A bunch of tea from David’sTea. I totally don’t blame the coffee thread from the other day.

An electric hand warmer! I live in a much colder environment now, my profile says Seattle but I'm in Indiana now for college and it gets much more chilly. For whatever reason, my hands get really, really cold, even indoors, so I wanted a hand warmer to stay a little toastier, especially during long study sessions.

A free portable ssd for review

Free is never a bad thing. That’s not to say the freebie won’t be a bad item, it’s just nice getting freebies.
I’m pleased with my latest freebie but I’m still under the NDA until the bugger releases. It’s not the one I’d liked to have been given, but maybe next time :D

Newest acquisition, a SD2SNES:

I did have a Super UFO before this:

While the SUFO is ok, it does play most of the things I’m interested in - Rom Hacks of Super Mario mostly. But the file system of the SUFO is shit, it’s a pain in the butt trying to remember which game is which.

So the SD2SNES is much, much better in that department. Plus it now plays (with a beta firmware) 100% of the English language SNES games. Finally I can play Star Fox 2 on the system it should be played on, instead of my SNES Mini. Along with all of the prototypes and unreleased games. Happy days :D

So I wandered into a charity book shop expecting not a lot. What sits in front of me was an engineering reference book still useful in the modern world for more than my legacy machinery fixing/recreation* operations. This is also one that gets very expensive compared to how things were in years past so I was there thinking this is going to hurt, especially following a holiday and Christmas and several birthdays.

Nope £1.99, and another few books elsewhere on the day but that was the big one.

*I did also find a few books on old Victorian era ironmongery items (you can buy a carpeted footrest for your carriage wouldn't you know) and domestic bygones which will likely be remade when I get the forge up properly.

Good find, I've seen those exact volumes on Amazon for £20, sometimes more.

Ronson Multi-Fill Butane Fuel, Graham Crackers, Marshmallows, Hershey's Chocolate, and Toothpicks.

At work today we had candied yams on the menu, and one of our chefs tried to see if he could toast a marshmallow using the heatlamp. I asked him why he doesn't just use his lighter, to which he pulls out his torch lighter and blasts the thing. I went outside at work on break, put a marshmallow on a toothpick, and used my lighter to do the same, only more evenly. Which gave me the idea to go get some butane for my lighter and the other things so I could make some s'mores in my room.

I got resident evil 2 Deluxe edition for PS4. Kind of wish to save the extra $10 and got the regular edition. All you get with it is two guns I don't use, I don't use the new costumes either and it comes with the original re2 ingame sound track.

Bought a 5.5 gallon aquarium about 4 weeks ago. Going to be getting some neocaridina shrimp in about a month at the reefexpo in march for it. Its setup and is basically cycled and the parameters are all good so far.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
