All I was thinking about watching this video is “I wish they’d open a MicroCenter in Phoenix”; I’d had a blast visiting the Tustin location after seeing TMBG in LA this May.

I then googled it for fun and found out they announced they’re opening one a month ago! I checked national news to see if I was in some jolly alternate timeline (unfortunately, no) or dreaming, and it appears not.

Not sure where you feel like this timeline could be a dream because you're getting a micro center with everything else that's happening.

Good for you.

I wasn’t intending to convey this timeline could be a dream; I was moreso saying I thought my mind had made up this Microcenter to distract me from this dreadful reality.

I could have worded my initial post better.

You keep finding happiness in the small things bro, that person is just being jackass

I was making a (dark) humor joke about the state of everything else going on - really not trying to dig on small joys or your excitement about MicroCenter in any way.

I enjoy MicroCenter and have benefitted from being a few hours from several.

Props to that young lad. I wonder if his parents were geeks.
