A 14 TB HDD to throw on my Plex server. Went with a cheap option from serverpartdeals.com.

I was using a 4 TB for the longest time and had to go through and delete stuff every month.

There are a few.

1, my Mavercade KeebBrawler-01, which has been pretty comfy for Street Fighter 6, which itself I can’t count as my own best purchase since it was gifted to me.

2, Monolith M1070C headphones. They’re the first pair of closed-back headphones I’ve ever had that I don’t hate wearing for extended periods.

3, Final Fantasy 14. My girlfriend’s been playing since its initial release, and some of my other friends collectively convinced me to join. In the last couple weeks I’ve already put somewhere in the range of 50 hours into it and it’s been a good way to bond with everyone.

A UPS. The power grid being very unreliable where I live, the power gets cut about once a week. This innocuous little thing has protected my work and 3000e of hardware from at least 30 cuts since I bought & installed it, for a total cost of 120e. Absolutely the best investment I’ve made recently

I haven’t bought much, but I did invest in a Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. It’s a controller with Hall Effect sticks so they’ll never drift, mechanical clicky buttons, four customizable back and two front buttons. I got fed up with the sticks going bad on my Dualshocks. It’s a bit early yet, but it works great so far. The software isn’t even that bad considering I was prepared for it to be terrible given the reviews. I used it precisely once to set up my buttons and make sure it had the latest firmware and haven’t booted it up since. It cost a tiny bit more than a Dualsense here in Korea. Which is insane for the amount of features. My latest Dualsense, the left stick went bad after a year of light use. Screw every controller manufacturer using shit analog sticks these days. Looking at you Nintendo and Sony in particular.
