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

Any propagation tips? I've tried a few times and they just go so slowly!

I mainly just pluck a petal off a healthy one and put it on top of moist dirt

I am gladly going to share my most guarded secret regarding succulents, obligatory "I-am-not-in-the-usa" disclaimer. I live in a place near the tropics but with very cold winters.no snow though.

Neglect is your friend. I forget to water mine all the time, if I find gnats or whatever on one just spray it lightly with rubbing alcohol or pinesol, etc.

Specifically for propagating: Cut your petals/leaves clean off of the mother plant. I use my hands but you can use a pair of very clean scissors, then put them in an empty terracota pod no moisture and leave them be until they can "heal" the "wound", sort of like scarring (spelling?) Then when you start seeing tiny little roots THEN place them on moist soil and proceed to ignore so they start doing their thing. My soil mix is 70 or 80% mineral material and the rest regular dirt. Hope this helps
