I wish my stomach wasnโt such a jerk. Some potato leek soup would be great about now

it's oodie season
Does anyone know what these are called?
My Opa caught a black rat with the trap he uses for Indian Mynas ๐
cute!
I gave it some grape stalks lol. Of course it is a pest so he's gonna gas it with the car exhaust tomorrow. Sad but necessary. I told him to wear gloves and whatnot, zoonotic diseases and all that. I hate how cute it is though. I quadruple checked it wasn't a bush rat - the tail length gives it away.
that tail ๐ฌ
Yup! Long black rat tail - their tails are longer than the length of their body.
Bush rats have rather short tails, you can see in these pics how short it is compared to the body of the bush rat
native Bush Rats
Different species too, but same genus: Rattus fuscipes. Native to Australia.
The black rat, Rattus rattus is, obviously, introduced/a pest species. Same with the Norway rat Rattus norvegicus
aw, the aussie rat is such a cutie
I'm having a bit of a hunt around the house for stray micro SD cards. I got one of those Anbernic Gameboy SP style handhelds and I heard the SD cards they ship with aren't great.
No luck finding one so far, which is to be expected, but I've ordered one anyway. No analogue sticks on this thing so it will just be retro 2D games.
The ROMs it shipped with have been decent and in English. Only one hasn't worked but I'll swap it out anyway.
I also have the RG35XX-SP, I have come to prefer the custom firmware MuOS which has an image for each Anbernic RGXX handheld. They have decent themes.
Scrappy is a great MuOS app that gets all the box-art images, all you need is a free ScreenScraper account user/password.
Depending on the size of your TF (microSD), there are rom sets on archive.org, like Tiny Best Set Go! & Done Set, I just downloaded the RetroAcheivements set from Archive which has a 128gb & 256gb option. RetroAcheivements is a cross-platform account you can get pop-up acheivements for most retro games when Wi-Fi is on.
The Anbernic devices normally come with the Kioxia TF cards which aren't as brittle as the no name ones, however the roms that Anbernic are sending pre-installed seem to have the biggest Nintendo games ommited. I just got my 4th Anbernic delivered yesterday. MuOS handles dual TF cards well, it's common to have TF1 for just the OS & TF2 for the games/saves.
I predominantly play RomHacks, Super MarioMon (GBA) by Alphard just came out the other day. Pokemon Unbound is great too.
so tired, love you all vm, sleep well, good night ๐
