I forgot how much I love these things. I ended up buying a set of 10 discs and currently ripping the playlists off of them for posterity sake.

Taking a gamble on a Jasper gaming table. Heard they had some build quality/consistency issues when they first launched, but the recent reviews I've found have been largely positive. My friends and I do a ton of board gaming so fingers crossed I don't get a dud.

Firefly Bad Cat, a copy of the old Hohner that Prince played. $227 shipped to my door. Double bound body, flame maple top and back with a walnut stripe down the middle. Damned impressive for the price.

Firefly has their own online store

Some of them end up on Amazon, probably the ones that aren't selling, and they do sell some on ebay now and then. I think those are the returns usually.

I had to buy one of these bad boys for college. The prof was insistent that it had to be minidisc, had to be this model for field recordings. It was a giant pain to get those recordings back off again with software, but we were actually made to connect the headphone out into a 3.5mm input in a recording studio to get them. Maybe they made the wrong choice on purpose to evoke the old days of transferring media? Anyway the laser failed after less than 3 years and it was going to cost more to repair it than to replace it.

I very badly want a microtech knife but switchblades are illegal in my state and I also don’t have a spare $400, so I ordered a Civivi Chronic.

Pretty painless, basically it was the same as just buying and returning stuff but without charging a bunch of money and waiting for a refund.

I have the Civivi Baby Banter and it's fantastic. It's perfectly centered with no lock rock and the edge is pretty good for factory. They make really good quality for the price.

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
X-Box Series S:


Microsoft has them for $250 ($50 off) for the holidays, and Target is throwing in a $50 GC if you buy online and do in-store pickup, so functionally $200 since I have plenty I'll have to buy at Target between now and...well, ever. I'll probably use the GC within a day of getting it for gifts for other people.

I have a PS5, and have just been jealous of the overall MUCH better quality and quantity of games I see on GamePass, and I don't have any real gaming PC setup, so the Series S is perfect for me, just going to be a Gamepass Stream Machine.

No poo poo, the PS5 has like five exclusives... however, I bought Demon's Souls remake two full loving years ago, digital deluxe and everything, so I just ordered a PS5 today. Apparently that's a thing now, you can just go on PS Direct and buy one, what a time to have waited two whole loving years be alive!

I figured it was time to upgrade my chair, as a sort of graduation present to myself. Compared to the previous one, this one feels like there's an actual massage therapist hidden in there.

The cat laid claim to it immediately, of course.

Oh that is pretty. I love the design, you're right that it's similar to a Microtech.

drat the law though, if you want a Microtech get one. It's just a knife. I once 'knew' a Damascus steel Combat Troodon and I loved it so much. Steak just tasted better when it was cut with that knife. And I live in Canada.

Didn't pay for it today but only received it today: an ID card. Haven't had official ID since my passport expired in 2011. Was finally inspired to get one when I tried to deposit money into my co-op account at their grocery store and they declined because I didn't have official ID.

e: ^^^ I like that the retaining wall looks like Turkish delight.

Yeah, co-operative grocery retail has been a thing in the UK for a very long time but most of it since the 80s has been all brought into a single group. Don't know if this is the exact co-op Megadoodoo is talking about but it's the main one I'm familiar with.
