For me it would have been buying the steam frame (but I am still in the waitlist). Also, I recently gotten into the 40k lore, but there is no way I can find the time and physical place to get into wargames.

    More professional Bosch tools (Blue ones) for personal use. Maaaaybe I can justify a new drill, drillbits and a multicutter. Bosch professional tools are a true pleasure to use. I cant go back to cheaper consumer grade tools.

    RTX 3090 for local LLM. I just pay for european hosted inference instead.

    Holy shit, are you me?

    Can’t really justify the Frame, but will do anyway, when buying mail comes around.

    Also got into 40k lore recently, but that is easier to withold, as I have no time and patience whatsoever to paint minis rn (especially not if the Frame comes around 😅). Books do it now, I suppose.

      This is what everyone should be striving for. At least in America, a large percent of the population doesn’t have more than two paychecks saved.

    I kinda want a true cargo bike. Not anything branded, I’d want to be able to replace electronics, but just having a huge box on an e-bike would be nice I imagine.

    I rarely need to move more stuff than fits in a backpack, I have 2 big bike bags as well, and if it won’t fit in any of these, chances are it’s furniture that won’t fit in a cargo bike either. I simply do not need it.

    I thought about the Steam Frame, and can definitely afford it, but I just can’t see enough VR software I’m interested in. I’ve played through HL:A, and most everything else is very short experiences. Or beat saber, which is too fast for me.

      This is my hang up on it too. There’s just not been any interesting VR titles lately, and I havent seen any announcements either. Seems like a waste of money for a blade and sorcery machine.

    Upgrade my server/storage. I only have 1.5tb of storage total for everything including my music, shows, etc.

    But I am able to manage it, so I can’t really justify buying more storage for it when I technically don’t need it.

    A couple days vacation to go hiking. I haven’t had a vacation in years, and I desperately need a break from my life. I’d be thrilled if I could just get on a plane, go across the country and see some mountains for 2-3 days and then come home, but I just can’t afford it. Maybe next year, she says, for the 3rd year in a row…

      Aw, man. We all need a break sometime. Maybe you can find something closer to home that can help you decompress?

    A pair of 20TB HDDs. My NAS is a janky RAID0 setup of a Raspberry Pi and 2x 12TB external WD HDDs that are about 3 years old at this point. I want a backup at this point but there’s no way I’m paying for something that ridiculously expensive at the moment.

    I also should’ve gone for at least 32GBs of RAM for my PCs but my cheap ass thought prices would never explode.

    A virtual tabletop setup for D&D. A tv cut into a large table with space for players to have some food, drink, their sheets, and dice while putting their minis on an animated map in the center

    I put off buy new hard drives for my NAS. I have an 8 bay and slowly filled it over the years with 6tb drives since they were about $200 at that time. Now that I ran out of that space I started replacing the 6tb one by one with 12tb which at the time was around $200 as well. Ive needed a new HD for years now but couldnt really afford it, but now I really need a new one and I REALLY can’t afford it… this hobby is essentially dead at these prices. Ill continue to purge data and hope in a few years some miracle happens and prices drop again. I also hope these current drives hold out without issues…
