@FreePasta I mean, specifying some purchases are excluded from counting towards the IRK sometimes means more IRKs. So, that. Also, hoping for more meh-rchandise, because I am a glutton for punishment.
@FreePasta@Lynnerizer Well. It doesn’t say it anymore, so it was a dream or language left over from a previous offering and removed. But I’d swear the IRK description said anything not excluded. Weird.
Dangit, even if there was something I actually wanted on this Mehrathon & I bought it, $20 is too much for an IRK. Every IRK I’ve got has not been worth $20. Truth is with the IRK tote bag they might be worth $5 or $6 (for the bag).
I told my wife about this Mehrathon & she said “you don’t want another Instant Regret Kit right?” She said they should put their crap in the Texas landfills & not ours.
Then I get the feeling that maybe it will be different this time… I see others getting some decent stuff in their IRKs… maybe this time…
I spent $90 on an instant regret kit a year or two ago. True to it’s promise, I instantly regretted it… BIGLY! I got about $18 worth of fukall that I could have gotten at the neighborhood Chuckie Cheese type of an arcade. Serves me right to suffer… Serves me right to live alone.
Anybody recognize those words?
I saw the email, then groaned.

@FreePasta @mossygreen
I missed that, what items are excluded from counting towards the IRK?
@mossygreen
Wanna buy some FUKU/FUKO/IRK bags for shipping cost?

Maybe we’ll see some random IRK’s on day 2 of this belated Valentine’s Day Meh-rathon!


Likes been said… WHY NOT?
@Lynnerizer We’re thinking alike again!
@Lynnerizer Belated? 2026-02-14 is still miles away.
@yakkoTDI
The closest gets the mostest!
Oh God, there’s more? (Why?)
On the plus side, I’ve already spent my money (on snacks) so I’m out. On the other … Wait, the IRK can now include broken items??
@pakopako Wait, are you implying that IRKs can have unbroken items?
@xobzoo I mean … At one point it was supposed to have at least (barely) working stuff. I guess I can blame the track-R’s for that?
@pakopako @xobzoo I seem to distinctly remember maybe one or two of the countless TrackR Pixels I’ve been sent actually working for me
@pakopako @sleuth @xobzoo Yeah but did you have to buy new batteries?
