What Was Your Last Purchase?

monster ultra. didn't have time to buy a weird pumpkin like i wanted though

New Boots

New Caps

New Socks

Tales of Arise Soundtrack on CD (7!!!)

Bought some sugar, made and canned 6 quarts of grape juice.  Nothing quite like fresh and home made.

Three new Cherry Audio synths:

golden arches east: mcdonald's in east asia (2006)

The latest thing I bought was Blasto, the Official Strategy Guide. It is out of print but I was able to get a copy of it by contacting the writer of the book, who had a spare of it in good condition to sell. I also got it signed by him and the lead programmer of the game (Dylan Cuthbert).

.

I think that the best run-ins with celebs or idols tend to be some of these smaller, underappreciated artists, because there seems to be more of a recognition of the fan as a person, rather than just part of a throng of them.

Two French baguettes. Yummy.

Energy drinks

2x Nintendo Switch Game Storage Case

3x Crates Flavoured Water

Some game soundtracks (Zelda: Skyward Sword, Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent, Nier Replicant, Tales of Arise)

Yesterday was my birthday, and Dad emailed me a $100 Amazon gift card. Wasted no time putting it to good use.

Bought 2 Noctua NF-A12x25 chromax.Black.swap fans (Awesome fans, but expensive!*) and a 2-pack of Y-Splitter cables. Now I am using the NF-A12x25's as exhaust, and the NF-F12 iPPC-3000's as front intake to create a positive pressure setup in my case (the iPPC fans have a higher CFM rating at max RPM, but boy, are they loud).

I also bought a 2-pack of EPS 8-pin extension cables for my power supply. I was doing some cable management and found that the stock EPS cable couldn't reach the power connector from behind the motherboard tray. This baby did the trick. Now the stock cable won't be sticking out like an eyesore.

*I bought the fans as a 240mm AIO Upgrade bundle, which not only came with NT-H2 thermal paste, but lowered the price of each fan to $29.22, compared to $32.90.

I bought a 3D Printer - Ender 3 v2 and three spools of PLA filament (black, white and silver).

I bought one in the last three months as well, also 240GB. I haven't tested it out much but games like Subnautica and Natural Selection 2 work a lot better for me with it.

and a massage thingy for my spouse.

So far yeah. Printed a few parts for the machine, a few figures and a Millenium Falcon.

I bought all of the Batman Arkham games, as well as the Lego Batmans, and the MK11 + Injustice 2 bundle from the current Steam WB sale. I expect to have a lot of fun with these!

GOG.com had an introductory sale for Middle Earth: Shadow of War, 85% off for deluxe edition, YOINK! spent all of £6! big game tho!

Nice. I'm trying to see if I can nab Shadow of Mordor before the promotion ends.

The 2010 remaster of Pretty Hate Machine, I've been into Nine Inch Nails for a while and it's nice to own considering the number of differences between the original and the remaster, which are mostly in sound volume but there are still a few more subtle changes, such as samples being removed from some songs. I feel it makes the album slightly more cohesive than the original master, but I ain't gonna diss on anyone who prefers the original. I also think the cover of Get Down, Make Love sucks.

Honestly I got into NIN a couple of years ago and i love the Pretty Hate Machine album and the Fragile album as well. But yes the cover of Get Down, Make Love sucks. I don't know why he added it but hey i don't make music...i just make doom maps.

Since it's my birthday next friday (yup hitting the 30 club, i'm about as old as Wolfenstein 3-D), i bought myself a new xbox controller, coffee and Project Warlock for the xbox and may i say Project Warlock *gasm* is so fucking good for an retro fps game.

Some COBI model tanks and aircraft, specifically Tiger II, Renault R35, TOG II* and AU-1 Corsair. I was a huge LEGO fan when younger but COBI is also high quality and does military models, and does not require you to sell your kidneys to afford a small pile of blocks.

I just bought Her Story on Steam, because Sam Barlow's games are at a hefty discount. I'm intrigued to play this one. I also purchased Shenmue I & II, which are games that I always heard of, but will be playing for the first time. I plan to buy more games that are part of the current SEGA Megamix Sale, including the infamous Aliens: Colonial Marines, to see how much TemplarGFX's mod can improve the game.

Nier: Automata, The end of YoRHa Edition, Nintendo Switch!

Got me this, been wanting it for a while

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition on Switch. This bastard is so rare nowadays that a physical copy goes for 129,99$CAD (before tax) in most actual retailers. So I said "nah no way" and grabbed a copy brand new off ebay for about 85$CAD, which is still expensive because Nintendo never drops their prices but also it's cheaper than a brand new game regardless of the platform.
