please update us on what model of washing machine you buy (i'm serious).

mine crapped out a while ago and i got a samsung. much quieter and plays cool little tunes (also my cat loves it). but i've seen people say they suck. i also have a samsung heat pump dryer. no problems with that either. my washing machine has wifi/bluetooth but i can't get it working 🤷‍♂️

You did good, got 1 and love it.

Make sure to get the latest firmware, as old ones could brick the micro SD.

First thing I did was updated the firmware! Pretty simple process. I've had my Saturn since like 1997 and hardly ever used it as I only had a handful of games so it is basically in mint condition. Now I just need to get something better cables to run through my Retrotink 2x Pro. I still need to research the best option there. But yeah what an amazing little device.

The 7800+ is a solid retro system that can be hooked up to a modern TV. I had a 2600+ already, but it felt weird playing 7800 games on a 2600. Now life is back to normal, playing 7800 games on a 7800 and having 2600 backwards compatibility.

The new wireless CX78 joypads work great and it's nice not having to deal with wires.

The new games are solid, but the previous 7800 re-releases of Food Fight, Ninja Golf and Fatal Run are better games.

If you get one, also get a CX26 joystick, as many 2600 games were designed around that joystick and play better with it, instead of the joypads. The Atari 7800 Proline joystick is also nice to have, as some 7800 gamed play better with the 7800 joystick.

Thank you for the info. I am definitely going to look into getting one in the near future.

Did these live up to thehype? so sick of gaming headsets that are suppposed to sound good that sound like they are actually underwater

I am no audiophile by all means, but after some EQs, I would say this sound quality is way more detailed and intoxicating from my other headphones , the WH-1000XM5. And the last gaming headset I had was HyperX, so this is definitely a huge upgrade. Very happy with my purchase!

That is what I ended up doing.

speedqueen.com

TC5003WN - Speed Queen

speedqueen.com speedqueen.com

With Taxes and all it ended up costing me $1402.

Why because they are the best washer on the market. They rarely break and should last for the rest of my life. Most go for 20 to 30 years. And made in America.

I have a Samsung heatpump tumble drier, I would totally buy a matching washing machine if they sync'd up and did little concerts together.
Click to expand...
that would be cool.

they seem to have two different little tunes which pisses me off. they are similar but the drier tends to be shorter or not sing at all :(

i know the washing machine tune by heart and whistle along to it :D

That is strange, my drier does the same tune as the washing machine here.

It also does something that I find very reminiscent of The Legend Of Zelda. I think of the one in the video as the pirate/sailor song. I'm not sure what the conditions are for getting one or the other though.

I loved this as a kid. Basically a rip-off of Burger Time for the speccy, with a crap fast food restaurant tie-in

Bomb Jack on the speccy. Avatar checks out.

Was always a Commodore 64 slag but appreciate the speccy. Paperboy on the speccy was amazing compared to C64 version.

I was always a speccy lad and obviously 'hated' the C64 :-)
..of course I later realised my mistake and love the C64 too now.

Laser hair removal treatment, for now chest+abs, will probably do the whole body in the next 2-3 years. Much more hygienic + less sweating in the summer.
 
Always wanted it for display purposes only, either you pay the $500 scalper prices or you find it for half off at redwolf, shipping was up the ass but still better than paying $500+ for it on ebay. If Peter Weller is near PA or NY again Ill have it signed by him along with my laser disc. Met him back in 2023. I love Robocop man, even the game with all the addons from nexusmods, its like you're in the movie. I don't think there's a better design for a handgun than the one from Robocop, the coffin barrel and length looks badass.

X870/9800X3D set up all ready to go, Just waiting on obtaining a 5080, I have opted for a Alienware 4k OLED Monitor, Desk and Chair coming in the next few weeks, Safe to say I'm back in the PC master race crowd....

The case is a Montech King 95 "Gearseekers edition" it looks phenomenal, all fans included with a 10 fan rgb hub, super easy cable management I'm using braided extensions and they were easy to fold up and tie down, Highly recommended case.

I'm joking, that looks a nice build man, wouldn't mind that case at all either. Mines getting a bit old hat..

Fake edit,
Just looked up that case on Amazon, yeah that is a very nice case, I do actually need that, dont think ive seen a proper glass panel one before :unsure:

I think that'll be my next purchase.
 
Just imported this bad boy Huawei watch GT4 tons of sports modes and health tracking 14 day battery life 10 days with heavy usage. Suck it down 2-3 day battery smartwatches and the best part is I don't look like a goddamn spykid wearing a toy.

Tbh the purple colour is really dark and looks great the pics make it look pink almost... I prefer white though.

Here's a nice look at a build and the case from Matt Lee:



And from Gearseekers themselves:



I got it from Scan for £130 which is just stupid value for what you get from other case manufacturers, Anyone who needs a case with fans and controller/hub this is it.
