That’s going to be the difference in taste buds. Normal Guinness is okay to me, but I prefer a richer stout. The NA Guinness tastes like metal to me.

Athletic Brewing makes some pretty good NA beers. I particularly like their stout, but they have two IPAs that are tasty too.

Fun fact, Anbernic makes one with joy pads.

I adore my RG SP. I got it in the GameCube Indigo, for that little extra hit of nostalgia. I tinkered for a bit trying to get dolphin to run before giving up and realizing my steam Deck handles that better anyway. My recent obsession has been Emerald Rogue and Pokemon Unbound, two romhacks that have managed to reawaken that childlike sense of wonder I’ve yearned for recently with gaming. There’s just something magical about playing Gameboy Advance games on an SP, original or not.

Not to jump on you, but we have steel straws for a paralyzed relative. They can’t drink without assistance unless they have a conveniently placed container with a straw; even then, something like a soda can is impossible for them to drink out of without a straw.

But yes, paper straws are garbage and plastic straws are generally unnecessary.
