@Malaise yeah, I'd considered tattoos, but then I'd probably get bored and want to change them, and be one of those types who can't stop adding and tweaking stuff 😅

It is a pretty decently crafted bit of old tat, to be fair. The inner lining has a conjunction of spheres style celestial cartography lining too, but I couldn't get a good shot of that.

Aha! I too thought this was about gaming tattoos (of which I have none) and was surprised it was about various merch/memorabilia, of which I have way too much (A lovely Garrus statue from Dark Horse just arrived, with Wrex on the way).
I am not sure it is healthy for me to have discovered this thread

@FuriousMachine it very much is healthy for you. Do post some photos of your vast cache of megamerch 😁

Yousef-

@Ravix a mockery? Why, perish the thought! !!!

hoping the spell check does it's thing by the time you're done, and thus some semblance of logical words, or even full sentences, come out by the end 🙃🙃

Perhaps I do this, perhaps not. 🫣 🫣

This is me mocking me, btw. I'm genuinely not following anything well today and can't write for shiiiiiit most of the time 💀
Back to tat, that's where it's at 🤪
Anyone know the best place to buy film and game inspired swords? 😂

Me mocking me is something me would do when me mocking me, can relate 🙃 😂
No sadly I don’t know any good sites for that and silly part is that even if I did they’re likely Kuwaiti only sites so I’m as useless as a tat 💀 🤪 🙃 🫨

@Ravix I'll snap a pic of my crowded shelf when I get home over the weekend

This thread just proves how odd the English language is!

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

I just ordered the artbook for Bloodborne, as i was notified it was back in stock in the UK. A bit disappointed there is was no Design Works published for the game, as the ones I've got for Dark Souls 1 & 2 are fantastic. Still, looking forward to flicking through it and marvelling at all the designs for the characters and world.

That reminds me:

A few bits of random TW3 artwork that are in the BEEFY Darkhorse comics collection. The comics themselves are fairly good, but it's been a while since I've read them.

@Ravix finally, the Witcher tits, err, I mean tat.

Honestly, looks gorgeous. (Presumably, I’m waiting for the images to load).

@Ravix I've got that book too but mine is still in it's protective plastic for the moment. Cool to see those inside pics. That bag looks nice quality you posted earlier, I'm guessing you got that from the official CD Projekt store. I've got a nice chunky Witcher mug from there.

@FuriousMachine sweet tat!

@BearsEatBeets inside the protective... I have no words 😪 haha. I cannot do the whole collector thing with unopened stuff, myself. Did you get the regular edition comics to read, at least? 😛 I will admit it would be easier to read the individual comics as this collection is an absolute chunk haha.

Did you get any of the others? I think theres been more since this.

And yeah the bag is from cdpr, got it for way less than it's current list price though which is pretty, pretty steep 😬

Got any other merch wrapped in plastic? 😁😁

@FuriousMachine very cool collection. What is your dusting solution for it? 😅 As I may start to make a little mini collection with my KCD stuff as the main event when it arrives, but dread more stuff to dust. Flat surfaces are annoying enough as it is haha.

@Ravix It mainly stayed in the plastic as I had already read a lot of what is collected in there. I've seen there is a second volume but haven't got that yet. But yes I do also have a lot of stuff still in plastic or boxes 😁. I went through a phase of buying way too much 'tat' in the hopes of setting up a gaming room at some point. Not sure when that might happen but I'll have a ton of stuff to display when the time comes. I think I've shared some stuff on here in the past but got out of the habit of getting things as I just don't the space to store any more.

@FuriousMachine Nice collection. I especially like your ME stuff. I've got an N7 helmet and a large print of the Normandy myself.

@Ravix How do I dust them? I don't 😆Well, not often, to tell you the truth. I very lightly brush them with a swiffer duster sometimes, but after a few of them took a spill and broke (Thane is missing a hand and Ezio is liable to do a leap of faith off his platform) I let them gather dust and treat them to blasts of compressed air about once a month (or every other month... sometimes every three months... you get the picture )

@BearsEatBeets That helmet is boss, isn't it? It was the one that started me down this path with all the ME tat I've bought. I remember seeing it and thinking I was kind of envious of the people who could buy it and then it hit me that I was, at the time, one of those people. I could afford it and I clearly wanted it, so I went ahead and bought it. The other statues followed suit. Got Wrex on the way from Dark Horse, but that will likely be my last purchase of the kind, at least for now. Rent has skyrocketed recently and I've gone from being financially comfortable to slightly worried about the future. I'm looking to relocate, but prices are absurd all over town, so it's proving difficult. Hopefully I'll find a place that's more affordable and has more shelf space for my tat soon

Yousef-

@FuriousMachine should’ve asked, what’s the one you’re most proud of or happiest to own? Any fun hunt or struggle stories that come to mind?

Like it says in the book, we are blessed… and we are cursed.

BearsEatBeets

@FuriousMachine It's a great line that Dark Horse has done for Mass Effect. I've got a lot of their Witcher line but the ME ones came out after I'd reigned in my spending. Best of luck to you in finding a better place.

@BearsEatBeets Thanks and, yeah, their ME statues are great. Garrus and Wrex were the only two characters I felt my collection was missing, so I pulled the trigger on their pre-orders, even though I probably should have saved the money. I'll spend some energy on whatever mental gymnastics needed to justify the purchase and all will be well

@Yousef- No stories, really, as all of them were readily available at the time of purchase. My favourite? hmm... I enjoy them all, but the two Marvel ones, Scarlet Witch and Silver Samurai, are a cut above, in my mind.

FuriousMachine

Yousef-

@FuriousMachine I missed the listing for silver samurai when you wrote the list. Great catch!
