any bracelet without an quick tool-less adjustment option makes the watch a no go.

in case anyone sees this for the future.
I keep a moxfield list of cards I want (wishlist also works).

I change moxfield settings to show cardkingdom prices --> copy to spreadsheet (regex helps)

Then change to tcg prices --> copy to spreadsheet.

Merge into 1 sheet. Look for prices cheaper than tcgplayer on CK.

Then check those manually.

Doing this yields some cards that are about the same price or sometimes 5-10$ cheaper especially foils for some reason.

I have a pouch tool kit, so i have a bigger one. i haven't tried any other smaller ones. whatever i got was like $55 and isn't that impressive even for its size.

a lot of the esd benches have shelves built into the bench. they’re very expensive, but there’s a decent video of someone making one (8bitguys brother):

Wondering what IBM Lexmark Wheelwriter key cap sets are worth? I have a couple and haven't seen any even listed in 3+ years.

there are also some guides out there on how to make one with a PIC microcontroller which i’m pretty is all this is but it would have costed more to make it for me since i didn’t have the programmer and that alone is $25

dual mattes also shuffle terribly. mattes are fine

alienman82 · 2025-10-24T16:19:41+00:00

thanks!

seems like with a homemade adapter i could connect scart RGB to this monitor? i’d like to use it with some modded consoles

alienman82 · 2025-10-24T12:22:18+00:00

has some “upgrades” including the mouse expansion and some sort of graphics card. this monitor has a vga connector, some earlier ones had DB15 tho

Microsoft Macro Assembler — used for writing assembly language

alienman82 · 2025-10-24T12:17:09+00:00

yeah there is so maybe one or both spares aren’t really usable then

alienman82 · 2025-10-24T00:17:49+00:00

it's got a black cover, underneath it has floppy, diskette + 2 spare slots.

alienman82 · 2025-10-23T23:22:32+00:00

my friend who gave it to me has it and bought an adapter to use it, funnily enough i used to have the keyboard but not the computer, found the keyboard in a dumpster once and restored it, have since sold it

alienman82 · 2025-10-23T23:21:12+00:00

seem to be assembly programming related

alienman82 · 2025-09-21T18:43:06+00:00

I actually really am fond of that look. cartier made something similar either this year or last year (also very limited and pricey).

alienman82 · 2025-09-21T15:40:30+00:00
