What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

You gotta make a silicon mold and cast some of those!
Why? I have 79...?
I will be PIFing a good bit but may decide to offer up some for sale at cost +shipping after the holidays.
I got them for ~0.50usd/each so may throw a few 10 packs up in the new subforum. Want to wait until I'm finished gifting first though.
I'm not sure they'll fit on m/any PPCB layouts but would be great for 1 knob jobs. Gonna try them on the Jericho as well.

Had a strange interaction on eBay with the seller about another lot(missed the other)

I've been on eBay since 1999. Never had anything like that happen.

Spent way too much setting up emulators, but now those are handled, and I've had some actual playtime on non-emulated games too. I'll try it docked too, maybe over the weekend. I'm not really a console person, but being able to play games from my Steam library on the TV might be fun every now and then.

One of my favorite things to do with the Deck is sit in the backyard under the willow and get lost in the Witcher or Dragon Age. The wind, and the outdoor smells really help with immersion

Only game I've tried to stream to the TV was Fallout 76, and the lag was abysmal

I don't mean streaming, I mean using a dock and just plugging in a HDMI cable.

I might try streaming to the deck from the PC for some heavy game just to see how it works, but I'm wary of the lag too. Although I have used a Steam Link before and it was bearable. I currently only have a 100M cable from the TV to the desktop though (or the switch might be just 100M, I forget) so that might be a bit worse than having a 1G or 10G connection.

That'll probably work well. I've yet to get a dock for mine. I love being untethered (granted I use a Milwaukee M18 inverter with a 12ah battery on the go 🤣)

There’s a trick you can do with a silicone mold where you add mineral spirits at some point (At least I think it’s mineral spirits) and that will cause the mold to shrink in size. So you could cast them with a shrink mold to make smaller versions.
 
Is that screen printed or a transfer?

I have to get another heat press, I got rid of mine because I wasn't really a fan of vinyl...
 
Have you seen those DTG printers? Those are pretty cool they allow you to print right on the shirt, full color and all!
