Just got a TI-85 calculator (8th grade pre-Calc flashbacks let’s goooo) I ordered off of eBay. Seems like a crazy purchase given this day and age of iPhones or interpreter windows but I’m finding out more and more I enjoy having bits of “unitasker,” non-internet connected bullshit in my life.
That and DrugWars.

This is awesome!
I rocked a TI-85 in high school, and even went so far as to code a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style game in TI-BASIC.
In January 1998, I wrote a story for the student newspaper surveying the landscape of TI-82, 83, and 85 games. 📰
