I bought vengeance and the night.

1989 Batman brooding on a gargoyle-encrusted outcrop.
The minifig is great, the cowl is nice and rubbery and the head can't turn (very faithful to the source), the cape is flowing in the wind nicely. The outcrop looks like ass. I think I'll get a custom brooding spot for him.

That’s why I’m deciding if I should buy it or not, considering it’s gonna leave a dent to my wallet, because in reality, even if it’s Thomas, it’s still an awesome thing to show off to someone, oooh I got a real prop seen in a popular show, it’s like keeping your own celebrity

Had to make some alternations to my gaming setup. My Xbox controller was showing some drift so replaced it.

I have that controller, but in purple.

It's nice and the pricing of it for what you get just shows how much the console manufacturers are bending people over for controllers because you have no choice there.

I got it from RetroGamingCables.co.uk (here) and the reviews and independent tests all say it works well. Plus the internal conversion was made by Retrotink creator Mike Chi so I basically trust that thing with my life. Everything I have from that guy has worked great and with zero issues.

They also have a Scart version if that's more useful to you.

What the hell is a Scart Version? It that the same thing as a Shart, but with silicon???

Finally got the new tire on for the rear tire. I had to cut the old, foam filled, tire off. Then I had took a heat gun to the new tire for almost 30 minutes so I can stretch it over the rim easier. Also used dish soap around the rim and the inner tire to reduce friction. Finally got the fucker on!

SCART is a French made connector for TVs that is basically analog HDMI from back in the 70's, and was widely used in PAL territories (and Japan) before HDMI eventually replaced it. It's a unified connector that can transfer both audio and video in multiple formats between devices, as well as allow for some small amount of interoperability by sending signals back to do things like power on or off the entire entertainment center just by turning on the TV.
But the most interesting part is really that it supports anything from composite to full RGB and has done so since long before component video became adopted.

Got a sleeve / "urban bag" for my Thinkpad. Pretty well cushioned and has a pouch that fits basically all accessories I got so far for the thing.

Also got a component cable for my Dreamcast that can output both 480p for my Retrotink 5x and 576i for my CRT.

And then I got a whole slew of merch. A Murder Drones zippered hoodie and a ton of Pokémon stuff.

The new Shedinja plushie does have the halo glowing, so it's now pulling guide duty by hanging from my flood lamp so I stop running into it in the dark. The Tinkaton figurine doing the hammer smash is a paperweight, which I found far too funny to pass up on.
Coincidentally Tinkaton is the best Pokemon from Scarlet and Violet, fight me.

Nice, but THIS MOTHER FUCKER KILLED A SHITLOAD OF PEOPLE.

I'm not making fun of earthquakes nor their devistating effects, but just California as a whole. I was living in NYC when this damn thing hit, and I used to work in a restaurant that, the entire crew in the kitchen were ALL HATIANS. it destroyed FUCKING EVERYTHING.

And here's a fun-loving event in California, BIG-ASS MOTHERFUCKING FIRES!!! Yeah, you can get far away from a wildfire, but there's no predicting an earthquake.

Put it this way... "Oh honey, yes, yes, yes YES YES YES!!!"

"Sorry baby, that was just a 4.3 quake..."


California, what a GREAT PLACE TO LIVE!!!

You know what? Where I live in California we don't got the fires and earthquakes come and go nothing too crazy. What I like is that I live in a country that doesn't get fucking bombed all the time.
