did an overnight bus trip to a 24h lan thing this weekend. packed my pen in a little insulated lunchbox with a freezer pack, shoved it next to my controller, and spent way less time worrying than i expected.
at the venue i did my usual soda-swap thing: cherry fizzy water instead of the 2 a.m. mountain dew. weirdly the fizzy water hit better between rounds.
the lunchbox stayed cool the whole ride and i only opened it once to check. small win, but last year a trip like this would've had me spiraling about timing and temperature.
anyone else have a low-key travel setup that just works?
