i know opinions are a thing but here's mine. absolutely loved TLOU (one of my favourite games of all time) and begged for a sequel even though people were like "it doesn't need a sequel the ending is good end to joel + ellie's story!" and i'd be like "why would you not want more of something you liked?? that doesn't make sense". oh how i could go back and time and forget that this game existed. those people were right. it didn't need a sequel. it shits on everything the first game done. sure i can pretend it doesn't exist and take the first game for what it is but still it doesn't feel right. TLOU2 was just god damn awful and i regret ever being excited for it and paying money for it. one of the biggest gaming disappointments for me.

hope you enjoy it though. like i said...opinions are a thing and maybe you'll enjoy it. if you do then great

I thought TloU2 was a league better than the first game but hey, opinions and all that. It was fantastic.

I picked up a Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker as I am tired of having sub-par rice.

Does it play a jingle when the rice is ready? We have two Zoji cookers and love them!

I love mine. Had it for 7 years and still works top notch. Anything Zojirushi really.

I recently bought this one too.
My electric pressure rice cooker died, so was considering whether to buy a proper rice cooker, or cook rice on demand with stove top pressure cooker, or use the instant pot that I have.
stove top pressure cooker made excellent sticky rice fast, but I just don't think I can cook rice like that every meal. Instant pot, made okay rice, but nothing to write home about.

After years of having "pressure cooked" rice, it was actually pretty refreshing to eat rice that's cooked with no pressure.
It certainly makes a better rice for fried rice and sushi type too. Pressure ones, while taste great, they come out too sticky.
Only down side is that it takes like an hour to cook... (the pressure ones can cook in 30 min or less these days) - but that convenient timer function with a bit of planning really helps me out.

Do they have a family sharing plan?

idk if theres anything particularly nice about this make/model but my Hamilton Beach has become a mainstay in my kitchen

Can't beat a solid rice cooker, especially with a steam basket

 

[Javthusiast]

I am sure they share a step sister or step mom here and there... oh wait you meant something else. No unfortunately no.

Last thing I bought was a Clock Tower 3 poster from eBay, which I saw a digital version of online, (pictured below) which inspired me to continue replaying it

 

[IDKFA]

Received a £25 Amazon voucher for Christmas and just bought this book. Andrew Roberts' Napoleon book was outstanding, so I have high hopes for this one.

Finally, a sale on docs. Got these pairs.

I only dress in military style. I used to do modelling and spent a fortune on clothing and I now follow Steve Jobs' old way of thinking with his Issey Miyake clothes. I have the same things in many colours and dressing up doesn't require much thinking. Docs, jeans or camo pants, t-shirt and bomber jacket.

lol'ed.

I like them but can't pull them off ... I'm a tall lanky dude so if I wear boots that chunky I look like sideshow bob.

wow, those beauties. What did you name them?

I always wanted one of those but my parents would never allow it, and now my wife wont either xD

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Good shit btw. Smells good, tastes good, and looks good. Highly recommended.

Can't post any pictures at a risk of getting banned, but just got some new sex toys from Anne Summers for me and the wife.

Picked up a new vibrator, a vibrating cock ring and a new butt plug.

Neuro fuzzy is exactly the first name that comes to mind if i had to name a rice-cooker, well done Zojirushi.

Merid

Merida eOne-Sixty 700. Considered 'budget' in the mountain bike world....but a hell of a lot of money in my books for a bike. New to downhill mountain biking and at 38 and a longer term smoker (now vaper) that could stand to lose 20kg, my first ride really took it out of me. DId some basic riding for my first day out with some trails in there and a managed to cover 26km......I've never ridden that sort of distance in my life. Guaranteed this will be getting me fit, even half way through my quads were so gone I could barely stand and any coming down, even off a gutter had me flopping back down into the seat from a standing position because I didn't have the energy or power left in my to take the downward force.

I'll get there.

But one thing I've had to add was some mountain biking non-rip pants with inseam to save my ass (feel like I've gone 10 rounds with a bad dragon oversized special after that first ride) and a full face helmet which I have both on order. Man, what a machine though, super stoked with this purchase and really looking forward to hitting some serious trails and downhills when I build up the fitness.

I bought one of those last year, and it just wasn't flexible enough to fit even half of the cards into it that they advertised. I gave it time to adjust, as they asked, and it didn't help. They replaced it for free, but the replacement was the same. Shame because the idea is cool - hope yours is fine.

So I went with one of these instead - even though it has very few slots for cards, it actually holds more cards safely than the Ridge did, and the outside pocket is super convenient for when someplace doesn't support contactless payments and I need to use a physical card old school style:

I use one of these, super minimal but it works for my needs. They make great leather products, mine is holding up amazingly after many many years and has developed a great patina

Backside

Has a slot you can slide cash into in the middle

4 cards and cash is all I need

 

[AJUMP23]

bought a chicken coop because I lost my mind and the wife and kids want 3 chickens.

 

[Fools idol]

picked up the newly released limited edition IWC big pilot's big date spitfire in bronze. Looks great in person in these beautiful coloursway. Wanted one of these for a while but never quite found the right colour combo - probs not for everyone but I love it. Should be delivered to my house in the next couple days

Just impulse bought Battlefield 2042 and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Startet with Battlefield, and man, I need a CPU. That game's performance is really underwhelming on my i7 6700k @4.6. Even with my RTX 3080.

Looking forward to checking out Guardians in the morning.

Picked up a Surface Duo to use for emulation, as an e-reader, and just to play with. It works great for emulation of older systems, I love the large 4:3 screens. It also works great for games that ran in portrait as they can span across both screens.

No detaching, the bottom picture I folded the screen behind because it only uses the one screen. It plays everything up to Dreamcast fine, haven’t tried PS2 with AetherSX2 yet but it should work with some games. Pretty much every system that was 4:3.

It works great for DS emulation, it’s like having a giant DS.

My wife named them Barb and Star lol. They have a nice new setup now. That's really the cost prohibitive part of Tortoise keeping. Many think they cheap to care for my yessh, I spent almost $900 on just their temp enclosure, food, lights, etc. I also ordered a huge PVC enclosure for them that will be nearly 9 feet long that will be completed in a few months, and it was almost $1200. Reptile keeping is a very expensive hobby.
