Those things are pretty cool, but I don't know that I could trust them against the elements or whatever else with all of my stuff. I'm sure the pretty sound, but how sound?

My dad had a huge one of those built, just shy of 400 sqft iirc.  He used it to store books for his business, kept it all cool with 2 window ac units.  Texas is pretty fickle with weather in general and it served well.  I think now it's mainly just storage in general.  It's basically a house.

Like ignition said, t’s basically a little house. I have window unit AC and an electric heater. I just run them when I’m out there. I have to get a little ahead of it with the AC, but it stays pretty comfortable.

Four Atlantic media shelves I've put together and STILL.... not enough room to display all of my stuff properly. Most of my 7th gen stuff still needs somewhere to go. I never thought I would need 5 massive hulking shelves to accommodate all of my stuff. I should have just order like 10 of them, and return what I didn't use. My goal is to manage these shelves, keep rid of excess, and keep the growth of my collection confined only to what this new self space will allow. Hard to do that when I can't get enough shelves to house what I already have.

I dove into that dirty, dirty world of gacha (sp?) for the first time with Tales of Crestoria. I figured I'd give it a look since I'm a huge fan of the Tales of series, and it hasn't cost me anything so far. Really, I'm in it for all of the cameos.

Sadly, the game is meh. Cluttered menus. Boring battles. Nothing that really makes it feel like a Tales of. It's nice to see some favorite characters (Eleanor, Rita, Arche, etc.) in another title but it just doesn't feel like the next Radiant Mythology I was hoping it would be.

Oh well.

And what in the actual Hell is with my PSN Trophy score? I mean, I'm not complaining that it's at 385 when it used to be a lot lower but...

Telly showed this to me and I thought it was his account acting up. But, I just refreshed my trophy list and now it's in the hundreds. Weird.

They're doing some sort of refresh / revamp in preparation for the PS5.  That may be part of it.

As Cartagia pointed out, this is all in preparation for the PS5. You should've gotten an e-mail about it, otherwise check here.

Interesting. I'm en route to another platinum now so I'll be interested in seeing these changes.

Ouch. To add to the list of things Covid has messed with this year, apparently shipping from Japan to the US is another one.

I bought a game I've wanted for a while (for a great price) and it ended up getting cancelled due to shipping restrictions. Oh well. The seller was kind about it.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat; I ordered a game from an European seller and it's been already two whole months since I made the order. I guess the game is either stuck or outright lost at this point.

On April 24, Japan Post halted shipments to the US and the only way to get anything from Japan was to use DHL and high shipping cost. Admittedly, I have been unaware of what changes may have happened since mid-May, which at that point I stopped buying internationally.

It looks like right now, Japan Post will only ship surface to US from Japan:

I'm presuming that "surface" is the boat shipment, with the classic 1-3 months delivery time.

I believe so, I've got at least one package coming that way right now, I think.  I've got tracking and it left Japan Sept 22nd... no updates since then.  I just get to be pleasantly surprised around Christmas.  ::)

The Sword of Etheria. I found the listing entirely by happenstance; the seller was offloading part of his collection at really nice prices.
