I was good this year.

-
Overpriced makeup and face stuff. A laptop so I can work from home sometimes. A label maker because nerrrrrdddddd/lightening deal.
Luckily I can just give it to my husband and he just wraps it up with the rest of my stuff. Except the laptop, that's already in use.
-
a bunch of cheap videogames duh. spent like $100 at the square Enix store flash sale
-
A new bottle of hand lotion to masturbate 2016 away.

THINK OF THOSE WHO DON'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS, HEATHEN Naw, who gives a fuck. We had Hanukkah stuff last weekend and my wife and I didn't even give each other anything because we were just pretty much buying whatever for ourselves for the last few weeks.
Over the past month, I bought a bunch of games n' toys and also basically bought another Windows 8 tablet that I frankly didn't really need but got anyway.
:idont
Also got some new furniture and ponied up for an Apple TV despite saying I wasn't going to get another one. :-\ It works great but I really didn't want to spend $150 on a streaming device when other companies have devices for half that or even less. But it has certain streaming apps that Roku doesn't have.
-
Beer and cigarettes
-
Nothing. Not a ton of money leftover from gifts for family. :P
-
Leather + pony hair sneakers
Leather trousers
Non-leather sweatshirt
-
I bought a new stack of books while looking for gifts to others and I will probably pick up a dozen of games from the holiday sale.
I need a larger house before I can buy new toys for myself. Most of my musical instruments don't fit in my current apartment.

Everything I've read about it and have friends tell me about it IRL makes it sound like a complete game-changer. Which I think I need since I want to become more of a morning person in 2016. (Made decent headway on that front in 2015, but I've been inconsistent about it.)
-
I have this quality dutch product in my bedroom, it works very well.
Haven't heard my alarm for years now.
I got myself:
- Samsung Gear VR for nonsense
- Fitness mat for at home workout
- Soft shell jacket for hiking

Whoa, I need this.

A new house, couple vidya games and I'm either going to get a new helicopter or a rifle. Thrilling.

That Philips wake up light is legit from what Ive heard.
Me and the wife will book a nice holiday for ourselves as a gift, but we cant decide on the destination. Everything is on the table, Usa,Canada, Spain, Turkey, Japan,Thailand...

Nice, Vanguard is the company that manages our 401ks at my job... so I'm investing 8% in various funds. Company matches 4% but next year since we got bought out we're gonna get 6% match.
I just bought this so far offa GOG:

Neck gaiter!
Thank you for allowing me to share.

Let me know how that neck gaiter is. The dudes I know that ride in the winter swear by them. And that's basically the only exposed part of me when I'm geared up for winter commutes.

A better scotch. Dunno which though.

That specific one is great, but if you are riding around in the winter without covering your neck literally anything that does will make your life better.

Didn't see a new buy thread for 2016 and so hijacking this one to post pickups from my Japan trip. Most of it was just clean up since I already import the stuff I actually want; most games were like $3-15 pick ups. Also got a bunch of souvenir stuff that I didn't take photos of like magnet hanging snow monkeys and totoro towels and stuff.

Got about 1/2 of the stuff in Tokyo, about 1/4rd I was carrying around pickups from Osaka when I met you, and about 1/4th was from other stuff. A lot of it was pretty damn cheap though, like I got God Eater 2 vita for $-7 because Sofmap was doing a "buy 5 used games and get 10% off" thing, and I had 4 games totaling around $100, so I picked up GE2 for 370yen and got $10 off my entire order for doing so. Good times :P

thanks, man. the scope is Leupold VX-2. I won a lucky ebay bid and got it brand new for 190. It seems to generally retail for between 270 and 300 though so I'm pretty damn happy and it works great.

Time for another ASUS monitor!
Ordered the ASUS MX299Q. It's a 29" 21:9 2560x1080 AH-IPS monitor, pretty much exactly like the 27" MX that I use for my consoles, but ultra-widescreen. The height is about 23", so it's just like the monitor I use for my PC now, but with a good 6-7" of extra space. Gives you that dual monitor feel, only without the bezels splitting it down the middle, and it doesn't take as much power to run.

Time for some ultra-wide gaming!

Time for a bigger desk.
-
This thing needs about 33% horsepower to run games at 2560x1080...I see some FPS drops of 5-10 in some games I tried. Interestingly enough, since you can just use the monitor settings to force the 21:9 aspect ratio, I was able to leave some games as 1920x1080, but they'd "stretch" out to fill the screen without looking like it. Basically gives me back the missing frames but stays the same res.
:heh
Time for a bigger desk.
Heh, that photo was just me trying it out on a little folding table to make sure it didn't have any dead or stuck pixels...would have sent that sucker right back. I probably have enough room on my desk for a dual monitor setup, but I prefer it this way. It's so nice not having a bezel splitting the screen.
-
Can you post a screen of SFV on that monitor? What videocard do you have?

SFV doesn't support ultra wide screen, so it runs bordered. Didn't check to see if someone came up with a workaround yet. IIRC I have a GTX 860m in my laptop.

I got this Fairlight emulator during Black Friday. Now I can derp around with the Beat It intro noise and the 'yow' from Owner of a Lonely Heart and have string sounds like the Cure :hyper http://www.uvi.net/en/vintage-corner/darklight-iix.html
Also picked up some plugin pack from Waves for $39 with a $30 Cyber Monday coupon so shit ended up being $9. Bought Rabi Ribi and Gat Out of Hell on the Steam sale too.
