Things you recently bought or got

[Shadow#1]

I recently purchased the Nyxi wizard controller for the Nintendo switch and the case to go with it.

they're comically large and trying to use the GameCube layout for most modern games is more than a bit clunky but I fell in love with it. I play a lot of Splatoon 3 and was worried about the gyro capabilities but it pleasantly surprised me and is now my main controller.

Same length as a Steam Deck now?

Hah not far off for sure, I did actually wonder if the case is an adapted Steamdeck case.

I should also note there's a slightly concerning creaking noise from the right controller rail the HALL Effect sensor sticks may last forever but I don't think the rails will...

4 things well 3 i need to escalate with one item with ebay due to a fake tracking #
1) platinum picoboot gc with a gc2sd adapter

You can get a universal tv table top stand. I bought one for my 50" when i got it cause I also hate those tiny legs on it. My sister also wanted one for her new TV when she got it.

I got this one and I haven't had any problems with it and it feels like decent quality.

Surprised it's so pricey for a TV stand. I thought it'd cost like $20, even from AliExpress it ain't cheap.

Brand new Logitech G603 mouse for around 50$ Canadian in a surplus store. A pretty good deal considering that they usually go for around 90$ before taxes and around 103,47 with taxes

Smoking coffee sounds like an interesting concept. Lol.

As someone who took “The Anarchists Cookbook” seriously instead of the satire it is and smoked both catnip and banana peels…

Don’t. That’s all I’m gonna say. Don’t.

Got these cheap, but looks are deceiving - the speakers are in need of big restoration. Still fraid of what's going to be the final bill

Arnt those like $4000 speakers?
Are they blown out or is it just cosmetic

Probably more like 1500-2000ish euros in good nick at the moment, but these have been pricey from the store originally.

Probably at least one tweeter, possibly both need to be refurbished, voice coil assembly/assemblies is pretty badly shot. Midranges and basses are visually ok, no tears and such, but some parts attaching midranges to chassis are missing as are the bottom spikes. Both midrange rubber gaskets between element and chassis have to be renewed. We'll see what gives once I've tested the passive components, and seen the quota for refurb parts from manufacturer. Have to proceed slowly and carefully with these.

Would have been massive waste (IMNSHO) for rareish speakers to have the elements and passives ending up in electronics recycling and chassises as energy wood tbh.

AEW All In tickets.

End of August, so hopefully decent, but not too hot weather by then.

Took about 12 hours to burn all of those, but it's all done now. Got a few more digital only albums I own that I want to slap on some more discs, but so far so good.

The MZ-E730 definitely beats my phone in terms of sound quality right out of the headphone jack, but I'm pretty confident it's otherwise tied with my FiiO BTR5 that I use for listening to music on my phone.

A bit of a different one for you folks but I have a bike saddle coming tomorrow! Been getting into the habit of having a daily ride with Zwift while I play a game of Mario Party. Been a good time so far, but my old saddle is destroying me.

Hoping this one is a bit better. Really I think I just needed something a bit wider since I’ve been sat upright.

I recognise that Micron logo, looks like an OEM RPi?

Probably yes, ordered this from RaspberryPi.dk
