Got a couple of things just in post. Haven't tested anything, so I'll just describe what it is, and update later as I use those things.
Not pictured a pair of bike mudguards -- couldn't pick anything from SKS that would fit, so ended up getting some Enlee 820, will install them tomorrow.
>bike stuff
>grease gun
Feels sturdy and smooth. I hope it won't get much use, since I swear to never ever ever ever buy an old bike, so there are no loose or caged ball bearings anymore. But I can still use it on threads and axis.
>valve tool
I need to redo my tubeless setup, and the provided valve core remover is very small and I lose it all the time. It's a piece of machined metal, so I don't think it's going to fail on me.
>console stuff
>Xbox video cables
I was buying Saturn from local classifieds and the seller threw in the original Xbox for free, but no cables or pads. Got a couple of cables for it: composite, component, and HDMI adapter. Analog cables feel very thin and cheap, the HDMI one is much better. Should work fine for my purposes, if I really like the console I'll get a decent component cable elsewhere.
>Controller adapters
I had one just like N64 for the GameCube, it's fine. And one for PS2 just like the Saturn one, it's also fine. Makes almost any modern Bluetooth gamepad work with old consoles. Probably adds some latency, but I'm no hardcore nerd to notice that.
>Saturn flashcart
I'm not paying collector prices for games I'll play once if that. And just today the announced Fenrir Lite for almost the same price as this thing. Fuck.
>Saturn 12V PSU and USB C triggers
My Sega is Japanese, I'm europoor, 110-230V, you know the drill. Instead of getting a stepdown transformer, I'll just convert it to the Type C, as I do with most of my stuff. Having a PSU, a part that fails most often, as an external device is the way to go.
