It's getting close 
I find it fun though, just to see what I can find each time...none of it is all that exciting I know...I do love finding games and books (especially the gamebooks and CYOA) from my childhood (70s-early 80s)
the computer/video game stuff is getting very thin though.

Settlers of Catan is one of my favorite board/card games. I'd love to find some CYOA books but I already have a space issue.

the one set I never seem to find, but would really like to get are the "You Are An Interplanetary Spy" ones, I have yet to see any in the thrift stores or even the 2nd hand bookshops.
If I remember correctly they were similar to the CYOA, but also had puzzles you had to solve.

I absolutely loved Until Dawn. It was like playing an old fashioned horror movie. I'll play it again some time next year and try some other choices.
Enjoy your system!

Visiting an old uni friend and he just gave me an Amiga 4000 ec030 and an Amiga 500 plus. Both have their original batteries (removing asap). But both boards look like new

Very nice! We all need friends like that.

Bought a PS4 Pro, had a spare 1tb SSD kicking round the house, so the PS4 has that now. Also got Fallout 4, Infamous (Came with the console, and much to my surprise, both are really good games) and of course Final Fantasy XV.
Loving it so far.
And to answer any questions, PS4 Pro looks ace on a 4k tv with HDR. Also makes games run smoother and sharped on my old 1080p tv, so worth it for me.
Worth for most people? Probably not, but I had some spare xmas cash and sold my regular PS4 to fund it. If you already have a ps4 but no 4k tv, don't bother to be honest, not enough of an upgrade.

Ever since my Mac case was destroyed in an attempt to retrobrite it I've been looking for a case to replace the damaged one. I picked this machine up just for for the case. It was unimaginably dirty and appeared to have been in water at some point so I thought it dead. I tore it apart, cleaned it up and after everything it now works fine. Even better it turns out to be a week 45 1984 original Macintosh. My other machine after checking the serial was actually a Mac 512 so this is a better item for my collection.
