You went 12K over my theoretical budget but thanks for the suggestion.

Oh, $10 was the ceiling, not the floor. In that case...

Considering buying a Nintendo Switch OLED, would be great for the family. Could do it right the fuck now but part of me is hesitating

Also looking at a portable scanner for the drawings and shit, this one is more feasible

You need the Switch so you can play pixel-art games in the highest quality as god intended.

Given the retardation levels drivers in my area are reaching and escalating every day I am on the road, I am strongly considering buying whatever the hell the pushbar/PIT bumper is that the cops equip their pickups with. It looks like Westin makes the exact model the cops use with the wrap-around protection they need for PITs (and I'd need for retards that miss when cutting me off at less than 1/4 car-lengths between), but I'm sure there are even sturdier more expensive options.

Obviously I can't get one with flashing lights, but I want that same level of protection the Wing Wrap Elite (e: and the PIT Bar Elite) add-ons provide the linked bumper (scroll down the link a bit).

Let's assume an unlimited budget but that I want pretty much the same look as the Westin model pictured since it's not TOO ugly, and similar or greater levels of sturdiness: hit me with your most expensive shot. 😁

You need to buy this because drivers are retards. It's basically an essential purchase, really. You should hurry up and do it.

The Nintendo Switch OLED is only an upgrade if you play it in handheld mode. Just get an older model, if you're going to use it mostly in TV mode

I desperately want a set of these. I'm a whore for those massively wasteful, overpriced blind boxes, and I love this particular line, the Sleep Elf. This is the Fairyland series, and will be officially released in English soon, although the Chinese/Japanese releases have been out for a while. Not only do I objectively love them on an aesthetic level, this series is based on the tarot majors, which are a long standing interest of mine.

These things are sold in a box of eight. There are eight 'commons', and two 'rares' and there is absolutely no indication whether a box has a rare figure or is a full set of commons. You can get individual figures off of places like Aliexpress, but even there, a rare will cost the same amount as an entire set of commons.

These things are wasteful, impractical, purposeless, and are made of mass produced plastic that's a plague upon the earth. I also have a shitton of bills and purchases of legitimately needed items to make.

I want them with a desire that's just shy of sexual.

Oh ho ho ho, but what if you buy them secondhand so you know what you're getting?

It literally just adds an OLED screen to the Nintendo Switch. No upgraded specs, or anything

Yeah, but OLED.
Is pretty.
 
I want a Tibetan singing bowl even though I already have four instruments

I’d say get them so you can put them on your desk at work to show your support for gay pride

Because your desired purchase is really gay
