Is this gamegear saveable?

A while back I acquired a tote full of my cousin's old stuff and one of them was a game gear. Thing is this thing went through some BAD corrosion. Recently I've decided to finally sit down and see how fixable this thing is. Surprisingly much of the circuitry seems unaffected, but obviously where the batteries are held is the worst.

I've fixed electronics in the past due to corrosion and honestly I'm surprised none of its circuitry is melted as I've seen before (probably because none of the connections are ribbon cables). Is it salvageable, or is it a goner? As you can probably see I've done some cleaning of the corrosion, but if it's a lost cause I'm going to retire/recycle this old man.

More weird comedy conspiracy thrillers?

I just finished "Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die" and I'm noticing a trend of satirical conspiracy thrillers I've become a fan of and I want to see more. They are never super publicized with this one being closest as it's been on the front page of Hulu and I've seen physical copies at Walmart, but it makes me wonder what others are out there that I missed.

The others I've seen are:

* They Cloned Tyrone

* Sorry To Bother You

I don't count shows like The Chair Company in the specific kind of comedy thriller I'm looking for as unlike the other three it doesn't really have a message or a huge plot calling out society in some way, eventually it just abandons the plot to become a satire on the genre itself. (Not a bad thing, just wasnt my thing)

How worried should I be about this? 2016 prius

A while ago someone lightly rear-ended me and bowed in the bumper. As a side effect the cap for the tow-hook access can't stay on and I was wondering if I should be worried about water or it being affected by the elements in general.

Are there li-po battery of this size with decent lifespan?

A long time ago, I was given this cheap drone as a gift. I thought it was nifty and had fun, but it didn't take long before the battery lost its ability to hold much. Before I toss it, I was wondering if there are any similar batteries with better integrity that I could replace it with. The soldering spots look simple enough so I'm not too concerned about my inability to replace it, I'm just unsure if there are even li-po batteries of this size/weight that can do better.

Suggestions on different controller customizing sites

I want to go crazy on upgrading the marathon controller. I already ordered the lime green back plate, but I feel there is more I could do with it. Are there ways to get custom ps5 controller buttons with the symbols? I want the circle and square buttons to resemble triages eyes. For other customizations, it would be wild if there were sites that etched custom designs onto plates similar to how the symbols on the marathon controller are done.

I feel like Hutch in Nobody is a better Bobayaga then John Wick

I love both series and I get why John Wick was titled Bobayaga. The dude was feared by all in the crime world. But in terms of combat style, Hutch's fighting is way more terrifying with the slapstick feel given in the series. John Wick's is clinical while Hutch just feels diabolical imo.

Does the Quest 1 allow you to setup the device through hand motion after factory reset?

I am giving someone my old quest 1 for free, but the controllers don't work anymore. For now they are able to navigate with motion controls which allows them to set it up for PC VR. If I were to factory reset the headset to remove all my data, will they be able to set it up with motion controls or will they need the controllers?

Although very intriguing, the big lore reveal at the end of Welcome To Derry confused me. It's cool that IT can see through time, but how do they ever lose? The reveal proves past IT can act on the events they suffer in the future, so you'd think their victory is envitable because at some point past IT will fix their mistakes.

I guess the only caveat that makes sense is based on how it's described, maybe IT can't see past timelines, only how the current timeline plays out, so maybe they keep repeating the same mistakes. Or in the infinite streams of IT constantly meddling with their life to get a good outcome, the instance in the movies is the first iteration. I just hope it isn't something like "no matter how many times IT meddles with the timeline, they can't change the events of the story because that not how physics works" like so many time travel stories have.
