Strider
The only animal in the US with a pocket and they shove the coins down its throat? Oof.
Back when I had to swap out a mixer valve I had the worst time trying to get everything off until someone suggested soaking it all with some vinegar in a spray bottle. Everything came apart much easier after a few minutes!
The only thing I can think of that would be easier would be swapping to an e-reader/app with a built in dictionary function. I use Moon+ Reader myself, but I don’t blame you if you want to stick to physical books.
Okay wait, how are Cyberpunk and Stardew both disappointments? If you’d mentioned Starfield I’d believe you but both those games are critically acclaimed and for good reason.
For my part, I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky and I just restarted Tears of the Kingdom. I might dig into my retro library and start up Golden Sun though, it’s been a while and I’m due for a replay.
Yeah I miss the feel of real paper in my hands but I have hundreds of books in this little black box and I like to reread most of them so it’s handy. Sometimes I’ll dust off my Kindle if I’m planning on reading for more than a few hours: the matte screen is a lot easier on the eyes.
That is a fun fact! I try to minimize the number of apps I have installed for that very reason, and the only things I have on my home screen are Moon+ Reader and my email, dialer, and texting apps.
