I don't know who needs to hear this, but I'll let you into a secret: it's okay to spend your money on whatever you want. That's not to say we don't all buy things we probably shouldn't, of course. I recently bought 24 cartons of barista oat milk only to find that it doesn't foam.
That's over a month of regret right there, and that was just this week. I even bought a SEGA Mega CD for crying out loud! If you fancy yourself a £700 PlayStation 5 Pro , the new high-end mid-gen console from Sony, I'm not going to stand in your way..
. but you might want to read this first. Over the last week I've been pondering how best to sum up the machine in a smart, witty, and articulate way.
The best I could come up with is this: you know when you find something funny, like a tweet or meme, and you save it to show your partner later that evening? Then you make a big song and dance about how they've got to see this brilliant thing you saw online. You show it and..
. nothing. At best you get a pitying stare that suggests you're one step closer to receiving divorce papers.
Realising that things have gone south, you explain the funny image and words, pointing out why it's actually one of the most hilarious things you've seen in ages, which makes you start to sound a little obsessed. It's over, they aren't getting it. You sigh inwardly as they let out a laugh usually reserved to humour your toddler who's excitedly burst into the room to announce they've done a "bottom burp".
This is the PS5 Pro expe.
