34th Birthday Haul

It's Birthday time again! (Number 34!) Because it was on a Saturday this year, I actually got to have a little celebration with my family on the day itself for once. Filled up on DQ ice cream cake and Raising Cane's while watching the latest Yu-Gi-Oh! Go Rush and smashing stuff with a big monkey on my Switch 2. So, all in all, a pretty cool day. Now then, on to the main event: the loot that I scored! 

Donkey Kong Bananza

Donkey Kong & Pauline amiibo

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed (Switch)

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind Deluxe Edition (Switch)

WE'RE BREAKING THROUGHHHHH! Starting off with some games, the heavy hitter here is absolutely Bananza. DK's first brand new game in eleven years (not to mention his first 3D game in almost TWENTY-SIX) is also the Switch 2's first big exclusive single-player adventure, AND it happened to come out in late July??? Oh yeah, this one was MADE for me to get for my Birthday. I look forward to spending the remainder of August unearthing every last Banandium Gem and Fossil while digging ever closer to the Earth's core. Also got the DK & Pauline amiibo to immortalize their adorable little team-up on my shelf. (I'm thinking they'd look especially appropriate on my main gaming shelf with my Ralph and Vanellope Disney Infinity figures.)

Backing the big ape up are a fancy physical edition of the recent retro-style Power Rangers game with a bunch of extra goodies thrown in (including a super rad poster) and a remake of Mickey's original trip to Wasteland by the guys behind the recent SpongeBob 3D platformer renaissance. (Titans of the Tide looks SO GOOOOOOOD!) Looking forward to giving both a go after I finish with all the monkey business.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Saturday Morning Adventures Volume 3

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Saturday Morning Adventures Volume 4

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Saturday Morning Adventures Volume 5

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 40th Anniversary Comics Celebration: The Deluxe Edition

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The IDW Collection Volume 16

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The IDW Collection Volume 17

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures Compendium Volume 1

The rest of my goodies are all TMNT-related, so let's get to kicking some shell.

First off, some very turtley comics! Three more volumes continue the adventures of the 1987 Turtles as they battle foes both old and new (including a "classic" take on the Pantheon from the main IDW book), the green team celebrate their big 4-0 from last year by returning to several of their TV and comic incarnations for a collection of brand new stories, Rat King at last begins his dreaded Armaggedon Game in two more hardcover collections of IDW's ongoing, and last but not least, IDW revisits the Archie TMNT comics with an aim to reprint EVERYTHING. (Including mini-series, specials, short stories, and, hopefully, that chunk of issues that they infamously skipped in their previous trades.) I'm definitely gonna have PLENTY of genetically-modified ninjustu terrapin action to keep me occupied for quite a while.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Double-Sided Quilt/Comforter/Blanket

My last bit of Turtle Power was this really cool blanket that my parents found for me while they were out thrifting! It's from 2014 and I'm not sure whether it was from some kid's bedding set or sold by itself, but it's super neat and really comfy. The different art on both sides is especially cool. (I think I like the side with the classic team shot art the best, but the other side featuring characters rarely seen on stuff like this such as Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Casey Jones is certainly nothing to sneeze at. It's funny that THEY got a spot on this, but SHREDDER was a no-show. It's also funny that Leo's mask knot is miscolored on the team shot side. Oops.) It makes for a really fun addition to my TMNT collection and I love that it has an actual practical use. It'll be perfect to cloak myself in while watching Tales of the TMNT Season 2. (Whenever THAT finally hits.)

Wrapping things up, my sister also gifted me some Amazon cash that I used to pre-order, shock of all shocks, more TMNT comics!

That's the end of THIS year's party! I'll see you guys again in the Fall!

The Christmas Fallout: 2024!

Welp, that wraps up another holiday season. (Pun intended.) I sincerely hope that the last week was at least pleasant for all of you. Everyone deserves a nice Christmas. (Or whatever it is you personally celebrate.)

Welcome to the annual Christmas Fallout post, where I share the bounty of goodies that I've been blessed with this December by my loved ones. You're all also free to join in via the comments, of course. We're inching toward 2024's finale, so let's see if we can't squeeze out one last little bit of holiday goodness. On to the booty!

