As stated in the title. I updated to Sequoia 15.7.7 a few weeks ago, and ever since then I've been have a ton of video lagging. Internet connection is strong - I'm operating in the same places as before (work and home), and there's a significant difference. I'm closing tons of stuff (which i did not have to do before) and I've cleared the cache. I've attached an image of my operating system and my activity monitor. Getting annoying - anyone have some insight on the issue? Oh also, since the upgrade my battery is heating up a bit more than usual and drains faster. I suppose that could be a potential culprit but the issues seemed to coincide exactly when I upgraded.

This post is an update to my post last week here

I only have so much room for display, so I decided to display the main stuff from the years that I actually placed with Joes. This also shows many of the small vehicles that I started collecting once I finished collecting figures, accessories, and file cards. I also have a few great custom makers and some of the new figures from companies that are creating figures as a tribute to the ARAH era of Joes.

I hope you enjoy!

While i had GI Joe figures as early as 1983 (born in 1981), I eventually switched from play to collecting. From 1997, until 2023 or so, I set about collecting all of the ARAH line figures, with all file cards, and all accessories. I did so largely from the help of online group, buying and selling lots on Ebay, and perusing vintage stores wherever I went.

My parameters for collecting were to complete all the figures: every accessory and file card that would have originally come with the figure. I was never too into vehicles - so I was really just focused on completing the figure line. I also decided that my version of being a "completist" would mean that I would approach "completion" from the perspective of a child. For example: if I was a kid and I had sent away for Starduster, I wouldn't care about getting a slightly different version (if I had even known that there was a difference) - I would think "I already have that figure". The same thing for the original versions of Steel Brigade. However, if I was a kid and I saw the Gold Head Version, I would think "that's a different figure - I need him!". So I didn't get too into variations of figures to complete my collection - I wanted one complete version of every distinct figure from the perspective of my child self. I believe that resulted in a total tally of about 523 figures.

I have since began collecting some of the smaller scale vehicles as well, and have been working on displaying them. I'll post that in the future.
