I got the rg351v a little while ago after agonising over it versus the 351m. I prefer the horizontal controller layout of the m but ended up going with the v for screen quality and ratio. From what I remember in the review videos it has a ratio closer to old TV's and so the active screen area ends up being larger too.

This is exactly where I'm at right now. Do you find the 351v comfortable to use? The bigger screen appeals to me but comfort is more important for my old man hands.

Ordered myself a neat-looking pencilcase for my tabletop RPG cards and pencils and such. For when that becomes a thing again. Saw a FB add and it was obviously just a tagged version of something generic.

Also somewhat recently upgraded the switches and replaced the feet on my Logitech G602. drat nice switches, not too different from the crappy Omrons in terms of actuation force, but a little snappier.

I have rubbish old man hands. I got the m on friday and now have tendonitis in my right hand. I'd instantly exchange it for a v for the ergonomics if it weren't a hassle. Never had problems with the og gb, gba sp or my thrustmaster controller because they have something to grab on to and don't weigh as much.

I thought the m would be more pocketable, but it isn't really. The second stick doesn't do anything in most games. Ymmv, but I don't see any upside to the m over the v at this point.

I bought the original Japanese version, a Delde, for my son's school art supplies some years back. It's a nifty little thing, really handy for keeping all your supplies at hand. Good for plain old storage, too, of course.

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

I bought a version of that pencil case that looks like a cup of boba tea :3: But some of my pens are heavy and I don't balance it well so he tips over all the time, plus when it's in folded-mode you can't see the boba pearls. It's just a weird little cup with a smiley face. Still cute, though.

I have yet to find aliexpress sticky notes that don't curl up off the page when I use them, I've been thinking about switching to non-sticky notes + washi tape when I want to make a note of something while still being #aesthetic.

My wife needs a new fitness bracelet. Any recommendations for something not too terrible?

She doesn't need anything too fancy, mainly:

1) counts footsteps
2) has an alarm function
3) displays time of day

Probably something similar to this.

Comfort is OK. Not my cup of tea though. My hands feel too close together after so much PS4 controllering. If comfort is more of a concern I would go for the 351m.

An estimate of the number of calories you've burned over the past day/period of exercise etc. They're almost always so inaccurate that they're not worth using, and that's when you set up HR zones and are doing proper cardio workouts. I'd imagine that a wrist strap divining calories burned from just general daily activity and not workouts, without doing something like a FTP or max HR test to calibrate zones properly would be as accurate as a random number generator.

Even consumer level sports software is "take the numbers with a pinch of salt" accurate. I train with a HR chest strap and have zones set up etc. and Strava and Garmins software can disagree by 25% using the same data just because they use a different method to calculate calorie consumption.

I bought the cute baphomet posted earlier but then got an email about a week ago saying the order would be cancelled if I didn’t make the payment. I just thought I dodged a bullet and got out of buying a doll I really don’t need. Nope, today it shows up in the mail. Maybe they were trying to get me to pay twice? I have no idea but the lil guy is cute so whatever.

Is it safe/wise to purchase an Android TV stick off Ali? This Xiaomi Mi stick gets good reviews and the price is right for my purposes, but I know the U.S. is avoiding Xiaomi and Huawei as a matter of national security policy. The other thing that kind of made me :raise: is the promise in the description to begin recommending shows you might like based on what you've been watching. I'm too far gone with Google (and all the streaming services) to care if they do the same, but not everyone needs to know my business.

I have most of my streaming needs covered via my PS3, but since the console is so old, there are a few services that just aren't available (or their PS3 apps are broken and not worth fixing).
