Compulsory customer service for a couple years might make retail customers less miserable to deal with overall.

If they want a third option, I usually recommend Brother, and even more I tend to recommend used/refurbished. We just don’t carry those in my store.

God, the amount of times I’ve had to explain the EcoTank vs HP math to customers in my store, and then STILL have them pick an HP is fucking baffling.

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.