$20 Nintendo eShop Card

Lots of Candy

Starting off with the stocking filling, in addition to a generous supply of sweet treats (which include Hershey's Kisses, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, M&Ms Minis, Nerds of all kinds, a buildable Hershey's Chocolate Santa, and a plastic candy cane filled with gummy Krabby Patties), I also received 20 bucks of eShop cash to spend however I wish. (I used it to score DLC for one of the games mentioned in the next section, as well as a temporarily discounted Persona 4 Golden. This'll be my first time playing any version of P4, so I'm excited to finally see what all the hubbub's about.)

Mario & Luigi: Brothership (With Best Buy-Exclusive Shareable Pin Set)

Sonic X Shadow Generations: Day One Edition (Switch)

Super Mario Party Jamboree

Princess Peach: Showtime!

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics (Switch)

Astro Bot 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed Deluxe Edition (Switch) (Includes the Game itself, a Steelbook, an Artbook, four Weapon Keychains, and a set of four Belt Buckle Pins)

This year's gaming haul promises to keep me busy for quite a while. On top of my FAVORITE RPG SERIES EVER returning this year, 2024 also saw Shadow raising Sonic Generations to new heights with his own solo campaign, Mario Party's latest (and supposedly greatest) shindig, Nintendo's two biggest leading ladies embarking on adventures of their own, a comprehensive collection of Marvel vs. Capcom's greatest hits, a GOTY-winning full-length sequel to probably the greatest free pack-in game ever, and the Mutant Mayhem Turtles taking to the streets in their very first video game outing. Just those first two alone are sure to keep me smiling well into spring, so I'm really excited to start digging into everything.

Sgt. Frog: The Complete Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Seasons (SD Blu-ray)

Pokémon the Series: XY The Complete Season

Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest The Complete Season

On to a little DVD and Blu-ray action, Viz actually released more than one Pokémon set this year, so I was able to add two-thirds of the Kalos arc to my shelf all at once. (Should make for very appropriate 2025 entertainment, what with the region returning in Legends form next year.) Joining those is the final Sgt. Frog collection from Discotek, promising 153 MORE EPISODES (!) of procrastinating space frog fun. (Kululu also FINALLY got his spotlight on the spine of this one, meaning that Dororo can't even catch a break on Blu-ray packaging. 😂)

Sonic the Hedgehog Volume 16: Misadventures

Sonic the Hedgehog Volume 17: Adventure Awaits

Moving on to some new reading material, my annual IDW Sonic fix is a bit lighter this year, but these two trades are still packed with plenty of Hedgehog-flavored goodness, including Sonic's 900th English comic adventure overall, a "beach episode" co-starring the Babylon Rogues, a Chaotix Halloween treat, as well as a handful of smaller stories either serving as fun one-offs or as setup for the next major arc of the book. (Which you'll likely see here next Christmas.)

Mighty Morphin/Power Rangers Book Two Deluxe Edition 

Mighty Morphin/Power Rangers Book Three Deluxe Edition 

Keeping the licensed comic train a-going, these two hardcovers finish off the "Mighty Morphin/Power Rangers" era of the Boom MMPR comics, alongside Ryan Parrott's tenure as the book's main writer. Only two arcs remain uncollected in Deluxe Edition form, so we're heading toward this universe's climax! (Hopefully, Prime lasts long enough to receive its own collections like these. I need all the new Power Rangers fiction that I can get.)

DC Versus Marvel Omnibus

Topping off this year's reading pile is this beautiful hardcover collection of Marvel and DC's classic crossovers. Given how both companies are these days, I NEVER thought that they'd collaborate on anything EVER again, but I'm VERY happy to be proven wrong. Now I can finally add these legendary team-ups to my shelf and read them all for the first time. (I'm especially interested in checking out the two times that Bats and Spidey crossed paths.)

