Things you recently bought or got

I got yellow joycons at target for $60 bucks good deal!

New case for my phone, and one half of an obscure space elf space opera that I love a lot, just came in! Now to get Banner of the Stars...

I got some foundation to use on Friday during prom along with tinted lip balm and contact lens and solution for it. Also bought myself some black socks since my old ones were missing for some reason and also a reversible black/brown belt and brown shoes. I've yet to pick up my tuxedo from the tailor but once I do, I'll post pictures here. Overall, spent about $200 on everything for prom, excluding the prom fees and the hotel booking. Adding them, it'd be closer to $300.


Also bought the February Humble Bundle and Wargroove

I just got a Hori left joycon with a dpad.

Overall nice little controller. The dpad is great. It’s very similar to the dpad on the WiiU Pro Controller.

The analog stick feels kind of different, and frankly a little cheap. I didn’t buy it for the analog stick though, so that’s okay.

How comparable is the size of the d-pad to the one on the pro controller, if you don’t mind my asking?

I don’t have a Switch Pro Controller to compare it to, but it’s slightly smaller than the WiiU Pro Controller dpad. Like the WiiU one it curves up slightly toward the edges, and unlike the WiiU one it is matte, so it has a different texture.

If you get one, make sure you put it on the switch before you launch RetroArch. Once you launch RA, you’re locked in to whatever was controller 1 when you launched it, and it won’t recognize it if you switch it out afterwards.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Now at least I have a real-world size comparison to go on.


And I suppose while I’m here. My latest acquisition is a new Bean-to-cup coffee maker, to take over from all of the other coffee machines I have - got to feed the addiction.


Hardest part was convincing the wife I needed one. She’s not a coffee drinker so explaining why one bean-to-cup isn’t the same as the one I have was getting me nowhere. What worked in the end was ignoring her and buying it anyway

Awesome, I didn’t know about those, probably the best option I’ve seen yet. Thanks.

Yes it is true,my FIRST SSD drive.

Crucial BX500 - 480 GB Internes SSD
3D NAND, SATA, 2,5-Zoll

I recently got some music.
This record, for one. Translucent grey vinyl, limited to 200 copies :3
Tricot - 3

Funny thing, when the package arrived, I had gotten an extra record from the label.
The very first one they ever published, and has been sold out for a long time. Though, when one band member was moving houses, he found a box with records. So they sold the remaining few for £10.. or sent it for free to some customers!

Itch - Well, Well, Well, three holes in the ground (white vinyl)

 

[Shadow#1]

I think they look better then the white joystick and completes the package [emoji14]

@Tom Bombadildo the topic is supposed to be "recently". Something you started 9 months ago is a bit beyond that.

Keeping on topic. Usual books and tools, including a nice deal on some drill bits (lidl were doing a nice step drill, taper drill, something they call a milling bit and countersink, and in my case also a set of forstner bits all for £6). Found a copy of Animal Crossing DS for £1 in a charity shop (case, manuals and all) so I thought it would be rude not to, apparently it still commands a reasonable price as well.
Got a pretty sweet case iron book stand as well but I may end up losing that.

Because skin care is important

And I also picked up my new coat from the tailor along with the long sleeves and the slacks.

 

[Silterpy]

Bought a 32gb Kingston usb drive to make a back up/repair drive of windows 10, it was $8 on Amazon. Bought on one of Amazon's warehouse deals a 480gb Kingston ssd and a sata cable for it. That was $75. Finally going to upgrade to a ssd and have my 1tb as a second drive,but will soon upgrade that to a 4tb drive.
