Pretty frustrated and could use some insight. For context sake, I am new to both anbernic and garlicOS. I like both a lot but here's the thing... the autosave is getting me into trouble!!!

Any time that I play pokemon and I am going up against a gym, I typically save right beforehand so that if things get shaky, I can turn off the game and restart. Imagine my HORROR when things got shaky, I went to restart... and it put me RIGHT BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF LOSING!!!! no! NO!!! NO!!!!!!! How do I turn this off so that the only saves that "count" are the ones that I do manually? I am so frustrated at having to have a rematch. Anyone that plays pokemon knows that a rematch is MUCH WORSE. What do I do? :(

In October of last year, I moved from Baltimore to upstate NY, away from my family and friends. I love it here and feel that I made the right decision! My job gives me 3 vacations a year, and one vacation that's pretty much always set in stone is a trip home for XMAS, which I took during this past December. The traveling part was not fun for me but I did it because XMAS is a big deal to my mom, and before I left it was just her and I, so I sucked it up and went home like a good daughter. Fast forward to February when we planned a trip to the beach in June. At the time, I felt up to it. Today, a day before the trip, I suddenly and intensely did *not* feel up to it. There are a few components in particular that really tripped me up: not only would I have to endure the 6 hour train ride home with an hour layover, then the next day its 3.5 hours in the car to get to the beach.... where I never actually get in the water, but do enjoy, you guessed it, being around the house and sitting on the porch. Then a 3.5 hour car ride back to Baltimore, where I wouldn't get to recover because my mom is having friends of the family come stay on the backend of the beach trip, so i'd be expected to then entertain before packing up AGAIN for the 6 hour train ride back to new york the next day.

Needless to say, having thought through all of this, I nearly had a meltdown. Not so much because I didn't want to go but because I knew my mom would be SO disappointed. And she is very disappointed. I think if the family friends weren't coming to stay on the backend, I probably could have forced myself to go, but unfortunately for them, there was just too much energy expected of me in all of this and not enough reward. I like the beach but not to the same degree as my mom. It just doesn't carry the same reward for me, not enough to warrant all of the travel, the lights, the uncomfortable seating in the car AND train, having to find my way, figuring out if safe food is available(I don't eat dairy or grains, can you say screwed?)..... the thought process made my brain short circuit. I prefer being close to home, and like it or not, New York IS now my home. All of my creature comforts are here, all of my safe foods, all of my new friends, my couch when I need to decompress etc.

I may try for a trip later this year when there will be no other expectations except for the trip, no one I need to visit with. But still the physical travel itself is so unnerving to me. Is anyone else here travel averse??
