You’re twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You’ll be leaving for Grandma’s in about a half hour, and she’s lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and there is no headphone jack. Google Play complains that the device isn’t certified or whatever, but that isn’t going to stop you from downloading apps from third party websites using the family computer. Plus, you have one great advantage: F-droid is installed and ready to rock.

You must hurry, because you wont have an internet connection once you hit the road. Quick, what apps do you install? You have 128GiB’s at your disposal.

      It’s amazing what your phone can run, even better if you have a Bluetooth controller.

      Awh, self esteem is important little man, don’t beat yourself up!

      All or nothing thinking, also known as “Black-and-White Thinking,” is a common cognitive distortion that manifests as an inability or unwillingness to see the shades of gray, or the more complex picture. In other words, you see things in terms of extremes – something is either fantastic or awful, you believe you are either perfect or a total failure.

    Silly premise, but you have found a use for Bluetooth headphones I guess.

    Anyway I probably install Librera FD for reading epubs, then go on AO3 for suitable materials.

    only half an hour

    no information on the internet connection quality

    Minetest I guess. Can’t trust that I can get Retroarch plus the cores and games I want on time, and it’s not worth the hassle for only 3 hrs drive.

    ReadEra and a bunch of pirated ebooks from libgen. Basically the top 10 of the 3 genres I like most.

    Bonus is that books are a few 100kb at most, so even with a poor internet speed I can download them in seconds, no problem.

    Guess someone’s gonna be countin’ telephone poles along the way!

    (Like I did when I forgot to bring a book or a travel game.)
