A few minidisc things, a recorder that currently refuses to work (first image), a player only unit and a hi-md recorder that both do work (second image), and a rainbow assortment of minidiscs to actually put some music on.

Purchased a Sharp 43" UHD TV which I'm happy with, but I hate that its "legs" at far left/right than in the middle (like my oldie LG 32" LCD has). :/

Oh well, no biggie.
You can get a universal tv table top stand. I bought one for my 50" when i got it cause I also hate those tiny legs on it. My sister also wanted one for her new TV when she got it.

I got this one and I haven't had any problems with it and it feels like decent quality.

A while ago (maybe three weeks) I bought a PS3 controller from AliExpress as someone asked me and personally, it looks very good and feels very good, too.

It's rubberized than just plastic like the DualShock/SixAxis controllers are so I quite like that, still, the plastic ones are better as they don't somewhat "stick" to your hands.

Rubberized plastic goes very sticky after years of use.

Yeah, I'm not keeping it so it's good to test it out either way.

That said, it almost looks identical and perfected to a DS/SA which is not surprising as PS3 was released in 2006. However, GCN unbranded third party controllers are just shit (left analog stick goes loose) after a few months so there's that.

Got some more model kits shipped. The online store I buy them from called me and told me that they cant find one of the kits I ordered so they let me chose a different kit that was $30 or less, I paid $20 for the original one.

So I got a HG AC Gundam Sandrock, a MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. 3.0, a Figure-rise Standard - Dukemon / Gallantmon (Amplified) (it's my 1st Digimon kit), a HG BD:R Core Gundam II [G-3 Color], a RG Astray Red Frame and i was supposed to get a HG AC OZ-06MS LEO but they instead couldn't find it and I got a HG Age-2 Dark Hound instead.

I recently purchased the Nyxi wizard controller for the Nintendo switch and the case to go with it.

they're comically large and trying to use the GameCube layout for most modern games is more than a bit clunky but I fell in love with it. I play a lot of Splatoon 3 and was worried about the gyro capabilities but it pleasantly surprised me and is now my main controller.

    designed for only specific hardware

    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip

    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

    Yeah the 360 dongles sucked
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
