This guy is just old enough to have seen the change of the millennium. I've had him since I was 5 years old.

I believe the character is W from Arknights.

My age. It's not uncommon for people to assume I'm a lot younger than I actually am. At least once a year I get a comment where someone mistakes me for a high school senior. I'm almost 32. It probably doesn't help that I'm only 5 feet tall.

~~I swear this isn't a humble brag.~~

GBwiki recommends DigiKey for OEM quality batteries.

By the way, if you find that one of your 3DS cartridges has become corrupted there's still a chance to save it. There's a homebrew application that can check for corruption and potentially fix the cartridge.

If you haven't already installed custom firmware on your 3DS yet, then make sure you follow this guide and no other. Never follow a video guide as they are often outdated and may contain unsafe methods of hacking the system.

I use KDE. I like that it doesn't fight my choices and actively supports customization. GNOME is too opinionated for me. They have a specific vision on what the desktop should be and that vision just doesn't jive with me.

The Pokémon games have a lot of these. One in particular is that in Generations 3 and 4 they added a mechanic to prevent the player from stranding themself by releasing the last Pokémon they have with certain HM moves.

For example, say your obnoxious younger sibling is mad at you. They "borrow" your game, use Fly to go to the obligatory island town, release all your Pokémon except for the weakest one, sell all your item, and waste the money by repeatedly buying and selling items until you don't have enough to buy anything useful. In Generations 1 and 2 your only real way to get out of this scenario is to trade your remaining Pokémon with one from another cartridge that has either the move Surf or Fly. In Generations 3 and 4 the last Pokémon that knows an essential HM move will refuse to be released. Generations 5 and 6 don't have this feature because there aren't any islands. From 7 onwards the HM system was replaced entirely.

These days CRTs do still have the niche of being better for retro gaming. Modern televisions process the image and that adds frames of visual lag between when a button is pressed and when the action is displayed. Since many games require precise inputs this can make a significant difference in how well a game plays. There are ways to compensate for this with scalers (RetroTINK, OSSC, Morph 4K), but they aren't cheap (like $400+) There's also the fact that many newer televisions just don't have compatible inputs for older consoles and cheap converters or adapters often add even more lag.

I just checked on my Sansa Clip+ and it does have a search function that works the way you want.

Also is your Hiby player specifically the original R3 or one of the later models? If it's an R3 Pro II there's a custom firmware available and the search there also works the way you want it to.

The side effects were bad enough that I stopped taking it. I had to get a lower prescription and work my way back up.

You had noticeable side effects from Adderall, so the doctor is (probably) being cautious with the Vyvanse dosage to let you get used to it before upping it.

Many years ago there was a period (a couple months) where I couldn't get my Vyvanse prescription filled. I had been gradually upped to a pretty high dose at the time (like 60 or 70 mg). When I was finally able to resume taking it I had major side effects since I was coming in from nothing. For days I had a migraine and the felt like I was walking on jelly.
