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

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.
It’s Friday afternoon. Good time for beer and papadums.
Lunch.
As in: You cooked lunch or got take out? For me either could apply.
I bought a slice of buffalo chicken pizza.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Bought some lavender bubble bath and had a 2 hour hot bath with a book and relaxing music.
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.
Made cookie brownies (brookies?). They were pretty good.
Tim Hortons does in fact call them Brookies
I had a margariga in a glass as tall as me.
I bought a silly game that just launched called Escape From Duckov. Played it for three hours straight! It’s kinda addicting.
I literally did the exact same thing. Never played an extraction shooter before and it was a spontanous purchase. Did not regret it.
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.
