Every year on my birthday, I treat myself to an unreasonable purchase. Something that I always wanted but wouldn’t just buy it normally because it wouldn’t be practical or reasonable. Something like an expensive toy, or a fun gadget, or a hobby kit.

This year I’m indecisive between the Steam Deck and the Meta Quest 3. You might ask why would that be unreasonable. Because I have a family with a newborn now so I don’t have much free time to game anymore. It would be a waste because I can only play like once or twice per week.

I would love to hear about your desire for an “unreasonable purchase” (within your budget).

    This morning I bought myself a PS5 that came with Spiderman 2 as my first non-nintendo console since the 360 and I feel like such a boomer. There’s a speaker in my controller and there are two spidermen now? One of the spidermen shoots electricity or something?

      What’s the speaker in your controller used for? That can’t be a good speaker that can replace the big ones, right?

      Also, I feel like there’s tons of new “spider man” all of sudden. What’s up with that? Anything could be a Spider Man these days. I’m not surprised if there’s a spider Spider-Man (or Man Spider? Idk).

        As far as I can tell, all it does is make web shooter noises lol.

        As for the Spidermen, I’m out of the loop on all superhero stuff because I could not possibly care less about it. I only knew there was a black spiderman because of racist chuds complaining.