NECA TMNT (1987 Cartoon) Vacation Bebop & Vacation Rocksteady 

Funko Bitty POP! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Collector Pack

My family also surprised me with some TMNT goodies! First off, a couple new faces for my growing NECA figure collection: Bebop and Rocksteady in their delightfully silly vacation outfits from the episode, "Napoleon Bonafrog: Colossus of the Swamps." These guys are actually the very first Bop and Rock that I've gotten from any of NECA's Turtles lines, so it's very fitting to finally add them to the shelf in such a unique way.

I was also gifted a set of Funko's adorably tiny Bitty POPs. They're like what would happen if you shrank the regular TMNT POPs down to the size of a quarter, and they can even be removed from their tiny plastic boxes! The only thing that I'm not super crazy about with them is that this Collector Pack only includes the "common" rarity figures from the overall set, meaning that you awkwardly have three out of four 8-bit Turtles and Rocksteady without Bebop (not to mention no Leatherhead). Still, they're pretty fun little things and will make for a cool display regardless.

The Book of Bill (Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition)

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game (Switch)

My sister's family also treated me very well. They not only added to my reading pile with the latest Gravity Falls book exploring the innermost thoughts of professional weirdo, Bill Cipher, but also contributed to my gaming backlog with a sandbox adventure starring everyone's favorite incredibly dense starfish. I look forward to diving (literally, in Patrick's case) into both eventually.

ALF: The Complete Series Deluxe Edition (Amazon)

Finally, my grandma gave me 50 bucks, which I used to score Shout's new ALF DVD set. While I already had the previous Lionsgate releases of the show, the episodes on this particular set are the original broadcast versions, meaning that many scenes that were cut out for syndicated airings are fully restored. Shout also included both of ALF's cartoons, as well as the Project ALF TV movie that concluded the show, making this the definitive DVD collection for the Melmacian culture enthusiast. I can think of no better entertainment to kick off 2025 with than an old sitcom about a wisecracking alien who breaks things.

That wraps up 2024! Thank you all so much for reading, and I'll see you in 2025!

Hauls: OMGcon 2024 and a 30-Year Shark Attack

August is tomorrow, and I've still got a few hauls to share before the next big post. So let's get down to business and clear those out, shall we?

Power Rangers Lightning Collection Omega Rangers Set (Hasbro Pulse)

Always interested in collecting merch for comic-exclusive characters and forms from my favorite TV and game franchises. However, when the Omega Rangers set was initially released, I passed on it. 100 bucks seemed pretty steep for a four-pack of figures that were largely identical in design besides paint and accessories. (There are only two unique body and head molds in this set: a male one and a female one.) However, when Hasbro Pulse marked it down to less than $50 including shipping, I KNEW that I couldn't pass it up.

They're awesome figures, too! No QC problems and they're perfect plastic representations of the initial Omega Rangers team from the Boom comics. VERY happy with them, especially considering the deal I got them for.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 Annual Deluxe Edition (Walmart)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014 Annual Deluxe Edition (Amazon)

Didn't have physical copies of these particular stories from early on in IDW TMNT's run, so decided to shop around to see if I could find a good enough deal on the fancy hardcover deluxe editions. (Which were originally 40 bucks a piece. For ONE story. Yeah, that's why I waited to grab them.) Luckily, I was able to score BOTH used for less than the original price for ONE. Now I have everything from IDW TMNT pre-issue 100 in physical form minus the first Usagi crossover and the story from the 30th Anniversary Special! Not too shabby.

Guardians of the Galaxy Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack (Disney Movie Insiders)

Been saving up for this one for a while! I've had the second Guardians on Blu-ray since 2017, but have oddly never owned the first. Decided to change that through DMI, but it took a bit of waiting. Y'see, I wanted a digital copy of the movie as well, and the only Blu-ray that DMI offered that included one was 2000 points. (That's why it's the fancy-pants Blu-ray 3D version despite the fact that I don't own a 3D TV.) After a loooooong point grind that was set back by an impulse redemption here and there, I FINALLY got enough points and redeemed it. Now Guardians V2 won't look as awkward on the shelf!

