GPU prices are through the roof at the moment, everyone and their mother want to update their toasters.

Same. Didn't buy because 1. GPUs are overpriced and 2. Cyberpunk was a disappointment

 

Just saving up money to buy more shitcoins during the next bear run.

 

Yeah I guessed it's a shit timing, my tactic used to be that between 5 years I would always buy a new computer that would be decent for the next 5 years, and you used to get a proper computer for 1000€ but nowadays thanks to cryptomining and corona prices are through the roof.

But I am forced to get a new computer now, this one is clearly too old

I really wanted to consume a new videocard, as well as a monitor to go with it, but the pricing and availability situation is much too unreasonable. I got some cheap older videogames instead.

My pockets are full, but I don't know what to buy. I'd like to have a nice telescope but it would mostly collect dust here...

Instead buy a binocular. Watching moon in stereo is superior.

Good point, but I already have binoculars, maybe I'll upgrade from my 10x42 to 8x56, i kind of want to have good low light glasses and 10x is a bit shaky anyway.

I only bought an books for my dad. When I wanted to buy gifts for my mom, shops already closed and it was hardly possible to get package delivery to my house anymore. So I wrote her a card and will make a little surprise package as soon as possible for her.

 

I got my hands on >10k€ of bonus money and will spend it on clothes soon in order to try to look more respectable.

10k is garch tier. What did you do to deserve this

My flatmate was forced to buy an overpriced GPU ahead of time, because his 2yo top of the line card fried. He wanted to play Cyberpunk, hope it was worth 700€...

I just bought a stationary bike because fuck going outside in the next two weeks with 1 meters of snow.

 

Has Bernd played Zwift before?

 

How much does it cost?

And how do I hook it up to a stationary bike?

The bike was suspiciously cheap but Zwift is 15€/month, like your standard MMO subscription.

Not worth it. Also I missed the days when you could purchase things in whole as opposed to all this meme subscription shit that has become the norm the past decade

I feel you, every damn kitchen timer app has a subscription now. Hate the new standard.

 

15€ Is not too much of a ripoff if it motivates you to exercise, when the typical gym membership is 50€/month at least.

 

In the future you will own nothing. And you WILL be happy.

I paid $200 for 18 months of gym membership in November. Feels good man

Lucky son of a bitch. You don’t have the forced contracts where you have to subscribe 1-2 years or pay everything upfront?

Many gyms are like that. I go to a gym that is targeted for fat people though :D but it has everything I need and is cheap.

I'm too autistic to try to pick up chicks at the gym so it works out great

Good for you Bernd, really. But what about the pandemic?

Well I've been lazy the past few weeks but overall I'm not so concerned. If Chris Christie and Donald Trump survived then I like my chances.

There's also plenty of cleaning equipment that each person gets to use so it's breddy safe it seems.

Are you deebly goncerned about the virus? Or are things like that actually shut down?

Deebly goncern’d, yes. Were at the verge of shutting down everything soon.

And how do you feel about it? To me, it's always seemed so absurd to shut everything down. Maybe I'm just too American, but it doesn't seem like there is enough actual risk of dying for the measures taken

Also btw, Zwift has a 7 day trial, hit me up if you want to ride together. Newer gym bikes have bluetooth and support the game.

I don't think my gym has bluetooth bikes. I'll check next time and let you know if it does

And my home bike definitely doesn't have bluetooth

Nice bike, what model?

You gonna steal it, Abdi?
