  • I’d probably go back to bed because I’m clearly still dreaming. If that doesn’t work then I’d probably just take my guns and archery stuff and barricade myself in my large windowless shop that only has one door, is sound proof, and made of steel and get some sleep in there.

    If I wake up and the zombies are still real then at least I can probably drill some peep holes in the walls and fashion something that resembles a sword or a halberd or something. Maybe something like a riot shield? I do have a fairly decent airgun and that’s pretty quiet and allegedly strong enough to hunt deer with so I might be set without having to actually build weapons.

    I have plenty of animal traps and water filters and I live quite close to a forest with running water going through it so I won’t be getting hungry or thirsty anytime soon.





  • I think I actually have MegaMan X on mine. So what people do is they’ll make a .CIA file (basically the equivalent of a rom) with the emulator built in.

    IDK if this is allowed here, please if it’s not let me know and I’ll edit it out… But let’s say you’ve installed your CFW on your 3DS. A step of that will be to install the file manager FBI.

    You’ll want to open FBI and go to the bottom option (it’s install or download or something I don’t have mine with me right now). Choose remote install, and from QR code.

    Now on your phone or PC or whatever you can go to hshop.erista.me for example, here’s their MegaMan X page and you’ll scan that QR code. Couple seconds to minutes later (about 30-45 for the 1+gb giant 3ds games), you’re playing your game!

    Now I absolutely hate recommending reddit for really anything… but their r/3dsqrcodes is a great resource for rom hacks. Almost all the bigger Pokemon ROM hacks are on there, I’ve got Super Mario that’s been turned into The Call of Cthulhu…



  • Most SD cards come with an adapter I thought. You can just get a cheap one with an adapter if you really like your current one.

    Trust me, my 3DS has CFW and I soldered in a USB-C port for charging (surprisingly easy. I wouldn’t do it as your first solder job but it really takes minimal skill). I freaking love the thing. With a 64gb sd card you can fill it up with enough games you’ll never play them all. There’s a file management app (FBI) that will let you download and install games from QR codes too. It’s sooo kickass.













  • My tiny flashlight will light up my whole yard and then some like it’s day. I do admit that’s a little bit excessive but it’s great for when I hear something out there at night. I don’t exactly live in the best neighborhood… Makes clearing the property a hell of a lot easier and when that things pointed right at you, you can’t see shit.

    Even on the lower settings though it’s far better and faster than using your phone. Also I guess it’s a little bit more specific to my needs because I am a machinist, it’s a lot easier for me to just pull out a flashlight than to strain my eyes trying to see something.


  • A tiny keychain tape measure. It’s one of those things you have no idea how much you’ll use until you have one on you all the time.

    Looking at something online? How big exactly is it? It says 16.5" but can you picture that in your head somewhat accurately? It’s just easier to pull out your tape measure and see.

    I’ve also started carrying around a small flashlight everywhere I go. I have an Imalent LD70 Mini. It’s small enough to fit in my change pocket and it’ll put out a blinding ~4000 lumens on turbo (for about a minute before it gets too hot). I do admit that it’s not the best flashlight ever. It has a ridiculous magnetic proprietary charger that will short on whatever if you leave it plugged in but it does what I need it to do.
