The lack of Android Auto in the mustang is the only thing about the car that's been annoying me. Adding it myself is still a lot cheaper than buying a newer car.

So, did anyone get any good deals for Black Friday?

 

I bought a new refrigerator from Lowe's online on Wednesday and it was delivered today and installed for less than 5 minutes before I noticed there was a dent on the right door. They offered an extra 10% discount for the damage, but I already stacked a lot of online shopping/credit card cash back discounts on top of the seasonal discounts from Lowe's/LG, and a couple of other refrigerators I had considered, a KitchenAid and a GE Cafe, would have cost $700-1000 more, so a scratch-and-dent discount wasn't going to entice me. I just wanted what I ordered to be in pristine condition. No deal. Back it went, new delivery date TBD.

 

I joked to my cousin afterward, you can obviously tell I don't have kids. 🤣

 

Well, at least I know now all the items in my freezer almost fit in my large cooler. Also, I usually have my large purchases planned out well over a month in advance, so I can't believe how much refrigerator research I was able to cram into less than a week. Fridge shopping is definitely an exercise in finding a compromise between just enough technological innovation so you enjoy your new appliance versus going overboard on tech and having an unreliable POS. They can't all be Sub-Zero fridges, and thankfully can't all be priced like one either.

I got $30 US off a $175 order using my Discover card on Amazon. Mostly shotgun stuff and a few household supplies.

 

That said, also, not discounted, but a new toy showed up two days early:

I'm going into an even-year screw job from Comcast, which is when I have to upgrade plans to get better pricing on a new plan over second-year pricing on my current plan. The problem however is that upgrading from my current 400 Mbps ($55/month) to 800 ($70/month) won't trigger a new service agreement. So I have to upgrade all the way to 1.2 Gbps (because I'm not downgrading to 200 Mbps which costs a stupid $72/month anyway) to trigger a new service agreement, but that also means I need to upgrade my DOCSIS 3.0 24x8 TP-Link TC7650 cable modem to a DOCSIS 3.1. I've been reading that Comcast will just push you a neutered generic modem config file that limits you to a small fraction of the advertised speed if you try to use a DOCSIS 3.0 modem with their gigabit plans.

 

The only perk (which it really isn't) of this is that for new service agreements, the 800 and 1200 plans are the same $70/month price for the first year. In effect though, 1200 is cheaper for me because going with 800 would be treated as year 2 of my existing agreement and cause the price to go up to $95/month ($80/month base plus $10 for the 400-to-800 upgrade, plus another $5 for their decreased discount for auto-pay via credit card, because no way in hell am I giving them ACH access to my bank account).

 

So for the next year, I'll be paying $75/month for the privilege of gigabit Internet that I didn't even want. EABOD Comcast.

 

I can downgrade at this time next year, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just eliminate any non-poverty bandwidth options below $60 by then.

There is a good sale on now. Microsoft dropped the price to $400 USD. I grabbed it at $387 USD (520 CAD), bundled with Diablo IV. 

 

For context, I still have my 360 plugged in and last winter when my launch 7900 XTX had a faulty vapour chamber (see De8aurer videos for context)... I went back and played Red Dead Redemption on 360. I am looking forward to take advantage of their backwards compatibility since my 360 library is... extensive. If I don't end up using it, maybe I'll modify it into some Frankenstein ITX system.

I haven’t played much at all since the winter holidays (which was dominated by my weird Avatar obsession) and I have a fairly decent backlog that borderline brings me anxiety. I also did purchase Alan Wake 2 and I have not even booted it up yet but there are a quite a few games I also want to play but I will prioritize a couple (if possible).

 

One from last year (System Shock remake). Game looks great, I love Bioshock, and I like some of

the Deus Ex games. This seems like a fun take on a classic PC game and hopefully will introduce me to the System Shock series. On sale, 50% off.

 

Also in a few weeks time, Pacific Drive comes out and looks super fun. Survival horror is one of my favourite genres and mixing that with driving and roguelike elements like Hades, this has the potential to be one of favourite indie games. 10% discount (pre-order).

Never knew car batteries had such a lane. I've always just gone with batteries with the better "cold crank amps" rating. Been in a situation too many times where its -20C and welp, battery is out of juice.
