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

    I went for a run yesterday because I was feeling miserable. It really helped. Today I made 2 big pizzas from scratch.

    Okay, so, Monday I went to 2 thrift shops and 2 pawn shops because we weren’t able to that weekend. I ended up spending around $50USD on 5 games.

    First lawn shop I got Jak 1-3 on PS2 alongside final fantasy X on PS2 for a little over $20 at one pawn. I’ve 100%ed the first Jak years ago and was part way through Jak 2 when I lost my console and games. Same way I lost FFX with my partway completed save.

    Then at the other pawn shop I got PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royal and Crash Bandicoot Twinsanity for around $27, I think. Would need to check receipt, if I still have it.

    All games I used to have and enjoy. All I gotta do is see if there is a way to unlock PS3 DLC for free without system mods because I don’t think my brother would be too keen on his systems being modded.

    I’ve been getting Dental work done recently, and it’s across the street from a harbor freight, so after each appointment I’ve been going there and buying a tool or two. Just bought a flex head ratchet yesterday.

    It’s better than buying fast food i tell myself, which I’ve stopped doing for the most part. (If I’m out and about with people, or there’s something limited time that I want to try sure, but otherwise i haven’t bought any in a couple months)

    Upgraded my pc that had been running with the same specs since 2013 (except a 2016 GPU), and bought oblivion remastered. Any recommendations for the first playthrough? (No spoilers please)

      There’s a special house (anvil), you should try and finish that quest early for an epic payoff :). Have fun, hero of Kvatch!

    I got a mechanical keyboard after researching a ton on which one I wanted. second-hand, so I was a bit restricted to what was offered. I’m getting a Keychron V5 Max, which I’m then going to mod with some new keycaps, a tape-mod and possibly filling it up with foam. The YouTube channel Hipyo Tech has been on the top of my YouTube binge list the last few weeks.

        I appreciate the PSA. I might add:

        To avoid developing hemorrhoids while seated, minimize pressure on the anorectal vasculature by limiting toilet time to less than 5-10 minutes and avoiding straining with defecation. Prolonged sitting increases intra-abdominal and rectal venous pressure, leading to vessel engorgement and possible displacement of the anal cushions. Additionally, adopting a supported-squat posture (knees elevated above hips with a footstool) can straighten the anorectal angle, reducing the physiological “kink” created by the puborectalis muscle and facilitating easier, less strained evacuation.

        To put it in layman’s terms. And totally not AI.
