What's in the mail?

@“Chopemon”#p99582 I was really intrigued by this game when it launched, didn't play it, and then forgot all about it! Looking forward to hearing your take on it.

Upgraded my kobo with some pieces of flair I just received in the mail—the sender (thanks DJ “ @antillese “ Tent Mode!) wanted to know where they ended up, so here ya go!

I had some good times arrive today.

Criterion don’t ship directly here, so I had to get a friend in the US to buy it then post it over to me. Bought this in November, and it only just arrived.

It sat in customs since about December 3 or so, not sure why.

@“exodus”#p99845 Sure as heck is. The UHD was only a couple of quid more than the standard blu ray too. I have a regular movie night with some buddies and they are going to love it.

@“LeFish”#p99851 yesssssssss

Just got something really cool from @“antillese”#59

I had an arcade stick and sanwa parts on a shopping cart cause I was planning to buy an arcade stick as a self Christmas present, but antillese happened to post his, and I jumped on it. Thank you so much! My little tate setup got way fancier. I primarily wanted an arcade stick to play shooters and tetris the grand masters but I guess It's now my obligation to how learn to play at least one fighting game (probably guilty gear).

I plan to take advantage of the fact I have access to high quality printers cause my brother runs a small book/zine press and print some custom art for it.

Oh and little eva sticker friends were included!

>!

@“Syzygy”#p99879 I downloaded the PSD template even before the stick arrived. But good to know there are a lot of tutorials for this specific stick!

And so you all don’t think I’m some kinda scrub, it was already upgraded with Sanwa parts. :innocent:

My friends give very cool gifts

These showed up at my house, addressed to me. I didn‘t order them, and I don’t know what they are.[upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/BexxdkD.jpeg]


@“deepspacefine”#p100345 Can anyone help identify this?!

@“deepspacefine”#p100345 that's a fun mystery! show the rest of it!

Have you ordered anything from eBay or Aliexpress recently? Especially at a suspiciously good price? There is some grift where you order something and get junk instead. Not sure exactly what the play is but when it had happened to me I just complain and get a refund.

@“Kez”#p100362 that‘s very curious! what would the goal be, I wonder!? that’d be a very physical location-oriented scam.

Looks like some kind of electrical relay or something… I can kind of make out a company named “PSP” on the label and that cylindrical thing might be a transformer–any chance you ordered a “PSP AC adapter” sight unseen and got this instead? XD

Here's the other angles and a close up.

Upon further inspection, I found a receipt in the bottom of the box that explains it. I was correct that I did not order this.

Solution: >!It's a replacement for the crank in my broken dishwasher. I knew the repair guy was going to come back, but I didn't expect him to order it to my house in my name and honestly hadn't even considered this option!<

Eyyy my Sega Rally collection is growing

(Some people mentioned an interest in this car in particular before so just fyi: https://btdiecast.com/product/mini-gt-mgt00422/ )

@“deepspacefine”#p100377 though this is much less mysterious than anticipated it WAS a mystery, and I appreciate it
