The best and cheapest option for you would be to have whoever you’re staying with in the US set up an account with Mint Mobile. For $5 they will send a ready-to-go SIM to their address so it’ll be there waiting for you. They use T-Mobile’s network and you can sign up for month-to-month service, cancelled at any time with no hidden fees. Unlimited text, call and Internet for one month is something like $25. All total, with the SIM, you’re looking at $30 for your phone service while here. You won’t find any pre-paid, non-contract service cheaper. I’ve been using Mint for around 4 years now and they’re fantastic! Hope you have a great time and trip while you’re here in the States!

Brick worms… You see, #THIS# is why we can’t have nice things!

You know what might be even better? Add a robot with a screen projecting a digital Cave Johnson face. Similar to how he put Caroline into GLaDOS, it could fit the narrative with him being a robot now too and if he gets destroyed, another robot could drop in and power up. It would make for an awesome “climb the tower”/“fight as many enemies in a row as you can” sort of fight. They’d just need to record loads of his dialog for constant quips.

I wasn’t thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!
