I've got a lot of mileage out of Pocket City 2.

Watch it every year. Something of a tradition for me now!

Those boys look like they've been through it! Great job!

Right front. I only carry a small card wallet so both go in together fine. Keys and other scratchy stuff in the left.

I love your comment about happiness not being a contest. I have always bought in to the idea that happiness is a choice, you decide what's important to you and if you're getting those things then be happy! Don't worry about everyone else comparing themselves to each other endlessly, that is the road to madness πŸ™‚

I've got my own XMPP server running on a raspberry pi so that I can have a safe chat app with my kids. I didn't want to expose them to the wider world at their age, but it's great to have a chat / video calling app that's all routed through my private kit. So now when they're ignoring my messages I know that they 100% safe online 🀣

Side by side pic here. I was quite surprised at just how small this thing is, and if the Miyoo is even smaller, I'm glad I opted for this!

The screen is indeed very nice.

Hundreds, if not thousands, across all kinds of retro consoles! Atari all the way through Gameboys, NES up to PS1. The default OS seems ok, but I only tried it briefly before switching over to GarlicOS which everyone seemed to be keen on. This guide was super helpful in getting me started.

Just got this bad boy yesterday and I'm like a kid at Christmas! πŸ˜„ The delight I felt firing up my old love, Desert Strike... Goosebumps! Seriously impressed with this bit of kit, and I'm enjoying exploring the options as much as the many many games! The effort put in by the community with GarlicOS and the ROM packs is simply magnificent.

I'm a RIF widower... I'm finding Liftoff to be a great mobile app. It doesn't seem to get much love but it's stable, easy to use and actively developed. I'm feeling right at home with it πŸ™‚
