You're looking for -
What object, that you recently bought, do you really love?
I don't need a hammer drill a huge amount in my work so I always thought my old, corded Hilti was perfectly sufficient for the job. Well it broke beyond repair a while back which was a bummer but I then bought a cordless 18-volt Makita hammer drill and oh my.. I didn't realise what I was missing.
My puppy.
Hoyt Altus target bow.
New shoes. My previous pair developed holes behind the toe guard so I got a warranty replacement. My new pair is much lighter, softer, and a better design.
I always used to use basic "gaming" headsets with my PC. Recently bought a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50X headphones, they are so much better!
My M50X have been going strong for over 10 years now with a lot of use. Good solid buy!
I splurged on some really nice watercolor paper blocks (Arches cold press), tested them today and I’m obsessed.
As someone with zero artistic skills, what are paper blocks?
Paper that is Bound on all edges so it doesn’t buckle when water is added. You use a knife to peel it off after.
Yes, what Smoogs said! I use washes a lot - which means a lot of water on the paper - so wrinkling has been a constant problem with other papers. These are 100% cotton so it absorbs water much differently compared to papers made with wood pulp.
I had to buy a handful of components so I guess it counts
Built my first PC recently. Mostly it's my wife's old components after a few years of upgrades stuffed into a new case, but it's new to me. Pretty much just had to buy the case, a hard drive, PSU, CPU cooler, and a couple fans.
It's not a powerhouse by modern standards (though it was pretty beefy for its time when my wife first built it) with a pre-ryzen amd CPU, and a 970, but it's still running most of what I've been throwing at it (it helps that most of my steam library is 10+ years old)
We're a little short on space in our house, nowhere to squeeze in another desk for a computer so I built it in a HTPC case and I've been gaming on our 70" TV with surround sound with our hue lights synced up to it, and it's been pretty sweet, and astonishingly it hasn't burst into flames from being crammed in my entertainment center with limited airflow.
It's nice to be back to PC gaming, and I'm having almost as much fun tinkering with it and getting everything set up how I want it. Still a couple more tweaks to make, gotta figure out how I want to set up KODI, need to get a decent wireless keyboard and mouse, maybe a couple more controllers, find a way to enable HDMI CEC control so I don't need to fiddle with the PC and receiver volume separately, etc. and then maybe some more upgrades when budget allows
Nice pair of sunglasses. Wanted them, didn't need them, bought them anyway. My wife thinks they look nice on me. Win win.
Stupid, I know, but Victorinox nail clippers. Best clippers I've used.
I didn't know they make nail clippers, but I love their knives. That's what I prefer in my kitchen.
America's test kitchen rates them very highly!
I'm biased because Shun/Kai/Kershaw/Gerber/Leatherman/CRKT are all essentially in my back yard. LOL.
Recently got my partner a miyoo mini, it looked so fun that I got myself one too. It's been really nice to just play retro games for short moments, and because it gives me a much needed break from scrolling my phone it actually feels productive and restful. I've just finally completed Link to the Past, a game I played for the first time 30 years ago but never finished.
LTTP is so good!!!
Wooting keyboard.
A few years ago my previous keyboard broke. It was a Steelseries mechanical keyboard, Nordic layout. Got it cheap, but didn't realise it was because Steelseries completely dropped support for it; the Nordic version's key caps break easily... And so did mine.
Since then I used a cheap back lit keyboard that's a complete piece of junk. I'm no keyboard enthusiast. I just want the key I pressed to get pressed when I press it. But with the replacement keyboard, if your finger is a bit off-centre from the key, the key gets "stuck" and won't get pressed in.
I finally bought a proper keyboard from Wooting, and using it to type is actually feels good!
You know, mechanical keyboards have standardized keycaps. You can just buy replacement keycaps. Although now you have two keyboards, which is never a bad thing :)
Sleep pills because sleep is needed.
I got a tablet, nothing fancy, Lenovo M11 or something, IDK, but now I can read in bed and have a huge screen for Anki reviews, it has a little pen too, so I can practice writing Japanese characters or just doodle while reading, so far so good.
I bought a mini SNES hacked and preloaded with ALL the ROMs. It's been a few years and I still use it more than my Xbox
I recently got a molcajete (Mexican mortar and pestle) I didn’t know I needed but making guacamole with it is much more fun than using a bowl and fork.
Can also be used as a fidget toy by idly grinding some rice in it.
I bought/built a PC. It's my first custom build, and my first personal Linux system. I've turned it into a sort of glorified Steam Deck with Bazzite. The specs are absolutely topped out, and it runs excellent. I got a nice keyboard to go with it (my first linear), and I'm very happy with the setup overall.
Samsung 65" 4k120 OLED TV
Ryzen 9 9950X
Radeon RX 7900 XTX
4TB SSD
64GB RAM
Corsair K100/Nightsword RGB
FiiO K7 4.4mm -> Hifiman HE1000s
The next big step is to get a Retrotink 4K, and get some retro consoles hooked up with a beautiful CRT filter. Essentially, I'll turn the TV into a bigger, thinner and more versatile Trinitron, with all of the benefits and none of the downsides.
All in the living room. It's a killer social environment. Wait until the hookah comes..
I love my new Hush 2.0 XL. Frequently.
Our bamboo sheets are awesome, easily the softest we’ve had for not crazy prices.
😏
And they're waterproof, yeah?
