Personal Hauls: Beyond the Gaming Rig

My own Amazon shopping cart, pre-filled last week with hopeful discounts, surprisingly contained more non-PC gaming tech than anything else. The most technologically advanced item was an impressively affordable and compact Class D amplifier, the Fosi Audio BT20A Pro, available for just $80 for Prime members. This particular deal, rather than a gaming chair, motivated me to activate my complimentary 30-day Prime trial. Other practical items included a 12-pack of Amazon Basics rechargeable AA batteries for $9, essential for any parent, alongside Minecraft for the Switch, some stretchable, color-changing lizards, and glue gun sticks—proof that everyday needs prevail.

Team Acquisitions: From Microphones to Processors

Across the team, Monica secured a Razer Seiren V3 Mini microphone for $45, partly for its value and partly due to her preference for pink accessories. Jacob also contemplated this microphone, considering a switch from his current complex setup to a more user-friendly USB option. Andy indulged in a great deal on Gentleman Jack whiskey, inspiring thoughts of other premium spirits, and also sought a new mouse pad. Joshua, embodying the true PC gamer spirit, is searching for a new CPU and motherboard to replace his aging Ryzen 7 3700X, with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D at $341 being a strong contender given its past acclaim. Jake, however, made a practical purchase, a microwave, citing its 'replayability.' Rory is debating another Logitech G502X mouse for $115, a testament to the allure of peripheral collecting. James is still on the hunt for noise-cancelling headphones, such as the Sony XM4/5/6, but suitable deals remain elusive.
