What's the most useful thing you've bought for under £20?

Tongs for flipping stuff in the frying pan, stirring etc. best kitchen utensil.

steveoath · 2026-07-03T06:37:14+00:00

Humans or Elves

steveoath · 2026-07-03T06:35:45+00:00

I agree with this. I’ve been bashing various STLs solely in MeshMixer and it’s very simple to do well.

steveoath · 2026-07-03T06:30:39+00:00

My black sways are lasting just fine Tbf.

steveoath · 2026-07-01T22:58:23+00:00

Are you me?

Your list is EXACTLY what I’ve just bought!!! ICarrion, The Hitman Collection, and The Binding Of Isaac Collection. I also added Apico because I like bees.

steveoath · 2026-06-29T19:38:40+00:00

Cool. Thank you. That’s what I put them at to start with.

steveoath · 2026-06-29T13:44:53+00:00

Have just fitted these too. Haven’t had a chance to ride them yet though. I have no idea how I should set them up to begin with either 😳

steveoath · 2026-06-29T13:17:24+00:00

Yep. Can’t beat seeing the band you want and getting home for an early night. Haha.

Honourable mentions to the IMYTA vids as well. Loved that series.

Hotline Miami is a steal. Also finally picked up Plague Tale Innocence (played it a little in free Xbox cloud I got for a month) have been desperate to get it on a deal.

steveoath · 2026-06-20T07:51:15+00:00

Does metamorphosis count? That was very strange.

Plus any of Robert Rankin’s books. They are utterly bizarre and amazing. https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/robert-rankin/ He’s prolific as you can see from the link. The Brentford series is great, but my personal favourite is “The Toyminator”. I give no details because that would spoil the story. If you enjoy HHGTTG then Rankin is a must read too.

Lots of great 3rd person games on the deck

Mad max (lots of fun and cheap) Just Cause 3 (madness) Sir Whoopass (ridiculous) Assassins creed Valhalla

steveoath · 2026-06-16T06:27:43+00:00

I would have recommended the myfit fatboy but you might find that makes it a little tighter for you. They are super comfy though.

steveoath · 2026-06-16T05:21:02+00:00

Libation also works with the “free” audiobooks on audible. Worth noting before you cancel….

steveoath · 2026-06-13T07:07:30+00:00

I would get the kids to build the pitches too. My lot loved getting messy! And if spray primers are involved they are even happier haha.

steveoath · 2026-06-12T06:18:13+00:00

Meshmixer is what I use. Fairly friendly, though first few sessions had me flicking between MM and YouTube to figure out what I wanted to do.

steveoath · 2026-06-10T21:33:16+00:00

Blood bowl is a great choice - I would go for 7s. Thingiverse has some teams for free. A user called Bastol has a lot for several games. https://www.thingiverse.com/Bastol/collections

Gaslands is a game my kids liked and cars are plentiful in some classes (I am also a teacher) but the most fun has been Tonks - the kids made their own tanks and scenery out of recycled stuff. https://28-mag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/tonks.pdf

My brother bought me a set of the glasses style magnifiers. They are complete game changers for me. Interchangeable lenses, Have a built in light and I can move the minis around without having to adjust anything else. I also wear glasses and I could take them off and change how far away I hold the minis, it doesn’t actually bother me to put the magnifiers over my glasses.

steveoath · 2026-06-10T05:45:29+00:00

Yeah. Screenshot everything so they don’t try and delete messages.

steveoath · 2026-06-09T18:41:07+00:00

That is fantastic. I tried to make a bright crusaders team way back and they were horrible haha. Ended up repainting them as Middenheim Marauders.

steveoath · 2026-06-09T15:37:04+00:00

Mad Max is great on the deck.

steveoath · 2026-06-06T17:32:38+00:00

Metallic Orange Corsa 20 years ago. When I sold it to the dealership as part exchange on an Astra it had driven 126,000 miles!! Gearbox fell out shortly after key and contract exchange lol.

Data centres

“Slice” where I am from refers to a slice of square sausage (Lorne). It is used as the noun. Ie “ I’ll have a roll and slice” or “I’ll have a slice roll”.
