I don’t have much, but I REALLY love my bomber jacket that I bought a year ago, looks good and makes me look good, I think.

Edit: after 2 edits that title still needs adjustments…

Recently got my partner a miyoo mini, it looked so fun that I got myself one too. It’s been really nice to just play retro games for short moments, and because it gives me a much needed break from scrolling my phone it actually feels productive and restful. I’ve just finally completed Link to the Past, a game I played for the first time 30 years ago but never finished.

I got my partner one for Christmas as well. I’m hoping to setup netplay so we can play a couple games together

My last job renovated, then laid us all off. There was a 200USD laser measurer at the front desk that was untouched for a year after they renovated. Now I have a nice laser measurer!

I didn’t know how many things I needed to measure instead of guesstimate until I had this. I also carry a tape measure, but this is so easy!

They’re SO cool! I didn’t even know what it was when my partner showed it to me, but nobody knew it existed and we were getting laid off anyway so we yoinked it. When I realized what it did I was like “neeeat!”

It’s not theft, you’re just borrowing it! You’re just waiting for them to ask for it back!

Hahaha exactly!

Also, is it theft if nobody owned it? My partner worked the front desk after renovation and it was just sitting in the junk drawer… since they were selling the building, they were giving all the art that was on the walls and appliances away hahaha. We figured it wouldn’t be missed, and now I can play with my cats from a distance and know what the distance is!

I recently got a molcajete (Mexican mortar and pestle) I didn’t know I needed but making guacamole with it is much more fun than using a bowl and fork.

Can also be used as a fidget toy by idly grinding some rice in it.

I bought/built a PC. It’s my first custom build, and my first personal Linux system. I’ve turned it into a sort of glorified Steam Deck with Bazzite. The specs are absolutely topped out, and it runs excellent. I got a nice keyboard to go with it (my first linear), and I’m very happy with the setup overall.

Samsung 65" 4k120 OLED TV

Ryzen 9 9950X

Radeon RX 7900 XTX

4TB SSD

64GB RAM

Corsair K100/Nightsword RGB

FiiO K7 4.4mm -> Hifiman HE1000s

The next big step is to get a Retrotink 4K, and get some retro consoles hooked up with a beautiful CRT filter. Essentially, I’ll turn the TV into a bigger, thinner and more versatile Trinitron, with all of the benefits and none of the downsides.

All in the living room. It’s a killer social environment. Wait until the hookah comes…
