What Have You Bought?

[Emerald Emblem]

My phone contract expired last month so went and upgraded to the Sony Xperia 5 II

I also bought a couple of co-op/Multiplayer games to play with mates during lockdown




Got this one as a gift from a friend


And bought these for single player/streaming games




All the games are PC/Steam versions.

Finally, I bought some new pillows a couple months ago, but I started suffering from neck and back pain/discomfort in the mornings and doing a physically demanding job wasn't helping, so I ended up buying a sleepeasy pillows that helps with that.

New phone day:

You've just reminded me I need a wireless charger thing. 

And I want a robot vacuum... And a new smart speaker. And just when I've decided to go down to 2 days a week at work 😅

Finally they release a phone that isn't like a small tablet!

Right?! The 5 was by far my favourite iPhone and I’m so glad we now have something similar to it - really happy with this one so far.

Both of these have been on my want list for a while, but never seem to find anything I really think is a good buy.

Not opened mine yet, I'm still rocking my original iPhone SE, love that one. Glad they've gone smaller + back to square edges

Only couple of quid on eShop.

Hopefully these images will work. Redecorated the converted garage we have in our house. Bought a new  Samsung 43 inch TV and some Star Wars framed pictures as well from here. Bought a Last Jedi one as well as Ep4-6.

It’s my little room for gaming which I’m really chuffed with. Just need to add some stuff to go in the glass cabinets.

Edit. Ah good. Got them to work.

Also bought a new recliner which I lost to my daughter within a day

I can't see anything. I just see code. Can't wait to see it though! It sounds awesome!

Got them to work now I think. I’m useless at computer stuff haha

Meant to pick up a scarf before lockdown but didn't find one I liked so ordered from ASOS this morning:

And then because there's a 25% discount for students I've ended up ordering some more workout stuff:

  

Hopefully I don't look as douchey as the ASOS models.

Got fed up of switching my wired set from my work pc to home pc, so treated myself to these.

New TV (thanks to @Sheikah for advice).

And a 4K film to watch on it

Anyone member Bust a Move 2 for the PlayStation? Well... I found it on the Nintendo eShop! It's called ACA NEOGEO PUZZLE BOBBLE 2 on there. So I bought it for some local multiplayer fun.  Now I just gotta buy a second controller. xD So I'll sort that tomorrow haha.

I bought a new avatar! 

 

There's also a full image with more on it which I'm looking at getting printed on linen card and framed, but that's for sharing after Christmas, so nobody here can see it yet*

I had an Argos voucher and figured I could do with a clock for my work desk. May get a stand from Rose Coloured Gaming for it as well at some point.

I have no idea why, but I re-bought No Man's Sky for PC (I've already played it on PS4).

I had an urge to play it again with all the updates, and found it cheap.

I bought it knowing full well it's just going to sit in my Steam library unopened...

[Ashley]

That's a very nice poem you've written there bob

Well it was Black Friday today so I bought two more Switch Pro Controllers (well, unofficial ones but they have good reviews and look decent), Super Bomberman R and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.

I already own Super Bomberman R on PC but I'm trying to get some local split screen multiplayer going as per my prev post, although I admit as a fan of the original Super Bomberman 2 it is nice playing it on a Nintendo console and a TV instead of my PC monitor. xD

I played the first level of Donkey Kong Tropical freeze and I already think it has some of the nicest controls of any 2D/"2D" platformer I've ever played. I also really like the whole atmosphere of the game (so far), think they've done a brilliant job.

Shame Smash Bros wasn't included in Black Friday. Although to be fair I think I'm set for games to play for a while now (still have Luigi's Mansion 3 to play, and still need to finish The Crown Tundra dex), so I'll get it later.

I've been eyeing up the titan chairs for about a year now. Finally gone on sale through black Friday and went halves with my partner as a gift.

Now I'm working from home until at least April (and likely never truly going 100% back to office work) I decided it was worth it. 

[Ashley]

Glad you finally got it. It's one of those kind of boring but important purchases that I myself put off for a while (and in part because I was moving so much) and it makes a big difference.

I purchased something very on brand:

[Happenstance]

Got myself a new laptop in the Black Friday sales. Razer Blade 15.
