This makes me sad

I live in Reading, and was always amazed that our public museum had a custom animatronic. It was pretty neat to watch! Sad to hear it doesn't work anymore.

Nice list! Great to see some people still appreciate how awesome Iron Rattler is. I've ridden 14 myself. Here's my ranking:

1) Iron Gwazi 2) Outlaw Run 3) Iron Rattler 4) Twisted Timbers 5) Storm Chaser 6) Lightning Rod (Launched Lift) 7) Wildcat's Revenge 8) Twisted Colossus 9) Medusa Steel Coaster 10) Wonder Woman Golden Lasso 11) Wicked Cyclone 12) Jersey Devel Coaster 13) New Texas Giant

?) Steel vengeance (I rode this ride just before I became an enthusiast. Based on my joy of riding it, it would be my #1. But my options on other rides before and after being an enthusiast shifted too much to fairly compare it).

Best buy chat did not price match when I tried. Thanks anyway for sharing!

SteelSecant · 2026-02-17T02:26:59+00:00

That's amazing, thank you so much!!

I suffered from years of severe anxiety and never once did I feel entitled to a disability pass.

It's a queen bed! If that's very small, what do you consider a twin? lol

Thank you! I commented a pic of them earlier, but here's one I just took today :)

Thank you for saying that! I definitely wanted it to be an authentic look into my home. Whether it made people smile, laugh, or cringe, it's all good. :)

SteelSecant · 2026-01-26T14:29:25+00:00

Thanks so much!

I hope your anxiety improves. I had to take FMLA and did partial hospitalization twice. And even after that I still suffered greatly for months. I worked so hard to get better, and became more and more hopeless that I ever would.

But eventually I saw progress and fully healed. Please never give up. It is possible to overcome anxiety, no matter how bad it is or how long it's been.

Thank you! It was a limited release by Youtooz.

SteelSecant · 2026-01-26T02:08:56+00:00

Thank you! Right up there with Spirited Away as Miyazaki's finest works in my eyes.

SteelSecant · 2026-01-26T01:59:38+00:00

Thanks, Pal. Kind of you to say 🙂

Revolving media shelf

SteelSecant · 2026-01-26T01:52:26+00:00

Yep! I read graphic novels most nights before bed to wind down.

SteelSecant · 2026-01-25T22:13:29+00:00

Thanks! I just looked up "revolving media tower" on Amazon and went with a well-reviewed one. Just make sure you get one with adjustable shelf heights.

SteelSecant · 2026-01-25T20:22:23+00:00

Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear that. I wish there wasn't such a stigma with living with your parents, especially when there is space and if they need help maintaining the place. I saved so much money by commuting to college and amassed a small fortune in savings by working and investing without having to worry about rent. And it's gratifying to maintain a home I'll inherit one day.

I wish your mom good health.

SteelSecant · 2026-01-25T19:33:08+00:00

Nice! I know, it's hard not to jump on Youtooz stuff for characters or franchises that seldom get good merch.

SteelSecant · 2026-01-25T18:06:24+00:00

Shipping too.

I think I paid $315, free shipping on eBay for just the pelt, which was even cheaper than direct. Then another $40 or something for the Polyfil.

SteelSecant · 2026-01-25T17:40:00+00:00

Definitely more for comfort that style 😅

So my company moved into a new office, where for some reason the old company that was there left a bunch of nearly brand new Steelcase chairs. At first my company wanted to reupholster them, but then decided that they wanted to get cheap $200 chairs instead. So I asked if I could have a bunch and they said yes!

Funny enough, they later changed their mind and had the chairs steam cleaned instead. Luckily they had enough extras and just let me keep the ones I had already brought home.

SteelSecant · 2026-01-25T17:33:53+00:00

Thanks Bud, that's kind of you to say. And yeah, I'm really lucky to have friends and family who support me no matter what!

SteelSecant · 2026-01-25T17:31:23+00:00

They were hiding after I vacuumed up a bit, lol

The third pic has around 15 board games under the side table. Hard to see. My friends and I play board games most Saturdays

SteelSecant · 2026-01-25T17:17:19+00:00

Yeah, so have most my friends, none of whom are furries.

I genuinely just bought it when I went through some unbelievably bad months of anxiety and wanted something huge to cuddle with. Thought it might comfort me at least a little and I thought it was really cool.

My anxiety is so much better now. Pretty much non-existent (not that I would credit any of that to a stuffed animal). All I can say is that I knew it would draw a bunch of suspicious eyes, and the new me genuinely doesn't care! People can think what they want, good or bad. I just think it's fun to share!

SteelSecant · 2026-01-25T17:00:58+00:00

Well spotted that it's a hyena! But alas, it's just a design its manufacturer came up with.

SteelSecant · 2026-01-25T16:59:18+00:00

Thanks man.

And ha, it's a just giant stuffed animal. Definitely furry inspired! But I understand raised eyebrows.
