Picked up a Flirc case for my new Raspberry Pi 3 (it is a giant heatsink as a case).

Picked up a bottle of smoked paprika for making pulled pork. (I couldn't find it locally, and the huge bottle was $18, couldn't pass it up.)

Got my phone in the mail on Sunday. It was a galaxy s7. Ordered a otter box defender case and a tempered glass screen protector for it on Amazon. And Amazon fucked up on my order. It was supposed to ship on Tuesday and i was supposed to get it on Wednesday but they fucked up and I'm supposed to get it today but they shipped it to late so I'm getting it tomorrow.

Also bought a pair of turtle beach Stealth 600. Also bought Final Fantasy 14 online complete and Ark survival evolved both for ps4 and everything was from Amazon.

Still haven't got any of my Amazon orders and there all supposed to be here today

My Turtle Beach stealth 600 PS4 game today but they were supposed to come yesterday so I got another month of prime free. My OtterBox case and my screen protector came for my Galaxy S7.

Going to a electronics hobby shop tomorrow to pick up some things to add some sound reactive LEDS to my game boy. Hopefully they have what I need.

Edit: did not go to the electronics hobby shop but I did but a Game Gear in great condition with the power pack and 2 games for $40 at my local retro/pawn shop.

Also Amazon screwed up on some of my orders this week, like my headphones and my phone case. Because they kept screwing up on a bunch of my orders, I have prime free until March 2018 and they gave me $10 credit for more screw ups they had, like 2 orders stuck on shipping now for 3 days(my ps4 games) plus they upgraded those orders to free 1 day shipping, So I'll get them Monday.

So so far they screwed up 4 orders this week.

Won an auction for this super futuristic Toshiba laptop!

What are the specs you ask? Let me blow you away with them.
Featuring a massive 12.1 TFT 800x600 active matrix screen, powered by an amazing ATI Rage LT Pro with 4MB of dedicated video memory for an amazing 16million colors!
The insanely fast AMD K6-2, running at an astounding 475mhz!
64MB of PC100 RAM!
4.3 Billion byte HDD!!!
A 24x CD ROM drive for high speed data transfers!
A 3.5" floppy disk drive for all your storage needs!
A V.90/56kflex modem, built right in for all your communication needs!
And the absolute cutting edge in OS technologies, Windows 98 Second Edition!

How much did I pay for this amazing beast of a PC you ask? Surely this must have cost at least $1999!

$15. I paid $15 for this.

:sad:

I saw it with no bids at all and ending in like an hour and I figured I'd do just that. Gotta find a charger for it and see if it actually works, and I imagine the HDD and battery might need to be replaced, but I wanna use it for old DOS games and such whenever I'm in the mood for retro things.

I might try and get one of those CF to IDE adapters to replace the HDD, and I'm hoping the CD-ROM drive is working as well or I might need to get a USB 3.5" reader and some blank floppies, but otherwise it should make for a nice dedicated DOS laptop

Gotten a desktop + scanner/printer + Videopac G7000 for free.

Desktop is nothing special, old C2D 2.3 GHz.
Scanner/printer is a Canon Pixma.
Videopac however came with a couple of games and is in generally good condition!

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
