growth meds

Some kind of random stuff from the drug store or discount store. Just a “I put minimal expense and effort into getting this.”

I think “selling ice to Eskimos” is the American equivalent. Naturally, the version of this phrase: 1) involves an exonym that’s a bit offensive 2) kinda makes doing a pointless exercise sound like a good thing.

Congrats on the baby, and I wish you both get some sleep in the near future!

I honestly preferred using a baby monitor that didn’t have too many techy features. The one I’ve had the longest was from Infant Optics - just their baseline model worked fine. No wifi or phone connections. It’s just a basic video/audio monitor.

It’s basically just beer-flavored soda. It has less than the required alcohol content (<0.5%) to be legally classified as an alcoholic beverage. Is it not regulated by the FDA?

I have no idea, but kombucha also has a tiny amount of alcohol in it and has a nutritional facts label in it.

I’m curious what music Kevin Parker will be making in 20 years or so (assuming he still continues).

I could see The Less I Know the Better having some staying power.

I think I’ll die if I hear a weird music kid from my child’s generation talking about Death Grips in 10 years or so.

Probably part of it is the voiceover director, and part of it is the budget. If you’re working really cheaply, you won’t have many opportunities to redo lines to get things to sound more natural.

Seconding the therapy suggestion.
