Peripheral upgrade or ingame skins? KEKW

[crakddx]

Not sure where to post this btw.

Okay so I had this old lego set sitting on my shelf which I sold on gumtree au for 150 aud. MWith that money, I have two options planned. One, I do a peeripherall upgrade by buying razer viper min, razer blackshark and a new mousemat. Two, I blow all my money on juicy skkins in Valorant. both will give a placebo effect that I'm playing better. I am more inclined to buying skins as my audio, mousemat and mouse is decent. and with skins, I cann flex on my team. Anyway, what would you guys choose? Any options you guys have you can suggest.

One is wasted money on a piece of temporary entertainment and the other are physical devices that can go on for a long time.

 

Or ya know just save the money?

 

Flexing is stupid in general who tf cares that much sure you'll get a couple reactions maybe and that is it. Not worth.

 

Also if nothing is wrong with your current setup then don't upgrade? No change is needed if current things work just fine.

Personally, I'd stash it away somewhere for emergencies, or ready for the next time my system needed upgrading (or does that count as an emergency?)

Being a minor, I won't really have an emergency anytime soon. And I'm building a new pc sometime in the nearish future (not really tho, just smacking a 1650 in an optiplex, qand upgrading ram and ssd.). I already have that covered.

You have no idea how wrong that statement is. You will start to notice a lot changes when you are growing up, you will never know when you will need that money. If you dont need something, hold on to your money. AU$150 isnt much but instead of wasting that money on something you dont need and also that will depreciate with use and over time, get your money exchanged for foreign currency. USD/EUR/GBP are the top three on circulation, if australian dollars continue to lose its value, you would still have (at the current exchange rate) $108. Maybe who knows, in a year you might want to get a new graphics card and your money wouldnt have lost its value.

probably an even worse idea. Bitcoin can literally be influenced by meme's of all things. It's not even close to a stable currency you should invest in.

Maybe so, but if you start stashing away money that you don't need to spend now, you could have enough for a 1660 Super or something instead of a 1650 when you do upgrade!

It's always a nice surprise when you realize oh hey I have enough money to buy the next tier up of a product so I won't need to replace it as soon as the other one I was aiming for.

jas I was joking o.o
maybe etheureum tho......
jk
I only have a vague ideo of what exchange rate is, so feel free to enlighten me.
and also, thx fruit for the idea. i will look at some benchmarks to see how big of an upgrade it is.

Environmentally speaking the skins has almost zero impact, so I say go for that. No reason to get more physical items, that will eventually become waste, produced, unless you absolutely need it.
