In their defense, if someone ran up and started spraying me with lighter fluid, I'd be pretty freaked out as well. Maybe not "Car rushing at me in a tiny room" freaked, but still freaked.
I guess a smoker might be equally freaked out if they asked you for a light that wound up ruining their cigarette.

Okay, it's recommendation time. Got a boy turning 8 this year and he already asked for a video game. I'm thinking one of these emulator boxes would be great, he and his brother have smash bros on the Wii and that's about it. Does anyone know if these are expandable (up to 4 players)? These boys would probably love the old TMNT arcade game, or Street Fighter/tekken/Mortal Kombat eventually

The Third Party Retro Console thread spends a lot of time on the handhelds (and I mostly skip over non-handheld stuff) but it is for all third party retro consoles and will give you better advice than I can offer.

If you want to get them started on some old arcade classics, I can personally vouch for this little set:

If you want an emulator you can mod the Wii to run ROMs. Might be hard to get arcade sticks for it now.
Also lots of great Wii games if they only have Smash - MarioKart, Boom Blox, WarioWare, etc.

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

I finally found someone selling the goddamn cutesy bear-shaped wax melting spoon. I bought it immediately, we'll see if it ever actually shows up. Last time I assumed I could wait and the listing not only went down, I couldn't find a single other person selling the loving thing for months. I'm not risking it!!

Yeah there's this one

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...arch-mainSearch

but I haven't bothered myself, if it's something I design myself (which is most of the prints) I include a fillet on the bottom so the plastic spatula slides in and easily pops the print off. You can probably also find wash / cure machines and so on.

I've had the same one for a few years now and it still works perfectly for changing wheels and loosening some pretty stuck bolts. Though it's by far not the most powerful impact, it's plenty for casual use.

The fake Yeezy's arrived a couple of days ago, and frankly they look fantastic. The size is true, but the sole is a bit too mushy compared to the feel I prefer, though obviously I don't know if the genuine product has the same feel.

My wife was so impressed with them she asked me to order her a pair, but the seller I ordered from no longer has anything for sale on their product page. I guess I'll just have to search through and use the seller with the most sales and reviews.

E. Thought I'd mention it took about two weeks from ordering to arriving at my front door here in the land Down Under. Just waiting for my "Hurry up with my drat croissants" pin I ordered at the same time to arrive now.

This store has sizes up to 47, and has the store's name on the backdrop for the product pictures, I think I'm onto a winner here. Wish me luck.

This week I learned you could mute stores. The sale kicked off and some stores I purchased from in the past decided they wanted to send 9-15 messages in a row and piss me off with all the alerts.

I haven’t looked at the app to browse or buy much this week but my email recommendations are getting more expensive to force me to click on them. Stupidly priced car and plane sim stuff. I kind of wish I was either rich, or into plane sims because the stuff you can buy now is amazing. But I don’t even have a proper computer for gaming any more.

AU $35,330.67 to Build your own Lamborghini-a-like


AU $540.31 | DCS A10 warthog, Warthog MFD F16 Cougar simulation flight control panel. F16 control panel


AU $873.25 | Qcdu Boeing B737 Airbus A320 CDU FMC mcdu flight computer, made by Wei Lizhi. These are VGA only :aaa:


AU $12,501.82 | Gaming Chair Cockpit Zero Gravity Titling Support 1 -3 Monitors Cluvens Scorpion Chair Super Game Extradimensional Future. This looks stupid but I like the way it converts to laying down for lazy shits like me. However it needs to be paired with a better input device - keyboard and mouse flat on/above your lap while laying down doesn’t seem like it would work, we need some brain control type stuff or at least some minority report hand waving input.

My canvas Chinese opera shoes arrived today (in just over two weeks to the States)--they're really nice, just as promised. I got the lighter colorway, which (like the blue) is a little darker beige/khaki than pictured, but that just makes them more wearable, honestly. After a lot of hemming and hawing and measuring and checking known-good brand size charts, I ordered a size from my usual 41 and they were a tad big. :negative: But I figure I can slip on a pair of not-paper-thin no-show socks for extra comfort and to keep the insides clean and sweat-free. I'll give them a good once-over with the ol' 3M Scotchgard before taking them out for a spin in warmer weather. Thanks again for the recommendation!