Space Junk Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Canvas Backpack

My parents found this for me while thrifting! I'd never seen it before, but it's super cool and covered with unique artwork based on the 2012 TMNT show! Perfect as a both a travel bag AND a place to keep my TMNT pins!

OMGcon 2024 Swag

Keroro Version 1.5 + Flying Board Model Kit

Giroro Model Kit

Deep Ocean King Kululu and Kuluarm Model Kit

Mega Man Battle Network SMP Makes Pose Kit 01 - MegaMan

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Volume 2

Trevenant Sticker

OMGcon arrived once again and I spent another fun weekend hanging out and watching Digimon with my sister. As for my purchases during said weekend, besides the lone Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V manga volume and the Trevenant sticker my sister got free with some candy, I mostly scored a bunch of model kits. Here's a rundown of my experiences with them:

The MegaMan kit was a NIGHTMARE to build. SO many tiny pieces, SO much finger injury, and to top it all off, I accidentally attached one piece to the wrong side of another, resulting in me accidentally breaking the first while trying to separate the two. Luckily for me, everything still came together fine enough (despite MegaMan's left leg not being secured to him properly due to the missing piece), so I could still display him on one of my shelves. Still, I don't think I'll be picking up any more of these particular kits.

The Keroro kits, however, came together MUCH more easily. The only issues I had were the weird design of Giroro's eye stickers causing them to get all crumpled up when I applied them, and accidentally securing Keroro's body before attaching his head peg, resulting in me spending like an hour trying to pull the body back apart. Fortunately for me, I was eventually successful (thanks in no small part to some assistance from some nail clippers) and didn't damage anything, unlike with MegaMan. No problems with Kululu, though. He was a fun one from start to finish.

$20 Nintendo eShop Card (Target)

Two Digimon Card Game BT16 Beginning Observer Packs (Target)

Wrapping up OMGcon weekend, I had a bit of cash left over from my con funds, so I decided to use it to score an eShop card at Target (to put towards the new TMNT: Splintered Fate game) as well as a couple packs of Digimon cards. (Didn't get the greatest pulls, though, and that particular booster set didn't turn out to have much that interested me, so I kinda wish that I had gotten more eShop cash instead.)

Funko POP! Animation Baby (Funko Shop)

Funko POP! Television Slash with Pre-Mutated Slash (Amazon)

I don't buy POP! vinyls that often, but Funko deciding to make both my favorite Dragon Ball villain AND my favorite TMNT character in the same year kinda forced my hand. I especially love that they made pre-Vegeta Baby, as I feel that particular form is underrepresented in terms of merchandise. Also gotta love how Slash's bonus "pre-mutated" figure is obviously based on his 1987 cartoon design rather than his superior toy one that the main figure is. Hey, as long as the toy design is the main event, I don't mind a doofy little bonus.

Street Sharks 30th Anniversary Ripster Figure (Big Bad Toy Store)

Street Sharks 30th Anniversary Jab Figure (Big Bad Toy Store)

Street Sharks 30th Anniversary Slash Figure (Big Bad Toy Store)

OHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD these are AMAZING! When Mattel announced that we were getting a new line of Street Sharks figures for the 30th Anniversary that faithfully recreated the designs of the vintage figures, yet also updated their articulation to modern levels, I couldn't freaking believe it. BETTER versions of the always-expensive vintage Street Sharks for only 25 bucks a pop?! It was too good to be true! Needless to say, I pre-ordered the first wave ASAP and got them in recently. They DO NOT disappoint. The opening jaws? The action features? The rubbery shark skin? All there. They're EXACTLY like my old collection from back in the day, only they can pose around WAY more easily. They're SO fun to mess around with (especially Slash, who I've never actually owned before) and they even still come in little cages with that great vintage artwork and cut-out bios on the back! (Which I, of course, cut out, because I'm a dork.) I cannot BELIEVE that these really exist and I am IN for all future waves. (Which, judging by these photos from SDCC, I think I'm gonna need a bigger shelf for. MOBY LICK AND KILLAMARIIIIIIII!!!!)

Ness amiibo (Gamestop)

Ness was the only fighter from the Smash 64 roster that I didn't have in amiibo form, so I immediately jumped on this reissue that Gamestop recently put out. Now the original 12 that started it all have finally assembled on my shelf!

