    Tonight’s Ask PHLemmy: If someone gave you $1,000 and said you must use this to buy a gift for yourself, what would you buy?

      I’d consider a few things:

      1. Steam Deck, leftover will be used to get games not on sale

      2. Meta Quest 3 when it comes out, same as above, I’ll use leftover money on games.

      3. A trip to Japan.

      I would buy myself a gift card (or multiple gift cards) I can use to buy myself things in the future when I need them.

      I really want a Framework 16, so I’ll use the 1k USD to reduce the cost.

      Realistically, I’ll probably organize a get-together for my friends. Or maybe a bunch of get-togethers for different friend groups.

      Either that or I’ll add it to my mom’s travel fund. She’s never been to Japan or Greece and I know that’s on her bucket list.

      Even though I’m practically a hermit nowadays, a steam deck. And also phone I can use for “RL stuff”. If there’s anything left extra, I’ll buy some games.

      I can also spend all of the money to upgrade my PC, but I consider that one as a work expense, so… IDK.
