Art books or Aztec history?

Own one. Definitely recommend it and ribbon floss.

Books are my fondest indulgence as I age. I'm an absolute Aztec history dork and a screen doesn't do any Mesoamerican codex justice.

I buy more odd art books than I should.

Noble and I support the notion.

Think of this in an exercise of "missing out". See what is being offered. If you don't find treasure move on. If you find treasure is it worth it? Price and a metaphorical weight should be put in the calculation.

The best belt I ever owned was Amish made.

I've heard the "flashlight rabbit hole" goes deep.

Good suggestion! Unfortunately I have a Mountain of Shame of unbuilt and unpainted Warhammer models. I need to process those first before picking up another hobby I'll neglect.

If I don't know if something exists I won't know if I'll ever want it. I live without a lot of commercials and ads compared to the average American. So when I want to know if anything has come to the market that could add value or joy I do it on my own terms. When I window shop it relaxes me probably for the same reason I like hanging out in museums. I will admit anything actually worth purchasing is a rare occurrence.

Window shopping means I'm not buying anything.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Totally agree. The only game I play on my phone is Balatro.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I stand corrected.

Fuck yeah! Knife Phone and Fuck You Phone!

Please send pics of "Knife Phone".

Edit:

 

I've been very stressed lately and have been doing some window shopping to calm down. I'm interested in gadgets, but a lot of things can just be replaced with apps. I realize a phone won't replace very large appliances like refrigerators or washing machines so I'm trying to scope my question to portable devices. So what are some portable devices or gadgets that their specialization hasn't been replaced by smart phone apps? Extra points if they're super useful and reliable.

 

When I was a kid my family owned a device whose sole purpose was to rewind vhs tapes.

 

I don't own decorations of any kind for any holiday. I live alone and I don't really celebrate much of anything. So my questions are:

  1. Do you decorate your home, office, automobile, etc. at all?
  2. If so which holidays?
 

I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?

 

I love goblins and lizardmen. Goblins because deranged little dudes running around is always a blast. Lizardmen because alligator people with melee weapons are the way I wish dinosaurs evolved instead of being birds.
