    I swore I’d never pay full price for a game charging $70, but a sibling who I don’t get to see very much anymore recently got it and is super excited to play it with me. I figured the extra cost is worth the good memories and bonding.

    Replaced a 500GB m.2 with a 4TB so I could comfortably put cachyOs and win11 on the same drive and free up a different drive for whatever.

    My honey was complaining that the memory foam mattress was too soft, so I ordered a king sized 14" firm one.

    Holy hell that thing is heavy and a total pain in the ass to get up stairs.

    Now we have to wait 48 hr for the thing to unshrink as it blocks the entire dining area.

    A vintage lava lamp. I’m justifying it in my head because it’s dropped $60 since I first added it to my watchlist.

    I got into a pretty rough accident so I bought Metal Gear Solid V again (not on sale), so I could play laying down on my handheld. I figure it cost me $40 for at least 100 hours. Cheaper than a movie but I really shouldn’t be spending $40 right now.

    A much needed soldering station. It’s not a WS81, but I don’t need that many watts, as I only solder tiny stuff. I still consider a Weller WE1010 a bit of a splurge, though. At least when compared against the shitty one that finally broke a couple of days ago, it’s a massive upgrade.

    Sadly, DHL has my package in hold for unknown reasons.

    I moved to an area that has a lot of steep hills, so I splurged on a front hub motor e bike conversion kit for my 18 speed. Now maybe my out of shape self can make it to town and back.

    Got me a pair of AirPods Max. Used, refurbished. Fantastic for what I need them for.

    Not for me, but for my son who just entered a school that hands out a lot of homework, I bought him a desk with adjustable motorized height, so he can turn it into a standing desk if he wants, if he gets fidgety.
