Yeah, it's what I'm going to do, but I've never done that kind of game purchasing because second had games are pretty ubiquitous around here, just not for Dreamcast for whatever reason, like it's easier to find SNES and NES stuff than Dreamcast, so yeah that's the plan for the moment.
I've been planning to buy a sports mask, as I enjoy exercising outside, but apparently none of them are actually rated for protection against Covid. Which seems misleading as fuck.
I know that cloth masks in general offer some protection, but shit if I'm going to be spending literally 100x the price of a surgical mask, I want it to offer some above average protection.

Night of the Living Dead with Werewolves. I've got to grab that edition at some point. Dog Soldiers makes pretty good live action Resident Evil that better than all of them. Irony.
I bought a new lens for my Gameboy Advance. I didn't even know it was separate from the screen until I went looking on Ebay for a new battery cover and saw that you could buy a battery cover, a lens, and a screen protector for around $10. It looks amazing now! My old one was all scratched and covered with this scratch repair coating for eyeglasses. I was stunned to see how clear everything looks through the new lens. It might even look better than new, since the one I got is glass and the original was plastic.
The battery cover isn't an exact color match though, and they sent 2 and one broke after I removed it twice, but oh well. I'm too ecstatic about being able to actually see what's going on to care about a battery cover.

It doesn't, and I will not claim to be above piracy, so I'll probably play some Dreamcast games in that manner, particularly the absurdly expensive ones, but I would like to own original copies, after all if all I wanted was to play the games they're quite easy to emulate these days.
I'm both sad that that never got a sequel and happy it didn't get run into the fucking ground like many horror franchises do(Speaking of the RE movies....)

True enough, though I've heard Dreamcast emulation is pretty good, that being said playing on an actual Dreamcast does have all those weird VMU mini-games so in this case it's probably best to play on the console to experience that.
Just go with a cloth bandana. They're cheap, and you can dress up (a little) like a cowboy.

Lost Odyssey for Xbox 360 because I've heard it's really good and a lot of medicine because I'm sick.
Hadn't touched the 360 in a really long time forgot how big and heavy it is compared to the other consoles I have.

Picked up Battlefield V on Steam for $13, mostly because it's cheap and Battlefield 1 was entertaining. So I figured, "Why not?"
Also picked up Prey for the Gods on sale, because it's been on my Wishlist forever, it's apparently a good spiritual sequel to Shadow of the Colossus and at this point why the hell not? It's not like there are a bunch of other SOTC-like game competing for my attention(I am honestly kind of curious why nobody else has really tried, since SOTC is honestly more approachable then Souls-likes are and that's an entire genre at this point).

There's an indie game published by Devolver Digital called Titan Souls that is very much in the spirit of SotC. You should check it out.
Apparently, Neil Marshall and Kevin McKidd have started making noise about a sequel recently. It was on hold for a while because Neil Marshall wasn't really interested at the time, and no one wanted to do one without him.
OT: Just got a "Loot Fright" crate. Basically, it's a mystery box you can buy on Loot Crate, which is a website, and it comes with random paraphernalia. In this case, I got:
A t-shirt inspired by An American Werewolf in London
An evil bunny figurine
A silver bullet whiskey chiller
A Little Red Riding Hood werewolf pin
And a pic of the T-shirt
Heard of it, but apparently it had issues? I checked into it around the time it came out. Honestly I haven't heard anyone talk about it in like forever.
I might give it a 2nd look.
