Bought last Black Friday on Target (was really tired on Fri/Sat, and did nothing but sleep). The guy behind me on register mumbled "You're making a huge mistake" when he spotted BotW on my cart :/ I'm used to mistakes though.

Spoiler

Then this arrived after purchasing it on Best Buy online last week (using it just for Mew on Shield)

Spoiler

The rest, uhh...will arrive on Thursday or Friday.

Ordered an RCA-optical converter to connect my audio setup to my new bedroom TV, and some m6 screws for the vesa mount cuz apparently my old tv used much smaller screws for the mount

Tv is great though, looks really good.

Check your order, seems valve kept taking orders when they didn't even have stock to satisfy demand
They refunded a bunch of people already https://kotaku.com/valve-finally-ran-out-of-steam-controllers-1840173406

They most likely arnt making any more's of these since it was a failed product unfortunately

Listen to audio books, thats pretty much it
The point is the e-ink screen, its a monochrome screen meant to mimic real paper, the display is always on, even during sleep, only the backlight is shut off, it pretty much uses no power during this mode
its sits in the box like that, I thought it was one of those peel things on screen but it was the actual display that was already on.

The refresh rate is terrible so you can pretty much forget about watching videos or web browsing, not that there is any support for it anyway.

First impressions, do you think it's worth the price?

I've been thinking about upgrading to an Oasis from my Kindle Paperwhite 2 from 2013, but I honestly can't justify the (IMO) ridiculous price for an Oasis vs getting a Paperwhite for $130, or even a used Voyage for like $80.

I got mine when it was on sale this past bf for $199 (for the 32GB), they had the 8GB for $175, I really did not want to pay $300 for it and also don't think it worth that much but at this price I decided to go for it.
This is my first kindle device (or any device with an e-ink screen) so I can't really compare it to anything, I just used my note 10.1 to read ebooks which was "ok" but not great.

It feels like a premium device, like an ipad if you ever handled one, metal back, all glass screen.

If you are really interested in upgrading, they have the oasis 2nd gen (32GB+cell connection) for $150 on closeout

I bought my ticket to the reptile expo on sunday. I usually go to one every 3-4 months to buy food/supplies for my animals. Bought Wolfenstein Youngblood deluxe edition for $15. Not the best Wolfenstein game I've play and it has a lot of slow downs, atleast for me. My friend bought fire pro wrestling on PSN so I got that from game sharing with him.

Ahh ok I see.

Yeah, I find even $150 to be just a bit too much for something I'm just going to use for reading at night, especially when I can get a used Voyage (which has the same screen PPI and just less LEDs and a 1"smaller screen) for $80.

If it did more I might consider it, buy ehhh web browsing on Kindles is atrocious and I don't listen to audiobooks so meh lol. Guess I'll wait until my Paperwhite dies or something

Portal 1 and 2 for £1.06 in the Steam sale

Got this cheap led strip from AliExpress for like 2$. Improved my setup DRASTICALLY. My room now looks BADASS in the dark!

 

[Joe88]

Capacitors to fix my ups.

Getting boring in my old age, boring old caps for boring repairs.

I just recently found Custer's Revenge for the Atari 2600 at a yard sale for $1.00. Also, my brother-in-law found some of his old systems and had no use for them, he gave me his old GameCube and PSTV + accessories. Both really cool find / gift!

I just bought myself a bottle of my favourite Vodka. Yep it won't last the night .
