A luxury biro.

Now if only I knew how to write.
Man that looks lush. I have a Waterman I tend to write with, though that's a fountain pen and not a biro. Gosh I love a good pen.

May as well contribute to the thread while I'm here. Picked up a new flavour of Yankee Candle today. Not as fruity as the ones I'd usually go for, but a more subtle scent is a pleasant change. Plus it was like £10 off so bonus.

Managed to snag a Dreamcast with 2 controllers for $25, and then I ordered a VMU for it for another $5. Not too bad a price these days.

Now all I need for my collection are the 3 Atari consoles, a NES, a Master System, and the two Genesis addon's and I'll own all the "major" consoles that I want. Dunno if I'll bother even trying to get any of the more minors consoles, like the Jaguar or TG16 or 3DO or Neo-Geo and such. While it'd be nice to have them all, I just can't justify the stupid high prices for them >.>

*checks his list of consoles which he owns*

Goddamn it tom now i need a Dreamcast too. :angry:

Two of these bad boys, for free: http://store.haworth.com/hs/seating/desk-chairs/improv-h-e-task

;O;

tl;dr, my dad bought 37 of these from an auction with the State of Michigan for $10, so I took two of them :lol: They were used for like a year and a half max, and are all in really good condition sans one or two. The State of Michigan only paid $300 per chair since they bought them in bulk and had a decent deal with a supplier, but still 37 of these things for $10 is insanely cheap. Told him to sell the rest off for like $150 each, make a nice $4-5k lol.

Also ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CRQVX1L/

Not a fancy smart watch, and not a fancy sports activity tracker, but pretty much what I was looking for, and was for an ok enough price.

Today I had a pretty good find.
Among my grandpa's junk we found this box.
He said he didn't need it, so I could have it.

Sadly there was no ammunition inside... Still a neat box.

I got one of those too
Also no ammo inside it, nice for display but I probably wouldn't put anything inside it

Jumped onto the VR wagon recently. This thing is amazing.

The stock face foam is just... let's say it should be much better given how much this HMD is worth.

Did a new PC Build.

i7 8700k
H100i V2 cooler
AX860 PSU
ASUS Prime Z370-A mobo
Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 32GB RAM
NZXT S340 Elite case
Samsung 970 EVO 250GB M.2 SSD

QU70Crn.jpg


Carried over 970 (which will be upgraded soon :]) from old build

Very happy with the build and the performance, and was the first time I went with a liquid cooler, and oh god how easy it was to install compared to a stock cooler *shudders* or any air cooler I've worked with - I'm even including the radiator in the comparison

Aaaand its done

    I just recently picked up a n64 from a garage sell, and looking to mod it and add a HDMI port to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3548173115...044&customid=4f3038da73b61afddf7e5e90f4153856
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Maybe start a kick starter page and sell them, yea right. Big N would prob C&D me, not anything Big N related, but just because that's what they do nowdays. Then come out with they own in a year or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nice. Which operating system are you installing?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, windows 10 and some linux distro like linux mint
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    dualbooth
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Speaking of which
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that
    +1
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I also recall my brother downloded a "non bloated" version of windows 11 on his pc

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    "Why debloat? Why not embrace and enjoy my bloat?" - Gates
    +2
  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
