Further progress on getting my living room / couch PC gaming space set up. PC is now here and doing wonderfully; media cabinet for the PC and a new TV is on order and still a few months out; and the final stage in my plan is a new sofa.

When I bought my house last year, the sellers kindly left me their old sofa which is functionally fine but nonetheless is a pretty grotty old leather sofa that is showing its age (and god only knows that kinds of action it has seen from the previous owners: shudder!). So placed an order today for a custom-sized U-shaped couch that will fit perfectly in my space, should be ready in 6-8 weeks.

In the style of this one, but in a dark grey fabric and with corners at both ends:

And this is what the whole floorplan will look like when I’m done:

I’m really liking the stairs that lead to saddams hiding place.

:joy: Great spot!

…one hasty bit of MS Paint editing later and nobody’s any the wiser! :grin:

I bought this toy car for my daughter.

And realized that this is the 30 years old toy model from my GI Joe toy collection.

Here is the GI Joe VAMP vehicle, which was my first Joe vehicle maybe my parents gifted me on 1994 or 95.

GI JOE Attack Vehicle Vamp (1995):

Giggles Army Jeep (2025):

Maybe the toy mould is still active.

I think it’s cool that you gave an army jeep to a girl, instead of the standard pink stuff :slight_smile: however, a military vehicle called Giggles is disturbing :smile: it sounds like a toymaker the Joker would own

Is it good? Or is it another Mafia 3?

It’s more of a tightly paced linear story game. The worst part about it is the ending feels rushed and could have used an additional hour.

Velvet track suits. I have been watching too much Guy Ritchie stuff maybe, or perhaps it was that Jeff Goldblum show where he plays Zeus? They better be as comfy as they look cause I got 4 colours of one kind (above) and in a different style I got a dark red.

I thought it was alright. I see where you’re coming from, though.

A few new oldies for my collection :grin:

Ah yes, the prequel to Adam Kovic’s “Like Skyrim with guns” quote for Far Cry 3 :laughing:

I bought Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for my wife. She is travelling alone to Italy for a conference next week. And this phone will catch some memorial landmarks there.

Best part is the S Pen which is really one of a kind smooth as a real pen and the offline inbuilt Translation. I have set the Rome Time and Translation setup.

And thankfully put a screen-guard as an insurance since you can see she already cracked this screen guard in a week :zany_face:. She choose this flowery phone back cover :cherry_blossom: (I would have put custom Hitman Cover, if it was my phone :zany_face: )

After using it, I can say this phone is a masterpiece :trophy: even better than S 25’s design/s pen or a phone running on a different os.

Wandering hour watch. The design has been around in clocks since the late 1700s, but had disappeared somewhere before 1900. Then in 1991 Audemars Piguet rediscovered it and made it small enough for a watch. They still make it and there are about 5 other companies that make one or many variations of it. Yacob doesn’t have 60k to drop on a watch right now, so the Xeric will work just fine (actually I like this one better as you read the time left to right which feels natural compared to a lot of wandering hour faces where you read bottom to top or top to bottom).

Sweet setup, very clean. Must been a pain to get all those displate posters to aligned.
