  • My spouse and I both have mid century 5 drawer tanker desks. I’m sitting at it to type this.

    Attached to my monitor stand is the modified remains of an 80’s gravity lamp. The base broke but the springs are good and it makes a great spotlight.

    Our server and tv are built into the remains of an early 80’s Zenith console TV. The screen was dead so we cut out space behind the decorative front pannel for a 32in flat screen and cut down the tower to work as scaffolding for the computer parts. Tossed a sound bar in and now it booms like a theater. You don’t even notice the 2in of screen that’s losts on the ends.

    Our stove is a Montgomery Ward from the late 70s. It’s an absolute marvel to use. The clock is broken so I’m planning to dismantle that area to put controls for a vent fan I want to install in the attached shelf.

    Our fridge is modern but the second I find myself a '64 GE Americana I’m gutting it to modetnize that masterpiece. Unless I find the tools for metal fab first…

    My Samsung microwave is from the mid 70’s. It doesn’t have a turn table but it heats food better than any modern box and has a fraction of the radio leak that my Walmart one had.








  • I put my pc together back in 2019 with the plan to upgrade individual parts over the next 5 years. Time rolls around to get a graphics card and they skyrocket. Time rolls around to extend the ram and they skyrocket. I’m so fucking pissed that this extremely reasonable and well thought out plan that I managed to make, one of very few that I managed to make before getting medicated, has been upended by forces that are both far beyond my control and also stupid.










  • More than one teacher in high school told me I should appreciate my time there because I’ll spend the rest of my life missing my time there. I told them if this is what I’ll be pining for in the future then I don’t see any reason to last that long.

    Now in my 30s, I check every day against what my life was at that time. My life has only ever gotten better. Even on the verge of a fascist hell



  • Can it be the exact play through? My family and I are playing through the Pokémon series from 1-7 on hacked ds’. We’re doing a sort of meta thing there we can carry Pokemon we beat the game with between games, we just have to reset their level each time. We can also pick any Pokemon as a starter, and if we bring 10 Pokemon of the type we like and 10 with move we want, we can cheat a move.

    I just made my childhood proud by finally beating Pokemon blue with ghastly/haunter/gengar as my starter. She got to learn payday along the way.
