I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Didn't get many gifts on this year's birthday, so I bought some shit myself. :lollipop_tongue:

SandLand's manga. Been oogling at it and the art looks great, can't wait to read it.

A grinder for uuuuh... the herbs I use when cooking! It works great, turns that shit into shreds in no time and with barely any effort.
First time I have a metalic one too, always went with plastic ones but the last one I got was so bad I decided to upgrade.
 
I finally pulled the trigger on a full racing simulator.

If I may ask, what was the overall ballpark cost? My teen son wants to source parts and build one together. He loves Assettto Corsa. One of his mates/dad has a $15K setup and I'm not going anywhere near that for our first rig.

Looking forward to Corsa Evo with a rig and VR potentially.

Granted persona 4 golden was ordered last year but only recently arrived.

I ordered a load of t-shirts and shorts from bad rhino, as my old t-shirts are absolutely massive on me, and I'm down to 1xl shorts now 🤯😁

& Now I'm getting nothing but bad rhino adverts on neogaf haha
Better than horse cocks

The rig itself was ~800 USD from Advanced Sim Racing. Peripherals were ~2500. All Simagic from Sim-Motion. Seat is from Corbeau, it's an actual racing bucket seat, this was ~500. I needed this particular seat as I'm a big guy and this is big guy friendly. The TV I had, that's an LG C2 42''.. I cannot remember the price of these, I've had it over a year now.

I'd say if you end up building a rig- prioritize a good chassis, then pedals, then seat, and then everything else. Pedals and a stable chassis are paramount. A good and comfortable seat is also important. I'd suggest an NRG Prisma for a cheap bucket, or even going to a junkyard and pulling a bucket seat from a GTI or WRX or something.

You can PM me if you want/need more help I'm happy to assist

Business books, need to brush up on some concepts:

Getting to Yes
Getting to Yes: The Workbook
Getting past No

Also some French negotiation book, I can already see it’s shit.
Sounds like those are about dating lol, specially the "French negotiation" one. :goog_relieved:

Preordered for the PC, PS5 would have been my first choice before the PC version was announced, but they ended up selling out and not really into XBOX console, but that too is selling out now, kind of glad I waited as it would have been my first choice.

God, I wish I had the spare funds for this 😍
Definitely my most hyped game this year!

Dad buy AF

Timberland Ortholite shoes without laces, I have an old pair that I need to throw away. Same pair was on sale for 62€, couldn't pass it. The shoes are incredibly light and comfortable, especially if you need to run quickly to take out thrash or to the store, pointless to waste time to tie the shoes.
 
Attending Anime Expo now so these next few days are going to be a wonderful nightmare on my wallet however I did luck out big time with this figma figure:

figma-fate-grand-order-avenger-jeanne-d-arc-alter-shinjuku-ver-max-factory.jpg


She's been a nightmare tracking down for a decent price brand new and not pre-owned and she usually gets a combined with shipping price to total over $120+ at best when she did not sell for that much when she first went on sale. I was very lucky not only finding a booth that had this several year old figure in stock but had her sub $88 with no tax (via cash payment) which had me snapping her up before anyone else could see their mistake.

Also being at AX had me run into this:

I cannot express how tempted I am at the moment.

I can't say I just bought them but I was thinking earlier today that there are two things I purchased "recently" that I use much more often than I ever thought I would.



shopping


Dash mini griddle. I have used this thing almost every day since I purchased it. Mostly for making a single, fresh baked cookie but also for making fried eggs. Obviously, I would not recommend for more than one person. People tend to get angry if you only make one cookie for yourself.

Ninja 7-1 griddle/grill combo. Once I learned to never use the presets, this thing has been fantasic. Set to manual, set the internal temp of the meat, done. I do not use this daily but at least once a week.
 
These are my favorite DVD finds of the last couple weeks.

$1 and $3.

Nash Bridges is a valuable set. Released in 2016 (wtf) and goes for like 100 on ebay in nice condition. And the vietnam war is a 10 disc set and is new.

Much more interested in the latter but i'll give nash a shot.

I got the Blu-ray versions of Ken Burns The Vietnam War and The War awhile ago. Absolutely amazing documentaries that delve into every aspect of war without leaving out any details!

A Alex Anderson and Putonahappyface Putonahappyface I watched that documentary about Vietnam with my dad, He was in Vietnam. I remember him being frustrated and expressing that he had never heard that we started the war do to protecting French interest in the region. Most official reasons talk about stopping communism. And it was really about protecting legacy colonial interest of allies.

A shame you're not in the UK, as I've my old boxset up for sale in pristine condition.

Well I have the Steelbooks, I just don't know if I misplaced them when we moved. That seems unlikely to me as they were new at the time. I have all of my LOTR DVDs in a bookcase with my statues from the original releases. I just need to look some more. I know I didn't loan them.

Yes, but I have the original DVDs like below. And I also have the 4k steelbooks. I also have the BluRays as well. I have the Minis Morgal and Minis Tirith that came with the DVDs. ANd I even sent off for the crown of Gondor thig. I have all of that stuff and know where it is. I just can't find my 4k Steelbooks. I have been watching them with my son and I wanted to use the disk, but instead I streamed them because I could not find the disk.
