So right now I have the equivalent of 400 dollars. Several months ago I payed that money for a service that I never utilized so I just got a refund.

I'm thinking what I can spend it on.

I'm content with my current computer hardware so an upgrade is unnecessary.

I was thinking of buying some video game console, but I'm afraid I might lose interest (like it's usual) and stop using it.

I'm no longer super interested in anime and only watch occasionally so I don't want any waifu figures.

I want ideas anons! What would you spend the money on?

Yes, I could just save it, but I don't want to.

Thought about that, but apparently it's kind of complicated buying that in my country.

I'd save it and pirate what I want like I've been doing for years now. There's places for games places for books, movies, jap shit, software etc. Luckily I never got into figurines or things like that either.

Believe it or not spending money on a powerful PC is the best choice for a hikki, no matter how content you are with the PC you have now, sooner or later you'll be hurting for space (anime/game backlog plus games getting bigger every year) or games will no longer run on high/acceptable settings, more so with the current state of emulation, PS3 is no longer a pipe dream and the 360 can already boot some games and run them at console speeds, it's just missing most textures and the requirements are insanely high.

>I was thinking of buying some video game console

Understandable, but $400 won't get you anywhere with 8th gen, you may be able to pick a 7th gen console and get all the relevant games for it, but blowing the $400 on that seems like a waste, i'd rather save the money than spend it on a console unless…

>but I'm afraid I might lose interest (like it's usual) and stop using it.

You buy it with CFW/Modchip installed, that way it won't hurt too much if you lose interest after a week and you'll have the entire library+some extras available at all times whenever you decide to come back to it.

>Pick your poison

A N3DS with a 256GB sd card and a DS flashcard will cost you around $200, but you'll be stuck mostly with nintendo/handheld stuff and the usual emulators (nes, snes, megadrive, genesis, gba).

A 3000 PSP with a dual memory stick adapter, two 256GB sd cards and extended battery can be gotten for $150, but you're stuck with PSP, PS1 and some emulators, not really worth it unless you get only the PSP, a 64GB sd card and the adapter for $50 to $90 dollars.

All vitas can be hacked now, get a slim for $120, buy the adapter and a 256GB SD card for $60 and you get the entire vita library which ironically is really solid despite everyone on the internet telling you it isn't, it has more games worth your time than the PS4/XONE/Switch combined, PSP, PS1 and emulators, this is THE console for an otaku.

A fat PS2 with a FMCB memory card, network/HDD adapter, component cables and a 250GB IDE HDD will set you back around $80, in my opinion a PS2 is a must have for anyone who likes videogames and it is absurdly cheap for what it offers (PS1, PS2 and emulators).

A slim 360 with RGH, 500GB HDD and one of the new controllers with the improved dpad and play-and-charge kit will be around $200; you get the superior multiplats, dudebro trash, emulators and OG xbox games.

A 250GB 2XXX slim PS3 should be around $100 and you can easily hack it yourself, you get niche, JRPG and japanese games, emulators, shitty multiplats, PS1 games and buggy emulation for PSP and PS2.

You can get a Wii U for $90-150 and it offers a shit ton, you get all the third, fourth and fifth gen consoles, gamecube, wii, DS, GBA and wii U games on a single console that outputs via hdmi AND you can play them all from the little tablet/controller thing thanks to homebrew, hacking it is really easy too, either fuck around with entrypoints for an hour or spend $5 on some game and use it for permanent CFW, no need for adapters or expensive storage, just a 4TB HDD.

Buying a snes, nes, sega, wii, xbox, gameboy or a DS is a complete waste since you can emulate them perfectly on superior consoles (xbox on 360, everything else on wii u), PS2 is the only one that can't be emulated perfectly, even on PC.

PS4 has softmods already, and getting a OG PS4 for cheap (read: $200) isn't hard, but there are very few games worth playing unless you're an idiot who likes cinematic western trash, i considered getting one last month until i realized that i would only play 4 games on it Girls und Panzer Dream Tank Match, Blue Reflection, Bloodborne and Driveclub, the Xbone has no games and the Switch is for bugmen, putting that aside it legitimately has even less games worth playing than the fucking PS4, and one of them is also on Wii U.

Maybe buy some cheap hardware for future replacement in case something goes bad with your current setup. Oh, and physical books are comfy, so buy some :)

if your planning on getting a game console, I would shy away from current gen consoles until they have ran their course and pick one up cheap unless one has a few games you really want to play. Or get one thats easy to softmod for free games, any ps3 now can load most back ups (not all mind for some slim and all super slims, only games that got an update or are on the PSNstore)

3ds has a good library and can be played online even with pirated games if your into that.

