What was your last purchase? 2.0

Picked up my Codename 47 and Silent Assassin records. As previously discussed, I really hope they release the Contracts and Blood Money ones too.

According to the stats, Jesper Kyd is my all time #2 most listened to artist in the 8 years or so I’ve been on Spotify.

I hope you’ll enjoy it! I recently purchased a base model M1 mb air and I love it. These are beast machines, leagues above my former Lenovo. And that Lenovo cost me twice as much.

New MacBooks are insane.

The new windows + copilot laptops should rival and even exceed the newer m3 MacBooks. Both on performance and battery. They are also a bit cheaper.

I shortly considered buying one, but it wouldn’t fulfil the main draw that the MacBooks have. The ecosystem that I seek between phone and laptop.

Did yours have the confidential-packaging intact? Mine was ripped apart, even considered buying it again just so I have a pristine one in my shelf.

Yeah, one was fully intact, the other had clearly been opened by the distributor (Final Boss Bundle) Bit disappointed as it took the enjoyment out of opening the package myself but I will be playing these a lot so not too fussed, definitely not cool if you want a collector’s piece though.

Definitely did not buy to play as a certain sexy bald man later this year.

Guess some guy didn’t want to pay for his art print. So sideshow gave me the opportunity to snag it.

Now I’m up one art print for my wall and basically got it for free after rewards points.

This has been a long time coming. I ordered it over a month ago, the company does not have US imports set up so shipping was not smooth. It’s here now though just one day after my birthday. Beautiful I think. The only hand goes around only once in a day.

I don’t do wrist watches (can’t stand the feel of them) but I have a pretty good collection of pocket watches. That looks very nice! I really like 24 hour watches.

I have only one of those. It’s not pricey or fancy. Stainless steel double hunter 17 jewel, but she runs and I love her.

I HATE pocket watch chains though bc they fall out so I have a full necklace instead that I use to secure it to my vest. I have to play with it occasionally to ensure it doesn’t look stupid, but usually you wouldn’t notice.

Same here, and we all have smartphones these days. Though this old Omega Constellation looks so pretty I’m willing to buy one just for the sake of it.

Dunno about battery capacity (so far not so impressed) but with a power source the play time is unlimited :stuck_out_tongue:

Please give us impressions on whenever you get to it.

I’m very interested in how they adapt it for a second time to VR, possibly with more VR-focused features.

Will do. Excited to see how it will turn out.

A ticket on Frontier Airlines… for you Europe peeps it’s similar to easy jet or ryan, only I think both those operations take less delays and cancels. We will see how this goes.

Just some Amazon order woes:

In early, early June I bought a Charging Stand and a Head-strap mod for my PSVR2 headset and controllers from Amazon.
The site said they’d be arriving within the week. That very quickly was evident not to happen because both items got “delayed” due to very little reason given, but they’d ship them once they were able to.

Well, last week I got sick of waiting for nothing, so I called customer service, got them to file a ticket to get the packages queued up – and learned that apparently the pricing on one of them changed soon after I bought it, which caused some glitch in their system?? That’s sus and weird as heck, but hey, hopefully that would fix it within 48 hours.
I waited 5 days, actually, and still no progress.

So, I cancelled the charging stand since I found Best Buy was selling it for the exact same price.
And this was either pure coincidence, the support ticket getting processed, or the bug being fixed, but just a few minutes after I cancelled the item on Amazon, the other item in the order displayed as being prepped for shipment. Hooray? Should arrive tomorrow, finally, and I hope it improves my comfort using the VR headset

Anyway, I bought the charging stand at BB and it arrived in less than 24 hours, (eat it, Bezos!) so I can charge both PSVR2 controllers at the same time (they only last a day or two), and I also bought SW: Jedi Survivor for 40$ (50$ off!) which I hope to get to soon once I finish TLOU and Alan Wake 2.
It’s weird… I remember hearing quite a lot of hype for Survivor before the game came out, then it did and I just heard… nothing. I hope that means it was received well and wasn’t bad, because I didn’t hear any big news stories about outrage or disappointment in the game. Respawn did a great job with Fallen Order so I’d hope they can just improve and have the sequel be bigger and better than the first!

From most people I’ve talked to they said it has good gameplay and story but for PC players it was unenjoyable because it ran poor or would randomly crash. I had problems with it crashing a lot randomly. Though I haven’t played it since they did a few bug fixes so it might be more stable now.
