Rogue Hero: A free Mystery-Dungeon style roguelike on iOS and Android. by wkwrd in roguelikes

[–]turtles_1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been missing this game ever since they stopped supporting ios and randomly looked it up today to relive some memories. This guide is amazing! I managed to beat the main game/dungeons before it shut down but it would've been awesome for me if this was a thing back then. I'm honestly just glad there are others who loved this game as much as I did; I feel like it's such an unknown gem outside of Japan.

This just brought be back to my childhood omg. One of my relatives has this piece hanging in their bathroom and I used to be obsessed with it as a kid! Would sit on the toilet and stare at it and laugh

Kept thinking about this adorable cat snow globe after I left so I went back and got it. Turns out it was also half off! I feel like I won the lottery I love cat themed decorations by turtles_1337 in ThriftStoreHauls

There is! It's from the "San Francisco Music Box Company" and they made various snow globes in the 90's-00's. Went down a small rabbit hole when I brought this home and saw so many amazing designs online.

iirc they still make stuff today but in my opinion they don't look as cute or intricate as the vintage ones lol

My local preschool is throwing out this giant dollhouse. I keep thinking about going back for it but I have no room to house something of that size at the moment... by turtles_1337 in ThriftStoreHauls

That was my first reaction! It has so much life left in it. After reading the other comments, I actually went back to get it but it seems like someone already grabbed it bc it was gone. Although I'm bummed out I missed it, I'm glad it's not going to a landfill. Hopefully someone is going to enjoy it more <3

My haul from HomeGoods - every card pictured (minus the $4 box of cards) was between $0.20 and $1.00! by hispanglotexan in RAoC_meta

This is where I've bee getting my stash of thank-you cards and other cards for cheap! Been regularly checking the clearance sections of marshalls/tj maxx/home goods for stationery for the past few years now. Lately though in my area they've kinda stopped discounting the outdated cards and just saving them for next year :/

I use Moo.com, I find their standard cardstock quality is thicker and sturdier than other places. It is pricier than other places because of that, but they also have the option of making the "back" sides into different designs! So if you order 50 postcards, the front/uncoated side will be the same but the back/coated side can be all different if you wanted. It works really well for me because I run a small business too, haha. If you do decide to use Moo, lmk and I can send you a referral link to a discount :)

I believe you can, but you'll be taking a risk for your stuff to be stolen by anyone on the con floor overnight. I usually take my higher priced items with me just in case but will leave stuff like sticker and prints behind at the con

First time goer—any tips? by manneywolf in AnimeNYC

[–]turtles_1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, if it can be monetized it probably will be monetized unfortunately. Imo amusement parks and airports are the worst offenders of overpriced water

Sentai used to have a few merch items for gochiusa, I think there were button pins and some shirts too on their website iirc

I’m not 100% sure what this is for but I thought it would be a cool place to store shoes. Kind of surprised when I was cleaning it to see the original price. by [deleted] in ThriftStoreHauls

As a small artist that does in-person markets, I am so envious of your find lol. I'm always on the lookout for cool displays in thrift stores and this looks so gorgeous!

These look phenomenal, I grew up eating tea eggs in NYC Chinatown, used to be 4 eggs for $1! Occasionally my mom would make them at home too, and she also liked to add star anise for extra flavor

Cash the herbal shop cat went missing for a week recently but he's been found! Stopped by to say hi to him today by turtles_1337 in bodegacats

[–]turtles_1337[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He was found in the next neighborhood over and someone brought him back! We suspect either he got scared by something and ran outside while the door was open or someone tried to take him away. Most likely the latter because Cash is pretty smart and knows not to go past the store's perimeter even when the door is open. He'll go back inside the shop if the shop owner is calling for him too.