Ralph Breaks the Internet Hallmark Keepsake Ornament (eBay)

Being the Wreck-It Ralph nut that I am, I, of course, had my eye on this ornament back when it originally released in 2018. However, I didn't pull the trigger on it back then, causing its aftermarket price to eventually balloon up to 60 FREAKING DOLLARS! I did NOT want to pay that much for a tree decoration, so I recently shopped around and found it on eBay for half that price minus the box. It's in great condition, too, so it was well worth it. Looking forward to adding some Ralph goodness to my little tree this holiday.

Marvel Legends Superior Spider-Man Figure (Amazon)

I picked up the original Superior Spider-Man Marvel Legends figure back in 2017, but I quickly realized that it was severely lacking. It was missing his tech gauntlets and mechanical spider legs that he used pretty frequently in the comics and was overall just kind of...off. As it turns out, that particular figure was based on concept art for the character rather than the actual comic stories, meaning that fans of that time that Otto Octavius took a stab at heroics would go on wanting for a definitive figure. That all changed this year.

This new figure is MUCH improved. He has his gauntlets, spider legs, and even an interchangeable backpack piece so you could display him with OR without said extra limbs. The only thing that I would add would be a swivel for his gauntlets so he could position them in front of him in dramatic fashion, but he's still a great addition to my Marvel/Spider shelf. (Though, I had to do a bit of repositioning to find a spot for him. With those legs attached, he's just ASKING to knock down other figures. Classic Doc Ock, I guess.) 

Funko POP! Animation Super Baby 2 (Entertainment Earth)

Finishing things off, we have another of Baby's forms that got the POP! treatment recently. Now all I need is a jumbo POP! of the big gold monkey! C'mon, Funko, complete the Baby trifecta!

That's everything I picked up in the past couple months! See you in a couple days for the annual Birthday haul post!

The Christmas Fallout: 2023!

Well, the curtain has fallen on another Christmas, and VERY soon, another year. I hope you were all able to spend the last week in relative peace and/or happiness, regardless of any formal celebrations. 

With that, it's time for the annual Fallout post, where I show off my gift haul for the year and you guys can also chime in with yours via the comment section. It's the last bit of Christmas fun we'll get to have this year, so let's relish it! Have a peek at my goods:

HP Laptop

This was definitely the biggest surprise of everything I received this year. I've had the same HP Laptop since 2015 and, needless to say, it's been showing its age something fierce. The disc drive died, the thing couldn't stay on unless you kept it plugged in, and to top it all off, it was slower than Christmas. It became frustrating to use, but I still put up with it because, hey, at least it still mostly functioned, right? Well, now that my family has blessed me with a brand-new model that runs like a dream, I no longer have to put up with said frustration. God, it'll be nice to not have to constantly worry about killing the thing by accidentally pulling the cord or wait like an hour for it to shut down.

Super Mario RPG 
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Super Mario Bros. Wonder Walmart-Exclusive Trading Card Pack
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe 
Sonic Superstars (Switch)
Sonic Superstars Acrylic Stand 
Persona 5 Tactica (Switch)
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Launch Edition 
Marvel's Midnight Suns Enhanced Edition (PS5)

2023's gaming crop might be one for the books. Alongside the hotly-anticipated sequel to Insomniac's Spider-Man with two Spideys and a load of Symbiote fun, the year also saw a wonderfully (ha!) bizarre new 2D Mario game all wrapped up in an adorable new art style, a new 2D Sonic game with five different playable characters (which includes a brand-new REPTILE from Sonic's co-creator), another addition to the Persona 5 world with a strategy-based twist, and, oh yeah, A FULL HD REMAKE OF MY FAVORITE FREAKING GAME EVER COMPLETE WITH BRAND NEW CONTENT!!!!! 

*phew* So yeah, I've mainly been spending the past week playing the latter. (Just beat it, in fact, including the new post-game battles. PHENOMENAL remake that had me grinning from ear-to-ear, especially from a lot of the new additions, such as added dialogue and the Monster List.) 

