Animedragon Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 While going round my local supermarket getting my weekly shopping I saw this on the shelf, we anime fans would know it better as Pocky, so I bought a packet to see if it's as good as the Real Pocky I got from a Japanese food shop when I was working in central London. And, yes it's pretty good, the only downside being that it's milk chocolate instead of plain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 The nearby "Ralphs" supermarket (owned by Kroger and the market share leader here in SoCal) has a decently-stocked "asian" isle that includes actual Glico Pocky in several flavors. I occasionally snag a box of the matcha green tea flavor but I've seen chocolate banana, strawberry cream, cookies and cream, and of course chocolate there as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I got some strawberry Pocky from the aforementioned Japanese food store and from a stall at an anime con I attended, it was nice but my favourite is the dark chocolate flavour. From the reactions of my friends and workmates when I've offered them some Pocky English people aren't really ready for the cullinary delights of Pocky. They took one stick of Pocky and declined a second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Some relatives from out of state are visiting and one of them brought me a 3d dragon. It is fully articulated; each segment, including the head, tail, and legs, are moveable. It was probably printed as one piece because the segment links are solid. Post-print cleanup & detailing must have been a PITA but as a result the finished product is solid and pretty impressive, though there's still quite a bit of 3d-printed artifacting when you get up close. (I might try brushing it lightly with a bit of acetone to see if it softens and blurs out that last a little.) It has some heft to it too. No skimping on the infill here. Props on the choice of color filament too. Not sure if it was all from one spool or not (multicolored spools are a thing) but either way it worked out nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic Whammy Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I have been a huge fan of Heroquest from way back in its original run in the 80's. A couple years ago, I heard about the revival about 3 months too late, so I couldn't get involved in the crowdfunding and the new exclusive stuff, but my wife got me a copy of the original from someone local on Facebook, and ever since I've been getting all the new expansions. Just got the all new Rise of the Dread Moon a couple weeks ago, and already pre-ordered the new Path of the Wandering Monk character set that was shown off at GenCon a couple weeks ago.

Animedragon Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 My latest acquisition is a box of jubilee clips, perhaps not the most exciting acquisition, but a very useful one to enable me to repair the rose arch in the garden which suffered rather badly in the storms earlier in the year.

Sakura Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 My sister brought me an old Digivice she had found in her room that hadn't been opened yet.

I have a rather large collection of lapel pins that I've been collecting for the past few decades. (Something of an occupational hazard.) Most of my collection is of the the lesser-known robotics missions, but I recently got some Artemis items as well from last year's mission. The pins are the main thing but I also have t-shirts, baseball caps, mission patches & badges, and other etc. Even a couple of lunch pails, a few Hot Wheels special edition (Mars rovers), and lego sets. At least I think I still have the legos. I may have given them to my brother's kids as I don't recall seeing them recently. They may also just be buried in the garage or the back of the closet. (I have a closet like the one in House. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) My brother’s kids requested stickers as necessary back-to-school accessories so I stopped in at the company store today. Unfortunately they were out of stock on those but for myself I did pick up a new cap with all the NASA rovers in silhouette, a Mars Sample Return mission sticker, and an Artemis patch. On the cap that’s the Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance rovers, along with the Ingenuity drone/helicopter at the far right. And yes that’s my Kerbal coffee mug off to the side there. Edited August 31, 2023 by efaardvark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
