Got some new micro-USB to type-A cords because all of mine were either too short or broken

SudoSaibot · March 16, 2018, 4:11am

Got a new fork for my bike.

TheDiddilyHorror · March 26, 2018, 10:27am

Last post was 10 days ago, huh?

Got a bunch more manga (I’m up to Vol.17 of Assassination Classroom now).

Also Ep.16-30 of the audio drama series The Three Investigators.

Pair of book ends.
Generic Overwatch Butts deskmat (was on sale for 10€) for when I need to wash the simple black one.
Uhm…I think that’s it.

I got myself some boots and shoes since the asics I had were over a year old and had a hole, and my only other boots are biker boots.

TheDiddilyHorror · March 26, 2018, 1:35pm

Doing taxes requires that kind of footwear?

ThatBootsGuy · March 26, 2018, 1:45pm

Nah taxes don’t, but winter does require boots when there’s a steady 2.5ft of snow on the ground for 5 months.

TheDiddilyHorror · March 26, 2018, 1:46pm

No heat? No nasty sun?

ThatBootsGuy · March 26, 2018, 1:50pm

Nah, just a shit ton of snow. I’m in WNY after all…

TheDiddilyHorror · March 26, 2018, 1:51pm

Hey, handsome. Need a roomie?

ThatBootsGuy · March 27, 2018, 7:12pm

Picked up one of these:

I no longer need to get out of bed to shut the computer down before falling asleep

I’m no longer this guy:

I have one of those the only bad thing I have to say about them is the track pad can be a wonky at times.

KemoKa · March 28, 2018, 9:50pm

I have one. Shelved it pretty quick. After years of typing on Model Ms, Cherry MX blues and Lenovo keyboards, the keys feel really mushy.

TheDiddilyHorror · March 29, 2018, 12:27pm

Yes, a wood box. Only one cause the reviews on Amazon were meh (half praised them, half said they’re garbage). But I want to use them sideways as bookshelves next and on top of each other for my mangas (I’m running out of space and actual bookshelves cost a fortune for some reason and 90% of them don’t fit in my room).

Main_Main · March 29, 2018, 12:56pm

Exactly how much Manga do you have?

Dje4321 · March 29, 2018, 1:26pm

Enough that they run out of actual bookshelves

TheDiddilyHorror · March 29, 2018, 2:33pm

62 volumes + 8 novels related to anime
Then there’s 72 comic books too.
And the “real” books that are stowed away in cupboards.

Main_Main · March 29, 2018, 2:37pm

That’s fewer than I expected, I’m a little disappointed.

TheDiddilyHorror · March 29, 2018, 2:44pm

Most of the walls in my room are lined with cupboards, most of them for all my clothes. They weren’t planned with that amount of collecting in mind.

Main_Main · March 29, 2018, 2:52pm

Are you saying clothes are more important then storage space for manga

TheDiddilyHorror · March 29, 2018, 2:58pm

No, but instead of ~10 t-shirts I have probably 40. Cause my grandmother thinks quantity > quality.
But it wouldn’t really matter, as the actual display shelf space is limited. I have a 91 x 72 x 26cm area that’s actually free but I need to figure out what I can put there. It has only one shelf which bows even when only DVD cases are on it. The bottom is actually the top of a “chest” for stowing away bed sheets, pillows, etc during the day (nobody does that anymore. This whole cupboard thing is over 25 years old.
