My brother just died today. [March 5th, 2020]

My brother just died today in a fatal car accident on his way to work. It's suspected that he had a seizure, and floored the gas pedal. He ended up taking out a power pole with just his Acura Integra. My family is suffering this great loss very unexpectedly. He left behind a wife, and a 13 year old daughter. Him and his wife just got married last July, and she's already a widow in less than a year. Absolutely tragic. I went out to see them all today after the devastating phone call from our mother. Andrew didn't even get to see his 35th birthday. He loved working on cars, playing guitar, building arcade cabinets, playing with his dog and daughter, tinkering with computers, and even enjoyed flying in my stepdad's small plane. Andrew is my only sibling, and so our little world just got a whole lot smaller. Rest in peace, little brother.

I couldn't even imagine losing any of my brothers like that. Words and good will can't do much in a situation like this, but you and your family have every little bit of my condolences.

Keep staying strong out there

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
