Got a metal case for a vintage watch that's normally all resin. The movement fit perfectly as that's the criteria under which I found the case, but the stock caseback doesn't match. I didn't get a caseback with the case, so all I can do now is be miserable because nobody makes casebacks for that model.

I was that close to having a great modded watch, but no, I had to run into a beginner trap. FUCK!
 
I just made from scratch a board for play «The Royal Game of UR» supposedly the most ancient board game know by mankind

Now I am facing the turning point of choose how I will print the dices

The game uses a set of four-sided, tetrahedron-shaped dice. Two of the four corners of each die are marked and the other two are not, so you can add the colored tip(s) what are at top at the trow of the three dice. The possible numbers going from 1 to 3 and 4 if no pips are shown BUT with a chance of 1 in 8 for each number.
So I could print a Octahedron-d4 or the four Tetrahedron dice. A single Tetrahedron with four numbers will have no the same chances as four Tetrahedron-d2 dice or the Octahedron-d4.

What do you think Should I print a Octahedron-d4 or three Thetrahedron-d2?

I already modeled this octahedron

But the tetrahedron will be easy too.

The flash gear and replacement caps I ordered for my Game Gear came today. I already replaced most of the caps, but I'm going to order some tantalum caps because the kit didn't come with the 6v 10uf and 6v 33uf caps. I must have mistakenly ordered the wrong kit.

I also ordered a new USB-C power board and an audio board for it. So that means I have to mod my Game Gear power back to have a USB-C out cable instead of the barrel jack. It's already been modded with a LiPo battery and a USB-C charge port.

Not sure if you know but Flintstones comes out on 4K Steelbook in June.
Thanks for the heads up, just preordered off of Amazon. Some solid movies coming out for pre-order, Speed Racer, Flintstones, Super Mario Galaxy. Mario I love the steelbook on Amazon, it looks just like Rosalina's storybook.
 
I need to grab that myself lol

BTW, best place to keep up is Dawn of the Discs on Nitter (I don’t use X itself) or Instagram.

They usually have what’s coming out.

The three big ones (IMO) coming out are the Stranger Things box set in July (4K and Blu options), Day of the Dead 4K in June, and Mortal Kombat Kollection with 1 and Annihilation on 4K two weeks after.

Just the console to come later today now!

Got everything pre-owned, but figured I should probably jump on it before the second hand market adjusts to the increased retail prices. £300ish for the console with cables/controller, £20 for Demon's Souls, £40 for Astro Bot. Not the best, not the worst.

Astro Bot is fun as hell. You're gonna love it.

the mouse need 2 AAA's
Be aware if the current batteries are rechargeable ones.

some time ago I buy a set of wireless Keyboard and mouse and three pairs of batteries comes with the set, a pair go on the receiver, one on the keyboard and the last on the mouse, As you could infer, the batteries where rechargeable so, when the ones on the mouse or keyboard got empty you interchange with the ones on the receiver which is a charger.

My cousin buy the same set and 6 months after trow it because «there is no way of maintain that thing because i have to buy 6 alkaline batteries each month!!!!»
