So... I didn't exactly intend to do it, it just sort of happened. But, I've been collecting literal garbage since the pandemic started. I had this bright idea to cover my mini fridge in labels from beer cans. I thought it could be a fun project to have a tacky garage beer fridge. Well I still haven't gotten around to actually doing it, but I've been collecting cans this whole time anyway.

Step 1: take labels off, stick on fridge. You're done. Seriously next time you walk past that garbage pile just go toss one of those bags in sink, wash cans out. Proceed to step 1 and it'll be done in no time.

falz posted:Step 1: take labels off, stick on fridge. You're done. oh gross, no. They're already washed out and dried. I developed a regimen of washing them out as soon as I pour the beer, then setting them aside to dry. The problem I think I have, is that I couldn't really decide on which ones to use. I need a couple hundred to cover the fridge, but there's probably over a thousand cans.

This is a good start for a beginner, but I'd really like to see more cans. Just start just tossing cans above your kitchen cabinets. Got an seldom used closet? Throw loose cans in there until you can't shut the door.

Yeah I think this is the way you’re going to have to do it, just start slapping things on and when you run out of space look through the rest of the bags for really good ones that justify being stuck over what’s already on there.

Does the side of the mini fridge get warm while it's running the cooling cycle? Some of them have the condenser coils in the sides / side walls and don't use an external coil, and if you cover the outside up you'll decrease the cooling ability quite a bit. I don't know how to find a diagram to illustrate this so you'll have to trust I'm not a crank, just look and make sure the fridge you want to cover has coils somewhere that you can see in the back or underneath.

I did take first steps today though, I pulled the fridge out of it's hole defrosted it. I'm gonna scrub it down, get rid of a touch of rust on the bottom corners, and then get to stickin'.

while I was going through some of my sister's belongings, I found a huge chinese takeout container-shaped box filled with beer bottle tops from hundreds of different beers that she was going to completely layer a table with, then encase completely with...clear liquid plastic, the name escapes me right now, you put up barriers and just fill a thing with it and it hardens into a clear plastic. epoxy? I'm totally spacing it atm. anyways I've always liked the idea of customizing a container or piece of furniture in that way.GnarlyCharlie4u posted:omg you're a loving genius.

^^^ I'm spacing on the name, but I love that craft. It looks great when done right. I was gonna try it about a decade ago when I had more space for creative endeavors, but I recall the epoxy itself being sort of pricey.

That's right, a pourable resin/epoxy. Has a few names: pourable, bar-top, coating, etc. It's not cheap, but it's gotten a lot more accessible since the DIY movement became more of a thing (esp. river tables).

Probably a radical departure from most goon collections but w/e They're really hard to fit into a photo in a non-awkward way, but I collect Tamagotchis and their (many, many) knockoffs and competitors from the 90s. I'm especially interested in the Japan-only releases. It's like extremely niche video game collecting. I'll try to take pics. Is this a manifestation of a pathological need to care for things? yes. next question I also have a few Furbies but they take so much more space that I'm much pickier about what I pick up. Here's a family pic of my poorly-lit Furby Knockoffs shelf though:  Purby in the box back there is infamous for not even having a proper ROM loaded, it just runs its motor in a straight cycle and plays one sound on repeat until it breaks (which is usually soon after turning it on, i think mine lasted about 15 seconds). Someone deconstructed it and there was just... basically no circuitboard on it aliexpress thread goons will recognize Ферби on the right Killingyouguy! fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Nov 14, 2021 |

I briefly got into LCD game collecting but got bored quickly and cleared most of it out. I bring this up because I had a couple of other digital pets in it, one was the gigapet Giga Farm thingy. I did keep my old Tamagotchi angel from childhood, as well my Milton Bradley board game themed ones, plus the more recent additions of Dungeons and Dragons and a possibly official Tetris one. What I really want to get is one of the old Pocket Pikachu units, I had so much fun with my friend's back in the day. I'm sure you had many thoughts when it came to the Tamagotchi rereleases they did a couple of years back, Killingyouguy!

What I really want to get is one of the old Pocket Pikachu units, I had so much fun with my friend's back in the day. Oh hell yeah the Angels are delightful and ohhhh my god Bandai kind of hosed up their own anniversary? For the 20th anniversary of the Tamagotchi they rereleased not the originals but the Tamagotchi Mini, a release from fuckin 2005, with packaging that looks similar to the original release's card backing. This version lacks a teenager growth stage, has very limited gameplay, and is also basically impossible to kill - the original run was geared more towards the crowd who put a million charms on their cell phone. And then in 2018, the uh, 21st anniversary of the Tamagotchi I guess, they finally actually re-released the G1 and G2 versions, and with some really nice shell patterns, but with one particular change - feeding it more than 3 snacks is a death sentence. Games and snacks are both ways of raising the happiness meter; snacks were always considered worse care by the game but there wasn't a hard cutoff like that. I think Bandai knew most peoples nostalgic memories were of killing their Tamagotchi and made it way easier to do so. This change makes raising all the way to adult a serious pain because you're forced to play the randomized guessing game every time the happiness drops, which is a distraction from my job that i have as an adult to fund my tamagotchi habit. Also somehow they sourced the worlds scratchiest speakers for a toy that only needs to make like 3 different pitches of beeping But the new shells are really pretty. like look Killingyouguy! fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Nov 14, 2021 |
