What did you BUY today?

With ebays 10% off used items I've gone for a corsair 2x8gb 2666 ram set (Thanks @SAHO )

Currently have 2x4gb 2400 that shipped with the laptop and I noticed idle 5.9gb were free

Internal graphics card has 2gb dedicated and 3.9gb shared ram so unless I'm reading it wrong, under heavy GPU load the ram could be a bottleneck

So to hopefully get a few more years out of her hopefully the extra 8gb will be good

And at £35 hardly a bank breaker

----

Edit, Actually I read that wrong, well kinda, under normal load of a few tabs being open it shows at around:
5gb were used
2gb were cache allocated
1gb were free

What explains why I never saw the ram go above 6gb, it was bottlenecked within seconds and had nothing free to use.

Seems I've gone from justifying something I likely wont notice any difference with.. To something that actually needed upgrading

Update on a lot of cute stuff I recently purchased, more in subsequent messages. ENJOY the many fine and luminescent pieces of tat from Homesense! WITNESS my taste in fancy footwear! MARVEL at the near-complete lack of artistry in my photographs! :) 👍

just bought doctor strange in the multiverse of madness and let me tell you it's very depressing to see the state of dvd and blu-ray to go to hmv and see so many in the bargain section, make's me want to buy stuff before this market dies. then again with the news of crunchyroll reducing there price and young people in general moving away from streaming maybe young people will finally realise the benefit of disc's at last.

I wouldn't fret, HMV have had sales of the such for decades. They have rotating stock and all that.
 
Got a few more PS1 games via the PS3 PSN store, the original Resident Evil trilogy and the Toy Story 2 game. RE1 and Toy Story 2 also gave me the free upgrades for PS4, making it the only way to own the original RE (the Director's Cut anyway) on PS4 as otherwise you need PS+ to play it, this is not counting the remaster of the GameCube remake.

Newest signed picture purchase. It was a tough choice, especially with SDCC this week and lots of guests there (and other big US cons) offering this. My other choices included Greg Cipes (Beast Boy from Teen Titans/Teen Titans Go), Jim Cummings (Winnie The Pooh, Tigger, Darkwing Duck), Will Friedle (Terry McGuiness from Batman Beyond, Ron Stoppable, Lion O from the early 2010s Thundercats reboot), Tim Russ (Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager), etc. And I've got my eye on Keith David who's doing a virtual event next month

I am aware of Kevin Smith's divisive reputation these days though. Ive not really seen any of his movies past Clerks 2, I saw most of Jay And Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie though. The lone highlight was seeing Cockknocker who was previously played by Mark Hamill in Jay And SIlent Bob Strike Back now voiced by Tara Strong (it was Smith's way of pandering to the Brony crowd........the movie came out in 2013 when bronies were everywhere) using her Bubbles voice for the character. I'm looking forward to Clerks 3 though

More Xbone games (carried on from the one I posted in the "what you received today" thread), which now means.....

I now have an Xbox one S which was supposed to be a 500GB hard drive version, but after looking at the storage section...

It appears that CeX was either Sloppeh with their marking or the unit I got was a 500GB model that was upgraded to 1TB.
 
Ticket for Free! The Final Stroke: vols 1 & 2 at Vue Portsmouth. So far I'm the only one who has bought a ticket and I don't think they think they'll have many people as you can only select seats from the first 4 rows.

The first volumes of A Sign of Affection and Aposimz are currently under £1 on Kindle. Paradise Kiss was about £8.50, and I think that includes the complete series.
