Things you recently bought or got

[RAHelllord]

I wanted a dedicated PC to run some small multiplayer servers for a while now, and this thing went on sale for cheap. Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE, now with 16GB ram and some decently fast storage.

Slapped Linux Mint and Steam onto it, and now it's sitting in a corner, happily chugging along hosting a starbound server for myself and a few friends, freeing up my Steam Deck that had the questionable honor of doing that previously when I wasn't using it elsewhere.

Ordered on Prime Day sale a Dual Fan Airbrush Spray Booth, a new desk chair for my hobby shed, and some Rollerblade wheels for it. Also ordered one of those PC screen lamps. I use a USB-C powered lamp next to my PC when I play at night, but the lamp is the one I use when I build model kits, so I would rather not be constantly moving it back and forth.

Bought a Switch as it was cheap so I'll sell the parts separately to gain more in return.

The Switch works fine... It's just that it shows its age and, oh God, browsing the eShop is worse than the PlayStation Store on a PS3.

I agree it IS pretty bad, but on my end it's definitely not worse than PS Store on a PS3.

Bought this Nokia 3310 for 32$ on Aliexpress

Got some more stuff today, first of all 2 Forever Pak64 in the colors of my main N64 controllers.

TL;DR: They're FRAM based controller paks that don't need a battery to keep the save data intact, unlike OEM controller paks. They appear to work just fine and the colors match perfectly, even to the third-party Tribute64's controller dongle.

Next up a fake monitor for my ThinkCentre. Turns out no OS likes rendering a proper desktop without a plugged in monitor, and this thing fixes that by pretending to be a regular ass monitor. Makes the ThinkCentre actually usable exclusively remotely like I want to.

An artist I like made a unlicensed statue of this character, so I got one because I love piracy and supporting people that engage in it. Also because she thiccc.
Was expensive but quite frankly, for a bootleg it's amazing quality with a very professional paintjob and a lot of detail everywhere.

I recently purchased my first car, a 2023 Chevy Bolt 2LT!

I also got a Comma 3X for the dashcam.

So far I'm pretty darn happy with both and only have minor complaints about the car. It's pretty responsive, has pretty decent range and Android Auto is pretty good too.

Edit: I went to pick up the order, and they told me it was a pricing error and should have been more expensive. They said I would have to pay more for the order if I want it. I told them I wasn't going to pay for their mistake. I don't usually get angry (more annoyed than angry) about things like that, but I paid for the order with my credit card through PayPal and paid off the card immediately. So now I'm going to have extra money on my credit card, and if I transfer it back to my debit, I'll have to pay cash advance fees. So basically I'm just giving my credit card company free money at this point.

I still have about 30 to 40 CD-R from a 50-pack of Verbatim discs I bought about 7 years ago. I bought them because CDs were becoming rare in my area(now almost none existent), but I've barely used them.
