I don't necessarily mean adult as in NSFW.

I'd probably bring in my RG280V. It was my first handheld emulator. I had emulated games on my phone in the past and even used a Bluetooth controller but playing on it felt different. More real in a way.

I grew up with the Game Boy so the idea of having thousands of games on the go is pretty neat to me.

I've since moved on to the RG405M.


What about you? Do you have anything neat or special to you that you could talk about for a couple minutes?

Would love to see photos as well

I have a jar of tar sand from the BP oil spill

What's the story behind how you got that?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I went out there as medical support when the event horizon caught fire. Spent some time in the skimming fleet, and found a better role supporting beach cleanup. My brother asked for a jar, so one night I gathered several from one of the tar sand piles.

It was quite an experience, BP was throwing money at the problem and the Cajuns were sucking that teat as hard as they could. The shrimp boats stopped running, not because of the spill, but because the recovery paid double and was easy money.

Let's not give BP any credit there. I'm pretty sure they didn't pay any taxes while they were doing that cleanup.

Wild story thanks for sharing!
