I used to, but I went through a period where I couldn't afford anything better than the barest of bones netbooks, and those things basically fell apart as soon as the warranty was up, and I just got out of the habit of investing any personality in my computers. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's bring those back, too.) It was like an Easy Bake, but it had pewter moulds you poured liquid plastic into and baked. We had dollies and bugs. The bugs were the best--I wish we still had them, they'd make great cheap proxies for miniature games. The dollies' heads were too big and their necks too weak, so they were always becoming headless. I haven't thought of these in forever! My sister used to be big into baking and had some of these she used as molds for sugar candy. Then she'd decorate cakes with them. If I'm remembering correctly they tasted terrible but what self respecting kid wouldn't go nuts over a cake covered with sugar bugs? Great times! 5 hours ago, Glitterwolf said: WEEKEND Question July 30th / August 1st. Do you like to pimp your PC/Laptop/mousemats etc? For example personalised mousemats/laptop sleeves etc etc?

But the last laptop I purchased has lighting effects behind the keys on the keyboard that change colors. Didn't realize that was the case when I bought it, but it's kind of neat. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit of a minimalist in this case. The only thing I "pimped" are my paint caddies with the Reaper stickers I've gathered during ReaperCon(s).

I have backgrounds of desolate, rocky, desert landscapes that remind me of Mad Max/Athas. Thanks for being the Inquisitor! ;) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mousemat is just a plain black square that I actually got free with the computer. My satchel that I carry my laptop in is just a plain black rectangle. My headphones are just plain black headphones. At least the laptop is silver, so that adds some variety. And here's my screensaver. Also plain and largely black. Thanks for hosting, @Glitterwolf! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a few years back, i bought three nearly identical laptops - one for me, one for my wife, and one for my work. In order to tell them apart, I cut some designs from vinyl on my craft cutter - my wife got a fairy on her lid, and my work one got a Tardis. I don't recall what mine had, cause it failed shortly after the warranty expired and I had to replace it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it was post choking lawsuit, so it had the giant red ball "bullets" for the guns. It's probably in the attic too....... 10 hours ago, Glitterwolf said: WEEKEND Question July 30th / August 1st. Do you like to pimp your PC/Laptop/mousemats etc?

My screen saver is "turn screen off" and the closest thing I have to a mouse pad is a 4'x6' battle mat. My laptop is provided by work and has... .*checks* a blue background with a stylized window. There might be a work related screen saver but when I lock it the monitors go black. The only time I've really made an effort to put on a background was my last job, because they would force out a corporate one that annoyed me, so as soon as they did I'd switch it back to a picture of my car. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was this game which had cards and plastic stackable jewels.... it had some sort of fantasy theme... I wish I could get that again, though I don't even remember the name or how to play, just a very positive feeling and a memory of spending hours with that game by myself 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My computer is unadorned, and I only upgrade it enough to be able to use the games that I really want to play. Not really big on screensavers anymore, I prefer the screen to be dark because it's less distracting.

I can't recall what I have on it right now as I tend to not shut my windows down. I do have stickers of various stuff on the lid & next to the touchpad. On my home computer my background is whatever I found on MS's background downloads. Some sort of desert night picture. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I don't think sugar bugs baked in Creepy Crawler moulds could possibly be healthy. I'd be careful around large magnets... My sister used to make Easy Bake "cakes". My poor grandma would eat them. She is presently 87 years old, so maybe there's something to it? The pizzas were by far even worse. The cheese smelled like vomit, so you can imagine how tasty they were. Sisterly love doesn't go that far. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
