I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play ‘backed up’ games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.
I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.
When I was like 19 or something, I went into a restaurant, got seated, asked to see a dessert menu. I ordered dessert. Then I asked for an appetizer menu. And I ordered an appetizer. Then I paid, and left.
This. When I first started working, I ordered soup before my meal in a fancy restaurant.
Isn’t it normal to get soup before the main course?
Yes, but I think they were referring to either a:) the ability to afford to eat out or b:) the ability to be able to afford more than one course.
You didn’t even stay to eat them??
It’s not about dining, it’s about sending a message
A fucking sword.
Hentai figure XD
What did it look like?
He can’t remember. The jar is full.
vomit
Please never remind me of that again.
It’s not even necessarily the income for some things. Tons of things it just never occurred to me a person could get.
A great example is my Beast Wars Tigatron toy that I broke almost immediately after getting. One of the knees snapped. Mum glued it back together a few times, but he couldn’t really transform like that and it always broke again. Then last year I was just like “Fuck it. Somebody’s gotta be selling their own broken Tigatron on eBay with a good leg.” At long last I finally have a proper OG Tigatron.
Totally get you. I bought some Lego Alpha Team sets and a Bionicle couple years ago because I realized sites like BrickLink work
When I was a kid, I was really into driving games, started off with Mario Kart and Stunt Race FX on the SNES, later moved onto F1 World Grand Prix on the N64, for which I had one of these bad boys.
You put your legs either side of the wheel to hold it in place. It wasn’t very good at all if I’m being honest. Even at the time, 9 year old me thought it wasn’t great.
So during covid, I saw that V3 pictured above being sold on facebook marketplace for 20chf (swissbux), and thought I could do better. Started off with a Logitech G29 and ended up with this:
Yes, cable management is not great, but I’m in a relatively small apartment, so gotta wedge it in a corner, but it’s my corner, the Corner of Speed
I also loved racing games as a kid and my first purchase after I moved out was a g29 lmao.
I’d love to have a simrig and could probably afford one nowadays, but space is really big issue when living in an apartment. I don’t really have a free corner to put it in like you.
Big ass Star Wars Lego sets. Actually I didn’t want them as a kid because they didn’t exist yet, but I was really into Star Wars ever since I saw Return of the Jedi in a theater (one if my first movie memories), and I drooled over sets like the Imperial Star Destroyer as a young adult. Now I have my very own Venator!
