DrBouvenstein posted:Still makes more sense than Yamaha. When you say Yamaha I think sound equipment because I have a sound board of theirs sitting on my desk, and I don't often ride dirtbikes. What people most associate with Yamaha kind of depends on the person you're talking to. The second thing I'd think of are boat engines. Mitsubishi and Fuji are like that too, they make a lot of very different things.

Japanese companies in particular are kind of weird like that - like how Konami, makers of the popular Metal Gear series of video games, made 104 billion yen selling video games and 77 billion yen operating health clubs last year. They tend to be quicker to diversify into completely unrelated industries and dip into a little bit of everything if they can. I just got this in the mail to give to my brother for Christmas. He's trying to build a 64 collection and we probably dropped over $100 renting this over and over when we were kids.

HaB posted:So I've had this dream guitar forever - a Gretsch Silver Falcon. Notable for two things: one - of Gretsch's top of the line instruments, maybe 3 of them have silver hardware. I'm a gold hardware hater from WAY back. Brass is tolerable, but it's not silver. And two - in the 7-8 years I have been coveting this guitar, I have never seen it in stock anywhere. Even out of the big online music retailers (Musician's Friends, Zzounds and Guitar Center), I think only MF even stocks it. It's difficult to find, is what I'm saying. One of the guys in one of my favorite (not huge) bands is sponsored by Gretsch. He's loving amazing. Awesome guitar that you got there.

Also, doesn't Sega have an enormous Pachinko division?

This week my Kwanzaa gift was a donation to some political transparency group and a pamphlet on Mitch McConnell's donations. Weird choice to keep for the international buyers. I also got some pills with an extract from this fruit which apparently blocks your bitter and sour taste senses.

Hollow and semi hollow bodies are awesome. When I got my first one, I had to ask myself why more guitarists don't use them. They sound great and are more beautiful. A gag gift for my niece. She can appreciate some black humor:

Roccat Kone Pure gaming mouse as a Christmas present to myself I don't even game that hardcore, but the Easy Shift + it has or whatever it's called is making controlling Spotify and browsing the web so much easier. Plus, customisable LED's are like crack to me.

Got a pair of weightlifting shoes: Also grabbed some fractional weight plates (i.e. increments smaller than the plates you typically find in a gym, which usually run from 2.5 to 45 lbs) in a set of a pair each of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 lb plates. Also picked up some hilariously garish knee-high socks in blaze orange so I won't scrape my shins on the barbell and hunters won't mistake my freakishly hairy calves for swole gophers and shoot them.

I bought a ps4. It was going to happen eventually,and it happened today. Got as far as character customization, failed to save my details and decided to put it down in lieu of dinner. Then I'll sacrifice a goat with the hopes of bringing the psn back online.
