What if this was the original inspiration for Craigslist?
Library
But who would take over the website when I get bored?
look. I’m really going to use these domains I pay good money for every month
You pay monthly?
Those stay in the closet until I’m ready to come back to that hobby
Lucky you, my closet’s full… .as is my room, garage, and ‘work’ room.
Fun fact, the oven I use to make my cosmetics was recently recalled.
Sounds like a great idea which neither of us is gonna remember about tomorrow. I’m in!
Remember what?
Capitalism if it was actually driven by demand.
If you’re alright with paying Goodwill prices instead of free swaps, this is basically what a creative reuse store is if you want to search for one near you. I’ve got so much craft stuff on the cheap from the one near me.
Basically amateur/ham radio.
Oh, that reminds me, I’ve got a milk crate full of old ham radio stuff. I should get my license and see if any of it still works…
You can hook all of it up and do receive only while you are preparing for your exam. Once you get your license enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Getting setup, turned on, and receiving is 70% of the work.
I have everything you need to make graphic tee shirts… 5 years ago… boxes never opened…
Y’all are buying stuff??
I hyperfixate on research to find the best price/performance fpr my use case and then either forget, abandon or maybe follow through with it.
Last research (but only very minor): Ayn Thor to emulate Nintendo DS with an actual clam-shell dual screen setup.
Usecase: Pokemon Plat (or Diamond) and Dr. Kawashima would be prime material.
But it would be capable of playing less-demanding switch titles.Currently waiting because of cost and quality of hardware. But it looks promising (believe it was 400€ in total)
none of the DS emulators impress me enough to consider yet mainly bc of the touchscreen lag/no hard stylus
probably wouldn’t be impactful for pokemon but in DS games that heavily use the touchscreen it’s pretty noticeable
As I’ve only tried melonDS so far on a SteamDeck touchscreen with my finger, I can’t say much about responsiveness (not easy to slide on the screen).
But I’ll try and see how to works. Thanks for info.
When it’s as you described, I have at least a more portable pokemon Emulator than my steamdeck.oh yeah for sure I don’t think it’s a bad fit for your use case tbh just wanted to share my personal hangups.
i really wanna play diamond/pearl (my OG) but really cba with the two screens smooshed into one on my retroid pocket flip 2 but I didn’t even consider it for steamdeck … that doesn’t sound terrible w how big the screen is
considered the remake/remaster/whatever for the switch and could cope w the much less cool gfx but last I looked into it it didn’t emulate well
I play the brilliant diamond on my steamdeck (and pc) with yuzu and synced saves (syncthing) across both devices.
Honestly it’s amazing.
Same for melonDS.Btw regarding responsiveness: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Kt3GezkZeR4 (Timestamp: 16:14) for a demo at how responsive the emulator is on the ayn thor.
I like this because it’s also practical (and that Thor looks pretty sweet btw). What I’ll do is create a spreadsheet of all the classes I would need to take and in what sequence in order to get into medical school, even though I have literally zero intention of ever doing so.
Not something I’d choose to research but everyones different :)
Hope you stay high on your dopamine and your future research endeavours!
Except to would have swappers remorse and almost immediately become super interested in the hobby again.
I might still have a use for my box of woodcarving tools someday. Maybe.
Literally every time I’ve finally been like “okay I’m really never going to use this” and get rid of something. A situation will come up in the next few months where I’m like “welp, this would have been perfect for that thing I threw out”.
This. I have a few boxes of random tech shit. I am always going through them for various cables, dongles, or whatever. At least a few times a month.
Same, anytime someone in my circle has a tech problem I usually have a part on hand to get them back up and running again or use while they order a replacement.
I was super into 3D printing and sold and gave away everything. Now I miss it and fighting my urge to buy another printer.
If it will make you happy and won’t break the bank, do it bro! I just bought a 3rd and 4th gaming computer because it was too good a deal/upgrade to pass up and you know what, that $450 will not only come back, but I am going to get so much more joy from a 3080/5900x rig than the money in my account made me
Just, uh, just curious what happened to the 1st and second. And the third? Or do you use two at once?
In my experience my 4th consumed the internals of 1-3
You guys know you can just upgrade the components right?
I can’t upgrade the hard drives my stuff is stored on.
So it just gathers more and more SATA connections as it ages.
Yep
Some old dude put a better than mine computer for sale at a silly price, when I got there he had a second older system he didn’t want. Now I have to decide what case to put the best parts in, build out my current spare for a friend, and start getting used to Linux on the old one. And my second computer runs the TV in my bedroom.
Damn. I need to keep my eyes peeled for a deal like that. My current computer has parts almost old enough to vote.
My printer broke like 5 years ago and i still have so many rolls of material…
Thats when I exited 3D printing. Looks like so many new and better printers now.
I bought mine in 2016 and it took me weeks to get it dialed in where I could actually make shit with it. My brother bought one like 3 years ago and had it up and running that night. He paid like half as much as I did for mine as well. Crazy how much things have improved. Although it does seem like some vendors are trying to get people locked into proprietary bullshit so you have to watch for that.
Ya, I think I will pick up a multi color enclosed printer eventually.
So don’t use those unless they are still sealed. Otherwise you’ll end up with dry spaghetti everywhere when you drop it
I sealed them in some vacuum clothes bags with a silica gel pack but i wouldn’t count on that to keep them good for the last 5 years XD i also got a food dehydrator last year so i could bring them back i think.
Depending on how much time has passed, your old gear might have been outdated anyway, so many new shinies.
sighs at old semi-abandoned Ender3 v1 in need of tinkering
eyes all the new reasonably priced multi-filament or resin printers
I had a Ender V1 and a V2 as well. I really want a bamboo, but I saw they are locking things down and making it more difficult on tinkerer. I haven’t been in the 3D printer game since 2020.
There will be a successor, there always is. And new high-resolution monochrome resin printers are more and more affordable all the time… Getting into resin printing is almost as tempting as my spouse’s “no” is firm.
If it wasn’t for the fumes, I would. But I have kids now so it’s not a good idea.
