Are you going in blind or do you have a controller holy grail in mind?

Are you going in blind or do you have a controller holy grail in mind?

I usually collect controllers to use (shocking, I know) so I love most of what I have. My proudest things I own are my Wii U pro controller, my gamecube, my Xbox duke, my DS4 and my ps1 mini DualShock. The controller I’m buying is something called a Backbone. Just for phone emulation.

 

[LUNARMYTH]

Smart, collecting for the sake of using it rather than staring at it.
What color is your GC controller? Random thought I loved how the buttons and triggers sounded on the GC controller, haha.

Baseball caps of baseball, hockey, and gridiron football teams. Specifically curved brim, hate wearing flat brim hats. Got a lot of the MLB and some MiLB and local independent teams. A few NHL and NFL teams. Counting unique teams I think I have somewhere between 50 and 70 right now. Been moving so I don't have them on me to take a pic but I do have a pic of a few from a vacation a while ago

This is where I’ll get kinda sad because I would say something cool like red or yellow but it’s just black. I sadly lost my chance to get red and yellow. I wasn’t greedy enough I guess ?

Can you all feel that..? That's the raw power of several earth based loot enjoyers sharing their treasure hordes.

regrets

 

[Tronky.it]

I'm glad to see books here. Best thing about them is that all you need is eyes and time to enjoy them. Keep collecting! I have around 100 books myself. And I do have many, many left unread on my shelf but I almost always thrift for them. So 50 cents here or a dollar there for hours of potential enjoyment is never a hard sell.

Oh, I hear you... unfortunately, despite having read half of them, the other half is always waiting to even be opened xD
Better in my library, than lost or dusty on some shelf, at least.

 

[ConanTheDestroyer]

I used to collect wrestling cards for many years. Quite a few of them unfortunately got lost over the years. These two used to be my favourite out of the ones I collected.

regrets

What measures are necessary to enclose them in protective plastic bags? And are the dimensions of the spines similar to those of a regular book?

 

[aciid_fiish]

I just started collecting old technology, not too old like 90s and onward. I have a CRTV, which in the future id like to get a playstation to play old games through. Ive got old digital cameras, a slide phone, and my prized possesion an apple clamshell! My sisters boyfriend found it in a storage container and he gifted it to me for free! Take a looksie:

Allow me to chime in for @fmsynthetic and suggest folding small to medium regrets. Anything larger may require dicing as you would an onion. Double the tears, all the fun.

 

[randomdudeguy]

You know, I'm something of a collector myself.

 

[nachito]

I have this little cd collection. But haven't bought one since forever.

Nice! I actually also had a CD collection mostly comprised of metalcore, deathcore and rock music but I passed it down to my nephew. CDs are always gonna be cool.

 

[Mopeybloke]

Nonsense answer, but I feel like I'm collecting browsers. Firefox, Floorp, Thorium. I used to have Pale Moon installed. Of course M$ has bestowed on me Edge too.

 

[Turbo Kid]

I'm a very casual toy/figure collector. I've had to cut back since moving into a smaller house

 

[KenShjIN]

I collect Books too.Im at 350 to 400 now.Even if i dont read much these days.

 

[Sleepstate]

Pokemon figures

Besides vg, I also collect all sorts of knick-knacks, but speaking of something else, in the past I happened to buy a few film cameras. Here are some of them:

Voigtländer Vito B (1st model 1954)

Olympus OM 40 Program (1986)

Nikon FM (1977 - one of the best Nikons ever created, also compatible with pre-AI lenses...my favorite film camera)

 

[Raziya The Seeker]

A few things, actually. In order of how active and/or pricey they can get, here goes...

If you can believe it, I like collecting little bits of "trinket" junk off the ground. I walk like, everywhere, so every now and then I'll find something I wanna take with me. Probably half of these were found in the parking lot of my workplace, heh.

The ones above the salvaged sidewalk junk? My Walmart used to have a vending machine for little doodads and what-not for some quarters. I liked getting these little plastic crystals. I could've just bought a bunch off Amazon or something, but it wouldn't be the same, would it? The luck of the draw made it special.

As for more serious collections? I may not be a dice goblin like my nephew, buuuut...



...what can I say, I like TTRPG miniatures. Sorry for the blurriness. These are thumbnails above, so you can click them for a closer view.

Many of them are from Reaper Miniatures, though I do have some from Warlocks Wizards of the Coast and some Pathfinder ones. No idea where the non-painted color ones are from, other than my local game store. I kinda like picking up those more obscure ones.

 

[Comster]

I like to collect amiibos.

 

[RanmyakuIchi's icon RanmyakuIchi RanmyakuIchi]

I collect pretty much everything Hatsune Miku. Big shocker, I know.
