drahkon Posted March 25 Posted March 25 (edited) Today's purchases and travel plans for the last week of April I made: Train tickets to Hamburg - will spend a night at a friend's place plane tickets for a flight from Hamburg to Belgrade - will go from Belgrade to Novi Sad (there will be an event of the student organisation I'm a part of) Air BnB in Novi Sad for 5 nights - after that I'll spend a night at someone's place between Novi Sad and Belgrade (a friend has a connection) plane ticket for a flight from Belgrade to Hamburg - will spend a night at a friend's place train tickets back to Cologne (and then go back to my place) Pretty expensive and I might have to live a little thrifty in May (and June), but it's gonna be worth it Edited March 25 by drahkon 1
drahkon Posted May 5 Posted May 5 FUNgeon Crawler Humble Bundle I hate puns Very interested in giving Siralim Ultimate a go.
martinist Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Berserk Deluxe volumes 5 and 6. I'm way behind with collecting this. Mostly because they're stupid expensive for a book. 1
drahkon Posted May 28 Posted May 28 I spent the weekend in Heidelberg and had to buy their melon liqueur: Watermelon and cantaloupe flavour, two bottles each. Ice cold in summer...
martinist Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Money comes in. Money goes out. Just need two more volumes and i'm done. 1

I don't really have the space for manga at the moment with all my comic omnibus' taking up the room so I stopped buying them but I've got the first 3 Berserks, the first Hellsing and am still kind of tempted to grab Trigun just because I loved the anime so much.

Focusing on Berserk at the moment but the Trigun Deluxe edition looks really nice. Viz also announced a Vagabond Deluxe edition comming out early next year so i might wait for that. Other than Berserk, I don't havce any other deluxe editions. Hellsing is only three volumes though so i might look at that in the future.
Happenstance Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Selling my Macbook Air after the end of the grand Apple experiment and decided to go with the new Surface Pro 11 as it's replacement. Been using it all today and I'm really happy with it. It's my first Arm device but so far no real issues with software compatibility. Battery life seems to be great and I've still yet to hear the fans.
Ashley Posted June 21 Author Posted June 21 My old surface could do with being replaced but torn with what. From what I've seen recent Surface devices have had poor battery life.

This new one is on the new arm chips so gets a lot better battery life but you just have to go into it knowing that not all software will work brilliantly straight away. A lot of stuff either has arm versions already that work brilliantly or can be automatically run through the emulator and you barely notice but you do get the occasional software like Premiere Pro that is just locked out by Adobe until they release a proper arm version of it. It depends what you use your Surface for really. Mine is a bit of graphic design and art for work then a load of media consumption and web browsing. 90% of the software I use already had compatible versions.

Honestly at the moment aside from a browser I'm primarily using VS Code. I might use Affinity if I got a new machine as I'm currently just using photopea instead but that was because I was running out of space but managed to clear out 40GB last week so maybe I should give that a go. So not much, really.

drahkon Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Found a cheap key so I just had to buy it. I'm now 5€ over my Steam Summer Sale limit but that's ok
Happenstance Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Needed a new Echo for a bedside table for a while as the light sensor seemed to be going on my Dot so the clock would be barely visible at times. Amazon announced the new Echo Spot yesterday so just had that delivered and it seems really good. Liking the touch screen so I can turn lights on and off if I don't fancy speaking during the night.
drahkon Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Train trickets to and from Berlin at the end of July Never been to the city and I'm very much looking forward to it. I'll attend an event called "Pride and Preju-Disco" It'll incorporate the Pride Parade which will take place that Saturday. Can't wait

drahkon Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I've met someone at the beginning of this year and we've had lots and lots of talks about feminism. I realized most recently that there's way too much I don't know. So I looked up some essential reads and these two books came up a lot. 1
