Get a dedicated GPS for your car, use the radio and try to find good local stations, and you'll be fine. I'd definitely recommend getting a phone with a slide-out keyboard for ease of use, but you could also just get a normal numpad one and keep your texts brief. I used to use a shitty nokia with only a numpad and never really had any problems typing that I can recall, but it was my first phone so maybe I had no perspective for comparison lol. Also you can definitely get a flip-phone with a web browser

i've seriously been considering using my phone more like a tablet and getting a flip phone. i already moved my music onto an mp3 player last summer and i feel like since everyone ELSE has phones i could get by sans direct use of google maps...

Really considering going to a blackberry or a foreign flip phone that has app capabilities here and there!!
If anyone has an experience with going thru with it, what do y'all think and would u recommend it to others to buy a phone as their daily phone :)

For people who can’t commit to a flip phone. bonus points if you get an app that blocks all your other apps for a given period of time

The USPS store allows you to purchase shipping labels for free. 750 per order in fact. They're pretty big, have plenty of empty space and stick to things. You could draw, print, etc. on them and then cut out your creation. For free. No credit card or anything. 750 shipping labels shipped to you for nothing at all. Click the link and have fun.

🎮
First of all, this will mostly only work for offline games. Second of all, if you try to find online versions of this, you will most likely be downloading a virus. Do not download from online-fix, it's a virus.
Also if you can afford to, just buy the game. Obviously. But capitalism sucks and many can't afford commodities in addition to their living expenses. For those people, you shouldn't be deprived of an infinite wealth of fun, so here you go:
Go to the website linked in my post. This place is lit. Find the game you want to download and then proceed with the instructions:
TORRENT ROUTE (VPN STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)
Now if you have terrible internet, torrenting may be your best option because it downloads from multiple places at once. Beware that your Internet can see if you torrent, and as such, you should use a VPN if you go this route to avoid fines or ISP shutoffs. If you want to torrent, download QBitTorrent here: https://www.qbittorrent.org/download. I recommend qbit because it's free, open source, and hasn't done me wrong so far. Now on fitgirl, find where it says "Download mirrors (torrent)" and then "1337x". Beside this there will be a button that reads "magnet" press it and it will automatically redirect to your torrenting app. Once it loads the metadata, you can select which files you want to download and then begin. Once downloaded, read torrenting info below, and then proceed to the installation step in this guide.
Torrenting info:
When torrenting, you're either downloading from the source, or, after it's finished, seeding the file you already downloaded so other people can use you as you did them. If you have upload bandwidth to spare, this is a nice thing to do, otherwise, right click the file in queue and press stop to end seeding.
NORMAL DOWNLOAD ROUTE (VPN LESS NECESSARY)
This method is less involved, but oftentimes slower than torrenting, depending on the download provider. The upside, is that your ISP can't see what you're doing as much, in which case you don't really need a VPN, though I'd of course still recommend it if you have it, just to be safe. Find where it says "Download Mirrors (Direct Links)" and then use your own judgement to pick a link. The ones toward the top are usually better.
Sometimes games will be so big they're split into multiple parts. In this case, you need to download all parts, and follow the instructions on fitgirl. This will typically be to download WinRAR and extract all the files at once.
Once downloaded, proceed to the installation step below.
INSTALLATION
Every game is a little different, but typically the fitgirl site has instructions on how to install what you just downloaded. The universal rundown though, is to download the DirectX version provided in the folders, along with any other drivers provided, and then execute the installation file. Once this installation completes, you should have the game and be able to play it 'til your heart's content.
If you have any problems, comment and lmk, I'll try to get to them asap :)
Hopefully this helps.
