PS5 Slim. Price was good so I thought “Fuck it”
Congrats! Same, including the "Fuck it" but mine is digital and to get the great price, I had to also buy the newest Madden game... on disc! Right now, the disc add-on is $80. I've seen it for $50 so I'm holding out. Also got this so I'll have about 4.8 TB.

8 TB cost a fortune, so, settling on this.
I've been a PS+ member since around 2013 and have a number of PS5 games to download as soon as I receive and set it up.
Also, g-d help us, Steam Sale. My crying wallet.
Picked up this for only $3.00.

I’ll probably be fine with the 1TB drive since I’m mainly planning to use it to play games like Lego <insert IP> with my kids and they aren’t patch or DLC heavy compared to say, Call of Duty. And if it becomes an issue, 2TB as an expansion will be fine cos that’s more than my actual gaming PC has and I’ve a stupid amount of games on there.

Ahh, tempting for the Crysis remasters, but I have all the other games.
I have Crisis 2 and 3 already but no longer have 1, so, nice to have that back in my collection. 1 has been truly polished up. There are improvements in 2. I'd think I need to play 3 side by side with not polished 3 to tell a difference.

I highly recommend them. Es.
Pecially if you are playing on consoles for Crysis 2&3.
I'm exclusively pc. I did play a little of Crysis 2 but it didn't really grab me. But, I think I also had other games I wanted to play at that time.

I have a number of games downloading onto the onboard memory now. For most people, it is likely fine.

Also found out it can be dangerous how you charge the controller. Many (most?) ordinary cell phone chargers may have the wrong output. Got this on Black Friday sale to do the trick.

Some worthless piece of shit on the bus stole my Bontrager Ion Pro RT. Without a front light, I had to take the bus back to the previous station to catch the bus that I normally skip because it makes too many turns and stops before getting me home, and I barely caught it after too many people got on before I could get off the bus. Had to shout at the driver to please open the door. Ordered another set. Hope it gets here soon. Have to take the lights off and put them on each time now. The bike mounts are inside those buses.

Bought a butane insert for my zippo because I'm tired of the lighter fluid constantly evaporating from it and it being empty whenever I actually need it.

Turns out the butane insert came with a normal zippo also packaged in, so now I have an extra lighter. It also turns out that the one I bought doesn't come pre-filled (some of them do, it depends on the jurisdiction where they're sold, probably a safety thing), so I still can't use it because I forgot to also buy butane. -_-

A sign of wisdom. The term, "Paid Off" means a lot more than, "Brand New!"
Tell me about it. I finally paid my car off about 4 years ago; I was so excited to have it paid off, I doubled my final payment to pay it off a month early. Aaaaaaand, I was furloughed like a week later and would really have preferred that "extra" few hundred dollars in my bank account at the start of quarantine when a paid-off car I couldn't drive anywhere felt a lot less like the relief it should have. Yeah, COVID robbed me of the joy of saying "paid off."

I went to a retro game fair today. Snagged a copy of Wario World for €30, which usually goes for at least €60. Good get. Kinda surprised, because due to circumstances I'd only arrived several hours after doors opened, and by that time all the best deals are usually gone. Also got the Jack & Daxter trilogy and Rayman 3 for another 18 total.
