My dice tower saga: from a $60 store buy to cardboard and tape

I used to buy fancy dice towers from shops, spent like $60 on one with velvet lining and it still sounded like a cat falling down stairs. About 3 months ago I tried making one from a cereal box and some packing tape, just to see if I could. Now my group actually prefers the cardboard one because the dice tumble out in a weird, chaotic way that feels more random. The $60 tower sits in my closet, I keep telling myself I'll sell it but honestly it's just a paperweight now. Anyone else downgraded their gear on purpose and found it works better than the expensive version?

Hold up, let me defend the fancy tower. That velvet lining is supposed to absorb sound, not make it worse. And a cereal box is gonna fall apart in a month, leaving you with tape scraps and crushed corn flakes on your table. Plus, the whole point of a quality tower is consistent rolls, not chaotic tumbles that make you question if the dice are even fair. You paid for precise engineering, so use it or admit you just like the janky vibe.
