I miss the concept of renting VHS and DVD's. There used to be a Blockbuster near our neighborhood when I was a kid. We would occasionally rent VHS tapes until eventually the DVD player became more prioritized. My family rented DVD's from the library, Safeway, and Hollywood Video.

I'm actually just about to purchase a record player and casette/CD player that can also export the media into digital format...
Honestly, it's a gift for someone else, but I cannot wait to listen to the quirks of the older media formats.
I remember reading this quote, let's see if I can find it:
.... Well, I couldn't find it. But it was something along the lines of "The flaws of a technology become its greatest feature, retroactively."
I can't wait for the scratchy records and having to rewind the casettes.
The skippy CDs will still drive Me crazy, I'm sure, but in a warm way.
If I may ask, which model are you getting?
I've been looking into getting a relatively cheap tape player/recorder for the odd thing e.g. archiving, retro computers, etc.

Hi
These weight gain powders are a good addition.
But they are usually many maltodextrin with some protein quite expensive.
The ideal combination for gaining weight would be a combination of fat and a fast carbohydrate.
So for a proper weight gain shake you need a fat source of some kind.
- heavy cream ist good, but also any kind of nut butter works as well.
To much fat will slow your digestion and make u feel full fast.
So don’t go over 60g of fat
—> 200ml of heavy cream
—> 100g of penutbutter
Than you need a fast carb source
Sugar, maltodextrin and fructose
Maltodextrin is far less sweet
So 60-90g of maltodextrin
(U can find it on Amazone and it is quite cheap 2kg come at 10-15€)
Plus some sugar
Than you need to make sure u like the texture. So add what u like milk is the miste common and works perfect.
Last past is the flavour:
There are flavour powders oder protein powders (make sure to use pure whey there should be no casein added because it fills u up more)
Fruits
Coffee
Caco
What ever u like just change it up and try some variations
With that combination each shake Hase around 1000kalories
Is easy to consume and u can add them in between meals.
Sorry for the late response, been travelling.
In the past I used to use Double Cream with Vanilla Ice Cream to make milkshakes, but due to the aforementioned changes basically anything frozen/quickly perishable is something I'd like to avoid.
I also want to be relatively discreet, being a bit of a glutton and vanilla milkshakes I could get away with, but having something obviously intended for body building will set off alarms.
So ideally I want something I can buy from a brick and mortar shop on my way home from work or maybe at best somewhere my family/person I live with doesn't use like Holland and Barrett or Morrisons and then hide in say in my bedroom drawer.
By the sounds of it though, things are either going to be complicated and/or expensive, such as this:

Mixed.
Personally price will be the biggest factor, I might be interested in one if it's 'painfully priced' like the Steam Deck.
If it's otherwise priced against consoles/PCs then I'll just stick with my existing PC/Laptop.
Marketing this towards potential PC converts might be a better idea, especially if it does have a higher price point.
Compatibility will likely become an issue, as I have experienced with my SD/Proton, even Windows has it's issues thanks to the lack of official multiboot support and non-mainstream drivers.

In the past I've used Double Cream as a way to try and help gain, especially where I work retail and my shifts are all over the place, however, due to some IRL changes I won't go into this has become less viable.
So now I'm wondering whether something like flavoured weight gain powder with water could be a viable alternative?
To be clear, I know NOTHING about these beyond some health conscious people I know who actually enjoy going to the gym use the stuff.
Thank you.

I work retail and there are some ways.
Maybe get an air fryer or a deep fat fryer if your oven takes a long time to cook food.
Maybe also see if there's any cheap fast food places near where you live or any cheap food you can find that requires little prep work e.g. spaghetti.
I usually end up just eating a chocolate bar for lunch which I buy from the supermarket next door because my breaks are relatively short.

The realistic options I can think of are:
1) Live with a 2 hour commute
2) Double check transport options, including rail cards, etc. if trains are practical
3) If quicker to commute, learn to drive
4) Find somewhere closer/easier to live
5) See if anyone is willing to car pool with you
6) Find a new job
7) If there are branches, maybe transfer within the company
How well paid is this job? If it's a basic temp job at 12 hours pw, now is the time to look for an Xmas temp job as I expect companies to start hiring from around now.

Ignoring the struggle to actually gain, mobility and the physical problems being too fat would cause e.g. clothes, chairs, etc. Are the biggest reason for me not to gain too much weight.
As someone with a current 'body goal' of getting a permanent belly hang, quite frankly the lower the weight the better.
I would only otherwise want to be 400+ lbs if I woke up in the 'weight gain episode' of a cartoon where everyone rapidly becomes morbidly obese 400+ lbs gluttons and then rapidly lose the weight thanks to the villain of the week getting defeated.

You're basically going to have to shop around for the best kcal/$.
Chances are this will mean avoiding take out food and looking at home cooked stuff.
For example, pasta, bread, baked beans, etc. can be relatively cheap, at least where I live.
Obviously make sure to balance the diet for other nutritional needs.

Had recently joined the forum as hadn't been able to find one for the kink until then. Finally found my temple of Gold and while looking at a particularly impressively large member of our community he stumbled past.
He then immediately enquired as to what it is but years of ultra religious parents with eyes like hawks meant the tabs were closed in miliseconds.
Deleted my account and immediately regretted it... hence the return
Munchies:
Why are you scrolling through kinky shit without doing it behind closed doors? That's growing up with religious parents 101.
Casual Gainer:
You need to go further, you also need to face away from the door, use private mode and maybe other things like a VPN, tor, etc. for extra protection.
Last thing you need is someone slamming the door open or other people wondering why they're seeing adverts for 'red hot fat single woman in your area'.
Munchies:
Alternatively - tell your roommate to mind their business. You are both grown. This is an option,
But for serious, out of courtesy, don't look at kinky shit in the common areas.
I was just going off of your comment.
OP says "roommate", so this may mean shared bedroom, in which case just hiding the screen may be their only practical option.....besides maybe hogging the bathroom, which would be worse courtesy wise.
