Sunset Views: A desert safari usually includes the chance to witness the breathtaking sunset over the sand dunes, providing an excellent opportunity for photography.

you do not know how much i would pay for a semi modern loz rendition. like. hyper fantasy mixed with like, within the last 100 years modern at least. they’re close but i need like. grand cities that link can traverse. if it’s kid link even better. let him crawl into small places. discover magic in a land that’s lost it’s magic. give him a mix of the old pegasus boots but make them like rollerblades. bring the hook shot back. he finds old grottos in abandoned buildings and old mines.

it’d be so fun to mix hyper fantasy with like. suburban style stuff

Suddenly remembering this one restaurant that opened up locally (that also closed very shortly after) that exclusively had its menu available via QR code, but failed to take into account that it was in a city known for its extremely large elderly population 💀

My family went there once and didn't even eat there because my step dad didn't own a cell phone at the time and you could see the "what do you mean you don't own a cell phone" in the owner's eyes as we left.
