@aeva I've got an old one in my basement that periodically comes back to life and says something in the middle of the night and it's really creepy… I should probably either replace the batteries or remove them
@bogpunk that's amazing

@jannem it's kinda a funny story, i got into modular synthesis fully expecting it to be an expensive hobby and it kinda bottomed out when I figured out a good way to hook it up to mollytime

i've got too much stuff i don't need more stuff ;_;
@aeva I feel this in my bones
it's like a stand-off twice every year, once for my birthday and once for Christmas
my main strategy in recent years, which might be useful to you, is this: if I need new clothes/shoes/whatever within a few months of either of these, I don't buy them but ask for them as gifts instead

side thought, i'm extremely disappointed in the internet the west coast tech oligarchs came up with. i thought google and amazon spying on us all the time was supposed to make it easier to find stuff we want to buy, but even when i'm literally spelling out exactly what i want both really want to push me towards very irrelevant short tail stuff

honestly, i wish i could just ask for things like "a color palette that draws out that exact shade of dusty red earth that reminds me of something i can't quite remember", "an entire art book of assorted golden hour reference photos", "the exact terrifying shade of black/gray i saw in the starless night sky late at night on an amtrak trip last summer, why did it fill my heart with fear?", "the feeling of a mojave desert night in august", and/or "a collection of rare sounds"

"an art book of pictures that make me feel sad for no discernable reason" would be another great gift idea

@aeva you should make a wishlist that's just a list of the things in your house, and they choose which item they want to take away
