PrismXR Portable Charger 30W

There are better alternatives to this over-engineered battery.

Sometimes, I see a really pointless, inferior product and wonder "Maybe there's a reason tons of people buy this?" The answer is almost always that those people are ignorant of the better solution. This product, the PrismXR Carina W1 Portable Charger 30W, is nothing more than a fancy-looking battery strap you can wear multiple ways that comes with cable organization tools. It's not cheap at $40 sale price ($60 regular price), and I would not have bought this... but as a reviewer, I tend to get things for free, so... yeah, I got this for free, and I decided to review it here for others to be able to find information about not just this product but a better solution.

Taking a Break: 2024 U.S. Election Edition

I'm so disappointed in The United - yeah right - States of America, and I can't emphasize enough how sorry I am for the world to have to endure our country's worst leader another 4 years... 4 years after he already proved himself incompetent and even got himself nearly impeached by his own party (House Resolution 755) right before his first term was ending. I voted responsibly and always told others to do the same, and in the back of my mind, I always thought that was enough. Now, I'm regretting that stance in a big way. I'm finding myself looking back on past decisions and wishing I took a more proactive approach toward making sure everyone knows what to vote for if they want a better world for all. This feels like the worst timeline now. A timeline where Superman is evil is actually better than this, because at least Superman has superpowers so I can understand why people follow him: fear. The thing is, we might want to start fearing what Trump and his followers will do this term. It could be just more nonsense, but it could be a lot worse.

WTF Happened October 2024

Happy Halloween!

This is the sixth recap post, affectionately titled "WTF Happened." This is a monthly news post of sorts. I'll use these recaps to briefly cover cool, exciting and also not-so-good and downright terrible events which happened in and around the past month. I'll cover things like world news, movies, TV shows, tech, VR, personal projects (like this blog), cool game releases, and anything I find out during the month that I personally think is worth mentioning. I ask around on social media toward the end of each month for ideas, and I may or may not steal credit for the news I place here! I will cite references when it suits me! Moving on....
