I pivoted to peripherals. My mouse, for example, has exactly 4 original parts left, everything but the shell, PCB, and side button switches are aftermarket. My headset has aftermarket cushions, and EQ profiles for specific genres of games and music. I’ve started learning about CPU and RAM clocks. Basically, modify/tune what you have, don’t buy new stuff.

Working in maintenance, automation to be specific, and I always leave the site with “I hope I never see you again!” to the client.
