Had a bit of extra cash this week so I indulged and bought a bunch of stuff

Patches! Various metal-related ones from here:

And some anime ones for my wife and her friend from etsy:

Stickers (from etsy again):

Some clothes for my wife:

(just the dark blue one in the middle)

I also got some Mob Grip grip tape and some 'vintage' Hook-Ups stickers but don't have any photos.

I just found them on eBay by searching for 'Sailor Moon bra'. They were only AUD20 so they're probably knock-offs but I didn't really want to spend close to $100 on the genuine ones.

E: This is the link from the eBay app. No idea if it will work properly though as I'm phone-posting.

I have a job interview tomorrow so I felt like I should stop dressing like an IT goon and start dressing like an adult. To facilitate this I bought a suit:

and some shoes (but in black):

I now look 100% less goony and more like a real grownup :downs:

Nice, have you visited the Board Game thread?

Yep, I've been lurking for a while and asked a few questions which is how I found out about Core Worlds which I then luckily stumbled across buried on a dusty shelf at my FLGS as it seems to be almost impossible to find in Australia.

I am also from Australia and finding board games can suck sometimes.

Try https://goodgames.com.au. That's where I got Euphoria and Chez Goth and delivery only took two days after I ordered from their webstore. They've got a few stores in Melbourne (and I think other cities) and postage for online orders is only $5 per order. They seem to have a good variety of old and new games and other gaming related stuff.

Also, if there are any Mindgames stores near you take the time to poke around as they often have a lot of old stock stacked up on their shelves due to the limited popularity of board games as a hobby in Australia.

Couldn't you've just installed a GPS app on your smartphone? I thought people stopped buying GPS hardware because of that.

Everyone here just use Waze, which is great.

There are a few reasons I decided to buy a GPS:

- I live in Australia
- I have a prepaid cellphone with limited data and not-great battery life
- I spend a lot of time driving out in the country and in newly-developed suburban estates for which Google maps isn't always accurate
- As other posters have mentioned, having a large, dedicated touchscreen device with clear, simple directions is easier to follow than relying on my phone

A 'Cree' 2200 lumen torch (actually a knock-off from eBay) for :20bux:

A bulk lot (18 rolls) of dog poo bags, also for :20bux:

An Anker Astro E5 16000mah portable charger to use when I go on holiday next month:

Can you not use the turntables through the S2? I pipe mine through my DDJ SX.

Maybe? I sold my turntables and am planning to use the Kontrol for DJ'ing but also bought the mixer so I can, eventually, get at least one CDJ and one turntable just to play my existing physical media.

Where do people find these super obscure shops/sellers that only have like 1 or 2 things up for sale?

I recently got into collecting moral patches (and I already liked collecting pins thanks to Penny Arcade), and I'd really like to find more shops that sell them. Mostly to try and find something other than mildly racist, right wing, "high speed, low blood sugar" style mall operator shops that also happen to have a few cool nerd designs.

@patchgame on instagram is a good starting point.

It's an Xduoo 3 mp3 player because I'm a special snowflake who doesn't want an iPod. It can store up to 256gb of music (across two 128gb micro SD cards) and plays flac files which is the format I use for most of my music. Can't wait to be able to carry around the bulk of my music collection and listen to it whenever I want.
