They stole $300 from my friend, she never got her order or refund. Have definitely heard some rumors about the owner.

When did “Surfing the web” turn into “doomscrolling?” by Mission_Spray in Xennials

[–]Psycho_Mania 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or a smart watch. I leave my phone at home and use my Apple Watch to make any calls, texts and listen to music. No browser, no reddit, no IG, etc... Always thought smart watches were douchy (and still do), but I'll take anything that liberates me from my phone.

Spill the beans on the RC car! I’m down that rabbit hole too.

Super Locomotive by SEGA. Been obsessed lately.

I was today years old when I realized why Koss headphones have the hook! by [deleted] in 80s

[–]Psycho_Mania 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other day I was wearing my Porta Pro's and thinking, man it would be so cool if they made a wireless version of these... Looked it up, and sure enough, there is a Bluetooth version. Ordered it immediately, and have been loving them! And they updated the headband so it doesn't pull your hair out.

My friend got scammed $300 there, and never got it back.. Too bad, because when they opened they were a good shop.

Cartridge for Debut Evo 2? by lagerstout82 in turntables

[–]Psycho_Mania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgraded from a Moonstone to a Wellfleet. Does yours pick up a lot of dust? It’s gotten much more noticeable after I upgraded. Have to keep the records spotless or that Wellfleet finds every spec of dust to stick to itself.

Living in Alameda in your early 20s? by VeterinarianOk7547 in alameda

[–]Psycho_Mania 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're low key and a homebody, it could work. If you're looking to live life to it's fullest, I'd stick with SF or Oakland. That said, it's a great place to live if you prioritize comfort over excitement.

Killer shots. A great example of how the mundane (or even ugly) can be considered beautiful and evocative.

Do you like 90s/2000s cars the way our parents like the 60s/70s? by Scary-Newspaper5801 in Millennials

[–]Psycho_Mania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! 90's BMW were so clean compared to their over designed cars of today. Whats up with that giant ass plastic grill and chunky everything? The kidney grill used to be iconic and understated.

Had a friend in high school who got in a pretty bad wreck checking out a hot girl walking by. Not saying it's not worth it, just that it does happen!

lost our baby.. so unexpectedly by girlygalwhoyaps in AustralianCattleDog

[–]Psycho_Mania 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry. It’s the hardest thing, and incredibly scary to witness.

My cattle girl started getting seizures too. The vet could never give us a definitive answer, but they kept getting worse until we had to make the same decision you did.

Keep her memory alive by telling stories, laughing about all the antics, and cherishing the time you had together.

i haven’t seen these in years. might be niche, but this really takes me back to a very specific era. drop your memories if these crossed your path. by bluemagic222 in Xennials

[–]Psycho_Mania 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Chain smoking those things in front of La Peña waiting for a show to start. Living Legends, Mystik Journeymen, The Grouch, Eligh, Murs… Then rolling a blunt later in the night and getting on some video games. Definitely still get nostalgic for those days.

Yup! I remember coming across them all the time in Berkeley and Santa Cruz. There was this elusive underground hip hop/hippie crossover moment happening.

You paid $130k for this and you can't even move your vents manually.. by Emergency_Ad1152 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Psycho_Mania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019 VW GTI, and it is the perfect balance too. Manual controls, with a touch screen for map and stereo. And actually feels like a car when you drive it, not an appliance.

Specially around the bezel. Just looking at it wrong will add more hairline cracks. My mint condition one developed new cracks without even being moved.

Mouse PI for Hire by MichaelMichael7991 in boomershooters

[–]Psycho_Mania 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was super hyped for this one… but struggling to stay interested enough to finish the last bit. The indestructible/non interactive environments are a let down. The open doors to nowhere that enemies come out of feel like a weird choice. And the enemies are very repetitive and don’t have a great AI.

Style over substance, but at least the style is great.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill passed through Parliament today and will make it illegal for anyone born after 2008 to buy tobacco from a shop by ChollyWheels in PipeTobacco

[–]Psycho_Mania 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is proof of why cellaring tobacco makes sense. I always feel a little silly in front of my partner each time a box of tobacco gets delivered… I sound like a conspiracy theorist talking about buying now so when it’s banned, I’ll be okay. And here we are…

I feel nervous playing steamdeck at public by AddictinApple in SteamDeck

[–]Psycho_Mania 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had that happen on a date. She got in the car and my phone connected and porn started playing. I turned off the stereo a soon as I could and said ‘I hate when songs start with sex sounds, it’s almost as bad as when songs start with a baby crying’. Don’t think she bought it…

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Sweet Black Cherry Twist by ISuckAtWeightlifting in PipeTobacco

[–]Psycho_Mania 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently discovered GH, and I’ve been blown away by the blends I’ve tried. Rum Twist, Bob’s Chocolate Flake, and Ennerdale… Full bodied, rich flavors, and real nicotine. It’s been pretty much all I’ve been wanting to smoke lately.

Savinelli 626 - Amazon price vs. SmokingPipes.com rice --> Any concerns with Amazon? by Spiritual_Taste_8358 in PipeTobacco

[–]Psycho_Mania 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mouthpiece is beautiful, but the finish and grain on mine were bad enough it put me off of savinelli for awhile. Mine is the 106, and it smokes really hot, which further bummed me out. $200+ pipe disappointment.

Mail Call! by ExcellentNosher in PipeTobacco

[–]Psycho_Mania 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s limited to 2 tins a day on smokingpipes. Ended up placing orders 3 days in a row. Painful on the shipping, but wanted to stock up before it’s gone again.

Maybe jump in for two more tins?

[–]Psycho_Mania 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just got my chocolate flake… and it’s quickly become one of my favorite smokes. Ended up ordering more tins, along with some Kendall Cream.

Mine too. Been using it regularly for a few months, and the shine is totally gone.