WiiU can run emus for pretty much anything a modded Wii could plus runs ds games nicely if your like me and hate using a mouse to play DS games.

all VITA models can be modded and the vita tv is piss cheap in the US from overstocking and zero people buying it, has alot of niche weeb games and the like.

Switch might be an option in the future as all first gen consoles can be softmodded due to its hardware, but cfw is only just opening up for it and doesn't really many games right now.

Outside of that, no idea. Maybe hobby stuff or new headphones.

You can't pirate hardware. So buy hardware for what you want to do or be able to do. Emulation is a good option to occupy endless time.

>>6142

I just looked up what bugmen means. That stuff is terrifying. I know someone who got the switch for one or two games, and (I'm pretty sure) to be seen with a switch. Shit's creepy.

You could buy a fleshlight or an onahole. They make dakimakura pillows that you can fit one into and dakis that have a hole for it.

If you had only £10 (12.8 burgerbucks at the time of this post - late asf at night), what would you spend it on?

Assuming you're not hungry, rent and bills are paid for. Necessities already secured, essentially.

As it's been a few months since OP started the thread, I wonder what he's spent it on?

As for what I'd do in OP's position, buy a kettle, if needed, and a $10 gaiwan and spend the remaining $390 on high-roast oolong and puerh tea. I'd then have enough tea and a cheap way to brew it to last me several winters.

>>6724

Well, if you're buying online, shipping costs would cut down on what you could get. In that case, I'd probably buy an ebook.

I own 2 ps3 first gens which I got for $60 each (make sure they have the warranty label still on otherwise they may have been reflowed and will die in a month) and once CFW'd they are a terrific. I even installed OtherOS++ which was cool I heard someone got the RSX chip drivers working. Would highly recommend. Anything 4.81 OFW and below is CFW able with a network switch and a computer although I did mine before the crack and flashed mine with a teensy++ 2.0 and 360clip.

There are plenty of sites with game rips such as nicoblog.org with plenty of Mega links

Also about all vitas being hacked please tell me more I was looking into them before.

Basically every firmware but the latest (3.69) can be softmodded now, gone are the days where if you wanted a CFW ready Vita you had to order a brand new one from japan or make doubly sure to tell the ebay seller not to update it to the latest firmware before sending it it happened a lot, and people still don't know if they did it out of sheer idiocy or just malice, expandable storage also got insanely cheap, back then the biggest you could get was a official 64GB memory card from japan with a $150 pricetag, or a 32GB one from the states for about $70 if you didn't want to import, but now you can order a $5 SD2VITA adapter from china and the biggest SD card you can afford.

If you're looking into getting a Vita i recommend you get one of the FAT models, it has a gorgeous OLED screen and the 3G port can be replaced with a SD slot, but it lacks internal storage (slim has 1GB that gets disabled once you insert a memory card in it) which means you need to get a official sony memory card in order to hack it, but that's not an issue, you can grab a 4GB one from any pawnshop for $5 and hack it, then pop your adapter+128GB memory card inside it.

If you don't have a zojirushi/tiger/etc hot water dispenser, then get one. Once you experience the convenience of hot water available at arms reach 24/7 at the push of a button you'd wonder how you lived without it. It's probably one of the best hundred some dollars I've ever spent.

>keep teabags on your desk

instant tea

>keep bowl noodles at your desk

instant ramen

>keep paper towel roll at you desk

instant hot towels

>talking from first hand hikki experience

Make sure it's a made in Japan model. Also make sure that the one you get has a "quick temp" feature. This feature brings the water up to the set temperature without boiling it first. In normal operation the water dispensers automatically reboil the water for a minute or two every time you refill it, and then lets the water temperature slowly drop until it's reached the set temp, at which point it holds it there indefinitely. This is because the Japanese usually fill it with tap water and the auto boiling cycle acts to boil out the chlorine taste. Japan generally has excellent quality tap water but most other places don't so chances are you should probably only be drinking filtered water, which makes the boiling cycle pointless. Why you should use the quick temp feature vs just letting it automatically reboil is that, over time, the hot steam of the repeated boiling cycles ends up slowly breaking down the plastic of the steam vent. This takes a few years but eventually the plastic becomes so brittle and crumbly that small plastic chips flake off and fall into the water reservoir. Using the quick temp feature to stop reboiling prevents this plastic breakdown from happening. It also prevents mineral scaling issues that tend to arise from constantly reboiling hard water.
