Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) These d-pad and button caps from Skull&Co. for 8€. I mainly play in handheld mode so these might come in handy once they're on the Joy-Cons. The gripcase I have from the company is amazing so I'm pretty sure these caps will be great, too Will take up to 4 weeks to arrive, sadly Edited April 22, 2020 by drahkon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 2, 2020 Final bits for my PC (other than maybe a new webcam but that can wait until prices and stock go back to normal). I was originally just gonna use my new headset for a microphone but I do think that businesses are going to start to shift more towards video calls going forward after seeing how well it's been working for people during the lockdown so I'd like to have a better setup now. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol, that’s a very good point. The only thing I can think is that if you work with clients etc then you come across as more professional. I on the other hand should see a lot from it when I start my new YouTube channel where I rap the alphabet to kids. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 8, 2020 Finally pulled the trigger and spent £700+ on the parts required to build a (half) decent gaming PC. Everything should arrive over the next week, looking forward to seeing how ill-advised this was. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like expensive lego that can blow up or catch fire if you don't put it together right. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 9, 2020 Hahaha, I was refering to a 65" 4K Sony Bravia I bought when I first moved into this house. Was £1500, probably way less now though. Didn't explode or anything when I was mounting it on my wall either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being a big sci-fi fan I thought it was inexcusable that I've never seen 2001 so figured I should fix that. Plus I've never seen any of the Vengeance Trilogy despite hearing they're excellent.

I'm terrified of watching it with @Eenuh as I really don't know how she'll take to it. I probably should watch it again as it's been a while since I've last watched it.

Posted May 15, 2020 I would say the same as Flink, 2001 is absolutely one of my favourite films but it's an acquired taste. Given that you're a big sci fi fan I think you'll enjoy it regardless but it is worth knowing going in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
