What would you bring to an adult show and tell?

I don’t necessarily mean adult as in NSFW.

I’d probably bring in my RG280V. It was my first handheld emulator. I had emulated games on my phone in the past and even used a Bluetooth controller but playing on it felt different. More real in a way.

I grew up with the Game Boy so the idea of having thousands of games on the go is pretty neat to me.

I’ve since moved on to the RG405M.

What about you? Do you have anything neat or special to you that you could talk about for a couple minutes?

Would love to see photos as well

So I’m trans. And what I would bring is the Christmas ortament I got from a friend after coming out that says “Name’s first Christmas”.

That’s both hilarious and thoughtful. I love it and am totally stealing this idea.

@inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world avatar

You absolutely should! It’s funny because she was kinda nervous about the idea because she was worried that it might be insulting since I’m not like, a baby. But I laughed so hard when I opened the box, and it’s slayed everyone I’ve shown it too. 10/10, best gift ever.

Specially because that was otherwise a pretty bleak Christmas, had no blood family or girlfriend anymore. But my best friend from high school became my new family, so it all worked out I think!

That’s super sweet and special, love it as a show-and-tell.

My friends came and threw me an “It’s a girl!” party. Friends are great.

Hahaha aww, that’s cute and awesome!

The only acceptable use of a “gender reveal party!” 😉

my laptop so i can show off gnome and emacs (and my trackball!)

pixelscript ,

I have a fair amount of crap, but not a lot of it is of much interest to most people.

Unless someone out there wants me to show up with a laundry basket full of Fumos and subject them to an unsolicited three hour lecture on Touhou lore…

Gabu ,

Yes, please! BTW, Marisa is best girl.

LowtierComputer ,

What is a Fumo?

Sunrosa ,

A Touhou Project plush

pixelscript ,

Collectible marketable plushies of anime girls from a very specific franchise. Have a bit of a meme cult following. Both the franchise itself as a whole and this product line in specific.

Google will show you what they look like, and /r/fumofumo on Reddit has a collection of memes and shitposts to see, but if you don’t get the appeal that wouldn’t be surprising.

That’s him right there, officer.

Buffalobuffalo ,

Are you ready for the critique or is that all just part of the enjoyment? Secondly, if presented with a challenge of sword fighting would you accept?

Toneswirly ,

Im ready for anything

Will you at least tell jokes, like Louis CK while you violate everybody?

I’d bring some beer that I make in my garage.

Maybe my little DIY walnut cased ESP32 universal remote https://startrek.website/pictrs/image/765b57f3-93f6-4582-a113-19d4ad0f8a01.jpeg

MrQuallzin ,

Loving the look is this. Got a guide for making one?

Mwallerby ,
@Mwallerby@startrek.website avatar

Thanks! Fraid not, it came together pretty ad hoc as I was building it.

Essentially the process was breadboarding the major components to get them talking and sort out the software, then built the main board to hold everything in position, then built the box to fit around it all

@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Better charge that thing!

Is this universal remote in terms of IR to your TV, or more like connecting to Plex/Kodi/etc?

Mwallerby ,
@Mwallerby@startrek.website avatar

Yeah the battery management board is a bit flaky so keeping it charged is a pain! Yeah it’s just doing IR for the various living room devices, sound system, TV etc so I didn’t have to keep tabs on 4 different remotes

Dave ,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Ah that’s really cool!

Is it nice to use? For a bit I used a Kodi app on my phone but it gets annoying having to unlock your phone, open the app, then hit pause or whatever you’re wanting to do. I presume this is much nicer.

Mwallerby ,
@Mwallerby@startrek.website avatar

Its great to hold! Very chunky in the hand. Functionality wise I only gave it the on/off, volume and input selection from the media devices, and then it talks to another esp32 base unit that controls some lighting over WiFi, but as far as actually driving the media controls I shamefully just use the Google Chromecast controls, I’m not savvy enough to set up a FOSS alternative yet

BertramDitore ,
@BertramDitore@lemmy.world avatar

I LOVE this. I’m pretty sure I’ve tried every single media/pc remote available, and they all suck for one reason or another. Been thinking about building my own, and this is totally the direction I would go. Thanks for the inspiration!!

TheRealLinga ,

I’d bring my Moog Theramini. Nothing like playing the air waves! It’s magic science!

My fully water cooled itx PC running arch, then I can force my hubby on them 😍

Trying to decide whether that was a typo, or if you are into the whole open relationship thing.

He has a water cooled PC running arch, chances for an actual hubby are slim.

Nice. Sorry about the burn, but the urge was too strong.

Jimmycrackcrack ,

Open or not consent is key here.

Rai ,

My Bad Dragon collection!

Wait, how adult are we talking?

Buffalobuffalo ,

It’s really important you demonstrate the ‘show’ part to everyone, but I’d be impressed more on the tell. I.e., is using a toy like this more strength focused (dragon bonk feel good) or dexterity focused (filthy dexterity user)?

Abnorc ,

I’d bring an amateur radio. Fun device that gives you access to an alternate method of communication. They’re old fashioned, but amateur radio gets used here and there in emergencies. I think it’s more of a precautionary thing from a practical perspective, but it’s still cool.

Underwaterbob ,

Probably a synthesizer. MEGAfm would be the coolest, but I imagine my desktop Hydrasynth would be more impressive.

s3rvant ,
@s3rvant@lemmy.ml avatar

My board game prototypes! Can always use more playtesters :)

Gabu ,

Depends, is it a casual thing or more serious? If it’s casual I’d probably just bring a Trading Card Game deck (MTG, YuGiOh, Pokémon). If it’s more serious, I’d bring in some of my junk like a broken microwave magnetron, to simultaneously bring attention to the problem of short product cycles, explain a bit about how what most people see as a magic appliance functions, and show that even complex things can be broken down into simple parts.

I used to paint back in college but I haven’t touched the brush ever since. I just don’t have the drive for it I guess.

Those are amazing!

I’d roll up in my classic car that I’m restoring.
