Could be a video game, model kit, music album, anything.

I bought a Serta desk chair last night to replace an otherwise fully functional desk chair I already had. <_<

Bought a Battle Standard Bearer on Royal Pegasus. I still have so many tiny soldiers to paint so I definitely didn't need it...

I bought a ps5 pro in February even though I had a base ps5.

I did it because they updated Farming Simulator 25 to run at 60 fps instead of 30 fps but you had to choose that or lower graphics in the settings but if you had a ps5 pro there was no setting. It just ran at the higher frame rate without sacrificing any graphics.

So I said fuck it and upgraded because 90% of the time I never spend any of my money outside required monthly bills and I just hoard and invest it all. Its time I start letting myself enjoy it some.

I already had a 4090, but my job heavily involves AI/ML/NLP stuff and now we're tinkering around with LLMs and VLMs with robots. So I would've easily passed on this if it were just for gaming or also had 24GB vram, but the 32GB was very tempting. The computers I use at work can't compare and it's been a hassle trying to get access to the HPCs we supposedly have. Gonna use the 4090 for my living room PC as a multimedia and second AI machine

I was going to convince my boss to invest in a high end computer for us in the meantime, but the process of ordering equipment with all of the government forms makes punching myself in the junk more preferable

that 32GB VRAM alone is tempting alone just to get a bit ahead of increasing requirements.

Obviously like 10 years from now 32GB VRAM will probably be entry-level or trailing.

Too bad the 5090s are engaging in the oldest fear of man kind: spontaneous combustion

Bought a Steamdeck to use at work, and a tablet to read comics and fiction on, and listen to audiobooks.

Then I realized I don't have much time at work to use the Steamdeck, and I read comics on my computer just fine. I read books and listen to audiobooks on my phone just fine, too.

I bought an Iconic Arcade fight stick with a Raspberry Pi 4 in it. I've never had more issues with a machine just trying to get it to load things properly. I'm half tempted to sell it and get a proper cabinet instead, but I was holding off because I may have to move for work, and I don't want to ship the damn thing across country.

I have been buying/collecting a ton of games as of recently. As far as unnecessary and costly ones go, well say that 3D Tetris on the VB was probably at the top of the list.

I only need Waterworld and Jack Bros to complete that collection, but cant see anytime soon where Ill have the stomach and can justify dropping all the cash needed to obtain those.

Got a new guitar. It wasn't super expensive, just $250 after shipping. But it looks cool and lots of people say the brand (Jet Guitars) is a really good value for money.

I 100% do not need another guitar, I have 8 already. But this one is seafoam green so maybe I do need it.

Seafoam green sounds like a nice colour, definitely necessary

VB games are a good thing to collect, because there's a clear end point. A few of them are even fun.

Got ahold of the rare Galax RTX 2070 super pink edition gpu

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/75c3f4ae.jpg

I was searching for this shit for years, and gave up hope of ever finding it, but found someone selling on ebay, and just had to jump on it. Yes, a 20 series card isn't impressive, but still capable, and an upgrade from what i had. Had to pay a prem, but fuck it i wanted it! Wonder who else has it at this point.
