What was your last “impulse buy” and was it worth it?
-
Made a lateral upgrade from GTX 1080 to 6600XT. The performance is more or less the same but compatibility with Linux is much better for gaming. Games finally "just work" and was totally worth it for me
I've still got a GTX-1080 in service on my "HTPC." Which...is starting to be a problem, honestly. It's getting to where that card is too old to support things, like Bazzite's HTPC system apparently involves things the GTX-1080 can't do. It's a kickass graphics card but it's also a decade old and software has moved on. And I hate that shit, computer hardware outlives itself too damn often. I've got a literal pile of perfectly working ten year old computers.

Pickles, is that you?

Fancy jar of honey from the grocery store for me. Tasted pretty good.
I was going to wait to purchase Silksong until I actually had time to play it... and then I ended up buying it on release day. I've only played a few hours but damn did I enjoy it.

Try running GNOME on it. It has pretty good touch support.
I've actually already tried Gnome, which definitely works the best with touch. It seems to lack the amount of system settings that the standard cinnamon DE has though.

What is that from? She's pugly.

Chicken buillon powder at the Asian Market.
It's nice! I like it better than the store brand I normally get.

That's Pickles Aplenty from the netflix show Bojack Horseman, specifically season 6 episode 11 at around 21:40.

I've seen the show, but not in years. Thank you!

Bought trackball mouse
My workflow is not as fast as before but it is so much more comfortable, definitely worth it.

Edit: my clone reminds me he absolutely loves his neu-logitech-trackpad thing he uses. He likes that it's got three buttons instead of two and a dinky little rolly-nub, and he wouldn't part with his without a fight (and he's trained in pistol, c-7 in 'party mode', sword, staff, hands, and impolite words, so he'll have it even after the fall of society)

DJI Mic Mini that arrives today to pair with action camera and cycling.
I probably won't get a ton of use out of it, but any time I try to capture my rides just for family to see what I'm up to, it's all just wind noise.

Veggie burrito 5:30 in the morning worth it

And now you're gonna think about Pickles whenever you wear those on your puppies.

Awesome.
215 horsepower out of a street legal, featherweight 1 liter NA engine is 'normal' now I guess, but it still boggles my mind. And its low inertia! If you sent that thing back in time, engine designers' heads would explode.
Totally agree. The amount of hp this bike has blows my mind. But the thing like I said is just how smooth it is in the delivery and execution. The shifts are smooth and effortless, and the throttle is just smooth. You can dial in the power you want with different settings, so you can tone it down for things like riding in the rain. It's so much different than my 01, which was just raw power and no electronic goodies other than fuel injection. I love having both, and have a ton of miles on the 01 which I am looking forward to matching with the new bike.

This one? Looks great.
https://www.cycleworld.com/bikes/honda-cbr1000rr-r-sp-first-look/That's it. I got a 25 model, but it looks basically the same. They tweaked some internals from 24 to 25, but that's the bike. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me, and I jumped on it. Definitely my largest impulse buy ever. I figure my friends all think I am having a mid life crisis, but it's just a dream bike of mine that I never would have fathomed I would have a snowballs chance in hell of owning.

Ah yeah, there no real place to rest the thumb, but since I use my keyboard like 80% of the time it does not matter too much.

My first 3D printer. It’s been fun so far!
-
Silksong. Definitely worth it.
Same here, but I must say the platforming is a lot harder than I was expecting. Diagonal pogo is really messing me up. I can’t consistently get past those pogo bouncy fruit ball things and I’m stuck now. Hopefully it clicks soon.

Onewheel pint off FB marketplace for $300.
Showed up, turned it on and the light came on without any issues and the tire was deflated (neglected for a few years bc the guy bought a new one. Also the guy was a dad who died, so his son was selling it.) I assumed it worked. Got home, tried to start it, and I bonked the pavement with the front. Apparently the sensor was broken and it costed $150 to replace.
is it worth it? for 300, yes 100%. for 500.. ehhhhh.
edit: also thinking of starting a sub about onewheels

In case you're playing with controller, use the d-pad. Just hold left/right and down and you will always perform the pogo bounce instead of hitting air.
