Since I actually got this third stimulus check, and the proper amount of it all at once (me and two dependents), I spent some of it on a PlayStation 5 for Bub. I got it from a scalper for not too much over retail price, which was great. I also made sure to get one that had a disc drive because of the backwards compatibility that it boasts, and I began to download the digital versions of games that Bub had on the PlayStation 4 over to it. Needless to say, because of our Internet connection and the amount of games that he boasts over on the PlayStation 4, that took awhile… longer than I’d originally anticipated, but it got done.

I also got my glasses from Zenni Optical, and it only took me a day to get used to the new prescription.

Sadly, I could not get my old glasses in the new prescription from Zenni because they retired that frame (what?! how dare they), but I got a frame that was close enough to them that they will do. I was able to get the sunglasses (dark amber) in the same frame that I’ve been using for them, although they came in the mail two days after my regular glasses did… not quite sure how that happened, but hey, they got here and that’s what matters. I’m still a big fan of Zenni and will continue getting my glasses from them. They work for me.

But seriously, how dare they do this to me:

My former (old?) television set kind of… fell forward and onto our PlayStation 4 and Wii U, causing the screen to get messed up in a way that was not fixable. It was also just old enough for me not to be able to replace it with an identical television from the vendor that I got it from, so I sucked it up and got the cheapest “new” television that they had with enough HDMI slots for all of our consoles and games to seamlessly play. With a button, I can also summon Hulu and Netflix… well, with two buttons, respectively. It is kind of surreal to do.

Whenever I do manage to get us a PlayStation 5, I’m going to have to switch out which HDMI cable is plugged in with the PlayStation 4 unless I get another splitter, which I already saw coming. I may get that splitter depending on how many HDMI cabels I have to plug in and unplug, though… it all depends on how organized these things manage to keep themselves, as sometimes things like these have the penchant for at least attempting to wander off. I’m still not entirely sure if I want to get the digital version of the PlayStation 5 or what, although I am also aware that I will more than likely be at the mercy of scalpers, although I’ve already found a few good scalpers with decent prices that I am considering buying from. I guess we’ll have to see how that goes. I’ve already chosen several games that I want to get us on this new console as well.
