Pick one perfect thing in your life. The rest will be mediocre/sub-par (a 3 out of 10 in quality). And no, you CANNOT use one to cheat and get the other ones. ONE thing will be perfect, and the rest will be crap, unless you choose the last option.

A) Your perfect soulmate, or Forever Alone.
B) Your ideal body, or short, overweight, and ugly.
C) Your dream career, or "just a dead-end job" that gets you a mediocre paycheck every two weeks.
D) Two of the best, most loyal, most genuine people you could have as friends (your preference), or mere acquaintances you can't even trust.
E) Complete confidence and no insecurities about your personality and looks (happiness not guaranteed), or insecurities, fears, and doubt like everyone else.
F) Easy lotto jackpot win of millions of dollars, or lower middle-class for life.
G) Everything on the list is upgraded to a 4 out of 10 in quality and you get it all, but nothing is too great or fantastic.

I think I'd have to go with the soulmate. My life is already basically option G.

Movies, books, music etc.

So this is a question I’ve been thinking about for a while. I prefer to have physical copies of my games, books, movies, and records, because you can pick them up and touch them, lend them out, sell them, and my biggest reason of all, is kind of use them as display pieces. I think having a bookshelf full of books, a cabinet full of DVDs and whatnot will give houseguests another way of seeing you, and your personality and interests. (Especially a good thing if you have a potential partner over.)

On the other hand, my Brother-in-Law prefers Digital downloads and streaming. Sure it definitely saves storage space and is better than bringing a laptop and a few DVDs to watch on a road trip, but it feels more impersonal to me. You don’t completely own them, unless like you have them actually installed on the device, but I think most people will use services Like Vudu, Google Play, Itunes, or others like Netflix or Hulu where you really don’t own anything at all, and in either case, kind of screwed when you don’t have working internet or data. I was especially reminded of this when we recently had a snowstorm that caused a power outage and also messed with our ISP’s nearby tower, so after the power came back on I was at least able to play my offline games on my Xbox, while my mother couldn’t watch TV on the Living room TV because we use YoutubeTV, and although the power was back on, our Wifi was out for hours afterwards and so no signing in or streaming could be done. At this point, one could pop in a physical DVD in the PS4, but she’s not very game controller-inclined. That’s not the point though, just that it could be done! At least the data on the phones were still working so she still had something to keep her occupied. Though it could have been avoided with having data, but we don’t have YouTubeTV on phones and she doesn’t have Vudu on hers.

So, what are your preferences?
