I'm going to pretend this is in response to The Joy of Gay Sex

lol, ik. I should've cropped that part out of the pic.

It was just for nostalgia, and the building of my own physical library

I got a new capture card a few days ago to round out my fairly compact streaming setup:

Got the first week of March booked off work for Monster Hunter and planning to stream for the majority of it, but with how unstable my main PC has been lately I wanted to stream off something else. Needed the new capture card to be able to capture my 21:9 monitor. Should at least mean the stream doesn't die when my PC inevitably does!

You need to get the perfect bundle version, included the gba expansion pak and rumble pak8

Seeing this makes me kind of nostalgic. M3 DS Real was my first flashcart and my first venture into real piracy as a kid.

Got some more plushies and a shirt.

The shirt is meant to be part of a set of three, but the other two are still stuck in transit.

I've got the same keyboard! It's solid. How are you liking it?

LIKING A LOT, only had a issue with Bluetooth where randomly seems to get crashed and the keyboard resets itself, happens once at day but can be a little frustrating, opened a case on 8BitDo Support but no answer, I think they are on new year's holidays.

50 sheets drawing block
5B Prismacolor
3B Prismacolor
0.7mm Leads
Compass
Edit: Went for a 36 piece Colored Pencils pack. Been hearing good things about this brand. Some say they're almost as good as Prismacolor but better than Prismacolor Junior.

2 weeks ago I bought the same drawing block for almost twice as much with 30 paper sheets

Do you remember the PRISMACOLOR with the Red Box?
I do

Yes I do! Even I still have a little box of color pencil prismacolor on transparent plastic display holder, great days.

Absolutely.
I remember the "popping" sound they made in contact with the paper when I colored with the old PRISMACOLOR because they used to be that waxy and soft.

Nothing is the same anymore, not even PRISMACOLOR are like they used to be. It's sad, instead of improving, everything is getting worse (and expensive).

People on YouTube were like: "These NORMA are like the PRISMACOLOR Junior, so get them if you can't afford the PRISMACOLOR"

And of course, went for the NORMA and, indeed they're like PRISMA Junior... both aren't good.

Yes, they are «school» brands no professional ones.

No, but I mean, maybe what, 10 years ago? They were better than what they're nowadays.

Of course they're not professional, but certainly the quality of PRISMA Junior dropped significantly, to the point that other school brands can compete in quality with a huge brand like PRISMACOLOR.

Spotted an RTX 5080 in stock and couldn't help myself. All the news about melting connectors is a bit worrying though.
