I bought a silly game that just launched called Escape From Duckov. Played it for three hours straight! It's kinda addicting.
ICECREAM. the answer is always icecream with me
Sonic popsicle. It wasn't great lol
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 :)
Bought the Lego Game Boy two weeks ago. Haven't played with Legos in a long long time, since I was a kid. But this was a really fun set to put together.
A hedge maze which was way more fun than I thought it would be be.
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 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.
pad thai

I splurged recently on a china cymbal for my drum kit! It's pretty exciting, I haven't upgraded my kit in ages.
Good for you! Sounds like it was about time. Hope you make the most out of it. :)
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.
Warhammer Quest 1995 and Aeon Trespass Odyssey.
Literally right now, my daughter and I split an ice cream cookie sandwich after a long day of cleaning. It's the simple things.
A tuna hoagie and some chips.
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!
I was Bad and bought a couple hundred dollars of stuff for my painting hobby
Sometimes being bad feels so good though lol
I hope your new supplies aid in painting something cool!
Three oliebollen, what a delightful start to a depressing day at the office!
Yesterday work was really exhausting, so I treated myself to the best Döner Kebap I know of
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 bundle for the Switch 2. Partly a treat for me, partly for my kids. I want them to play it like I did when I was a kid. 😊 Although the games look so much better on a 65" OLED than they did on my thicc TV back in the day. But that's okay. I'm enjoying the updated graphics too. It doesn't take away from the experience.
Nothing. Literally nothing. My wife have been on necessities only all year. Mmmm. I mean since junk food is cheap a few things there. kitchen sink cookies. they actually have a very good price per ounce.
I bought a tv to use as a monitor and have been getting all the bits and bobs together to make it work well.
Some seeds for the garden. Purple cauliflower.
I've been desiring to get back into videography as a hobby for a few years now. And after I upgraded my smartphone to a Galaxy S23+, which has greater camera sensors than my previous Pixel 2, I knew it was time to get myself a phone gimbal. I chose to go with the Hohem iSteady M7. It's got a learning curve to it that I wasn't expecting, really. So I'm still better learning and remembering how to use it still. Should be fun though, in a month from now.
QT 🙂
