HOW?

FUCKING HOW, GETH? I MADE ONE FUCKING POST IN THE THREAD IN THE LAST 3 DAYS...


*ahem*

So. I collect shit. Lots of shit. Which means it's time for another thread of "WTF, Ath, how the fuck do you own all this stuff and what do you do with it?"

Alternate title: "Clean your fucking apartment!"


So here's my current office. Around the new year, I set up a table so I could start cleaning/organizing my collection, and because it is a vertical surface it has just become covered with stuff at this point. There's a lot of paper trash around that needs to go.

Here's the cleaning table (*sigh*) and my primary Lego shelves.

This is my large Transformers, as well as my older Transformers and figures. I really want to get these shelves cleaned off and put away, because many of these just.. look bad, ya know?

This is my Manga and older book shelf. Most of the things on here are books I've had since I was a kid. It's also where Trypticon lives because he is a big boi who doesn't play nice with the other Titans.

This is RPG shelf #2. It is also where some of my larger Zoids are, as well as my human cat toy collection.

RPG Shelf #1 doesn't change much because it contains all my legacy Shadowrun stuff, but the top is new -- I now have My Little Pony statues!

This is my main board game / gunpla shelf. A few months ago I went through and re-organized all my board games in alphabetical order, which is why there are more toys strewn about. There are some missing items that I've pulled out to play with / work on.

Board Game overflow. My wooden crate board games are here, as are just.. large ones that I haven't organized yet.

My last attempt at a cleaning table is here. This sucker was set up.. a couple years ago? I am... really bad at this.

I just like having a Lego Voltron, nothing else special about this pic. :)

So.. yeah. Please, don't become like me. 20 years of toy collecting and a ton of disposable income leads to bad choices in life.

... But I do admit, I enjoy showing it off and having things that bring people joy. Now if I could just figure out which specific ones bring ME joy to own. :)

    I should've gone with something themed after Fading Suns or Homeworld, but I wanted to get something out there quickly.

    I'm reading a car restoration/build thread on another forum and the guy that writes it is a delight
    One of the things not included in the head gasket set are the 'insulators' that sit under the fuel injectors. Mine are a bit crispy.

    So I ordered some more from the nice man at Toyota.

    Unfortunately they got the got the wrong bits. Theirs are like plain rubber rings, mine are like little Mexican hats with the top missing.
    As I said to the chap at Toyota, "mine are like little Mexican hats with the top missing" as I did an impression of a Mexican putting a sub standard, miniature hat on.

    Even now this image makes me chuckle

    The best part of any sports movie is where the protagonists figure out how to cover up their PED use and recruitment scandals better than the rival team.

    I looked them up and they are cool as hell art deco pieces. Plus they have some obscure LOTR energy

    Some of the oldest known works of human representative art are hand-carved fertility idols

    Which is why all my anime titty figurines are actually high culture

    I am well aware of this. I keep myself sane by saying that at least I don't have newspapers and other detrius around.. but these pics make it look worse because I haven't done a recycling run in a bit. :(

    So bored and so alone that I was quite a few verses in before I realized I was singing along out loud to a song that is explicitly about having been radicalized and going to an airport to wage holy war

    https://youtu.be/ogox4nrOBaE

    Being at a nearly empty airport is kind of nice, though

    There's no sitting around acting proper like i'm in public, because I am very much not

    I think you're right

    I definitely detected an undercurrent of "I think this is unhealthy behaviour but don't really know how to articulate why" from it though

    The alphafold structure is actually shockingly close to the cryo em structures of the proteins (complex, transmembrane) we work on.

    I haven’t looked into it too deeply, yet, but I pulled that this morning.
