This may seem kinda ironic to be posting about, but when I say offline, I don’t mean strictly physical (like print books), so much as stuff that still works even when internet’s disrupted or whatever.

This may be a tell of my age in some respects, but I still enjoy downloading music, games, ebooks, or (more rarely) movies that simply work without phoning home or updating super often. There’s a weird sort of relief that I have both physical & digital fallbacks for when there’s a “storm in the clouds” so to speak.

One piece of media I’ve been meaning to look into to help in this space are maps. Maps are tricky given that they’re living documents, but I’d love to get a good downloadable/print map for reference.

Btw little protip if you’re on Android, check out Aard2 and downloadable dictionaries. They’re remarkably small, and it’s so much better than the ad-littered dictionary sites/apps, and even supports multiple languages.

    I have this cool little portable usb DVD drive that I can hook up to my laptop(or my phone, which is amusing). It is kind of an odd setup but it’s the only way I’ve figured out how to watch them. I guess it’s alright since I just watch everything on the laptop anyways
