The 5' 3" Skeleton would probably prefer the 51 Demi as it was a smaller pen, the dove grey is always a nice colour choice.

A decent Emerson Rose dress, since I don't have any dresses in blue.



And this coat by BCBGeneration, it's supposedly "packable" since it's down and very lightweight, so I figure it'll make it easier for me when I'm travelling.

I bought a PK-383 Knife so I can open boxes and stuff because I left my special gerber knife at home when I moved.



Also a philips #00 Screwdriver so I can open up my N3DS and replace parts, especially the faceplates because I just ordered some recent ones!





I also ordered a shark plush and some shark stickers because I really like sharks! :3:

We're talking about beds, mattresses, shelves, sheet rock, boxes, toys, entire garbage cans of recycling, garbage bags, etc. I'm not sure why because we live in residential part of Berkeley and it's really easy to get extra pickups.

The sign already got stolen (as expected).

We have no idea; we live in a residential area with mostly single family homes and families. There's a dumpster and two perfectly good dark alley's a block away to illegally dump stuff, but our tiny strip of rock and grass is too enticing I guess. We don't live anywhere near UC Berkeley.

Bought in on the AKG 7XX headphones. I am very excited.

However the rate of my expanding headphone purchasing budget means in 37 years my headphone purchases will eclipse the United States GDP.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a problem spending money on headphones. I just bought some Sennheiser HD 598 C's because they were on sale. I just bought V-modas two months ago what's wrong with me?

How are the VModas? I've been considering a pair of their wireless for my next (headphone jack-less) iPhone.

I started going down the dark and endless road that you guys are on but caught myself and just bought a couple pairs of Sony MDR-7506 instead.

In a shockingly similar vein,



I didn't get a new controller since Steam natively supports the DS4 now and even puts an Xinput wrapper on them for games that only support Xinput. It works...reasonably well, I suppose. The first day I had it I played a bit of FF13 and Ikaruga and didn't notice any lag or dropped frames (maybe not the best games to test it, granted). The next day I tried to play another game and my actual PC crashed, but it seemed to be doing okay until then (pcgaming.txt). For $20 I'd say it's worth it, but I have no intention of playing anything that's super twitchy on it anyway.

For serious? I'll have to hook mine back up again, update it, and give it a go.

EDIT: I guess it has for over a year now. I had a PS3 when I bought mine last year and DS3 won't work wirelessly with Steam Link, so I assumed DS4 wouldn't as well.

I think it just came out of Beta last week or so. You'll need to hook something up to go to Bluetooth settings and set up the DS4 initially, but after that, powering up the DS4 will turn on the Link and all that jazz. I almost got a Steam Controller with it until I found this stuff out.

The sound quality on the M-100's is breathtaking. They are heavy compared to other cans I've had before but so worth it.

I bought this neato device for tuning drums.



The idea is that you can measure the fundamental resonant frequency of the drum, measure again at any given lug to see what that pitch is and establish what you want the tuned note to be relative to the fundamental, then measure as you tune to get the same the resonant frequency at each lug on each head.

I've been waiting for that to come out of Beta for a while and set one controller up when it did, and just got around to trying some local co-op games with two of them last night. Ran into problems in several games unfortunately, but I'm glad we at least have the option now. One thing is each controller's assignment. Some games they would show up as player 3 and 4, then others player 1 and 2 controls would both be separate halves of the keyboard, and when we rebound stuff manually the player 3 ds4 would registered as p2 button whatever and the player 4 ds4 would be p1. Is there any way to just tell Steam hey, this is player 1 so make every joypad-enabled game think this is player 1? I didn't see anything like that in the controller configuration where you set the LED color and such.

Honestly I don't know, I haven't tried anything with multiple controllers. There is a Steam Hardware thread so I would try asking there.

This game is seen mostly as a way for people to learn how to play guitar, but supposedly it also has things to offer for people who have been playing guitar for years. Going to use it to learn the songs in the game, play it for the game factor and go for high scores, and mess with the backing band thingie.

The media remote is cool as it has motion detecting and the buttons light up without having to press any buttons. I was tired of having to reconnect my xbox controller from sleep mode, just to skip a youtube ad or pause. Plus the controllers trigger buttons kept accidentally fast forwarding or rewinding videos. The media remote has a nice smooth rubberized texture.

I realized android wasn't going to cut it for a laptop (pixel c + keyboard) so I returned it and got last year's HP Spectre while it was still $400 off. Only my second laptop ever, first one was five years old. They sure have come a long way - and a touch screen works surprisingly well with windows.

The Pixel C was great but it's just a larger phone and I use my TV + chromecast if I want a big screen. Very happy with this laptop, with the one exception of not getting my bluetooth mouse to work, but it's also got the only trackpad I've ever felt comfortable using.
