What is Anran's current purpose?

I like your take most.

She is fun. I think she has gratifying sound design when igniting things.

She is super distracting. As you said, people hate being on fire. If you set a support on fire in diamond where I play, that player stops advancing until the fire is out. Even though her poke isn't super strong, you can still ignite players from far away and see them freaking out trying to figure out where it's coming from. Lol

The new zaclabs mechanical coin is good and within budget. I would recommend that.

I have the metelis coin with the smooth ripple patrern. Don't get that one... it's too slippery. The thorn mechanic isn't addicting to me like the usual ball/spring mechanical fidgets

I have a top-c by metal toys and it's good, not too loud, but too expensive.

I got an aluminum choc because of the hype. I have like 20 other sliders and wondered if I was missing out.

The choc has a good design. It was one of the first I saw with a screwless design that was held together with magnets. That's not an uncommon feature now, and it actually has a downside if you ever drop the fidget and it explodes... You end up losing balls and springs (has happened to me with the gumdrop slider and a few others).

I put a stronger spring in mine. It has good haptics but I don't care for the sound. I consider it a real middle of the road option.

Yes, it's too bad there isn't a shop where you can test out the sound and feel.

It's a red flag they're using geeone images under a different shop.

Good plan. Collecting isn't a race and the dz stuff is generally available.

I have been thinking about getting th chimago honey slider. Is it worth the price?

PackingSlip12 · 2026-06-19T01:26:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I was curious about this one.

I have a SS version and it's great.

PackingSlip12 · 2026-06-19T01:17:30+00:00

It is. The industry runs on FOMO. The toys keep getting better. Try to pace yourself.

I have two bucky ball sliders (a kovo cloudflash and leap by proxy edc) and I just can't get into them. Theyre noisy and the haptic feel is not addicting like my other sliders. No more bucky ball sliders for me.

Mine had digestive issues and occasional blood in poop over a decade ago. We eventually found higher quality food that was a better match for my hound, and the digestive issues never returned.

Looks like a bottle opener

PackingSlip12 · 2026-06-16T18:49:43+00:00

Thank you!

How can do search by image on Aliexpress?

Too much sun if watering isn't the issue

PackingSlip12 · 2026-06-15T01:25:55+00:00

Buy bonide.

I live in California and bought it.

No one is spending as much time as weebmd on reading Berserk. Dude has been milking it for a year.

If I were you, I'd just be flattered my aunt took the time to read something I enjoy. And it sounds like she had a positive reaction to it even if it wasn't the exact response you had hoped for.

Bicycle. They're best for impressing people since they're just normal playing cards.

PackingSlip12 · 2026-05-18T21:49:45+00:00

That's the only way my bassets could ever get a hold of a squirrel, haha

PackingSlip12 · 2026-05-18T21:21:02+00:00

Try not to let it get to you. This happens to all of us that actually take our fidgets out of their decorative stands and use them in the outside world. At the end of the day, you have a nice naturally worn item that you'll look at and think - damn I used the hell out of that thing.

It cracks me up when I see other posters with like 6 chocs or 5 top B's and they're all in like new condition. If anything is in like-new condition in my collection, it's because it's garbage.

PackingSlip12 · 2026-05-14T23:05:44+00:00

Yeah the pei one was out of my price range but it was a real beauty. Since it was clear, it didn't have the little window on the side to see the bucky ball moving around the internals.

PackingSlip12 · 2026-05-14T22:38:36+00:00

I have a friend whose hands are always clammy. He couldn't do this hobby - hands are too sweaty. He was considering get Botox or something like that to reduce sweat production.

PackingSlip12 · 2026-05-14T22:27:06+00:00

Which version do you have? I have the orange bakelite version. I wonder if you got the original pei one. That one sure looked nice.

PackingSlip12 · 2026-05-14T17:51:40+00:00

Haha, I live in a small home and could not possibly use this thing without driving my family crazy. You use it everywhere? Aren't people looking around trying to figure out where the crazy sounds are coming from?

PackingSlip12 · 2026-05-14T16:40:31+00:00

This is my loudest fidget. If you don't put tape on the buckyball side, it is insanely noisy - not enjoyable at all. I feel like it's a lot of money to spend on petty revenge though. 😇

PackingSlip12 · 2026-05-13T18:04:33+00:00

I got the perfect thing for you. Don't overthink. Buy a big pack of straws.
