What's the oldest thing you enjoy on a daily basis?
-
Fountain pens. They don't make custom alloys of gold specifically for their nibs any more because they're not ubiquitous. An old "wet noodle" italic Parker or Waterman is a writing experience to behold.
Try out fudepens too. Fountain pens, but with a brush end. Sometimes they're refillable (my preference), sometimes they're not. They make them with actual bristle brush tips, but also foam tips like calligraphy markers.
I've come to really enjoy them.

Probably this ball of water and dirt we're living on.
Grateful for it every day

My PS2. Thanks to Homebrew and some gadgets I bought I can to play a ton of games in their original hardware and it's been awesome.
I still got my PS2 with the HDD modded to load backups. Haha.

Normally, I'd answer my husband. But today, I'll say Skyrim. I picked it up again after multiple years, and I have loved and played this game since its release in 2011.
Talk all the shit you want, this is one of my favorite nostalgic kicks.

I think 13 year olds are a bit too young to get married

I'm more fond of dip pens, they are terribly impractical but for me it's a joy.
One of my favourite nibs is the blue pumpkin.

I have many things that are very old and enjoy but I don't use them on a daily basis. Maybe my typewriter is what I use more often.

Back in 1989 I had a co-worker friend who went to Jamaica and returned with a custom coffee mug with my name on it. It wasn't a cheap printed one, the letters were formed out of clay. I don't use it every day anymore, because I'm afraid it will break, but it's in my rotation. It reminds me that some people used to care something about me, for some reason.
I care about you, stranger. I hope you're doing well.

My bifocal glasses. They were donated to me last year, and some fucking how, they're a perfect match for my prescription, and have absolutely no scratches.
They were manufactured in 1988, literally 2 years before I ever got my first pair of glasses.
I didn't exactly sign up for big ass thick bifocals, but the last prescription glasses I paid for cost me $217, are scratched to hell and back, and the frames split at the nose bridge.
They're big, they're ugly, but they just fucking work, even clearer than my most recent actual prescriptions.
You can't complain when it's free!
Retro is always in. Rock it!

As far as a "thing", which I would define as an object and not a person or animal, I would have to say my two McIntosh amplifiers. I have an MC7100 and MC7108.
Both were built in 1992. I am listening to the MC7108 in my office as I write this.

Video games in general, I've never stopped playing them.
There was a period of time where I thought I stopped liking them. But it was just because everything new was trash (early access slop or f2p nonsense) or my anti-genres.

Earth?
But to give more sensible answer: Computer Chronicles, and it's on YouTube.

It's my all time favourite. Brause Steno

A handmade ceramic mug I bought when I first got out of homelessness. Probably about fifteen years old now. It's white with a flared base and motif of a bison on it.
Gonna need a pic mate
