I would say my Hue lights system because I can modulate the lighting to my mood or what I need.

    Not to diss the question, but I’ve seen a bunch of these ‘best purchase’ questions here recently and I wonder if someone is trying to subtly promote a consumerist culture.

      …we already are in one?

      Yes, the “best purchase” questions are a bit frequent. However, where else can you go these days? Facebook? Amazon Reviews? AI article #28462? Paid YT influencers?

      Forms like Lemmy are one the last places you can ask and get reasonable honest human answers for purchase advice. Reviews and troubleshooting are last 2 reasons I go to reddit, and even then reviews over there can be iffy on mainstream stuff.

    Base building sandbox games. I don’t know why but this genre of games can suck away my stress unlike anything else (since I quit smoking). Oxygen Not Included is the one I keep coming back to.

      Funny that you mentioned ONI, played and enjoyed it for > 50 hrs but I always got to the point where the base was falling apart b/c of one of the many missing ressources for my dupes :o So actually quite stressful at times, at least for me :D

        That early-to-mid-game hump takes out a lot of players. Every resource takes Dup time and every Dup needs more resources - the balance takes practice and some math. Then the Spaced Out DLC came out so we could have that same hump several times in the same game… and I love it.

        Most of my colonies end between 2000 and 5000 in game days (I don’t bother to “finish” the game anymore) when I’ve got so much tech-debt the colony has become a chore instead of a game. Or one time when I tried to run all my Spaced Out bases on nuclear, only to discover there’s not enough asteroid generation to support that many reactors long term.

    My car has been amazing, I got my license about 2 years ago, and after relying on busses and trains to get around for eight years and living alone, having a car is just fantastic.

    Thinking smaller, my cameras, I got properly into photography back in 2017 when I bought a Lumix GX80, and got a 14-140mm lens for it, it taught me soooooo much about taking nice photos. Then last year I upgraded to a Lumix S5, and damn, it is a really nice camera! The only thing that annoys me with it is the slow AF, so I am already planning on getting two other cameras to complete my setup… But anyway, my cameras has helped me a lot when it comes to go out and do stuff, simply because I want to get the photos!

    Thinking smaller yet, my Hue system is amazing.

    Being able to open the door to my apartment and being greeted by a nicely lit apartment rather than a black void when comming home from work is just fantastic.
