What's in the mail?

I get Oriental Trading Company and a few other catalogs, but that’s not a recent thing.

RIP these items the post office returned the same day they arrived. I was really anticipating this one.






Not pictured the other package they returned in the same fashion from Ukraine that has everdrives in it.

This came while I was home on my lunch break. Didn’t have a chance to look to close at it or try it in my Dreamcast. Unfortunately, the last time I fired up my system the disc drive didn’t seem to work. I guess I’ll find out tonight when I get home.

I put all my eggs in one basket. Nothing else that has happened this week has me as bummed as this package getting returned. Will pay the $60 to have it shipped again. Maybe to a better P.O.

I was brief above but it’s really bumming me. Was really looking forward to the new hat, really want case for my gameboy pocket already, and the vans are legendary. also first game boy micro case. Le sigh

Also the gameboy color case is a birthday gift for my partner.

It’s time for a GDEMU. One of the easiest mods I can think of. :slight_smile:

I am waiting for a 14” Trinitron similar to the one which used to be my TV when I was a teenager. A great little TV, will post a photo when it arrives tomorrow (hopefully).

That will be what’s happening unless the Dreamcast was just having a bad day last time. Probably for the best as I don’t have many games on disc.

I ordered this after I started reading @StuartGipp’s book and seeing that the very first section was about Amiga games and feeling like I couldn’t read any further until I had experienced a few. None of the ones mentioned are on this thing! I’m still having fun with it though.

What’s on the other end of that controller? Is it USB or a proper amiga connector? I ask because getting a controller for a CD32 is essentially impossible without spending one hundred and twenty american dollars, and if this is backward compatible it’d be worth getting that just for the controller.

[edit: looks like USB dagnabbit]

Yep its USB. Sorry if I got your hopes up, friend.

Im still sad. It’s been on my mind every day. I hope I’m not experiencing USPS mail fraud like I did in 2020. I should learn my lesson, if it’s too valuable to loose, I should always choose better insured shipping… the tracking hasn’t updated, maybe it never will. The packages have been lost. I contacted customer service to make a case. But my case in 2020 never had any resolution. Maybe this will be different since it’s a merchant.

It really sucks froggy. <3 Why did the PO return your package anyway?

I hope it gets sorted. I had a recent hiccup with a package of comics I was trying to ship via USPS to myself in Chicago.

They went from LA to Chicago before going to OK for a bit. They hung out there for a week or so before finally going to Chicago a few days after I’d left.

The box was beat up a bit, but I eventually got it.

That’s the thing I am getting no answers just that I’m screwed. If they show up it will be a miracle. There’s no tracking updates besides forboding ones that say it’s going to be returned to sender the same day it arrived.

The post office supervisor calls me “Sleeper” cause I fell asleep waiting for an answer.



tracking info means nothing, they can just put whatever they want I guess.

Now I have surrendered to a meme and Quest 64 is on its way to my home.

Please don’t ask me if I’m planning to play it.

Edit: it’s here

A few recent pickups from a seller in Japan (Rhythm Tengoku, Brave Fencer Musashi) and a couple of filled preorders (Sable, the lemon shark). This is my first PS5 game!

It’s a lemon shark from AfternoonFika, a Swedish artist that makes a variety of things–pins, plush, stickers and the like. Still debating on whether to keep the “official” name (Linus) or find something that matches with the other two (BLÅHAJ and SMÅHAJ respectively).
