pining for the moon
I have just bought myself a desktop PC, and I am screaming, y'all. Because it was a lot of money at once, and whoops my hand slipped? ;)
But. I had WAY more money in the bank than I was expecting, one week out from payday. Also next month I will be 45, and I feel like that is significant enough reason to treat myself, right?
Also it was this or a PS5 and, while the PS5 would have been cheaper, I can do more than just play games on a computer (though I did buy it for playing games, make no mistake).
I also bought a controller to go with it that has cherry blossom patterns all over because a) I wanted one anyway (I think my hands are too fucky for keyboard and mouse*) and b) I am a weeb and I make no bones about that fact (not any more, anyway).
Anyway, it qualified for free next day delivery somehow, so it is arriving tomorrow!! Weather permitting, of course, because it snowed overnight.
I am very excite! But also feeling weird, because it was a lot of money for me to spend all in one go.
For anyone who cares, it is an ASUS V500, with a 1TB SSD, with 16Gb memory (upgradeable to 32Gb), and an Intel i7 processor. It isn't specifically a gaming rig, but I'm not bothered by that - it will do what I want it to, no hassle. It also will have enough USB ports for me to able to plug everything in, and maybe have some left over (I think it has seven or thereabouts in total?)
So obviously now part of my time off from work this week will be taken up by playing with that, rather than the house stuff I had intended to do (I'm still painting the hallway, though, because eff leaving that again when I know I'm capable of doing it this time).

*though I am aware that not every game I want to play will have controller support, but as long as most of them do, that's okay with me.
