This is me. I have a Pioneer and it's great but it's 720p, weighs about a thousand pounds, and makes an audible hum. I want an oled but can't justify it since this one works.

I bought a Casper mattress.
0/10 bullshit. My back pain isn't GONE but it's noticeably not as bad. My previous mattress was way too soft, I just sunk in.
Ordered a Jarvis Standing Desk.
3/10 bullshit. I don't need it but working from home, I'm getting antsy just sitting, uncomfortable and wanted one for a long time now.
Frosthaven I'm backing on kickstarter.
10/10 bullshit, I haven't finished Gloomhaven yet.
See now this is 10/10 bullshit.
Buy a Herman Miller Aeron for about the same price here.

Very seriously considering buying a price-gouged Switch. Seeing everyone talk about Animal Crossing online has got me feeling FOMO something serious and it's exactly the kind of game I want to be playing right now.
PhoenixWan, so I can melt my wallet on IIDX Infinitas :P
I'm still a greenhorn at SDVX.
I'm actually pretty good about not buying bullshit. I barely get games day 1 anymore.
FF7 remake cost me $40 pre-order. I would consider that just 3/10 bullshit (I have a bad back log, BUT I would play FF7 before anything else anyways)
If you're buying that Apple iPad keyboard at launch for $350, that's 11/10 bullshit.

While I probably won't buy this until next year, I really want this functional Stirling engine model.
Some kind of new charcoal grill/smoker is my top priority, my old Weber kettle is pretty rickety now.
I'm sitting here seriously considering if I should pre-order & pre-load a digital copy of the FFVII Remake so I can play it on release day instead of having to wait for the 14th of April to get my Deluxe Edition (that I only paid $50 for!) thanks to Amazon's delay.
My desktop pc is mostly 6-7 year old hardware (newest piece is 970gtx) and my iPhone SE while fine (battery is less than 2 years old) is way too small.
They work fine but I'd really like to upgrade to a NZXT H1 pc with a 2080 and a giant screen iPhone 12 in the fall if our finances don't get corona nuked.
Since there's nothing wrong with them I'd say 5/10 on the BS meters lol 😂

New Toaster Oven, our old Hamilton beach's upper elements are burned out and we used that thing every other day. Can deal with using the regular oven for now

Asus Zephyrus Duo
Xbox One Elite Controller Series 2
10/10 bullshit.
I had an Xbox One controller to use for my PC already and it's not like I play that many PC games anyway. But I started playing Final Fantasy games on Steam and then got into FF14 and the OG Xbox One controller has a horrible D-pad so....figured why not...
0/10 would buy again. it's fantastic but really unnecessary.

I might have to buy some llamas if this CV shit gets bad. Don't know a thing about firearms either.
Been streaming pc games to friends and watching tons of streams. Now I'm thinking of buying a capture card so I can stream console games too.
Elgato capture cards are like 300-700$ CAD.
9/10 bullshit

Was thinking about getting a new pc since mine is almost a decade old, but i don't game in here so it's still up in the air if i want to spend €600/700 on a new machine
6/10 bullshit
Almost pulled the trigger on the buy 3 months of gamepass and get another 3 months, it's a good sale but i barely turn the console apart for some games or gamepass releases and i'm good until September

Carhartt work jeans.
The only reason I deem it as a BS purchase is because I have plenty of functioning work pants already. I would just like to slowly upgrade the quality of my work wear. They are $50.00 a pop.

1) Been thinking about buying one of those X-Box One Elite controllers, probably 9/10 on the bullshit meter.
2) I'm always looking for a pair of Hershey Bears hockey pants (breezers) in good condition. Considering how I already have two pairs that fit me just fine and I'm not playing any hockey any time soon they are 10/10 on the bullshit meter.
3) I collect hockey jerseys so I'm always on the lookout 10/10.
I bought a new hockey stick, it's coming tomorrow. It's hard to find the specs I like in the length that I like, so I'm putting it 5/10 on the bullshit meter. I'm not playing anytime soon, but the ones I like are hard to get so I'm ok with it.

I bought two copies of Animal Crossing (for me and my daughter) which may be considered frivolous purchases. Otherwise nothing. I'm hanging onto money as much as I can, even more so than usual.
Short-term:
2TB SSD/m.2 - I have a 500GB SSD in my computer now and I'm interested in going the m.2 route. And since I'm getting a new drive, I may as well upgrade the capacity. At 2TB, I'd be good for a long time. (2/10 Bullshit)
32GB RAM - I have 16GB right now, but I want to upgrade to 32GB. Mostly for stuff like Photoshop and Illustrator. (4/10 Bullshit)
Mid-term:
RTX 30(70) GPU - I have a 1070 now, so I'm planning on upgrading this year for Cyberpunk and beyond. (6/10 Bullshit)
Long-term:
A house - It's just something I thought of today. I don't nearly have enough saved at the moment, but I'm hoping in 3-4 years I can put a down payment on a house. Nothing big, as it's just going to be me.

KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer with a dough hook.
I make pizza at home once or twice a month and hand mix / knead the dough. It takes like a minute to mix the ingredients and like 5 mins to knead the dough by hand. Clean up is just washing a mixing bowl and a spoon.
I've been eyeing the stand mixer for "convenience." 8/10 bullshit.
Hi-res POE outdoor surveillance cameras connected to a dedicated NAS / surveillance-station.
I currently use Nest outdoor cams and a video door bell. The video quality is poor. Google has had a few service outages taking down the cams, with the most recent outage lasting an entire afternoon.
A friend has a slick surveillance setup with high quality turret cameras and variable focal length bullet cameras that can read license plates, capture faces, etc; stores weeks worth of footage on to a NAS and uploads a backup online; sends out motion alerts with person detection; everything is connected to a UPS.
I just need an alert when a delivery person leaves a package at my door and doesn't knock/ring when I'm home; current setup does its job adequately. I don't need high res footage of this or of potential porch thieves. 10/10.
New computer.
Current workstation is old but has zero performance issues.
Bought 32 GB of DDR4 desktop RAM for dirt cheap last year that sits unopened. "Hmmm. I should totally build a new PC" around it. 10/10 bullshit.

I bought one about a month after launch and I love it. It made Doom Eternal, for instance, way more playable to me than I would've imagined. The back paddles got improved greatly over the Series 1 — they're way more stable in their magnetic slots and their new clickiness adds a noticeable amount of great tactile feedback. If I was playing Doom Eternal without paddles and having to constantly utilize the B button on the face for my dodging, I'd probably find the controls a bit unwieldy.
I don't currently have a gaming PC but I imagine use of the paddles could have some great benefits for FFXIV like you've said, too.
I have a hard time going back to other controllers now, and I admit the Elite Series 2 controller is a significant reason I'm feeling more invested in Xbox ecosystem as of late, but I say that from the perspective of a console-only gamer and not as someone who bought it to use on PC.
Samsung 860 PRO 4TB SATA 2.5" Internal SSD. Only $1240 Canadian. (10/10 BS)
It's just so much space. Whatever happened to the price of hard drives crashing.

4K at least computer screen and a new computer desk. I've had the desk for too long but everything costs a lot and/or I hate the design.
Also want to buy new shoes but I'm holding off until they really breakdown and become unwearable.
