My order of Gundams, car model kits, and paints arrived yesterday.

Some of the Gundams I already own or are variations of kits I already have, like the Zaku. I have four different variations of that kit. I wanted to do some customized kits and got them because they are cheap kits to experiment on.

Tanjiro from Demon Slayer t-shirt, little Toon Link plush, Yoshi socks, Yoshi Lego minifig (unofficial).

We had a great day at the local nerd convention, saw fam and friend, just what we needed to smile after some rough time lately.

Edit: I noticed a common theme between these purchases: green. I fucking love green 💚

Got some new headphones. Heard about these Koss Porta Potty Pros pretty regularly so I got curious, and found them on sale for ~30 bucks.

For some context, those came to market in 1984, and have been in production unchanged ever since.
However I also heard the ear pads suck ass so I got some replacement ones from good old Japan.

They're actually, genuinely really good. Incredibly light, very comfortable, and sound great with a lot of bass. They're not as clear in the top end as my more expensive sets, but for travel? Perfect.

Like they're impressively small when folded down. GB cart and CD cardboard sleeve for scale.

In the same shipment of earpads I got some for my Grado SR80x. They're much less of an upgrade there, but do feel a little nicer as they're firmer with finer texture than the original pads.

And got some weeb music for a giggle. Pretty okay, though it's a CD-R and that just makes the jank even better.

just got a backbone one brand new directly from their site for $49.99 and free shipping.

Theres a 30% off coupon if you’re a backbone+ member (which is free for 30 days) and on TOP of that it honors the current 20% off fathers day sale and stacks them to be 50% off. For free shipping just sign up for emails and texts then immediately cancel it.

If you need to own the controller to sign up for backbone + then there are creative options. I just HAPPENED to buy one from amazon and now it’s getting returned 🤷🏽‍♂️

Actually, this is the second one I’m returning to amazon. I got the first one with the gamesir x2s and G8 to see what I liked most and kept the X2s. Just didn’t think it was worth it for $100 when the main thing I wanted it for (play on any screen) is a pain to activate and locked behind a paywall once my subscription ends. But after longer with the x2s it’s too uncomfortable so I got the backbone on the fathers day sale and the easysmx m10. But NOW that the backbone is half off it’s easily the best value an has the best placed face buttons that dont keep my thumbs rubbing against the right stick.

My friend wants to get one, but they are sold out everywhere or are being sold for four times the price.
Definitely wait, look at retailers and also PDP's website.

Don't let your friend buy a guitar at a scalped price, if they really want one for that price they're better off buying a modded guitar from 760creations for example to support the Guitar Hero community.

He didn't. He found the guitar for retail, but it was the Xbox version, and he wanted the PS5 version. So he's still looking for one
