Honestly, nothing at all.  I had high hopes but I'm just not hugely inspired this year.  That said, I bought a 65" 4K TV three weeks ago and I have to go back in and get the cheaper Black Friday discount pricing refunded to me, so does that make it a Black Friday purchase?

Where do you have room for such a large tv?  

 

What brand is it?  

 

I really want to either get a 4K tv or monitor sometime in the next 6 months if I can manage it.

Does anywhere have decent deals on PC components?

I haven't bought any computer parts for me or my kid. No new TV. I'm still happy with my 2012 Samsung 1080p tv.  But I got several Wii U games, a Steam game, Pokémon Moon, some wall art. Other things. I've stayed away from the Steam sale for the most part. I didn't really look at it. I didn't want to be tempted because I want to continue playing the Wii U games I already have. There wasn't really much in retail that I/we wanted either. For a while I wanted one of those $99 New 3DS's even though we both have our own New XL's. I suppose I wanted to collect it. But then I realized they're going to be hard to get because of scalpers, so I gave up caring. Weeee I'm boring.

I've bought nothing so far, waiting for my paycheck to come in so I can get a Lenovo Yoga 710 from BestBuy.. Hopefully the price on it drops a bit for black friday, I'd love to pay a bit less than the current $850 for it .-.

I just ordered a Wera Kraftform Kompakt 25 (hopefully it'll be good enough for EDC), and tomorrow I plan to order a Valk 3, QiYi WuHua, Galaxy Megaminx, some Maru and Lubicle Silk, and a set of G-series springs for my Gans Air.

 

All of the computer stuff I want to get is not out yet and I couldn't afford it right now anyway, so yes, I am getting a screwdriver and a load of cubes.

It looks really nice.  

 

Btw: not to sound weird but between what would appear to be a Star Trek: First Contact poster on the wall and a Mega Man figure below the lower right corner you must be someone with good taste in games and science fiction shows.  Even more so if you also like The Big Bang Theory.  ?

 

I need to find friends like you.  ?

 

(I only have 2 atm which is not enough..)

 

Sorry.  I really hope I'm not sounding like a crazy person.  

 

Btw: I'm rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation on Netflix currently.  I wish I had it on Blu-Ray but I don't yet.

Is the $100 price the regular price or a Black Friday thing?

What's EDC?  Or any of what you mention in the first part for that matter?

 

What do you mean by load of cubes?

Nothing atm, I did take PTO for cyber monday to not have to deal with customers personally and to stalk deals lol. Honestly, all my PC needs currently is more storage. Mostly hype for useful day to day stuff like new shoes at a sweet discount.

Google is a powerful and fast tool, friend.

EDC stands for "Every Day Carry." So, basically, the stuff you carry around with you all the times, like your phone, wallet, and for some people (like me) a small host of tools.

 

All the other things are speedcubes and speedcube stuff, which are, as the name would imply, puzzle cubes to be solved quickly.

More specifically:

Valk 3: A 3x3 speedcube.

QiYi WuHua: A 6x6 speedcube.

Galaxy Megaminx: A 12-sided speedcube (shut up, it's a cube).

Maru and Lubicle Silk: Two types of lubricant.

G-series springs: Lighter springs for another 3x3 speed cube called the Gans 356 Air.

A tool that I suck at often.  ?

 

Besides it's more interesting and fun to ask nice people like yourself a question than attempting to use google.  I'm trying to use this as a way to learn to overcome my social anxiety.  So please forgive my questions.  ? 

 

So you like puzzle cube things?  These are similar to rubix (I hope I spelled that right) cubes I assume?

Win10 powered Kodi machine with the database on MySQL.  Today I'm getting an Arduino Nano, relay, IR sensor and some other stuff so I can build a thing that'll short the power pins on the Mobo and start it from S5 or hold for 4sec to force reboot it, all with an IR remote.

Got a G.Skill KM780R RGB MX Brown Keyboard, a Corsair H100i V2 AIO cooler, and some super cheap 2.5" hard drive enclosure (an Orico I think).

 

Contemplated getting a G502 Proteus Spectrum and a Sennheiser PC350 SE headset but I don't think I'll bother. Already have a G502 Proteus Core. Don't feel like spending $40 just for an RGB version of the same thing. The headset is nice, but I don't use a mic often enough. Plus, I bet my Philips SHP9500 headphones sound better.

I got The Last of Us for PS4 from Gamestop this morning for $10. I still haven't decided if I'm going to buy the PS4 Pro or the PS4 Slim though so I still got nothing to play it on. xD

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
