Maybe it was a purchase, maybe an experience? What did you treat yourself to?

Warhammer Quest 1995 and Aeon Trespass Odyssey.

I bought a plasma cutter and a GPU. In the past I would get used GPU from eBay because it's cheaper but the demand for them has made the market a little crazy and there's very little price difference new vs used (UK). The price performance sweet spot seems to be AMD 9070xt (£550, ouch).

The plasma cutter is an old three phase machine that no one wanted because it's 400V. However, looking at the circuit diagram there's very little difference between single and 3-phase configuration so the plan is to convert it to a domestic supply or cannibalise the internals and torch assembly.

ICECREAM. the answer is always icecream with me

An absolutely delicious banh mi. Also drugs.

Who needs drugs when you have a good banh mi

A match made in heaven, though!

I bought a silly game that just launched called Escape From Duckov. Played it for three hours straight! It's kinda addicting.

I literally did the exact same thing. Never played an extraction shooter before and it was a spontanous purchase. Did not regret it.

Pasta roller. Not a super fancy one. Made some whole wheat pasta yesterday with some pesto from a friends basil garden.

[–] GalacticTaterTot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Made cookie brownies (brookies?). They were pretty good.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Tim Hortons does in fact call them Brookies

Ordered some nice handmade leatherworking knives.

The irony of it is that I accidentally sliced off a sliver of fingertip the other day with my current one. Damn things are like miniature guillotines, but if nothing else, it's a testament to my ability to sharpen a round knife

Comic-Con. Had a blast.

A new eyeshadow palette, highlighter, and two lip products. Here's a photo from the brand's promotional materials because I haven't received the shipment yet:

uuuh, shiny

I preordered the new Katamari game that's coming out next week. I'm very excited!

[–] TimeChild@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

New shower head. Can’t wait for it to show up.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

A nice hike in the Tramuntana, in a long interval between thunderstorms.

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Three ingredient peanutbutter cookies.
