Maybe it was a purchase, maybe an experience? What did you treat yourself to?

It’s Friday afternoon. Good time for beer and papadums.
A motorcycle, always wanted one and figured now is a good time.
Hell yeah! And who downvoted his/her treat to themselves? A real turd in the punchbowl eh.
Lunch.
A 36€ m710q Thinkcentre tiny.
You know, as a backup for my m710q Thinkcentre tiny.
Why do I search for that and only find it between $200 and $1000? Granted it’s AUD but still, where do you find this for less than a rpi?
On ebay.fr, no power block but otherwise complete. Mostly they go for more like 60-70€ shipping included, but sometimes you get lucky!
Ah, the ol’ “buy two of them” strat for backup and repair planning.
Made cookie brownies (brookies?). They were pretty good.
Tim Hortons does in fact call them Brookies
I’m slowly allowing myself to eat more after a long history of dealing with an ED :)
What’s ED?
Eating Disorder
Nice! ED’s are rough, I wish you the best in your recovery.
I had a margariga in a glass as tall as me.
Okay, so, Monday I went to 2 thrift shops and 2 pawn shops because we weren’t able to that weekend. I ended up spending around $50USD on 5 games.
First lawn shop I got Jak 1-3 on PS2 alongside final fantasy X on PS2 for a little over $20 at one pawn. I’ve 100%ed the first Jak years ago and was part way through Jak 2 when I lost my console and games. Same way I lost FFX with my partway completed save.
Then at the other pawn shop I got PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royal and Crash Bandicoot Twinsanity for around $27, I think. Would need to check receipt, if I still have it.
All games I used to have and enjoy. All I gotta do is see if there is a way to unlock PS3 DLC for free without system mods because I don’t think my brother would be too keen on his systems being modded.
Bought some lavender bubble bath and had a 2 hour hot bath with a book and relaxing music.
Bought a game called Slay. It’s one of the most elegant turn-based games I’ve ever seen. Xisuma made a video series about it. Highly recommend watching the first video if that sort of thing interests you.
I got a personal mixer for band practice, so I can mix my own voice monitor-audio louder then the band without touching the main mix. I had this setup working with more cables and a larger mixer, now it’s just 2 cables and the mixer clips to my belt. Glorious, less hassle, more jamming and it all fits in 1 bag now!
P16?
I got the Xvive PX System, and I’ll be testing it out in about 2 hours :)
How’d the test go?
I bought a plasma cutter and a GPU. In the past I would get used GPU from eBay because it’s cheaper but the demand for them has made the market a little crazy and there’s very little price difference new vs used (UK). The price performance sweet spot seems to be AMD 9070xt (£550, ouch).
The plasma cutter is an old three phase machine that no one wanted because it’s 400V. However, looking at the circuit diagram there’s very little difference between single and 3-phase configuration so the plan is to convert it to a domestic supply or cannibalise the internals and torch assembly.
Comic-Con. Had a blast.
A really nice new hoover. I’m allergic to dust and every time I hoovered I’d keep sneezing for like half an hour after turning it off and emptying the bag. The new one I just pour water in a little tank and empty it out without creating a dustcloud.
Upgraded my pc that had been running with the same specs since 2013 (except a 2016 GPU), and bought oblivion remastered. Any recommendations for the first playthrough? (No spoilers please)
There’s a special house (anvil), you should try and finish that quest early for an epic payoff :). Have fun, hero of Kvatch!
