So what frivolous things have you bought lately? Why?

BAD LUCK DUCK

Forum Duck
Saved up some money from my little gardening jobs, but can't find anything to spend it on, looking like it's going on the energy bill if I use the aircon in this heat,:( bought the wife a new phone earlier in the year and bought myself a PS5 a couple of months ago ...waits for the piss take, but I have enjoyed a bit of gaming for a long time, now there is nothing I want which is unusual for me getting worried that my mental outlook is changing, and it's a sign of another bout of depression incoming.:(
My ps4 is on its way out..
The carriage for the disc continously fucks about and I was looking at a ps5...
I don't actually do a lot of gaming nowadays...
I like need for speed hot pursuit and I got metal gear solid something or another and an attack helicopter game but I don't have enough time to actually get into anything properly...
Is the PS5 worth the money and what else can it do other than play games..can you play PS4 games on it @Tricky Dicky

TBH I guess the answer would have to be no, the graphics are definitely better and there is more storage, but you need it, but in some respects some of the features like the media player have been lost, sure you can stream Netflix etc but on the whole not worth the expense, you're probably better off picking up a good used PS4 as a replacement, some PS4 games can be upgraded to PS5 for free or little money, but that's about it.

I mostly play open world single player type games and being retired I have plenty of time to play....you can lose a few hours easily.;)

My previous punch bag was held together with several meters of duct tape.
So I went online shopping for a replacement last night & spotted this...

He'd only had it for 2 days & he paid £50 via Ebay. For some strange reason he was saying it was unsuitable & sending it back was a non starter due to the size/weight. At a guess the 5 foot bag is about 30kg & the bracket, fixings etc probably weigh an additional 5kg?

Long story short. He accepted £15 for the lot! 😃

Now all you need is a felt tip to draw a nice pic of your current favourite person.;)
I'll try to print the photo stickers you asked for this week.