Rounding things out are another turn-based strategy game (this time with a Marvel flavor) and an enhanced remake of a Kirby title from the Wii days. I actually had to reorder the latter from Amazon because the shrink-wrapped copy that I received as a gift didn't actually have a game card inside. (Seriously.) In luckier news, I definitely scored with those Walmart pre-order Mario Wonder cards:

I ACTUALLY GOT the infamous "limited to 1000 copies" Elephant Mario card!!! If you're wondering why I'm so pumped over a trading card, just look up "Elephant Mario card" on eBay and watch your own jaw hit the floor at the prices. It's the luckiest I've ever been with a trading card pack pull, and I'm definitely not letting this little rarity go to waste. With a little luck, what this sucker pulls on eBay has the potential to fully cover the cost of that nice laptop gift from before.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Steelbook (4K Combo) (W/Walmart-Exclusive Mini-Poster)

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (4K Combo)

Spider-Man: No Way Home (4K Combo)

Spider-Man Trilogy (Blu-ray)

The Amazing Spider-Man Collection (Blu-ray)

MOVIES! Across the Spider-Verse's release inspired me to finally finish off my collection of Spidey's cinematic starring roles (now I'm only missing Infinity War and Endgame) while the latest TMNT film starts off a whole new era for the franchise. (I was originally going to opt for the normal 4K release, but the Walmart-exclusive version of the Steelbook including that rad mini-poster made it irresistible. IT'S GOT FREAKING LEATHERHEAD ON IT!!)

Pokémon BW Adventures in Unova and Beyond: The Complete Season

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003): The Ultimate Collection 

More physical media fun! While the latest Pokémon set brings Unova to an end, the Turtles on the right are definitely the much bigger deal. After YEARS of being largely ignored by Nickelodeon (particularly in the realm of physical releases), they've finally, FINALLY released every episode of the 2003 TMNT series on DVD in a nice Complete Series collection. It's a legit miracle. Sure, the release isn't perfect, with particular attention given to both spotty video quality in places and the version of Turtles Forever included, but after NOTHING for SO LONG, I'm frankly just incredibly happy to finally be able have this show on my shelf next to the others. I never thought the day would come.

Sonic the Hedgehog Volume 13: Battle for the Empire
Sonic the Hedgehog Volume 14: Overpowered
Sonic the Hedgehog Volume 15: Urban Warfare
Sonic the Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island

Moving on to some books, my annual Sonic reading pile promises a showdown with Surge and Kit, the formation of the new Diamond Cutters, the return of Team Dark, and a creepy little adventure starring Mecha Sonic. Definitely a lot of Sonicy fun to look forward to!

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Necessary Evil Part 2 Deluxe Edition 

Mighty Morphin/Power Rangers Book 1 Deluxe Edition 

Didn't get any PR comics last Christmas, so I decided to more than make up for that this year by finally catching up on the Deluxe Edition hardcovers. Now I'll be able to experience the saga of the new Green Ranger! Also thrown in is the somehow-even-more-bonkers sequel to MMPR/TMNT, featuring everyone from Slash to Dinosaur Mutant Rangers. That should be a fun one to bust out on a rainy day.

LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog Shadow's Escape Set

SpongeBob Comics Volume 1: Silly Sea Stories

Yu-Gi-Oh! Minifigure (Got Dark Magician!)

Also scored a couple rad things from my sister's family. The Shadow set gives me my first taste of the LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog line (unless you count the Dimensions set from 2016) while the first collection of SpongeBob Comics adds to the illustrated nautical nonsense on my shelf. Rounding things out is a tiny Dark Magician figure from a blind bag. 'Cuz why not?

$50 Amazon Gift Card
Bluetooth Earbuds

Finishing things off, some dear family friends who didn't have the opportunity to drop by for Christmas last year gifted me some Bluetooth Earbuds (always handy to have spare headphones) and 50 bucks of Amazon cash. (You'll see how I'm gonna spend it in the next post.)

That's all 2023 wrote! Thanks for reading, and I wish you all the best in 2024!
