Just bought Crypt of the NecroDancer, The Talos Principle and Celeste for a combined $16. Love indie sales on PSN.
So in my country every time we have a day like 10.10 (October 10) or 11.11, all the online shopping sites have huuuuuge sales. I was able to order a new pair of running shoes for very cheap, but it's looking like they might have already been out of stock when I ordered. I'm getting no response from the store, and I'm pretty fucking annoyed. Last time I'll be falling into that trap.
Tetris Effect for PS4. That was a chill couple hours yesterday evening. -.-
Just ordered...
The Pacific (BD) - 9.99
Beetlejuice (UHD) - 9.99
District 9 (UHD) - 9.99
Those are, I think, my fourth and fifth UHD this year for 9.99, and they all came out in 2020 too. This new format can be had so cheap already.

Got hold of a musical keyboard. Never tried actually buying one before, they've just sort of fallen into ownership through other means. The last one was lost to the whimsical mistake of being left around many unrestrained pissy kittens. Anyway, the choices were many, I made a stab at one called Alesis CODA pro, with 88 keys as those octaves are very much not something to skimp out on. If anyone with the knowledge has any better recommendations though, I'm all bear ears, as I know nought about the subject and no financial commitment has been made yet, only a weird pre-purchase booking as the model was quite a challenge to find in stock anywhere.
I haven’t bought a DVD in a decade. Also, no longer own an DVDs and haven’t turned the player on for a decade. (Except: DVD recording of my daughter dance concert.)
I would gather that has something to do with it
Maybe. UHD has nowhere near the peak sales Blu-ray and especially DVD had.
People find it so weird and senseless when I tell them I buy and rent discs. I mainly do it because the quality difference is usually substantial. Also, ownership reasons.
Some screenshots I took for a thread elsewhere...

Look at the pixelated muck between Adam Sandler and the woman. Like partly solidified milk. In the Blu-ray, it just looks like grain.

The 5 mbps recommended for HD Netflix is far too low. I've read more than once that Netflix is one of the better ones.

I got that also, so far killing floor is neat but buggy and A-tech is only neat since its in vr.
A vape mod, VooPoo's Drag S. I know exactly what this sounds like, but I'm not an "addicted" smoker; I don't smoke for the nicotine; I can go days without a smoke if I'm occupied; I smoke for the habit, having something in my hands during idle time. Vaping isn't entirely that much better, but at least it doesn't have the tar and carcinogens, plus, the myriad flavors make it more the hobby I want it to be, and less the deadly habit I need to kick. I last vaped in 2015 for about a year, and only got back into smoking when my old mod broke, and during the period I was trying to choose another one, I got frustrated and bought a pack of cigarettes as a cop out.
My Black Friday and Criterion 50 percent off shopping is done.
I've watched all the discs now except Apu, Il sorpasso and the last movie in Six Moral Tales. Rented the first three in the Apu trilogy from Netflix a few years ago. Annoyingly, they never got the third movie.
The following arrived today. Except Sisters, which I watched a few days ago.
I've still only seen Fellini's Nights of Cabiria (three times), 8 1/2, La dolce vita and La strada. This collection has those and eleven other movies. Been hoping for this collection ever since Bergman got his two years ago.
