What was your last purchase? 2.0

Heatsink acquired, attached, and the drive is inserted into the console!

The tricky part was getting the drive in the right spot before encasing it in the heatsink (plus I had it upside down the first time so I had to redo it and re-stick the clingy silicone pads that came with it)
But it’s done! Slotted fairly flush with the console slot, even the screwdriver that came with the heatsink was enough to undo all the screws needed!

I now have 1TB extra storage, and apart from the console testing the drive as 3964mb/s speed (lower than the box advertised), based on my research, the drive should still keep up with PS5 Loading standards – at least for now. Seems devs haven’t fully cracked the full speed of the SSD yet…

Found this on eBay and it arrived yesterday. I enjoy things that are in the realm of ghosts, the paranormal, and aliens, so it fits right in on my shelf :ghost::blue_heart:

When you get a bit into it, can you sum up your experience in the ‘What video games are you playing’ thread?

I was extremely disappointed with the first game and it’s expansion. It felt like a slug to get going, first late game did it catch my full attention. I even took a 2-3 month break from it, before forcing myself to play it through. The same with the expansion, which I’m currently returned to after a long hiatus.

Does it take just as long to get going?

Yes for sure. I liked a lot the first one, Miles was too short but overall beautiful graphics.
I read yesterday it takes about 30 or 50 hours to complete the game at 100% if I am not mistaken

A pair of 511’s

It was an expensive purchase. Normally I don’t pay 1200 dkk /170 USD for a pair of jeans. Yet I got tired of my Jeans from H&M and other cheaper brands would rip around the crutch within a year.

Hopefully this pair of Levi’s will be more durable and last me longer . I will certainly not machine was them as often, if at all.

I must say the they are comfortable and do fit me very nicely.

Screw it, I was so impressed with how Driveclub was described and shown here that I just picked up a 17$ Free Shipping copy on ebay. Thank god for physical releases (and people haven’t skyrocketed the price yet).

Sure, the servers are offline and all DLC is delisted, but the updates are still out there, and fans say it still holds up today, despite its legacy. I’m sad I overlooked this title, I know I remember seeing it on the Store back when it was available, but never really looked into it past the title…
It was made by the team behind MotorStorm!! I loved that series! How did I miss this?!

Because before all of those updates DriveClub was mid, it tried doing everything its competitors did without wanting to do anything to either make it stand out or make it too close to a competitor along with technical issues. Which is a bad look when you are the crew who made MotorStorm, a very unique series of racing games.

After all of the updates it became a decent racer but you could get a better experiences elsewhere. GranTurismo was a better sim and Forza Horizon was a better arcade racer. If you didn’t have an Xbox then you also had The Crew which felt more unique with its whole “drive across The States seamlessly” idea.

Also 2014 was stacked against DriveClub, you had The Crew with its Ubisoft backing and unique and ambitious world and you had FH2 which had Microsoft backing it and was overall a much more engaging game.

I have lots of thoughts on Levi’s, some positive some negative, but more pressing to me is the question: why are these so expensive??

Is it a matter of American goods being limited and more of a luxury item in Denmark?

These jeans usually retail for around 50-60 USD over here, so my curiosity has been piqued.

From my understanding, there are several different levels of quality when it comes to Levi’s jeans. The cheaper jeans are made outside the US and doesn’t have the same quality control, fabric, stitching and so on.

The cheaper kind can be found in retail stores and so can they occasionally in Denmark. However if you shop them from a Levi’s branded store or department store, you will be paying for a better product. That’s at least what I learned from a reddit post regarding Levi’s quality.

Even on the US Levi’s homepage, you are able to find jeans around the same price range. Also keep in mind that sales tax in Denmark is 25%.

But in general Levi’s are around the same price as Hugo Boss or Tommy Hilfiger jeans.

We are not a cheap country.

Bought my first ever car today even despite I haven’t passed driving test yet.
I’m aiming to ride it in some time when my instructor says I’m ready.
Though I had only 2 lessons so far, he says I’m doing quite well and he already let me to strike busy roads on my second lesson, even mini roundabouts. And he says he usually lets it on 4-5 lesson. So I’m quite proud of myself.
So I guess riding this my new purchase is not that far away :slight_smile:

It’s quite nice Ford Fiesta Zentec 2009.
I haven’t had any photos of it, so I might update the post later with ones

International shipping was free so I’d say it’s a win :slight_smile:
