Most autistic thing you've purchased lately - c'mon feel the cringe

The local news did a run of stories about assholes shooting random people with Orbeeze guns, so I was curious. I ordered Gel Blasters for us and was impressed by how stupid fun they are. Not fun like a real gun, but not bad at all.

They're essentially just water guns you can vacuum up after. I don't think it will eclipse paintball or airsoft as a hobby, but they're fun enough to waste an afternoon chasing your kids around the yard with

I got an innatech mug from my work wife (office space company) I ordered a Weiland yuenian (spelling) mug for her for two reasons, she likes mugs too and her daughter is mad shy but a sweetie and if Mr. Basso called her newt she'd be all happy.

Semi autismo I got 10 CETME L mags cheap and 2 ammo cans.
 
Rtx3070 and a 2k monitor.

Nothing wrong with them, everything looks and runs great. But I had a 1060 and my monitor was nearing 10 years old... but they worked fine.
But most of the games I play were maxed out on the 1060, so... I constantly just sit there and wonder wtf I was thinking. I'm usually pretty good at not making these types of purchases, but I just decided fuck it one day at work that was 14 hours long.

I see you have your chosen weapon for your revenge, if kitty dies.
I would like to be dramatic.
If this bastard dies I'm burning the city down.

I just ordered this air purifier, that kinda looks like a lava lamp. It works by producing negative ions. It basically just destroys impurities in the air and acts like a magnet for dust. From my understanding. Which is nice, because I wanted an air purifier for long, but not changing filters. Which is expensive, and wasteful. Most air purifiers look like shit too, and I don't want anything white.
It's designed for rooms up to 50m2/538 square feet

A bit surprised it wasn't made by Dyson, because it has this Dyson-look to it.

I have no respiratory problems, but I'm allergic against cleaning. This was 360 usd, so yea. I'm willing to pay a lot to justify being lazy :ratface:
 
A concert ticket for Cradle of Filth. I did hear they put on a decent show.
A friend of mine used to talk about that band a lot back in the day.

I'd never heard of them, never listened to a single song of theirs, but I started calling his crummy apartment "the Cradle of filth" much to his chagrin.

People hate that. When you take something they're fond of and turn it around on them to embarrass them.
 
A marvel tote bag. The kind with drawstrings where the straps of a backpack are BUT! Hear me out cause I had a reason for it. My state has made the retarded decision to ban all shopping bags that aren't reusable. That means no bags period. Not even the "reusable" ones made of thicker biodegradable plastic alternatives that were supposed to replace the old cheap plastic shopping bags environmentalists kept getting their man panties in bunches over.

So it was either that or a baby yoda bag, Or carry my items home in my two hands. I swallowed my pride and picked the marvel one. Guess you can also say this is a grinds my gears post too.

I did that autistic thing where I got an idea into my head and started obsessing over it. That new autistic obsession is finding vintage curio cabinets similar to the one above, and filling them with whatever random shit that I can scrounge up and hanging them. I've got one glass fronted case and one plain wood case so far and they look pretty cool, hanging off the side of my bookcase. I'm currently in negotiations with a bloke on Marketplace about purchasing a printer's tray to hang on my wall, and I'm going to hit some op shops today and see what I can find.

Hey, whatever keeps me busy, I guess.
 
I bought a box of minis from Games Workshop.

It gets worse. I bought them directly from Games Workshop, full price, and not from a discounter.

I feel like I've backslid into autism.
I was chatting to a friend who wants to get into GW stuff. We discussed Mordheim vs Kill Team vs Necromunda and Kill Team won out. I got the basics online for much less than through GW. Here I am in my late 40’s buying more toy soldiers.
 
Sin city the 2 disc director's cut, it came with a digest sized collection of the comics the movie is based on. Kinda wish i had bought The spirit while I was at it. Also the first volume of IDW's Judge Dredd comic, not a bad comic even if it's not as good as the original 2000 A.D comics.

Crest keeps breaking my heart with this. They keep putting out mass-market non-mint (or semi-minty) fluoride toothpastes, then immediately discontinuing them.

So the next time they try it, smart plan is to buy a fistful.

Look uo Eurothrimol they do a mind that will strip your face off when it comes to minty flavor.

Gell Guns where originally developed as a anti civilian Riot weapon they just didn't work under international law, so they have gone back to Batton Rounds (that are fatal more often than not) there was a place that did a form of laser quasra near me using Gell guns and UV light etc for one team and lighter gas muzzel flash combined with a laser for it's human VS aliens thing.

Looking at it as someone who Blacksmiths I see issues with it as a blade, let alone a long blade like a Sword, I know it wan't to look like a live edge and looks to be made form Steel it's not useful as anything other than a prop or a chopper. I know it's a Game Prop but honestly that edge makes me pissed off.

It was the best recreation we've been able to find. And it wasn't super pricey so we can't afford to be picky with how it'd work as an actual sword. We are simply nerds.
 
I decided to buy The Northman on VUDU. I will watch it when I get home from work today. I plan on turning off my phone and playing my speakers quite loud.

Mine crypto. At least if you have relatively cheap electricity, not if you're a yuropoor or something.

Also a kilo of white miso paste, dashi concentrate, and two bottles of tamari to bring it up to free shipping on Amazon.

I also have wakame and kombu already, so all I really need is tofu (or even some kind of meat or fish) and green onions. I think I might use some of the invasive wild green onions in the yard. They have been an immense pain in the ass so it might be worth getting some use out of them.

Mint's abundant; I was hoping for non-mint, but the box art for Euthymol toothpaste looks cute as heck.

I did go down a web spiral and order some MARVIS toothpaste, which hasn't arrived yet. If it ends up too weird to use I'm gonna blame @Accept Only Substitutes for starting me down this path.
