Topic: Gaming Tat (...Return of the Tat!)

@FuriousMachine cheers 🫡 haha, I myself almost looked into beard rings/beads a while back, but I always end up growing and shaping a beard I'm pleased with that's probably a little too short for using them, and then I end up shaving it off to start again 😂 and I did wonder if they'd end up being a hassle to use too regarding showering, re-threading or whatever.

https://celticwebmerchant.co.uk is actually pretty decent for all kinds of historical bits and bobs and they have lots of traditional wares if you ever want to peruse more of that kind of stuff

@GirlVersusGame I believe that happens occasionally. I assume the thread creator was a British fellow, and I'm not sure if the word is one of universal usage. I believe you are a collector of memorabilia and/or 'stuff' though, picked up on from maybe your tv or movie thread posts, so I dare say you'll fit right in on this thread too 🫡 (even if we aren't all necessarily stabbed and inky)

@Ravix howdy, sorry if that was too much info. I think I thought you were looking for storage ideas but sometimes I forget that at this point my collection is large (well I remember when packing to move like now lmao 🤣) so it’s more than expected. I don’t spend a lot of time on push square and attempted at one point to mimic this thread on Nintendo Life but it was sorta dead. I didn’t really post my collection on that thread (I simply talked about it or posted links to the retail page of what I have.) I keep meaning to take pics but it takes so long to set up and I am the only one in my IRL friend group that has an extensive collection (i still think it’s small but I might be wrong at this point as it is in every room lol including gamer kitchenware. ) so i always forget. I also get paranoid about over sharing on the internet.

Since moving will require me to replace and add some storage furniture maybe I will remember to take pics.

@Ryu_Niiyama I really enjoyed the breakdown, I just put it in a weird way, as usual 😅 It's not too much information, although I may have to re-read it a few times tomorrow to take it all in (😜) and yeah I was initially interested in the display element, but, as there was so many things, and it seemed like quite the impressive collection, it made me think of the 'tat thread' and, as I've just got on the tat train once more with the Ghost of Yotei CE pre order, I thought maybe this thread could get a revival with a few people chatting in the article about their collecting habits anyway 😁

@GirlVersusGame oh yeah, you have all your tat in boxes, that was it 😛 was it you that had the gaming advertising posters and things? That's the tat, memorabilia, collector's editions, merch, bits and bobs.

And I very much respect using genuine wood for shelving, and reclaimed is a bonus. It's also why I kind of want the tat I collect to lean away from the usual plastic stuff, but it can't be avoided a lot of the time, I suppose. At least some stuff can continue to have a use beyond just being binned in future. It's also why I was trying to find a more traditional Japanese mask before committing to the Yotei one, which is probably some kind of plastic 😬

@Ravix I am slowing down on collecting as I sorta have my major fandoms represented… just gotta get the Assassins Creed statues I want, the last of my star trek figures (i have one left on preorder), and small stuff like the ghost of yotei and I am saving for 3 lego sets. After that I am gonna sit down. I should, barring a financial crisis, be at my new place until I finish school (so several years) so my hope is to do a furniture assessment (especially since I will have access to my wood working tools and a workspace) and finally display everything I have. But yeah I may pop in here from time to time after I move because my collection will be front and center as I collect items from storage and put them away. Also the way you worded it wasn’t weird. I think I got excited because nobody asks me about my stuff and then I just kept typing lol.

I am a little miffed as my move wasn’t planned originally (my new neighbors are horrible so I am moving to get away) as my plan was to get my telescope serviced (got a used one for a fantastic price but it needs some love. )

Edit: the GoT mask is a resin so it’s pretty solid. Not a cheap plastic feel at all. I expect the yotei mask to be similar.

@Ravix I have arrived, lol. How do i post pictures on here?

@CrispyMango92 ah, yes. Welcome 🫡 I use the site imgur. But the basics of it is to upload ypur photos somewhere that creates either a "bbcode"... or an html link to the picture and you can manually add [img]your photo's html here[ /img] to post it on the site here.

@Ravix Sorry mate, I forgot about this, but then I remembered, so I checked my bookmarks.
It's a Scandinavian site, though I guess Google translate or similar would do the trick. Unfortunately, it looks like they don't ship outside Scandinavia, though, so that sucks (even though they seemingly ship from Germany, so if you find something you simply must have, I guess it could be worth shooting them an email or something. I have ordered from them, so they are on the up-and-up)
Anyway, here's the site: https://viking-larp.com/

@FuriousMachine cheers 🍻 it does seem it is a fairly similar type of shop to https://www.celticwebmerchant.co.uk then
And to a lesser extent https://www.theknightshop.com which is more for arms and armour

During KCD 2's release I found https://www.wulflund.com but the shipping to the UK requires a biiiiig spend for brexit based reasons 🤦‍♂️ they have some lovely tat and a lot of period gear, art and crafts, though.

@HallowMoonshadow I have no idea what that is, but I kind of love it 😅

@GirlVersusGame Thank you and ohh, that sounds pretty good actually. I'll have to try that out sometime! But here's most of my collection! I have some other things but they're kind of spread out in other places. When I get a house, I'll have to get more cabinets.

@Ravix I got it, thanks!

@CrispyMango92 looks great. The case does really add to the whole effect too, you know. Nice one

@Ravix it’s a bit cluttered but It’ll have to stay that way until I get a second one. Do all the pictures load? Only 3 of them load for me on my phone.

@CrispyMango92 yeah, all loaded for me. I guess the cabinet is pretty full thinking about it, but I think you get away with it as overall it still looks impressive.

Just a heads up to any Spidey fans. You can get the PS5 Spider-Man 2 CE for £130 on PS Direct in the sale. 19 inches of Venom and a steelbook to house your digital game code 🙃 If I didn't have an almost personal vendetta against the game design I'd be tempted 😛

Too 'tat' ... or cool 'tat'? 🤔😅 releases in October from the CDPR store

@Ravix Just had this come into my inbox.

https://www.kingdomcome-store.com/en/katalog.php?term=comic&a...

@JohnnyShoulder ooh yeah, I think I heard about a comic via Reddit or something. Not sure if it will make its way to my collection, but cheers for the heads up.

How come you are on the KCD mailing list? Even I don't have any KCD merchandise alerts 😅

@Ravix I have no idea, I must have left a box unticked somewhere!

Any big Helldivers fans might be interested in this
