happy black friday eve nyandood;
What newly obtained material goods are you giving thanks for this year, Boyah? Any cheap swag you've managed to snag? goodjob;
If you go shopping on Thanksgiving fuck you
nowadays most of the discounts are available well before thanksgiving anyway lol, that's why it's now known as black november
there's hardly any reason to leave the house on thanksgiving or even on friday itself
for example, i got a 5(!) tb 7200rpm hdd for $110 earlier this month, and last week i got a 1tb ssd for $130 :3
i can't imagine i'll ever use as much as 5 whole terabytes of hdd space, but i did need to upgrade from my old filled-to-capacity mechanical drive and at that price why not
and yesterday i got uncharted lost legacy and horizon zero dawn for a total of $20 combined and that essentially concludes my black november shopping happydood;
I could fill up 5tb tomorrow if you asked me to
PS4:
Detroit: Become Human
God of War
Far Cry 5
Steam:
The Messenger
Sonic Mania
Switch:
Blaster Master Zero
I got a Switch Pro controller off Amazon a couple day ago so that will be cool for games I want to play solo on my TV. Or as a good Smash controller
In theory I want that 65 inch 4k tv that was on sale for like 900 some dollars but I don't really need it so I'll save the dough
I only do online shopping I won't go anywhere and stand in line
i finished my BF shopping on tuesday lol
I bought the license to Spyro Trilogy for less than 30.
I might pick up some movies
oh and monument valley 2 on lagdroid for $0.99 lol
uhhh john got me a copy of the new bladerunner film, guess it was pretty cheap
there's not really any deals i care about getting this year

2big4anyone smh
well it depends on your distance from the display lol
and the couches are ~twelve feet back in that room
75 seems perfect to me but then again I watch a lot of sports so bigger can be better.
For gaming I prefer a more mediumish screen

damn does your fiancé know about your bf???
you jest but i do legitimately keep my video game addiction a secret from her as much as possible lol
guess i will not be able to do this as much once i have a joint bank account doodhuh;
idk what i'm really looking for but i am interested in buying shit of course
jcrew is 50% off site wide- pretty good but i dont really need anything for my wardrobe atm

my current tv is 50in which is about as big as it could be without totally rearranging my room, and i don't know if i'd benefit from anything much larger than that anyway considering that i can't sit any further back from it than ~5 feet lol, it's already pretty big for such a small viewing distance
it is tempting to upgrade to a 4k hdr tv though, prices are getting almost irresistible
but i don't exactly ~need~ that and i don't even have any media devices that could adequately support that resolution lol
maybe in a year or two if i'm hopefully less broke goodjob;

just watch tv over vr
last purchased: another ssd (500gb, $66) and soulcalibur 6 ($35, ps4), both as birthday gifts for brother (i personally don't care much about soulcalibur lol) goodjob;
and also a cpu cooler ($30 - $10 rebate (awdood;)) lol
All in all I've spent about $390 this November. God bless consumerism and God bless the $USD. (http://tinyimg.io/i/fjK7UvG.gif)
I guess I did end up getting an $80 400gb microSD for my Switch today and then I can jam the 128gb card in there into my phone instead.
I am going to see if Soul Calibur is still on sale, I'll get that for my brother

Ah he is a silly boy and has an XBone but I got it off Best Buy thanks cuddledoods;
bought
a cashmere beanie and a fleece from uniqlo
some nice bike tires that were on sale for $30 each (usually like $60-70 per tire)
ultimate chicken horse on steam for me and my brother
fun shit
I got a $30 12-Cup Coffee maker for $8. giggle; hocuspocus;
I have some interest in a better TV because I want a larger screen (from 49" to something like 65" or 75"), HDR, and most importantly full-array local dimming, but I'll wait for next year's models instead of buying now.
I've been looking through a bunch of deals for the past few weeks but haven't seen much I care about. Mostly I just grabbed a few movies. I also got a 1TB SSD and another flash drive.
That $200 for a PS4 Slim + Spider Man is a fantastic deal and the best one I've seen this month but useless to me since I already have a PS4.

You can get an 8TB HDD for around that same price if you keep an eye out for deals and don't mind buying a (shuckable) external drive. 4TB ones are regularly in the $70~90 range. 5TB isn't a very common or popular capacity tier.
All my 3.5" hard drives combined total about 22TB (16TB active, 6TB cold) but I'm a crazy data hoarder sillydood;
I actually only have about 6TB of data, which with mirroring consumes 12TB of space. Sometimes I look at the datahoarder reddit to keep an eye on deals and I don't even hold a candle to their crazy setups with like 12x 10TB drives.

i considered doing the old shuck-'n'-cuck, but the exact model of hdd you end up with is kind of a lottery and external drives are exceedingly unlikely to be faster (7200rpm) ones in the first place, plus shucking invalidates the warranty so ultimately i decided against it
5tb is far more that i see myself needing for the foreseeable future, and at a certain point i value faster speeds over excessively higher capacities
and that toshiba drive is a fast one, the fastest (affordable) one in the 4tb+ capacity range
https://hdd.userbenchmark.com/Toshiba-X300-5TB/Rating/3593
#22 on a list of over 1000 tested drives O_0
5tb definitely isn't common though and i almost went for a 4tb one instead because it seems so strange, but the 4tb model was $99 and the 5tb model was $109
and marginally faster and in any case toshiba's reliability statistics seem to be pretty good at all capacities so w/e lol

jeebus
my cumulative total for 3.5" drives is 8tb, i have a 2tb backup drive and i'm now retiring my 1tb storage drive and replacing it with the 5tb
i guess i could repurpose it to mirror my system ssd instead of completely retiring it
including my ssds in the count brings my total up to 9.24tb, and then if i add some very old 2.5" external backup drives to that i end up at 10.49tb, which seems like a lot but isn't even half your total lol
and i only have ~1.5tb of data
also i took a cursory glance at that subr*ddit once and someone had managed to amass a
petabyte of data
2000" tv
I originally hadn't planned on buying anything, but I ended up buying Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (Switch) and a cheap wired controller. Nothing else interested me.
I bought a KitchenAid Stand Mixer since it was on sale and I had gotten a $200 Amazon gift card when I got married.
finna make all that ｂｒｅａｄ
