Yeah, but that's like... almost a 100 years ago. Completely different. SlashEs

Full-disclosure... I found it online and am about to re-watch it. Loved it as a kid, but does it hold-up? 23 minutes will tell

Edit: It... oddly holds up for me lol. Just as weird as I remembered, but kinda sweet (I truly thought when they sang "Honoli" they were saying "Harmony". It's been a long time)

Idk how obscure, but "Puff the Magic Dragon" was definitely a weird one for me. Kinda glad it got lost (probably thrown out, who knows). Almost feels like a fever dream, so much so, that I had to double check the movie even existed

With a little practice, you can do it yourself!

Hey, my fiancé cheated on me too, and we were together for 4 years. Samesies! I ended it because of the cheating, as it was the final straw of breaking my trust. Greatest bullet I ever dodged. It was awful, but damn it felt good later.

I highly suggest listening to everyone here, even if it sounds painful

It's time to move on. You'll be ok. Almost everyone has been in a dying relationship at some point, and it really fucking sucks. It really fucking hurts. But it gets better, and can actually be a huge relief to pain that you didn't realize you were holding; as well as open new opportunities up that you never would have had before. Talk to a therapist if you can; that can also bring a lot of peace.

I was cheated on during my last 4 year relationship, but it was for the better. And we were engaged! So it hurt pretty bad. It gave me the (much needed) introspection that it was time to end it. We lived together, our lives were very integrated, and I didn't care. I was already hurting, might as well get it over with and focus on myself. It was terrible, and also one of the best decisions of my life. I'm now 8 years with a woman who is my world, and I'm hers. Would've never happened had I stayed

Rip that bandaid off. Show yourself the same respect you would expect from a partner, and walk away. You'll be better for it and the sun will indeed still rise the next day

My current relationship is over 8 years, still not married. We probably would have by now, if we could. But life is weird and it would destroy us financially at this point. One day though.

But regardless, we were intimate from practically the beginning. Trust is a foundation we have built, and not being married never affected that. Even when having to travel for work, trust isn't an issue. Communication is one of the most important things in a relationship, imo

The softmod is pretty easy, especially if you have one of the exploitable games lying around (I had Splinter Cell). The flash drive-to-controller port converter-cable and a compatible flash drive (listed on that website) is all you need.

Just write down your EEPROM number after you softmod, for the love of god, even before trying to zero it or back-it up. That was when mine froze, restarted and the disk drive failed, giving me an "error code 7"... which not many people knew could be due to a dead disk drive, because it can be due to several things. A TSOP flash (if you have a version earlier than 1.6) allows you to run without a disk drive, and an unlocked HDD. It makes it pretty much brick-proof

I had no soldering skills when I tried it, so I was very intimidated too. But a $15 RadioShack soldering iron got the job done... the TSOP flash technically only has to work once. I even "lifted the pad" on my second xbox, but there are alternate points you can use a jumper wire on, if you fuck up the first attempt. .

For a $30 xbox at a thrift store, it might be worth your time to try. I say this from the other end of doing it, but it was also my first mod, first soldering job, and I was terrified I would fuck it up. Turned out, the soldering was the least of my problems after my disk drive failed lol

But either way, good luck! It was one of my favorite projects and is still in use as a balling emulator. The thing has a lot of potential once you get into it!

What sucks is when they quickly drive away after you pull-in. You'll always kinda wonder

I have an umbrella with a Bluetooth speaker. It even allows phone calls while using it. No idea why it's a thing, but I found it could be fun to use as a rave-toy thing. Just gotta add some LED lights and choreography!
