    The "solution" that I'm aware of is to have an external battery pack and stick it in a pocket/fanny pack.

    I think Sifu does something similar? (I never played it just remember hearing about it in games press back when it was new)

    I don't play 40k.

    That being said, the decision to give up any equipment that is essential to making a hobby work can be a hard decision. It doesn't surprise me that you're having trouble doing it even though you haven't enjoyed it in a long time. It is only going to be harder when you've invested time painting them, since it feels like you're throwing away that time and effort as well.

    I've been in a similar position with respect to skiing. It took several years and an embarrassing number of trips before I was ready to acknowledge that it wasn't a thing I was up to anymore (and that I was unwilling to put the effort into getting my body to the point where it might be up for it again). Definitely a different situation, but the sunk cost vibe feels like a similar thing.

    It sounds to me like you're looking for someone to give you final permission to do the thing that you've already decided that you need to do and so let me be the first to say that you should do it. It isn't a thing that you're enjoying anymore and that's ok. Moving on is allowed.

    Quasi-Spoiler from Episode 1's Layover podcast It is less clear than it ought to be in the episode, but on the podcast Tom makes a point of saying that he was fine for the rest of the trip and has made a full recovery. The only change that ends up being made is that no one runs for the rest of the season.

    It's draw 5 keep 1 three times. So, you'd end up with three good cards (probably), not 15.

    Since the plural of Attorney General is Attorneys General and the abbreviations thereof are AG and AGs. It follows that MILF should be MILFs.

    I Just want to be Single is a very silly premise for a game. It seems like it was overly ambitious and the kickstarter money has run out.
