Picked up a few more UHD’s
Despite my reservations I picked up T2. It’s supposed to have very aggressive DNR making everyone look waxy. I’ve yet to watch it.
We’re just finishing the last Indy as I type and they’ve all looked fantastic and top draw.

Got a new laptop Thursday and it arrived today! 
The old laptop I have been using since 2017, while it's not dead yet, it's been running pretty hot for a while and it recently has gotten to where it makes weird noises when booting up. Not only do I think it's going to fail sometime later down the line, but I honestly have been ready to upgrade to a better computer for a while so I can run more recently released PC games since this computer wasn't really meant for it and since Black Friday deals were happening, I decided to jump on it now.
Currently on my old one right now backing up my stuff to my portable HDD so I can move to my new computer, but eventually, I'm going to migrate to it completely. When I do, I am just going to format my old one and lend it to my dad. While I kind of hate to part with my old one since it's been good to me, more so than any laptop I've had to date, I am anxious to see what this new one will be like for me!

Decided to finally pull the trigger on a Fanatec wheel. I saw they were running a Black Friday sale on their CSL EliteV2 pedals and it knocked down the price a decent bit on the CSL DD 8nm McLaren bundle, so I got myself a little Christmas present . I considered adding on the QR2 setup, but skipped it for now since the GT3 wheel should be suitable for the games I intend to use it for. Only other item I'd want to add on is a shifter, but I'm waiting to see how much I like it before throwing more money at Fanatec.
Just have to get a wheel stand (currently eyeing up the NLR Wheel Stand 2.0) to hook it on to and I'll be set tobreak my wrists go racin'.

Most of my haul from ARCHcon 2023: two posters (Arknights' Siege and Genshin Impact's Eula, a manga (Quintessential Quintuplets), a cosplay photo book, figure (Sega Super Premium Quintessential Quintuplets Movie Miku) and free pins (Dragon Maid Tohru and Quintuplets), and a fanart (Summer Time Rendering Ushio).

Well, I know I said the GT3 wheel would be all I need, but the more I thought about it the more I realized a standard circular wheel wouldn't hurt to have. Found this lovely example of a WRC CSL Elite on eBay that came with the box and a QR1 for less than the MSRP of the wheel alone new from Fanatec, and I couldn't pass it up.

Also forgot to share my latest game pickups. Favorite of this bunch is probably is Silpheed, since it has that fantastic holo-foil look that attracted me to the box in the first place.

Picked up the Pale Reach DLC for Dredge. It's supposedly really short but it only cost me just over $3, thanks to the credit I had on the Nintendo eShop.
And Amazon's Black Friday thing strikes again. Demon Souls this time. Been awhile since I last played a Soulsborne game. Saving this one for over Christmas.

I may have splurged this year:
Finally I can be super lazy but also entertained while in bed after busting my butt at work all day. I'm maaaaad comfy...
- Got this case from Amazon for it; feels very similar in materials to the Steam Deck's case, also has a cool little kickstand with cutouts for the fans. Highly recommend 👍
- Got these pillows for supporting my arms while laying in bed.

The Seagate external drive lasted about 2 weeks before it died so I returned it and, probably against my better judgment, picked up a 10TB HGST Ultrastar He10 from Amazon that came out of a data center.Seagate One Touch Hub 8TB
For $80 at Costco to have a backup drive I couldn't say no.
So far things appear to be going well.

I'm dirt ****ing poor since losing a job, but I made space to get some film developed, a guilty pleasure. This roll of film will be moments in Washington, D.C and other parts of the East Coast, as well as a trip home. I can't wait to see what these memories will look like.

Got a pair of Oakley Sutros in Prizm Snow Black.
They only let 5.5% of light through and apparently, as a Cat 4 lens, they're illegal to use while driving. So I figured it would be a great reason to try them.
Well, let me tell you, they are DARK. Like darker than Cthulu's anus. I have GTP on dark mode and I can't read people's sigs with these on. Should be great for cycling when the sun is blazing, and I can imagine these being totally awesome for migraine days. Got em for like 75% off for black friday, I figure that's justification enough to keep them.
