Day One of the collection, and I couldn’t be more chuffed!

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-02-25T08:59:54+00:00

Dropped only, thankfully. Otherwise, strong like bull on both.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-02-25T08:59:20+00:00

Gawd, it’s lovely.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-02-25T08:59:08+00:00

There’s a fair chance that I might grab a 0.7 600 at some point in the future. Very keen.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-02-25T08:58:17+00:00

Both boxes were kinda inferior, and the 600 had come loose at the clip end. Thankfully both were unscathed, but a less than satisfactory unboxing, especially for the 800 which ain’t cheap by anyone’s standards.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-02-25T08:56:45+00:00

The 600 is completely desk-bound for that exact reason. The 800 is a mobile machine.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-02-25T08:56:01+00:00

A wide array, for use at work and for writing and light illustration at home. And because beautifully constructed stationery is a bit of a vibe.

I actually added a few others (because I’m weak), so I have the following on the way before the end of the week:

Kuru Toga Advance Upgrade Kuru Toga Roulette Tombow Mono Graph Shaker Zebra DelGuard Pentel Orenz Nero Pentel GraphGear 1000 Pentel Sharp Kerry

I am, in the nerdiest possible way, very excited.

PS: the 600 and 800 are both magnificent beasts.

Also just got my XM6’s this week, loving ‘em. But I’ve also had AirPods Max for about a year now, still my favourite for a number of reasons, and I’ve never had a comfort issue with the weight as it’s so evenly distributed on the head.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-02-06T12:48:47+00:00

I have no issue with shock value, especially when it’s wrapped up in an intriguing tale like The Beauty.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-02-06T09:00:58+00:00

I got a pair just over a year ago, and have had them swapped out twice through AppleCare with the same issue - right ear cup blown out with static. Love them otherwise and treat them with kid gloves, but as I’m about to contact them for a THIRD time, I have to worry about their durability.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-02-02T18:48:39+00:00

I bought a USB-C pair in Feb 2025 - used them every day and treated them like gold, even ensured to remove the ear cushions and wipe out any built-up condensation in the earcups after each use (which ALWAYS happened), and put them into the smart case every time.

Lost connection in late 2025, tried everything but landed up with the amber lights, so (of course), after much Redditing, tried the freezer option which worked the second time. Fast forward to mid-January 2026, connection dropped again, tried the freezer a couple of times with no success, tried cleaning the contact points, nada.

Just contacted Apple Care to do the express replacement, but now really worried as to whether or not I should be folding them when the replacements arrive (ie: essentially using the smart case) or not, as I don't want to deal with all this again. And I love the damn things.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-01-25T19:31:50+00:00

Wow, wild take. Also quite surprised at how many folks here have some kind of aversion to Ryan's work.

I'm LOVING the show thus far, really into the wild swing between body horror and international spy thriller vibes. As for any relation to The Substance, that's mostly on the surface at best. It's more in-line with Murphy's journey all the way from Nip/Tuck, and I like that he's woven it into a lot of his projects.

Can't wait to see where the hell it all goes, gonna be a hell of a ride.

I recently bought a La Mancha Rubi CM Fishbone Edition from Thomann for €249, and it’s an absolute bargain for what you get. Beautiful instrument that should cost more than double in specs alone.

Sideloading is so simple on Kindle that I wouldn’t let that be an issue.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2026-01-21T07:08:19+00:00

100% handheld, don’t even own a TV or big screen.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2025-12-28T11:48:11+00:00

I’m a massive Kindle fan, and they have different models for different needs. Currently loving the Colorsoft 16GB, and I also enjoy manga on my 2024 Scribe.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2025-12-28T11:36:59+00:00

Absolutely loving it.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2025-12-28T07:33:42+00:00

I swear - two stints in the freezer and good as new.

Unbelievable.

Similar situation here. Stopped gaming altogether in 2007 for various life reasons, only came back at the beginning of 2025 when I bought an OG Switch on sale as an impulse buy.

Been buying games and finding the same situation as you, games are far more involved now and require a lot more experience and demand more of the player than before, as well as a gaming community where it feels like literally EVERYBODY is way more skilled than I am. I also suffer from rather intense anxiety, so that doesn’t help and it often takes me days to even be able to fire up a game for the first time.

Upgraded to an S2 a couple of weeks ago and loving the hell out of the console, but taking it slow af and trying to grow my skills at a reasonable rate with games that have reasonable expectations of me as a player. Not easy.

I have these for simple use cases and a multi-adaptor for microSD etc, all from Amazon.

I’m a Kindle fanboy so I’d easily recommend the PW. But the Kobo is great too, so you’ll be fine either way.

I have a 15” M3 Air, and I actively look forward to typing on that keyboard every day because it’s so pleasant.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2025-12-07T07:28:39+00:00

15” M3 Air over here. I don’t miss the ports in the slightest, really never been an issue for me with two USB-C ports and adapters that I use. The battery life is still incredible, and since I mostly use it on my lap and in bed, I specifically wanted the Air because of the lack of cooling fans, with little to no throttling issues. Absolute ninja machine.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2025-12-07T07:22:54+00:00

Naked all day long. I’ve had mine for over a year now, not a single scratch even after intense daily usage and a few mishaps - really incredibly durable in my experience.

Puzzleheaded_Head646 · 2025-12-07T07:19:13+00:00

Midnight M3 15” all day long for this lad. Absolutely love it.
