These three items are arriving from the United Kingdom today. They are Summer Wars, More than a Married Couple, but not Lovers, and the third part of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.


I think @shadow359 will have to expand soon. He doesn’t need another room, more like a whole house :rofl: :house:

I still got some space. I am like that dog. Nothing to worry. :wink:

Unexpected purchased :sweat_smile:
RX-78 (G)E GUNDAM EX
MS-06F ZAKU II F TYPE SOLARI


No really something new. But a revisited project in the making,
I do use a Nano Pi Neo3 SBC together with an I2C ADC module as my dedicated audio server (recieves pipewire output via roc-sink, essentially streaming from my workstation to the device), that would be capable to recieve audio not only via network, but also digitizing my phone source to apply room correcting equalization for the phono source as well.

And as I really hate the cheapo 7 segment clock that I own which usually sits on top of that audio device, which only has an awful app to control it via smartphone interfaced via WLAN, I wanted to get rid of that clock, its shenanigans and simplify my setup. Therefore, I’ve purchased a dumb tme1652 7 segment display, a WeAct 0.8" digital tube module. And integrated it with the SBC to display the proper german time (i.e. time sync via NTP + 5 minutes in advance :slight_smile: )And essentially serving as a status indicator for the audio device at the same time. Without the need to ever bother with that awful smartphone app again.

Don’t ask me how long it took me to finally print a front plate for the enclosure of the device that serves double duty: concealing & diffusing the actual 7 segment display module at the same time. Mostly due to the reason that I’ve neglected my 3d printer for some months.

@dirn Once you’re done building them, could you please show them? Or will they stay in the box?

It would be really nice to see what they’ll look like when they’re finished.

It might take a while (months). I have another kit (RX-78-2 RG 2.0) yet to assemble.

I bought these 2 Netflix kits today because it’s hard to get and always out of stock.

Will share the pic to you once done :slightly_smiling_face:

Take your time and thank you very much. :slightly_smiling_face:

Bought Spigen Tough with MagFit for my Pixel 9a.

I’m using covers from Spigen only with my iPhone(s). Best!

New mouse :upside_down_face:

… is it? :sweat_smile:

looks sideways…upside-down…

I’ve been using it for two days, but my wrist is already saying “thank you!” :wink:

believe me.. you will never go back to non-vertical:

Damn you, @VlPo! You pushed me over the edge to go and buy one of these (I have been thinking buying one for sometime). :smile:

My wrist thanks me already, I’m definitely not going back to non-vertical. :hand_with_fingers_splayed: :computer_mouse:

Using a vertical mouse (I’ve tried 2, several years apart) actually makes my wrist hurt. It’s probably due to a specific work-related wrist injury that happened about 35 years ago which continues to cause problems for me. So no vertical mice (mouses?) for me.

Same thing with trackballs. So I’m stuck with a traditional, non-ergonomic mouse because it’s more ergonomic for me.

I tried trackball, but we didn’t make friends. But the “classic” mouse has already begun to cause pain in the joint by the evening… Everything is individual, nothing surprising :wink:

In the mid of updating my GPU fans with Noctua. So I ordered two double packs 92mm slim fans. That one extra fan I’ll probably install as exhaust fan for my case. But for that I need to get a dremel and modify the case a bit. That’s another story. :sweat_smile:

My friend printed the fan shroud and it turned out pretty great!

By default the PowerColor Reaper 9070 XT has quite loud fans. These Noctuas should be quieter at 100 % fan speed than the originals are at 50 % speed.

Still waiting for some thermal pads to arrive. I’ll be adding them between the metallic back panel and backside of the VRM. Should help cool the memory by a bit too.

This figure arrived today. It’s Yuki from the manga/anime You Are Ms. Servant.

Unfortunately, the figure is quite dark around the face, and I didn’t quite get the lighting right. I hope it’s still visible enough, though.
