We're 10-12 hours away from family (10hrs is a pipe dream because that's only possible if we never stop). We end up splitting the drive over two days.

Sent it to my trans kid. They just responded with "TRUE". :D

Parent here. School decided that all of December would be dress up days this year instead of just the week before they got out for break. I went all "bah humbug" and my kiddos did not participate - except for the school colors day because they already had shirts in those colors.

My boomer dad: you probably won't get anything because I'm paying [i.e. using my retirement] to take care of my [100 year old] mother

Me: that's understandable

As a steam deck owner - I am definitely interested. I'm currently rocking a 90° adapter I got with an aftermarket charger.

I went ahead and backed it. I am slowly amassing everything I need for a complete shell swap (and other bits and bobs to mod my deck - last things needed are a bigger SSD and a SSD enclosure to clone the drive/use the original as external storage). If this gets funded, I'll just wait until I get it in May and just not have to worry about detaching the stock screen and reattaching it to the new shell. If this doesn't get funded I'll just order a replacement screen from ifixit.

First one:

About ten years ago my husband got a job and our health insurance changed providers (very common here). My second child needed a refill on his control inhaler for asthma. He'd been on the same one since he was initially diagnosed at 2 years old. Insurance denied covering that brand (which was older and therefore cheaper) until he tried expensive brand. Expensive brand was $80 out of pocket, and I am still livid that they fucked around with his health like that. The only way they'd consider covering the original one was if we tried expensive brand and it didn't work. For a six year old. With asthma. Thankfully, it did work but it still pisses me off.

Second one:

Shit happened and my kids and I ended up on state Medicaid for almost a year. My state privatized it and they declined to cover every. single. visit. and now, years later, I'm still fighting for them to retroactively cover visits so I'm not on the hook for thousands of dollars.

To grow the veggies bought with the food stamps. 😉

Seriously though, you can buy seeds and bulbs for growing food on food stamps. I can't remember if live plants are covered - it's been a few years since I've needed them.

I am in need of some help. I'm trying to find a good portable monitor for my steamdeck. I don't need it to be huge, 12inches minimum, but I'm not having much luck with my own research. I would like low latency, high refresh rate, and colors as close to the same as on the og LCD deck (which is what I have).

I have the official dock, so it would need to be able to connect through that as well.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I just started a reread and then found this community. I was wondering if we could get a timeline for when to have each book read by? I would love to participate and not comment on months old posts. 😬

Signed,

Yes, different instance account but same user. I link all my instance accounts on my profile page for transparency.

FINALLY after months of frustration I have figured it out - and it was with the help of my 8yo (8 year old [child]). 8yo is the 7yo from my first post. A birthday came and went while figuring this mess out.

I believe this was a fault of the Microsoft parental controls with Minecraft, and various Minecraft online spin-off games, and NOT Nintendo's.

8yo added 6yo as a Cross-platform friend using 6yo's Xbox gamertag on Minecraft on their tablet. Then we all went through the hand mom your switches so she can type this mess out for you and they added each other as friends. Problem solved?! Nope. Not quite yet. This was step one.

Step two was me going into the Xbox Family app on my phone, and changing the following settings:

  • Decide if [redacted] can add friends without your approval ✅ Allowed

  • Choose who [redacted] can communicate with on Xbox Live ✅ Everyone

Under Minecraft specifically

  • See and upload community creations: Decide whose community creations [redacted] can see. Blocking this may affect whether [redacted] can upload their own creations to games. ✅ Everyone

  • Clubs: This lets [redacted] create, join, and follow clubs for all allowed games, including Minecraft Realms. ✅ Allowed

I had already allowed the Minecraft multiplayer option before and that alone didn't work.

I also set up everyone as a favorite friend, and they can all play together across Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons, and Minecraft Legends on their switches.

I feel like this process was way too convoluted. There may be some options I turned on that don't need to be on, but I'm including what I did specifically on the off chance that there's another frustrated parent out there with multiple kids wanting to play local multiplayer on Minecraft on their switches while logged into their Microsoft account.
