NERD SHIT

View attachment 441467

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💚
That's fucking awesome, mate. :D

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.

Finally got my Riffmaster and it just feels amazing to play with.

If anyone likes the Rock Band styled guitars, Riffmaster is pretty much the best one you can get.

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
 
I didn’t realize that Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance had come out until it arrived at my door two days ago. I, for some reason, thought that it was coming out in August. A local Gundam shop received a shipment, and they had one of the MG kits I wanted, so I ordered it. The kit was the MG Shenlong. Now I only need the MG Heavyarms to complete my Gundam Wing set. I also ordered two HG kits, two SD kits, an action base, and some supplies that I was running low on.

I had no intention of buying anything until I saw the Shenlong.
 
A Creality K1 Max 3D Printer (Ignore all the hate about it this thing is the Bomb if you know what you are doing)

and finally an MTW Airsoft gun (Its kinda the Best thing you can get out of the box without having to worry every time you go on a field to play)
 
so this is a long one, front and center we have my "new" MSI WS63 7RK laptop, its a workstation device from 2017 and holy boy this thing kinda beats my modern 2021 laptop in terms of features.
to the left under my Xbox controller is a hard drive cloning dock, just haven't taken it out of its box, and under that is a PNY NVME drive that i bought for the NVME to USB adapter.
