    It's a Bluetooth gamepad that has the option to pass itself off as a keyboard. If either of those options work with your setup, it should be fine. I don't know enough about MyOldBoy in particular,...

    It's a Bluetooth gamepad that has the option to pass itself off as a keyboard. If either of those options work with your setup, it should be fine. I don't know enough about MyOldBoy in particular, but GameSir has made a lot of mobile controllers and previewers had Delta and Classic Boy working with the device.

    Ayaneo is supposed to be making a spiritual successor phone to the Xperia called the Pocket Play. It's in preproduction right now, and they're hitting delays and are a little on the outs with their community right now over redistributors being prioritized over their crowdfunding backers, but if that clears up, it could be something to keep an eye on.

    8bitdo is launching a USB C powered controller mid year that looks like it fits your specifications a little better.

    Tildes did a book club a few months ago on We are Legion, We are Bob, that's part of a whole Bobbiverse series. Bob gets a brain scan, gets uploaded some hundred years later into a space probe to find new worlds for humanity to live on, and replicates himself to better be able to widen the search. It's rather reference heavy and has a similar tone to Dungeon Crawler Carl, but with elements of Star Trek where smart people are solving problems when it works. It may not be for you though.

    Additionally, Project Hail Mary is a lot like in "guy solves a problem in space" with less of the pop culture filter. It's by Andy Weir who also wrote The Martian, and a film of Project Hail Mary is coming out soon, so it may be something to look into after you're done.

    Have you tried Vernor's yet? /s

    I usually go with Chicken Noodle Soup to cover electrolytes and fluids. I had some of the Airborne tablets when I was younger, and I thought they were pretty helpful in the moment, but that may or may not have been in my head. (It was a head cold though, so...)

    Spice mentioned earlier makes my nose run, so if the sinuses are all clogged up, some really spicy stuff will clear it out. Rode on a particularly bumpy road that worked once, would not recommend it driving since it was inner ear related, but worth a try?

    I was under the impression that Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964) was in the public domain due to the incorrect copyright notice, but after reading up, it appears that the song, the character and story beats are still under copyright due to prior work, so the novel bits of the film are free and clear, but the core elements are not, so that’s interesting.

    Now that Filoni is in charge, we can just start again from where Force Awakens left off and have Luke force grab his lightsaber from Rey, then he flies off, chucks Kylo Ren down a reactor, recruit his good twin sister, pull a spare Han out of a Jedi clone vat thing, and have him get the band back together to take on the Yuuzhan Vong, led into this galaxy by Luke's own slightly larger evil twin. Hell, throw in the X-Men, you can do that now!

    IMO, I'm of the opinion that it's fine and it's not really scratching my itch, but it's good for what it is, taking a bit of the Prodigy adventure show, with a mix of live action streaming Trek sensibilities that put me off. It's really impossible to talk about this show without the Paramount situation, and I fear that this is going to be a one and done under the new management as a source of sacrificial trash, if you're familiar with the video from Sarah Z. The show wears its morals on its sleeve, and that's enough to churn up some nasty Internet types whose views align enough with the new owners of Paramount folks for me to not really think this one is getting the full five seasons. Kind of a shame, since people familiar with the screeners feel that the show has something to say by the end of what they have been given, and I did enjoy it, but I don't think it's appointment viewing for me. It's popcorn, I'm not asking any more of it for now.

    This could also be in ~society if you choose to interpret it as a metaphor for gun control, but I think too many musical instruments have been acquired immediately after a breakup for us to not consider the possibility of a cool down period for such purchases.
