Aside from the games, vinyl and other things I got for Christmas, I treated myself to a couple of items just before New Year..

A battery backed RAM/ROM board for my BBC Master

And an RGBtoHDMI, mainly for the Master, but I’ll use it with a handful of other retro computers as well.

Bought on Amazon 4-star store yesterday while walking around the mall. Luckily my sister is a Prime member so yay discounts! Don't wanna use the controller bundled in Smash Bros. Ultimate too much.

Had to look that up. I didn't even know those existed. That's interesting. Out of curiosity, were you able to compare prices (or least the price of the item you purchased) between the store and buying online? I just wonder if they boost the charge slightly, since they're selling from a brick-and-mortar store.

I have that weird meme where I basically buy a game in almost every console even if I already own them (Like, I bought HL2 on all avaible platforms except Android just for jiggle). I do own OW on PC with multiple accounts and on Switch already, but this oen was such a good deal. Especially since it still has all the preorder codes intact.

I might have gotten covid. My brother in law tested positive. So my job gave me 5 rapid test kits. I just did 1. Waiting for the results right now.

Yay me.

Also fully Vax with 2 shots, 1 booster and immunocompromised. I have a rare genetic heart defect, that apparently less than 3% of people in the world have. Thankfully it's not linked to any known heart disease.


Yes the test shows negative.

    @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

    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.

    @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
    +1
  • 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
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
